  1. No-one should worry about the Heisman. If he comes out and whips OU and UGA he'll be Jesus reincarnate.
  2. Ewers isn't winning the Heisman because he played against ULM or losing out on it because he sat. "Heisman moment" is a phrase for a reason. His chances at that award will be based on his and the term's performance in three games, absent any complete clunkers: Oklahoma Georgia Texas A&M If he lights those three up he is in great shape and no one will remember he sat out a game or two against cupcakes in September. If he doesn't, ULM or Mississippi State highlights aren't going to save him.
  3. Wrong. If you want to win the Heisman and more, you let Arch play the entire ULM game. You dial up 12 touchdown passes for him (breaking David Klingler's record). In the postgame press conference, you casually drop, "Yeah, Arch broke a 34-year-old record, and now I'm not sure that this record will ever be broken", while staring unblinkingly at Quinn the whole time. The night before the Mississippi State game, you knock on Quinn's dorm room. You say, "You want to start against the Sooners? You know what you need to do." The next day, you and Quinn beat Mississippi State 224-0, breaking John Heisman's record and succeeding in converting 28 two-point conversions. After the game, you call two Bulldog coeds down from the bleachers. You tell them you and Quinn will cheer them up in the locker room. You wink knowingly. They're from Mississippi, so they're total sluts and immediately agree to join you. But they didn't know which locker room to go to and guessed wrong because they're from Mississippi. It doesn't matter. You're not going to the locker rooms. You're heading straight to the airport to fly non-stop to New York. You've got a date with a stiff-arming bronze trophy, and you'd hate to keep him waiting.
  4. I for one think Ewers will be grateful that he gets a couple of weeks rest and can come back 100% right before the gauntlet of OU and Georgia, and doesn't have to worry about some small team twisting his ankles in a scrum or something. We have two Heisman-caliber QBs, we would be fucking stupid not to use them like this.
  5. 2 things occur to me....First, I think part of the reason we are ranked # 1 now is that the really,really,really smart guys(not really) that vote the polls see that we have top notch QB play no matter who is in there.....and second, we now have two candidates in the Heisman race so we will split the vote and have some other slug get the award....
  6. Fuck ESPN now and forever This is a terrible idea. Heisman is not the goal. National championship is the goal.
  7. So…I’m jumping on some of that Quinn plus $1,800 to win the Heisman action ASAP
  8. Start him next week. Let him throw for another 2 easy TDs, then let Arch come in and score another 35 points. Do the same against Miss St. Quick/safe passes and the Heisman will be his with the big wins against OU and especially Georgia. Heisman opportunities don’t grow on trees. Hell, couldn’t even win one with our 2 best QBs ever.
  9. Milroe is winning the Heisman. ESPN is all in.
  10. this is exactly right. ewers has earned every benefit of any doubt and is fully capable of leading us to a championship. he may well be a heisman contender, high first rounder. but in a situation where there’s a doubt, and arch does indeed fire off record breaking stats while looking like vince himself, then let the young man work his magic. it’s an unlikely scenario, but not outside the realm of plausibility. you start manning if, and only if, you believe he’s the difference between a national championship or falling just short.
  11. 1) Young played a full season and won the Heisman in the year prior. 2) Teams absolutely had concerns a lot Young’s ability to handle the physicality of the NFL. Carolina didn’t, so he went high, and they were of course wrong. 3) What I posted is what a direct family member told people around the program. It’s not a debate. He needs to play a full season to assuage concerns with various teams that might draft him. You quoted a post in which I explicitly referenced a gap between the players. The attempt to frame my post as the opposite of that is pure poster ineptitude.
  12. Not telling anyone anything they don’t know, … The whole Heisman discussion at this point is of course ridiculous. He was on fire when he went out. We’ve got a scrimmage next week and SEC roadkill the next game. He picks up where he left off and we steamroll our way to the Conference Championship nobody will even remember he missed a couple of games and he’ll win it. And…in the worst case scenario that he’s out for an extended period of time…well then no shit, he won win the Heisman. If his odds continue to fall a couple hundred would be a worthy investment
  13. Yeah. Arch looked good but you could tell the difference between the 2. Quinn throws such a pretty ball. Arch will be fine. But let’s stop and smell the roses. Quinn is damn good and if he keeps playing like this he will win the heisman. #AllIn4Quinn
  14. Arch gonna be a top 3 Heisman favorite if he starts the next 2 games against these shitty teams. He's already getting the 7th best odds at BetGM because they know he's about to torch the teams coming up on the schedule.
