I know this is gonna be hard for you to digest, but just because one or two posters say something doesn't mean the majority of us agree with it.

the “he’s a longhorn legend” post got 8 positive reactions and nobody besides me has disagreed with that guy. beyond that there’s such a thing as tacit endorsement, and this thread is full of it. when people keep talking about the heisman and the nfl and nobody but me cares to disagree, i think it’s safe to say that the rest of this QE love fest thread is not in disagreement. but hey, keep being condescending about everything you say to me, it’s a really earnest way to approach people. 👌🏻

based on what? preseason expectations? donovan edwards averages 3.4 ypc, and corum has been demonstrably inferior to JB. you have lost your mind in the name of white knighting QE. these takes are indefensible. 

[Atticus 3,973]

If we're just looking at stats, then UCF would be better than all of them. I'd take Penn State's top 2 over ours from the eye test, but it's a dumb discussion that is completely subjective.

Set actual guidelines, then discuss from there. 

Derka/shadow_operative/Cartman, you claim to be making arguments, when in reality you're just making a series of value based judgements which are reflected by the quality of responses you get in return.

Shit is just going in circles down the drain over here.

Baxter has 200 more yards on only 11 more carries than Edwards and the same amount of TDs. You’re high.

Well room doesn’t imply just two. I’d be surprised if anyone else has a 4th/5th guy like Keilan, who has made big plays in non garbage time. Or a 4th/5th guy like Red that has run/thrown wildcat with some success. Blue has some skill. Baxter was a top recruit. And Brooks. They can run. They can catch. Some can block a bit.

No idea where they rank but that’s a good group.

Corum + Edwards:  1330 yards, 307 carries, 25 TD (4.33 ypc)

Brooks + Baxter:  1691 yards, 303 carries, 13 TD (5.58 ypc)

 

Yeah, I'm thinking our running backs are doing just fine against the Big 10 versions.

absolutely i will. the heisman thing i can see happening because it’s a bullshit award and we should be very very good next year, not to mention that Sark is going to get every ounce of production that he can out of QE. do i think QE will be one of the 3-4 best players in the country next year? no i do not. i hope he’s top 4 on his own team. as of today do i project him to have a successful career in the nfl? again, no i do not. not even a little bit. nfl QB is the hardest job in sports, and QE is so, so far removed from having mastered his own college position and craft that i do not see him having any sort of successful nfl career, barring major improvemt in the offseason/next year.

It’s a good group, but it’s not the best RB room in the country. There isn’t a guy to get you 3rd and 1 in the group (yet, eventually Baxter gets there). There is a reason Texas struggles in short yardage situations. Keilan and Blue are redundant. Baxter and Red need some time to bake. In Baxter’s case he may just need get healthy, which he hasn’t been all year.

So now one aspect of good running back play trumps all the others?  OK, I guess.  You didn't say that.  You said the Texas RBs would be 3/4 in the Big 10, when in fact they are statistically better in the basic metrics other than touchdowns.

We all know Texas is bad in the red zone.  There's another 80 yards to contend with, too.

im not setting myself up for anything dude, im giving it to you straight like i always do. you’re the one up in here twisting shit and making assumptions about things that haven’t even happened and in fact cannot even happen for another year. you’re the one who is dug in. 

for example, how would QE going highly in the draft go against anything that i’ve said? you quoted me talking about his performance in the nfl, not his draft stock. it’s you who is moving the goalposts dude. you’re moving them, and then getting mad at me for it. how do you not see that?

I watch too much live football to know who’s the best. There probably are a number of teams better in short yardage though. I think Red would be fine in wildcat if we’d run anywhere but left seemingly every time. I’d like to see Red in at RB with QE at QB. Baxter has been a little slow going.

Our strength is versatility and explosiveness in our depth.

Calmer than you are dude.
It’s a bad argument if you can’t call a guy who finishes in the top 5 as a Heisman and goes high in the draft after going something like 30-6 in games he starts and finishes as a starter a longhorn legend. Because that’s where Quinn is going to finish up. 
go read my Sark thread from last year. Or my Milroe comment from Tuscaloosa. And know that my Ewers comment is going to be as prophetic as that. 
he played fine as a basically true freshman. He’s playing really good as a sophomore this year. Same progression and he’s going to be awesome next year. Anyone expecting more out of him at this stage in his career was doing it wrong. 
I posted- something like 50 pages ago, all the numbers for true freshman QB’s that won a Heisman and they were uniformly garbage. Quinns were better than them all. I guess you can argue he wasn’t a true freshman but I’d say starting in August after camp was 2 weeks old at Ohio state and transferring to Texas and playing in his first year in the program made him closer to a true freshman than a redshirt freshman, but it would probably be fair to split the difference. 
regardless, there’s nothing surprising about him getting a ton better between last year and this year and there will be nothing surprising about him making a big leap next year. A big leap for him means we go 10-2- he wins hardware and he goes top 5 in the draft. And that’s all longhorn legend territory.

Red got into an ugly habit of cutting everything back out of the Wildcat. He been playing RB in college for 5 months. I don’t think there is a lot of versatility at this point. I do think Baxter will be the answer next year. Mostly because Texas hasn’t developed a power back. Blue and Keilan are explosive, but they are not great between the tackles. Baring the OL kicking the shit out of Tech.

Texas is #24 in D1 in rushing yards per game.  Penn State is #26, and they're the highest ranked Big 10 team.  Michigan is #52.

I'm not going to count, but those numbers are roughly true for yards per carry.

I don't think there is any evidence for strength of "running back rooms" that has been asserted.

That should be easily correctable on Red. That’s a negative on Sark. That was a generally effective set that we’ve seemingly thrown away. I don’t think he’s a full time RB but more situational. Baxter will probably be the best short yardage guy longer term.

It’s always an opinion. If I could trade rooms with PSU I would do it immediately, since both of those guys are back next year. I  don’t think Texas has a proven RB after Brooks went down and he has never made it through a season healthy.  PSU has Drew Allan at QB.. That is like tying a tire around a RB and asking him to run. Texas RBs don’t see a lot of stacked boxes like PSU does. DC don’t come in to play Texas focusing on stopping the run. Sarks own words “Texas throws to open up the run”. Texas is a pass first team. Michigan and PSU are the exact opposite.  PSU is very similar to what Texas was last year. 2 great RBs and a talented, but erratic QB.

I hate to see them put Red in and keep the damn qb in split out wide. You aren’t doing shit with him, because everyone knows he’s dinged up.

Man, you move the goalposts a lot.  Next year has nothing to do with this year.

Carry on, I guess.  This isn't the RB thread, anyway.

[Levi 2,585]

I think if Ewers were to be playing for an air raid team, his poor mechanics and inconsistencies reading the defense wouldn’t matter. Instead Sark runs a deeper playbook that utilizes more than simple reads and Ewers is having to actually learn how to be a complete quarterback. I’m not sure if Ewers will ever live up to his rating coming out of high school and that is fine imo. At least we are seeing him continually getting better even tho it may not be as fast as some would like. If he comes back next year, there’s no reason to think that he can’t turn the flashes we see this year into regulars in ‘24.

I think most reasonable people saw 10-2 as the apex. There were likely 4 toss up games - OU, Bama and two others. That actually proved true. In theory any talented Texas team has a ceiling of world domination.  With only a 6.25% chance to win 4 toss ups and 18.75% chance to win 3 out of 4 it’s clear to me Texas out performed. I’ll just leave it at that.
