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

That’s my thinking and if you surround him with the offensive weapons we have there are worse backup situations to be found. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that and Maalik is the real deal and Arch can continue on the planned development timeline.

So, Ewers didn’t get hurt running downfield and trying to run over a linebacker (who had to be helped off the field), but got hurt from being sacked.  He wasn’t sacked at all against Bama, but some terrible Houston Cougar player….. this ain’t right.

If QE is going to miss multiple games, how much value is there to keep Arch’s redshirt? If he’s a bad ass, he won’t be here for a RS-SR 5th year anyway. If he is a disappointment, would he be playing at UT in his 5th year? This isn’t the 1960s-early 2000s. If they are studs, they will be gone after their 3rd year in college (not necessarily 3rd season), or at latest after their 4th year. 

it’s the manning family’s call to burn his redshirt, not ut’s

How is Maalik the least athletic of that stable of talent?

Malik looks strong as an ox, if not fast. Who is the little dude strategically placed next to him?

When Malik was put in the game, I wondered who was the little RB we put in the backfield with him. It was Baxter.

You are correct. That is the paradox of recruiting a kid with his connections. You’re basing everything off of his family experience and his potential. There are no guarantees.

He can play in up to 4 games before the redshirt is burned.  If I were the coach I would hold him out until at least the Tech game - Game 12.  That would allow him to be available for the Tech game, a Big12 championship game, a playoff game, and a national championship game - if they get that far.

I mean it depends on what he wants or thinks will happen based on his abilities vs what people around him are telling him. Today, to me, he’s a second round pick. He’s been injured three times in his career. He still is raw in many ways and needs to decide if he wants to develop more here (which btw now you can earn some quick cash faster) or go to the NFL and perhaps not pan out. 
 

One thing I like about Ewers the more I see him is grit. I don’t see that in Caleb from the standpoint that he’s not all drama on the sidelines. He’s got something undefinable to me which makes for a good to possibly great player if he keeps working at it. The criticism I had of him was moving too fast from HS trying to get big bucks. I understand the desire but the QB position is a nuanced one and there are teams that will bite (nearly half of them need a good QB) but why wouldn’t you want to continue to develop? His injuries are an issue since his junior year. I just don’t see teams rushing for him due to his size and lack of college playing time. I could very well be wrong but he’s not ready yet. (Nothing to do with I want him to stay because it helps us—I’m thinking like if he wants a career and not just guaranteed money.) he’s not ready

Malik will look solid vs BYU then struggle vs KSU then grind out the win vs TCU before Quinn comes back for the stretch. It is the nature of these things.

 

 

[perfectchaos007 6766]

In all 7 games Ewers has started, Texas has scored between 30 and 40 points every game. Consistency is generally good, but considering the wide gap in opponent strength, we should have been able to put up more than 40 points in a few of those games. It will be interesting to see if Maalik will continue with the trend, or if Texas will finish a game outside our 30-40 point range we've been in all season long.

[Reese Bennett 3647]

The thing you have to love about Maalik is how much touch he puts on his throws. 

(Given our schedule, I think he'll do fine--but I'll also bet that there's a ricochet that ends up being an interception at some point.)

Reading this thread I can’t tell if Ewers being hurt is a good or bad thing. Cuz idiots.

 

It’s a good thing we’re bowl eligible already because the drop off to Murphy is going to be massive.

  It doesn't mean he isn't hurt. It means he may not be as hurt as we think. They pulled him because he wasn't right. But then you put him in a sling and trot him out for the world to see. You are very vague about the injury and the reporters run wild. Opponent starts planning for the backup and then QE ends up starting. The same way we found out just a couple minutes before the game that we were facing the backup qb a few weeks in a row. They knew well beforehand.

Exactly what I thought. There was a sack where he got popped pretty good. He kept playing after that. Hope he comes back pretty quick. Kid has been playing solid.

[Thatguy 9286]

  For those bitching about Ewers checking down. This is what Ewers was seeing in long yardage situations. Outside of the pass rush, UH doesn't have anyone inside the sticks. They are leaving the RB open. Our guys need to learn to turn and get north and south in a hurry. No excuse not be able to gain a yard here.

I think we need to adjust our RB release path. Noticed on the goalline too. Brooks runs more horizontal than vertical. No reason for Baxter to have his back to the defense running more horizontal than vertical here. If the LBs get good drops and your pass catchers are running deep, that middle should have space. Not sure how you adjust that however.

I agree whole heartedly. The release path also give your QB a two way go if you release in the middle. Eyes drop to the RB someone is open behind them. 

 My biggest issue is how it was 3rd and long in the first place. The fact that we couldn't run is the real issue here.

Our run game was actually solid despite neither back breaking a big one. 6 penalties were drive killers as opposed to just one penalty against UH
