I'd rather have Maalik than the injured version of Quinn that showed up against OkSt last year.  If he plays, he better be healthy.

One of the worst takes that gets parroted about on this site is that Sark should have benched Quinn in the Ok St game last year for this guy:

Yeah, no thanks to that, ever.

Considering what he did after being out for 3-3/4 weeks last year, I'm not too concerned with rust.

[mdleast 8,295]

PLEASE tell me they are working with Quinn on his sliding technique (being any slide and not knocking into defenders).

Ricky Henderson has been hired as a special assistant specifically for this purpose.

SRS at CFB Reference:

 

don't think SRS excludes garbage time, which is why i like FEI and SP+ more.

edit: oops they do some calculations on max MOV so that is at least something from that standpoint.

Quote

College Football SRS: Our CFB SRS does not contain a home-field advantage element, but it does have some other quirks. Most importantly, we have capped the margin of victory considered for the formula. Due to the number of mismatches seen in college football, the maximum point differential a team can be credited with in a game is 24. We also credit all wins as a minimum of plus-7 margin of victory (so if you win by 1 point, it's treated the same as a 7-point win). The same logic is applied to losses, as well. One other wrinkle for CFB is that all non-major opponents are included as one team for the sake of the ratings.

We don't do 'garbage time' at Texas.

After seeing what TCU did to Gabriel last year when he slid, I think I'd prefer Quinn to just not run this week unless the game is closer than it should be in the 4th. It'll be interesting to see who comes off the bench first if the game is a blowout. Since MM has had plenty of gametime experience do we get to see Arch?

[Newdoc 3,440]

The grades of sprain in this injury are related to how much separation of the soft tissue occurs at the joint. Usually you can see this damage on MRI but a arm weighted xray can show the relative soft tissue damage from normal vs abnormal gaps between bones. 
 

I don’t like the grading system as grades 1 and 2 encompass everything short of a complete tear. But for his return this fast, I would assume he had a higher grade 1 and not a true grade 2 sprain or he was visited by Jesus in order to heal this quickly.

Grade 1: 1-3 weeks
Grade 2 : 2-4 weeks
Grade 3: 4-6 weeks

 

Depends on severity....seems like Quinn had grade 1 if he was already throwing the ball last week. So long as the pain doesn't encumber him he's good to go and should be about 85-90%

 

Credentials:

 

I played center and had a similar injury - was ready to go after two weeks. QB's throwing shoulder is next level but it can certainly be done. I'd love to be a fly on the wall with the medical team and hear how close to 100% Ewers is, and especially what his re-injury risk is.

Honestly, and I know this is a hot take given ISU merc'ed TCU, but I think the latter is a more dangerous team to Texas. All you need to beat ISU if you're Texas is 21-24 points. It is easy to see TCU's offense running up the snap count and throwing it all over the field on Texas if the offense has a rough game, which was my concern thinking Murphy would be the guy. Less concerned with Ewers, knock on wood.

Here are Sark's exact comments(timestamped). Sounds like he's throwing like normal.

I mean it's not like Sark is going to come out and say "Well if he gets hit once we're back to square one and if y'all thought his deep ball sucked before you just wait; oh and I'm pretty sure he went back to Chick Fil A during his time off... but sheeeeit, y'all saw the INTs Maalik has been throwing, I don't have a choice lolz"

Can confirm. 

Ewers will have to throw the ball away instead of scrambling, but this isn't the Tom Herman hero QB offense. 

Maalik still gets to play when it's 45-3 at the end of the 3rd Q. 

[nbmishoid 949]

It may appear as as a risk they believe must be taken.  I hope it is not outside the symptoms. Meaning, going too soon.

It's interesting because he says he can make all the throws and his arm got stronger as the week went on. The details from practice are key.

Again, Sark is not going to come out and say "lol he can't execute concepts more than 15 yards past the LOS right now but he has been really good at avoiding purple jerseys in practice" even if that's the case. We'll know soon enough, I'm just curious if this it's Ewers healing quickly or if they felt like they *had* to pull the trigger because of Murphy's ball security issues. Maybe a bit of both.

No reason to believe it's rushed considering how long they held him out last year. His dad isn't going to let them do anything that may jeopardize his NFL draft status.

If you actually listened you would know it was a decision from Quinn, his family, the doctors.....You think Quinn's dad would allow him to come back sooner than he should and risk hurting his future more?

It would be amazing if MM gets to come in and throw a few passes. At some point we're going to need him (and his mind right). Nobody talks about the mental part, but these are kids who need to learn how to get back up again.

Sliding can have unforeseen consequences too.

It’s very obvious the family and their personal doctor was okay. Yes he wants to win, but not at the expense of his NFL future

Less likely to be concussed diving. QBs often wait too long to slide therefore getting destroyed., (ask Dillon Gabriel, if he remembers) That rarely happens diving or just protecting yourself going down. Sliding just makes you a easier target IMHO.

There is a substantial chance MM never has another meaningful snap in a Texas uniform, if Quinn stays healthy the next two months.

Yup, if Quinn stays strong (and we still can't put anyone away) and Arch steps up next year, he'll have to get back on the horse somewhere else.

Agree

Honesty I wish they’d get rid of the sliding rule. It’s unfair to the defender while also creating a larger risk of injury to the QB

It makes no sense

This makes me unreasonably happy.

How does sliding, and indicating to the defender to back the fuck off, a bigger injury risk to the qb than just getting drilled by some linebacker or headhunting safety?

I would settle for not asking Sanders to block TCU's best pass rusher 1 on 1. Sark did that vs Houston and that is how Ewers got injured
