On the other hand.
Statistics aside, this notion that Quinn compares unfavorably to other playoff QBs doesn't make any sense. I went to the Penn State game last week and Allar was not good. PSU won because of the weather, the crowd, and the SMU QB's public meltdown, but their guy engaged in some under-the-radar pussification. Later that night there was Nico, standing doe-eyed in the pocket before taking off and scrambling because either nobody was open downfield or he couldn't see them (and, if you've watched Tennessee this year, you know he'd overthrow an open receiver anyhow). Will Howard dropped dimes that game but we know the true story there. Kurtis Rourke spammed back-shoulder passes to no avail and air mailed an INT on his team's only real chance during competitive play. Riley Leonard can be fun but let's see his numbers against real competition. As long as we're marshaling talking heads to support our dug-in positions, McShay ranked Ewers second in terms of the playoff QBs he had the most confidence in, behind Gabriel. That seems reasonable to me when you consider who else is out there.
