watched once upon a time tin hollywood for the first time. tarantino says it’s his best movie; it’s not. of the tarantino movies i’ve seen i’d go: 1a)pulp fiction 1b)inglorious basterds 3)django 4)reservoir dogs 5)jackie brown 6)once upon a time in hollywood 7)the hateful eight this movie was long, pretty slow, and took like two hours to develop any obvious storyline. it was fine. nothing more.

i’m going to name some qbs, and i’ll ask you to think of the times that they led- truly led- Texas to a victory via their leadership and on-field play, particularly in tight/big games. •peter gardere •james brown •major applewhite •chance mock •vince young •colt mccoy •case mccoy •tyrone swoopes •sam ehlinger •arch manning •quinn ewers now ask yourself: with all of the wins we’ve had during QE’s time as a starter, why doesn’t he immediately have more famous wins come to mind than the likes of, say, james brown, major applewhite, or sam ehlinger? we all thought of the game in tuscaloosa when we saw quinn’s name, but what else? how many times has our third year, “heisman candidate/no.1 overall pick”, $1M NIL QB actually led his team to a win with his leadership and play? not many. i’m not saying he’s all hat and no cattle, but is like 90/10. our defense, coaching, and stockpile of nfl talent has been winning us games while our superstar QB has largely been a passenger.

i like how we have a video of chris simms, who is clearly trying to exalt Texas with his take, explicitly saying, “quinn ewers locks onto his first read and then just stands frozen in the pocket waiting for him to get open, instead of making his read progressions and looking for his second, third, fourth option”, and that video, which got glossed over by 99% of the people here, is surrounded by 300 pages of surly posters going, “nah that’s bullshit, our running game just sucks.” we legitimately have a qb who is 1)not a threat to run, 2)not a threat to regularly throw the ball more than five yards downfield, 3)who cannot make read progressions, and 4)who is scared of contact and has zero pocket presence because of it, and yet the popular sentiment among a large portion of this thread is, “yeah if our run game was better then everyone would see how awesome quinn ewers is.”

he was a running back for the jets.

the entire premise of this thread is discussing the job that our head coach is doing, a subject that was never brought up in motown’s incredulous rant about people writing off our team after four games, something that nobody in this thread is doing.

when you come into a thread saying, “call me crazy but i think we should let this season play out before we write off this team”, there’s generally somebody, if not many somebodies, saying otherwise. when you say, “it’s very silly to make pronouncements about this team after 4 games”, you would expect that somebody is making negative pronouncements about the team. nobody in this thread is doing either of those things. the last pronouncement made about the team in this thread is that it’s a legit second weekend team. so what’s the fuss about? besides which, this is the fire RT thread, not the team season thread. it’s just a strange, ad hominem, righteously indignant post aimed at nobody.

what kind of college football championship team thinks or plays this way? none. absolutely nobody is out here trying to be the trent dilfer ravens. nobody thinks that you can win a national title while hiding your quarterback. again, when arch comes in/starts the game we’re bombing the ball down the field and calling a totally different game than when QE is in. its two totally different offenses. it’s beyond clear by now that our offensive game planning and play calling have been centered around quinn’s shortcomings. been that way for more than a year.

i’m not sure who that post is even addressing. who do you see in here writing off the team?

it’s happened on several occasions. the 2H vs vandy was just pathetic.

uh, no. if RT was capable of that he would have shown it years ago at his previous jobs. let’s not get crazy here. barnes has a resume at Texas that will not be touched for a long time. Beard had the opportunity to actually exceed what barnes did at Texas, but he obviously blew it. RT is not going to win 400 games and go to 16 tourneys in 17 years at Texas. we can support RT without going crazy hyperbolic.

what exactly have i posted that makes you say this?

9 points and 8 rebounds in 15 minutes in his season debut.

and who exactly has quinn played? he was terrible against the one team we played with a pulse, and his best win is against 5-3 vanderbilt where we scored zero TDs and six total points in the second half. show me all of the skins that QE has on his wall from this season? beyond that, just look at the tape. arch’s tape dominates quinn’s tape despite arch playing way fewer snaps. QE has had 3-4x as many opportunities as Arch has had to put together a solid film reel, and yet its arch who we see making his reads and hitting his progressions, its arch who we see making plays with his legs, its arch who we see keeping his eyes downfield while moving up in the pocket, and its arch who we see making play after play downfield. what does quinn’s highlight reel look like, besides self sacks, sideways throws, and “jackpot!” level deep balls that land 15 yards beyond receiver?

QE, with sark as his third year coach, and surrounded by the best pass catchers in america, is no.25 nationally in QB RTG, and no.68 nationally in yards gained oer pass. Arch Manning is no.2 nationally in both categories. weird how they have the exact same coach and surrounding cast, and yet both the eyeball test and the stats show that sark runs totally different offenses for each qb, with the arch manning offense being much more dynamic and explosive. hmm…i wonder what conclusions we can draw from that.

absolutely nobody here is rooting for us to lose to a&m.

that’s what sark has already been doing for two years. quinn has had 5x as many shaky games as he has had games where he cruises and looks confident and capable. sark was already dumbing down his offense for quinn last year, and this year it’s gotten so bad that the offense has essentially been reduced to nothing but quick hitters. quinn is not some up and down qb, he is who he is, and we’ve been getting “average quinn” the overwhelming majority of the time the last two years. this is who we are. sark has been the one winning us games on offense for two years now, not quinn.

i wouldn’t post this if i thought it would start a new round of slap fighting, but i’m certain it won’t be a problem because motown has me on ignore, plus as we all know he is “done”. anyway he just neg repped a random post of mine from august 27th. i’m sorry but that’s goddamn funny. he comes in here talking crazy shit to me for no reason, he loses his mind when i literally just respond, and then he’s all, “IM THE ONLY ONE HERE TRYING TO KEEP THE PEACE HERE!!!”, meanwhile he’s finding random posts of mine from three months ago and negging them. sounds like having me on ignore ire is going swimmingly. 😂 also, just to make this post actually somewhat germane to the thread topic, i really believe that when this team is healthy that we are a legit S16/E8 team, and i don’t see RT being on the hot seat any time soon if we’re reaching that potential. i still want him to be a better regular season coach, but if he can assemble a roster and win in march then fuck it, i’ll gladly take it.
