QB1 Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet

[wood 11230]

I've said it before, but the more I see Quinn play, the more impressed I am with his overal chill, calm, "Let's go to work" demeanor no matter what the situation is. The guy seems just totally unflappable, and imho is just going to get better and better. Phenomenal presence and poise for a RS Freshman ... in his first TX-ou game ... with just 5 quarters under his belt coming into the game.

[Lhorn 4929]

Both guys had a hold of each other and were wrestling and they thought our guy needed to be flagged.  Dumbasses

Can someone post a gif of the crazy spin and pass move 

The 360 no scope? 

[Braff Zacklin 13636]

Never seen that hat actually fit anyone ... until Sark tried it on.

[Rickylovesweed 14533]

The offensive line did work today but Sark also embarrassed OU's coaching staff. 

All the motion completely confused OU's defensive staff. Which isn't surprising as they have a G5 level defensive staff.

Can’t remember which TD pass it was… but when the camera cut back to Ewers after the pass and he had already walked over to the sideline like he knew it was good as soon as he let it go. He is gonna be a good one.

He likes him some Quinn, and after checking out his tweets, it looks like he loves some F1, too. Practically tweeting a play-by-play about tonight's Suzuka race.

Like a G. He did it multiple times. Glorious to watch

[Hiphopopotamos 20876]

That son of a bitch has played 9 quarters of college football. 9 quarters!

He’s going to be so fucking good it’s ridiculous.  

[semitired 82]

Quinn looks like someone from Lake Worth, not Southlake. Sure doesn't play like that, thank God!

[gmr548 16590]

He was a little rusty.  That’s what Rusty Mullet looks like.  I am looking forward to the next 1.5 seasons after he shakes it off.

That’s what the crazy part was. There are plenty of plays where he was a little off or missed open guys… and he still put up what he did.

That’s the best part for us / most terrifying for future opponents. Dude is lights out after playing 9 quarters of ball and showed no rust after 3.5 games off. 

He’s only going to get better and better every week with more game reps

Early on in the game when Banks just drive blocked that sooner through the whistle into the end zone and all the sooner fans were pissed I knew this line came to beat mofos down

I posted in the OL thread, but anybody have the clip/gif of this?  Remember it, just want to see it again.

In ou type situations, when there are no coaches worth big money available, wouldn’t it be better to just take flyers in someone that will take cheap deals you can walk away from when somebody better comes, rather than giving a costly deal to a scrub?

yep, he almost threw an INT to start the game, didn't faze him and when he threw the what the fuck was that INT, still didn't faze him.

QE finished the game 21 of 31 for 289, 4 TDs and a pick, a league rating of 123.52

rough math using the espn pbp to back out 3rd quarter:

first drive (ended in the pick): 2 incomplete

second drive (ended in bijan td): 3 completions (9+32+15 = -56)

third drive (ended in sanders td): 1 incomplete, 2 completions (including the TD, which was QE's last throw of the game with 1:57 to go in the 3rd) (4+18 = -22)

2nd half: completions -5, incompletes -3, TDs -1, yards -78, picks -1

so his first half numbers were 16 of 23 for 211 & 3 TDs which is a league rating of 137.86 in his 6th and 7th quarters at this level

[Hagbard Celine 10897]

i didn't count the pick as an attempt

revised 1st half line (with 2nd half backed out):

16 of 24 for 211 & 3 = 133.85

this is still fucking incredible for a freshman - remember maximum rating is 158.3

[Hagbard Celine 10897]

at the moment we went 21-0 QE was 14 of 16 for 178 & 2

 

152.6

[Coach pop a bitch 5487]

The man knows his mismatches and who his weapons are

 

[kingkoopa6 8376]

Even I laughed off that int. I was like Fuck it. Shrug it off kid. Shit happens. 
 

We been fukin these bitches all day. Throw them a bone and hope. Haha. Then we took that shit right back. And got 7

[South Austin 52523]

Watched the highlights again. Colt is the last QB we had that has that kind of calm presence. Ewers makes it seem effortless.

Yeah, Ewers is Colt McCoy with a NFL arm.

JT Sanders, through 6 games, is third in Texas history for TD's in a single season among TE's.  Behind Pat Fitzgerald with 8 (1995) and David Thomas 6 (1998).

[South Austin 52523]

JT Sanders is looking like a Jermichael Finley with an offensive coordinator who knows how to use him.

[Jersey Man10 3538]

I think Sark said jokingly to Ewers that that was the worst out of bounds throw he’s ever seen lol

[crash_davis 23114]

RBs are the biggest benefactors of having Ewers. Teams can't load the box. Bijan loves him some Ewers.

[Vic Mackey 47093]

I admit I had some doubts as how crisp he would be when he sat out his senior year at Southlake, then sits a year at Ohio St. Dude is a fucking baller and a badass. Fucking sucks he got hurt against Bama because that would have been an ass whipping (or a win at least) and we for sure beat Tech with him. Just finish this season strong and come out with momentum next year. Maybe we can start to build what we had in the mid 2000s. One can only hope with how shitty we have been for 12 years.

Yep.  He was a little off on a lot of throws.  A little behind or a little high, which is to be expected after not taking live snaps for a month and playing in that atmosphere for the first time.  What you saw yesterday is his floor. I am looking forward to seeing his ceiling.

[Braff Zacklin 13636]

MulletMan makes it look so easy. Couple of clips here; second one is the dime he drops to JT in the second quarter.

 

[Irish Wrist Watch 1394]

Play of the day: Time running out in the first half (30 seconds or so left). Ewers drops the ball right into the arms of Sanders surrounded by 3 OU defenders. 30+ yard TD. We haven't seen shit like that for years. This guy is a star.

His whole aspect is just... yup, everyone's covered, guns throw a bullet to my fifth read. Whatever. Gimme another pinch of that chaw. All right, 3rd and long, looks like JT's open, boom. Kinda hot day today. Hmm, pressure coming, ok, gonna leg it here. I think I'll need to turn that turkey marinating in the fridge. X is "open" if I can thread a needle between 3 defenders... yep, I can. Hand me that case of Lite beer, will ya? 

He plays QB like he's chillin at his backyard BBQ.

Sort of reminds me of the story from one of the 49ers lineman about the 1989 Super Bowl versus the Bengals. They’re in the huddle with 90 yards from the end zone and a few minutes left to play, and Montana looks at the crowd and says, “Hey, there’s John Candy.” He goes on to lead his team on one of the more epic come-from-behind drives to win the championship.

Or maybe VY’s “I got this, Coach”.

Remember when he de-committed because Tom was talking shit about him.  Tom, you dumbfuck…

Imagine if he didn’t and was here for Sark in 2021 (if he had the NIL money from us to go into college early)

Yep. I was telling my kid at the game that he already has the mental aspect nailed. When he develops more consistent touch and accuracy, he's gonna be one helluva headache for the D.
