  1. I can deny it. There's a good argument that Penix was robbed of the Heisman. He threw for 430 tonight in the second-best statistical performance by a quarterback in CFP history. Quinn probably beats him tonight if the CB doesn't make a great play on the ball at the end there, or if Jaydon Blue doesn't fumble, or the ball doesn't bounce off Muhammad's hands directly to Odunze. So lose the faux condescension and stop this sad attempt at a victory lap.
  2. I don’t think he’s better than VY. That’s silly. But he’s an upper echelon sophomore and will be a heisman candidate when the season starts. Not sure how the roster stacks up next year but Texas has to be a top 5 team preseason. Basically he’s good enough to knock off the heavy criticism (acknowledging he can get better at several aspects of his game) and enjoy the stellar season he’s having … as a sophomore.
  3. I’m glad we have Quinn. He is good. I know we were all over exaggerating and being half serious when we said he would win a heisman but I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Yes he’s a freshman but man he throws that ball away like no other. It’s like he doesn’t even try to extend it. I know they are diff QB’s but you see Bruce young have all these heisman moments and USC QB blanked on name. I remember seeing CJ stroud in his first game last year and he was really bad so hopefully Quinn makes the same jump. He’s still very good but idk about first round leaving next year good, yet. If X isn’t gonna try at deep balls do we really not have anyone else we can try it with that’ll at least not give up on the route? Not Casey Cain obviously.
  4. Such as Longhornlove? Not touching this thread as of now lol. I still think there's a greater chance he declares than comes back, but the chance of coming back has risen as his draft stock has fallen. He was in everyone's Heisman watch list early in the season, now not even on those that go 20 deep. That could change with some great performances the next 2-3 games, but he won't be invited to NY with this much ground to catch up.
  5. Before, it was the previous years Heisman winner or the player that should have won it (Looking at you, Larry Fitzgerald). They did some occasional throwbacks at the end. Supposedly, Ollie Gordon is the highest rated player on the game at 99. I find that hard to believe. I’d love for Brooks to be on the cover, or Sweat and Murphy. If not them Ewers. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Shadeur because Deion is gonna wind up lobbying for that. I wonder if they will go with the regional approach for the cover for the first one back.
  6. the “he’s a longhorn legend” post got 8 positive reactions and nobody besides me has disagreed with that guy. beyond that there’s such a thing as tacit endorsement, and this thread is full of it. when people keep talking about the heisman and the nfl and nobody but me cares to disagree, i think it’s safe to say that the rest of this QE love fest thread is not in disagreement. but hey, keep being condescending about everything you say to me, it’s a really earnest way to approach people. 👌🏻
  7. This thread is so off the fucking rails it doesn’t even make sense. We are a defensive collapse and a game Quinn played significantly injured through away from Quinn being a top 3 heisman candidate and you morons are in here arguing about running backs in different conferences. I’m glad Texas is back in the national conversation and all, but seriously can we focus this fucking thread on Quinn and what he’s done and what he needs to do better?
  8. I agree but I also think Jr year is when that stuff starts to click. The game has to slow down even more for that to emerge - that just takes time. It’s the same in every sport. We’ve been so fucked on QB play we’ve forgotten how long it can take to really develop an elite heisman level QB. Right now we have a superb QB that with this offense, play calling and personnel is already CFP elite. That’s nuts.
  9. From the '70s to '90s, Miami had Jim Kelly, Bernie Kosar, Vinnie Testaverde, Steve Walsh, Craig Erickson, and Gino Torretta, the latter three of which won national championships in '87, '89, and '91 (and Kosar won in '83), with Testaverde and Torretta winning the Heisman. In terms of college production that streak is unreal, but consider that three of those QBs had lengthy NFL careers and the other three also started NFL games under center, and I doubt any school matches that streak.
  10. ^^^ THAT = me saying “everyone”? in what world dude? i mean @Dbeasy even put “everyone” in quotes, as if it was a direct quote from me. and this is what you come up with as proof that i’ve said that “everyone” in here has called him a legend, predicted the heisman, and foretold of his nfl success? motherfucker do you speak english? i’ll give it to you jj, your want-to when it comes to starting shit is off the charts. it’s your execution that so often leaves a lot to be desired.
  11. Dude Manziel was a RS freshman, Winston didn’t play, you are essentially talking about Caleb Williams that came in ready to spit fire- and even then it took him 6 games to get the start and he looked like shit against us throwing when he got his first real opportunities. And- you are self selecting Heisman winners as the best of the best which even more shades the numbers. True freshmen are shit like 98% of the time. RS freshmen suck like 80 or 90% of the time.
  12. Not really man. Go look at the post I made with the numbers for the last 10 Heisman winners as freshmen, he’s actually better than most. I wanted him to be special. He hasn’t been. That doesn’t mean he won’t be, just that he currently isnt. I bet he’s all conference next year. We need him to be all American. I’d bet against that based upon what I saw this year but your standard for a freshman just isn’t reasonable man.
  13. Penix played out of his mind. If he played like that all year the heisman should’ve won it. He was making insane throws. That wa slime lsu 19. Unreal. How were we even in this game and it wasn’t a blow out offense didn’t play great defense was shaky. But here we are a heart breaker. So damn proud of this team regardless. I feel for the players. The play calling was suspect but red zone has been all year so what do we expect.
