  1. i’m the guy who isn’t losing his shit and acting like a child over someone else’s opinion of a college quarterback. sorry for not remembering your handle. at least you’re handling it maturely. 👌🏼
  2. i’ve seen clips of him in camp making some of those “wow” throws that have tantalized people since quinn was 16. i feel like if sark can’t turn you into a consistently above average qb then you’re probably not going to ever make it in the league, but as has been stated, he’s in the best position possible. i’m actually really looking forward to watching him play in the preseason, and it’s going to be much easier for me to all-out root for him now that his play doesn’t affect the team that i love. i’m really interested in seeing what mcdaniel can do with him. *to be clear: i absolutely rooted for quinn to succeed at Texas, but with the way he was holding the team back, and with how great Arch looked, i could never get fully behind quinn. that’s not an issue for me now.
  3. more than a year and a half later and we’re still just going in circles.
  4. be sure to call me out the next time you see me “going nuts” in this thread. in fact feel free to back up this assertion with prior examples of my meltdowns over people disagreeing with me in this thread. i welcome it as an avenue for my own personal growth. get after it.
  5. no, it is factually *not* a highly contested opinion. countless times in this thread i have ranked our starters from the last two teams, countless times i have invited others to do the same, and countless times, exactly zero of you have decided to partake, because it’s impossible to rank quinn ewers very highly when he’s been surrounded by kelvin banks, jonathan brooks, xavier worthy, ad mitchell, matthew golden, jt sanders, gunnar helm, et al. quinn was never in the top half of our best starting offensive players during his time at Texas. you want to be the first one to actually post your own list, be my guest. here’s a pertinent reminder for you: PFF ranked quinn ewers as the 12th best starting qb in the sec last year, 200th best in the nation. both of those facts have been posted here. now please, go ahead and make your own case that he wasn’t a weak link on our offense during his entire career here. blaze the trail brother.
  6. are you serious? is this a joke? this is like arguing that vince young wasn’t athletic, that ricky williams didn’t break tackles, that bryant westbrook didn’t hit hard. you’re highlighting the most glaring flaws in QE’s game and not only saying that you don’t believe they exist, but that nobody can back up such wild assertions. give me a second while i go back to march/april and find the posts in this thread (or was it the bro draft thread? 🤔) with that scathing in depth scouting report on quinn which highlighted all of these deficiencies in his game (and more). you know, the one that got posted right before QE nearly missed being drafted completely. not that your own eyeballs shouldn’t have already confirmed all of this for you already.
  7. you can’t make a knee-jerk reaction months after the fact, guy. but thanks for teaching *me* what a diatribe is. that is brand new information.
  8. simms was easily better at Texas than QE was, and u seriously doubt you’ll find many here who would disagree with that. as for how they were treated, my god, it’s not even close. not only did chris simms have none of the wildly faithful throngs of adorers that QE had/has, people *hated* chris simms in a way that QE’s biggest “haters” have never approached. simms has never wanted to come back here because of the way he was treated, meanwhile quinn is a demigod on campus and among most fans. this one isn’t even up for debate.
  9. they are different things. quinn was one of our worst offensive players- that’s the truth. ”you guys act as if quinn went winless- that’s wild, overly emotional hyperbole. first, being “one of the worst offensive players at Texas” the last two years is hardly the insult you’re making it out to be, and second, i don’t make ad hominem posts like that to insult QE, i simply point this fact out whenever someone says, “quinn led us to the playoff semifinals two years in a row” or something similar. it’s then that i point out that our coaches, defense, and skill position players are who actually “led us” to back to back playoff semifinals, pointing out that QE was one of the weaker links during both seasons. that’s not shit talk, that’s simple fact. look, you guys don’t like/can’t handle criticism of your favorite players. fine. just don’t make it out to be anything else, like people are just mercilessly attacking quinn ewers, when in reality his adoring and dedicated fans have made him out to be something that he’s not, and all people are doing is pushing back against this false narrative that QE was a great qb who was the main reason for Texas’s recent success. he wasn’t. sorry.
