Depends on what you think "plays the best" means. Quinn will likely throw more interceptions than Card would because he takes more risks with the ball, probably tries to fit it into tighter windows etc. But the spectacular plays he is regularly capable of making still gives us the best chance to win. 

Does throwing less interceptions mean Card plays "better", but Ewers high risk/reward gives us a better chance to win? Maybe. Maybe not. I don't know shit about fuck.

I thought Quinn would throw more INT's that Card because Card has a tendency to eat the ball rather than throw it....

Idgaf who plays.

Card needs to prove that he can handle pressure and not self-sack before the conversation around his willingness to take risks even matter. I hope that he developed that poise during the off-season but we won’t know until we see him out there. I have a feeling both QBs are going to play early season no matter what.

Quinn will definitely throw more interceptions than Card because Quinn will be playing.

Forgot about retired numbers

The Longhorns have retired a total of six numbers in their football programs history. There have been other great players that have graced the Forty Acres, but did not have the impact that these six had.

Let’s take a look at who the Texas football program has immortalized:

Tommy Nobis: #60

Linebacker/Guard

Jersey retired: Sept. 13, 2008

Bobby Layne: #22

Quarterback

Jersey retired: Sept. 13, 2008

Ricky Williams: #34

Stephen Dunn /Allsport

Running back

Jersey retired: Sept. 30, 2000

Earl Campbell: #20

Running back

Jersey retired: Nov. 24, 1979

Vince Young: #10

Quarterback

Jersey retired: August 30, 2008

Colt McCoy: #12

Quarterback

Jersey retired: Oct. 30, 2010

[Nivek 16,887]

Isn't Nobis' number only mostly retired?  

[Tylerocks 2,552]

Yeah, it still gets worn on special occasions (I think)

I know DJ wore it once, maybe his last home game?

Breckyn Hager wore it 2x.  Once in the Texas bowl a couple weeks after Tommy passed away and then again the next year for OU.

 

Not sure how/who unretires it for single game use.  Del Conte make the call?  The former player or family of the former player(deceased)

 

I honestly didn't remember 22 being retired.  Oops, sorry Bobby.

Bobby Layne was great, but hardly jersey-retiring worthy. I mean retiring numbers in college is usually dumb anyway but come on.

Bobby Layne?

...you mean the guy who graduated from Texas in 47, was the record holder for the program for most career pass completions for almost 40 years, passing yards for 40 years, lowest interception rate until the 80s, most QB wins in a career until VY passed him in 2005, held the record for most TDs in a game until passed by Ricky in 97, most career TD passes, most points scored in a game. he was the first ever number retired

he has to have what is a record of being elected into the state halls of fame for 3 states (Texas, Penn, Michigan.) ranked #52 in Sporting News 1999 list of 100 greatest players ever.

oh yeah and he was a hell of a baseball player too, to put it mildly.

come on, man.

[Helobious 9,503]

That’s a lot of words to say he doesn’t hold many records anymore and hasn’t for quite some time. 
 

*Glancing the UT records now, he’s actually not even top ten in any offensive category anymore from what I see. Game, season, or career.

Tebow has almost all of Florida’s offensive records, a heisman, and 2 titles. They still use his number. Layne has none of those things.

his last year playing CFB was 1947. of course he isn't leading most categories anymore!

https://texassports.com/documents/2013/8/30/FB-individual-rushing-passing-receiving.pdf?id=2412

notice anything different about the years he played vs the rest of those on the list ahead of him?

he is *still* #3 on all time QB victories in his career even though he played 60 years ago.

you may not think he deserves to have his number retired but you are clearly looking through a more recent lens than an all time lens. do you think Tommy Nobis isn't good because his name isn't all over the (current) Texas defensive records?

Florida literally has zero retired numbers. They used to have two, then un-retired them in the 90s.

Awful lot of “surpassed by” there. But shit all those Cotton Bowl records, we should rename the school after him. 
 

All I’m saying is Florida does it right by not retiring jerseys. Why not give someone else a chance to see if they can do better. There’s other ways to honor great players is all I’m saying.

I was gonna say that you need to quit acting like an asshole, but that would be wrong. You're not acting, you are an asshole.

It seems likely that you will never stop being an asshole, and as a result I am placing you on Double Secret Permanent Asshole Denial.

We retire numbers so that people in future will have to reflect on what a badass someone was. Bobby Layne was the ultimate badass, a hero to a whole generation, not just for his exploits on the field, but for his exploits off the field. He was worshipped, adored and saluted wherever he went, South and North. Everybody's All-American with Denis Quaid was based on his life. People with no concept of history, like Helobious, are exactly why you retire numbers.

It’s just stupid. Bobby Layne played QB in the 40s. You don’t have to be particularly astute to realize the game has changed and there isn’t a QB from the 40s anywhere that put up record setting numbers compared to modern QBs