  15. This morning I wake up to someone who actually believes Manning has progressed as far as Quinn. Ridiculous. While Arch was great, it was obvious there were limits on his game plan and he made some read mistakes. He also was essentially on only one read. Quinn had progressed to the Heisman favorite, especially with what Georgia didn’t do last night. I’m almost as upset about the Heisman as I am the risk to the title march. Not having a Heisman QB from Texas is also ridiculous.
  16. Jesus this thread has turned into a beating. "Quinn's a pussy, Quinn's brittle, Quinn lost the Heisman, Quinn probably screwed up his abs partying too hard last week, Arch should be QB1...." Here the facts: 1. Quinn is a fucking badass. 2. See #1.
  17. I'll bet he's back for ou. We have ULM then Miss St, and then a bye. He'll have 3 weeks to heal up, and if it's a grade 1, which is what people are speculating, we're good. It's just 2 games, and after that he'll be back and continue his rampage onwards to a Heisman win. It's just game 3. Once we reach week 8 no one will remember him getting hurt in game 3. This isn't even a setback for that award.
  18. I feel bad for Quinn. He's been so good for this program and I was really hoping he'd win the Heisman. Here's to a speedy recovery.
  19. Quinn was good last year but he lost 2 games and missed 2 others. Colt lost 2 games as a starter combined between 08 and 09 and in one of those didn't even play a full quarter. A point in Quinns favor is that he was just a rs soph last season. A point in Colt's favor is that I feel like the coaching staff and roster that Quinn has this year is unlike anything Colt ever had. They're going to have very different legacies regardless of what Quinn accomplishes this season. Career wins and stats wise Colt is basically untouchable - and no one holds it against him for not winning a Heisman or national title. He also went 3-1 against the land thieves. But - you only get so much credit for "shouldas". A title or Heisman or both for Quinn would be a very material 1upping of Colt that he should get credit for.
  20. Good point, but it did seem a bit of an unknown 12 months ago. At any rate, expecting Quinn to (a) win a Heisman AND (b) win the national title in his 3rd year to just equal Colt's work in 4 years seems a stretch. (And I'm a huge fan of Colt McCoy.)
  21. I'm not sure how you see it that way. Colt took over a loaded roster in 2006, and the team was pretty salty by 2008/2009. Ewers took over a less salty roster and got to them to the final four teams in his second year. I'm not sure why you would demand an actual title and the Heisman to place him above Colt when Colt achieved neither. I'd say if Quinn gets Texas to the title game then he gets the nod, regardless of Heisman results.
  22. ...and there are Heisman's and then there are Heisman's. I don't see the Danny Wuerful's, Gino Torretta's, and Jason White's proudly on display.
  23. Not to mention for the past decade or so we see the Dr. Pepper commercials all over college football with past Heisman winners, lately many of them wearing OU and Alabama jerseys, it seems. It's nice publicity to have for your program. And yeah, of course I'd take a title over a Heisman any year (not like it's ever an either/or choice; see, e.g., 2004 USC). But it's still the functional equivalent of a great team achievement award.
  24. I'm surprised to see how many people are ambivalent about the Heisman, even while acknowledging it's a good thing to win one. Personally, I'd be thrilled to see another one brought to Austin. It's a major achievement for a player and looks awesome in a trophy case. It should be a source of pride for any program. Not to mention the help with recruiting and everything else that's already been said. Obviously not as good as winning a National Championship, but I don't think personal awards and championships are really comparable in terms of what they mean to a program. The Heisman is still the "national championship" of personal awards, however, even if the award has been watered down a bit over the last 20 years.
  25. If Ewers wins the Heisman and leads UT to a national championship, there’s an argument. Until then, it’s Colt > Ewers, as far as achievement/impact at UT. I think Ewers is already ahead of Colt from a talent and ceiling as a pro perspective. But those are two pretty different things.