  14. I feel like I’ve been here before lol. Rick Barnes arguments had Derka on the other side of the coin tho, I mean no one did less with more than Rick Barnes but now Quinn is the guy who is carried by his supporting cast lol. Sam got the same kind of weird response out of Derka. I think Quinn needs to come back and win a heisman then go first overall in the draft. Put a magical end to his college career.
  15. I know this is gonna be hard for you to digest, but just because one or two posters say something doesn't mean the majority of us agree with it. Now commence with your typical parsing of verbiage and go off half-cocked, again, for another night of fun on surly. Here's one example: I don't consider him a legend, and I don't consider him a Heisman candidate, now or in the future. I can't predict NFL success. I suspect he will get drafted pretty high, though.
  16. the entire premise of this post makes no sense. quinn could win two heisman trophies and that will have done nothing to disprove anything from my post. any future success ghat quinn has will be because he has vastly improved as a QB. hes not a good qb today. he was not a good qb yesterday. he has not been a good qb this year. he needs to improve across the board as a QB before he's on the level to lead this team. that's a fact today, and it'll be a fact 1,000 years from now.
  17. you want to come back here in one year to re-check that Quinn Ewers wasn't good this season? what's going to happen in the future that's going to change that reality? again, he could win three heismans and go 37-0 from here on out and it wouldn't change anything about who he is today or how he's played this season. but uh, have fun setting that up. i know you can't wait to make this thread all about me if/when QE comes good. great plan. 👌🏼
  18. There's no question if he declares he will be drafted based on potential and upside, but based on his body of work so far in CFB you know Quinn has to be asking himself how high he would be drafted coming out this year. If he comes back he will once again land on Heisman lists and have a chance to even win the thing if he improves just a little bit. Of course I don't know how Quinn or those around him think...as in I wouldn't put money on him coming back.
  19. i know, right? that was so weird when i fought back against the idea that sam was a longhorn legend, a heisman contender, and a future nfl qb. so weird. totally nonsensical! you’ve got me there guy. amything that goes against this forum’s wild fanboy nonsense is considered either radical or trolling, no matter how right those takes end up proving to be. sorry dudes, but someone refusing to take part in this unwarranted hero worship is neither of those things, it’s simply a differing, usually more fact-based opinion.
  20. i also don't want to hear anything about him being a freshman, as if that's an excuse to be *this* bad. colt mccoy went from Tuscola Jim Ned to a redshirt year to a Heisman favorite. in fact Colt was 2nd in the Rocky Mountain News heisman poll when he was injured vs K State. colt had none of Ewers's "arm talent", colt couldn't "make every throw"- he was not physically blessed with any of quinn's gifts- but he could play quarterback. physically, 19 year old QE looks a lot better than Colt McCoy does at some Elite 11 camp or when throwing the ball around in shorts and shirts. but what happens when you actually ask them to captain an offense on saturdays? it's not even close. QE has miles of progress left to make if he wants to be where Colt MCoy was as a freshman, and yet half this thread is just flippantly telling the rest of us that we're all jumping the gun, and that it's essentially a given that QE is going to become the QB was supposed to be. how does that work? again, if QE wasn't the anointed chosen one 3 years ago then nobody here would be acting like that.
  21. He’s gutting it out hurt and making some very very good throws and missing some guys. He missed half his junior year, skipped his senior year and got hurt two times in his two years starting. He’s started something like 30 games since his sophomore year of high school. he’s gonna be fucking awesome if he comes back next year. He’s currently a very good quarter back that will likely be a Heisman finalist next year. Some of yall need to eat less paint chips.
  22. There's no question if he declares he will be drafted based on potential and upside, but based on his body of work so far in CFB you know Quinn has to be asking himself how high he would be drafted coming out this year. If he comes back he will once again land on Heisman lists and have a chance to even win the thing if he improves just a little bit. Of course I don't know how Quinn or those around him think...as in I wouldn't put money on him coming back. If he comes back he absolutely will be on the radar for lots of awards, and it has to be tempting.
  23. There are a lot of posters who have become overly critical of Ewers. It really is ridiculous. When you see what happened with Maalik at QB, and what other programs like Tennessee roll out at QB, it becomes pretty obvious that Ewers is a very good QB. The throws he’s able to make open up the offense in ways that would otherwise be impossible. No QB plays mistake free. Is he Heisman quality right now? No. But, the overly negative opinions simply identify the posters who don’t really know much about the game. Thanks for making it so easy to ID the football idiots.
  24. Then what are we even talking about. This started with a stat post comparing them for 7 games in their redshirt sophomore season. What’s the point of that? It tells us nothing. You can’t hand wave away Colt’s success because he played for a good team. Greg Davis was calling his plays lol. Colt never had a group of weapons like this team has. Colt was Heisman candidate level in every season he was here except his sophomore year. If you compare their full tenures to this point, they aren’t comparable. That’s not a slight on Quinn. He just hasn’t been at that level yet.
  25. I'm still doubtful he comes back . yes I know the scuttlebutt , but if he grades out he's gone. If he comes back it will probably blow people's minds because we haven't had a qb with all the surrounding pieces this good since McCoy Would be the best thing for Texas for an experienced Ewers to lead us through year 1 of SEC , seems like striking gold Most of the Heisman contenders are multi year starters and historically QBs tend to get better the more time in a system. Expectations for a Ewers return would be sky fucking high and I'm here for it if it happens
