2 turnovers in 89 pass attempts and who knows how many snaps. If anything he will hold the ball and take a sack

Jesus!....Card held the ball and took a sack so often I thought it must be a called play....

Yeah because bijan sucks and card is a noodle arm INT machine with small hands and the entire defense is a bunch of underweight and slow anemic players. The majority of this team is returning tal

Urgency and patience: Steve Sarkisian on naming a starter, recruiting top QBs

HOUSTON — When it comes to quarterbacks, there are some areas where Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian knows an expedited decision could be in his program’s best interest.

Speaking to gathered crowds on Wednesday at the Touchdown Club of Houston and at the final stop of the Texas Exes Texas Fight tour, Sarkisian knew he would be questioned plenty about the quarterback situation considering the ongoing battle between Hudson Card and Quinn Ewers.

As he typically does, he extolled both players for their work during the program’s recent 15 practices.

He mentioned Ewers could make every throw and is very coachable. He praised Card for improvement during his second year in Sarkisian’s offense and for his ability to move the ball down the field. Sarkisian even found a chance to compliment Maalik Murphy, who he mentioned will be healthy during summer workouts and going into fall camp.

But speaking about the top two, Card and Ewers, Sarkisian said he looked forward to overseeing a quarterback competition that would take place not just in preseason camp, but during summer workouts as well.

Beginning this summer, the NCAA will permit Sarkisian and his ten on-field assistant coaches to practice skill work with a football for two hours per week, totaling 16 hours during the course of the summer. Concerning Texas, those 16 hours have mostly been associated with preparing the offensive linemen in the 2022 class for game action during the fall.

In addition to the linemen gaining some reps, the quarterbacks will also reap the benefit of an extra two-thirds of a day of practice. Sarkisian will also have more data to work with when it comes time to name a starter.

When speaking to the Texas Exes crowd, Sarkisian was a little softer with his choice of words: “I know all of y’all want me to make the call sooner rather than later, but the reality of it is we’re going to make the call we feel is right for us and what’s best for our team. We’re going to play the guy that we think gives our team the best chance to be successful, not the guy we think is going to play the best. It’s about what’s best for our team to win games.”

When speaking to the Touchdown Club, he was a bit more direct.

“At some point, I got to make the call,” Sarkisian said. “I’m like you all, the sooner I can make that decision the better for everybody. The better for you so you’ve got crap to talk about while chopping it up, and better for us and for our team. We’ve got to behoove ourselves to make that happen.”

When it comes to quarterbacks, there are some areas where Sarkisian knows a patient approach could be in his program’s best interest.

Texas is in full pursuit of Five-Star Plus+ quarterback Arch Manning out of New Orleans (La.) Isidore Newman.

Manning, the No. 1 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus, remains uncommitted. Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Florida are schools he recently named as in contention with the Longhorns for his services. Manning also mentioned he could commit at any time — before the season, during the season, or after the season.

While Sarkisian couldn’t talk about Manning specifically, his words at the Touchdown Club on Wednesday indicated the lengths he’s willing to go through to sign a signal-caller from football’s first family.

“If I didn’t feel good about a situation, I would go in another direction,” Sarkisian said. “I feel pretty good about our track record. I could probably get a quarterback committed today, but ideally I’d like to recruit the best guys. That’s how you build your roster, so we’re going to stay the course.”

Some situations require a good amount of urgency, while others necessitate patience. Sarkisian will have to balance the need for both over the course of the summer when it comes to what he calls the most important position in sports.

Have to get better on passes down the field

Excerpt from Athletic article: 

Key stat to know: Attacking teams vertically is an important part of Sarkisian’s offense (28.1 percent of the Longhorns’ pass attempts traveled 15 or more yards in the air, the 19th-highest rate in the nation, according to Pro Football Focus), but Texas was one of the nation’s worst teams in connecting on deep balls in 2021.

Texas’ 35.7 percent completion rate of attempts that traveled at least 15 yards downfield ranked 105th in the FBS. Its passer rating (145.9, 106th) and yards per attempt (10, 101st) on such throws also ranked outside the top 100 nationally.

I got to hang w Quinn Ewers and DeMarion Overshown last week for their NIL gig. Both are super low-key, cool guys, and Quinn's pretty funny. Quinn Ewers seems like a guy who is just fun having in life.

I made him throw me a pass, lol, to go along with my Casey Thompson pass. When he was throwing to DeMarvion, (see below) you could see he has perfect form. He whips the ball lighting-fast over his head and it rockets out of his hand. He will be hard to sack cause his release is so quick. I know he sometimes slings it sidearm, but every pass he threw that I saw was totally overhead.

Hot take: he will be in the portal before end of the season. 

Would suck, but that would also imply we have a solid starter.

I'm hoping we can hide him for a couple years.

Seems like there were some who thought once we got rid of Sam we’d be masters at this downfield game.

Sam wasn't a very good deep ball thrower, so it would've been plausible to improve there, but Casey has a noodle arm and Card apparently only has short to intermediate accuracy. Quinn is an elite deep ball thrower, so this should hopefully be the year we finally hit more deep shots.

It was more the mere certainty that we’d be better in which I find some humor. The receivers bear some of the responsibility too for the last several years. Worthy was helpful last year, but the crew overall should be better down the field this year. Just imagine how crappy we would have been without Worthy.

Agreed. Quinn can throw the deep ball, Card can't. Casey could, but it wasn't always on target.

Maalik's answer on QBs he compares to:  Josh Allen or Justin Herbert

I would pay good money to watch our scrimmages during the one offseason that we have Maalik, Ewers, and Arch on campus.