  10. since you’ve decided to inject yourself into this dumbass back and forth, i’ll invite you as well to actually quote someone- anyone- in this thread who’s “made it out to be as if quinn went winless at Texas.” meanwhile, y’all just keep proving my point. the lawyer guy made an indefensibly hyperbolic statement, i posted “nobody here has said that”, and now three of you are in here posting about me and how terrible i am, and not even pretending to contribute to the thread. but that’s on me, right? right. it could never be that y’all are the ones being overly emotional or combative, derailing the threads for no discernible reason, right? right.
  11. exactly. it’s the very people who get upset at my benign disagreements who then swear up and down that it’s me who is overly emotional. i’m not the one speaking in crazy hyperbole or mass negging posters who disagree with me, and yet here we are. even you yourself have habitually made posts in this thread about what an unstable lunatic i am, even though none of my posts here bear that out to be true, and none of your personal attacks on me ever get a response- much less a rise- out of me. the irony is not only lost on you, you are the embodiment of said irony. if only the legend of my volatility and immaturity matched my actual posting history, you’d really be on to something here.
  12. based on what gerry said there heide sounds kind of like jordan barnett. the mizzou version, not the one who shaka decided he had no use for.
  13. that = “quinn took a team full of AA’s and went winless for his career”? i think it’s funny that you and your people make arguments like this, get overly emotional and neg my posts, and then walk away going, “man that derka is so emotional and immature.” yeah. that’s it.
  14. and who said this? you don’t get to talk about anyone mischaracterizing what you’ve said when this is how you started off this discussion.
  15. i wish you guys would ever, just once, actually back up these asinine statements with any sort of evidence at all, because it’s just not true. people have rightfully criticized QE for his shortcomings, and aside from one poster calling him a pussy 1,000 times, it really hasn’t gone too far beyond that. chris simms was a much better player who got mistreated 1,000x worse than quinn did. when quinn left Texas our fans acted like their hearts were being ripped out. in reality QE has way, way, way more support and way less BS criticism than you guys act like is the case. no one UT player has ever been more exalted for doing less, and yet so many of you remain forever hung up on the minority of us who weren’t blown away by his subpar play. get over it.
  16. kinda like how QE could be one of our worst offensive players the last two years and still get treated like vince young + tim tebow gave birth to the second coming of jesus christ by you and yours. weird how that works.
  17. you want a safe space; you want hornfans. how are we supposed to have a thread about any player, much less this player, if there’s NCAA- NO CRITICISM AT ALL? i have no idea why it hurts so many of you so deeply, or why you have this constant need to admonish anyone who doesn’t blindly slurp all things UT, but your sentiments have been duly noted for some time now. you think we don’t need any criticisms of QE being posted here? i can promise you that we don’t need anymore “gosh you guys are so mean and negative why can’t you just be positive” posts. the other thing that’s so weird about this, and it’s the same in the hoops forum too: on game day there’s 1,000 posts just crushing half the players on the team, and that’s fine, but when it comes to the threads where we actually discuss these specific players then it’s just wildly out of line. “fuck player x, i hope he transfers and gets hit by a bus” = +30 rep in a game thread, meanwhile “player x needs to improve at a, b, and c” is wildly triggering to read in the player-dedicated thread. makes no sense.
  18. 90% of penalties are called against me, and none of them are on my user controlled player.
  19. y’all are spending all this time talking about the wr room (which was one of the better wr rooms in america) as if it had anything to do with quinn’s issues. our wr room made quinn look *better* than he actually was (todd mcshay can’t stop creaming himself over how many bad throws were caught by golden) and y’all are in here talking about the “wr room drop off” like that’s why quinn has zero pocket presence, is scared to death to get hit, is inaccurate, has poor footwork, can’t throw deep, has no zip on his passes, routinely self sacks, etc. stop acting like it’s anyone else’s fault that QE was one of our offenses worst players last year. it wasn’t the wr room’s fault that QE was uninspiring as a qb.
