I mean, minus playing at a Heisman caliber at Bama, at Michigan and in the RRS for 49-0.

Michigan fucking sucks this year.

49-0 OU was not a big game, OU fucking sucked

 

He started like shit vs Washington, started like shit vs OU this year, started like shit vs Georgia.

Derka wasn't right about shit. Quinn is just a pussy, he could have carved Georgia up but instead opted to be a fucking pussy and have a bunch of mental issues instead of physical issues or restricted ability based on coverage or real collapse of pocket. 

His problem was 100% @ mental one and it made for an embarrassing loss in front of the largest crowd at DKR ever and in front of everyone watching the prime time top 5 matchup on TV. He shit down his leg on the biggest stage. 

The problem isn't that he can't throw or can't X Y Z the problem is he couldn't do shit because he was playing like a scared little bitch. 

You’re not taking this well are you?

This is probably the closest thing to correct. Also, this is how you rant. Good stuff.

[Atticus 3973]

I’ve rewatched it twice now and even went through the Georgia homer’s film review because apparently I’m a glutton for punishment.

It isn’t kind to Quinn at all. I hope he shows who he’s gonna be for the rest of the year against Vandy because this Jekyll and Hyde shit from him will get us beat again.

I have. More than I’d like to admit. Watched almost 3 hours of the film guys breakdown even with his UGA slanted breakdown. Quinn left a lot of plays on the field. Idk if he’s still hurt or just in his head but he’s definitely playing tentatively. And if we can see it you know damn well his teammates can. And IMO the OL is catching way too much shit in the public sphere for a “shitty” performance. Although the right side of the OL did get beaten too often. Hopefully Quinn has owned his performance in the locker room, especially to the defense and Kelvin Banks.

The saga of Quinn Ewers: Putting one of the most unique careers in college football history in context

Quinn Ewers has already had one of the most impactful and eventful careers in college football history. As that career hits its final chapter, everything is on the table both for he and the head coach who's been so faithfully loyal to him.

Quote

Our story begins sometime in 2006 in Pleasanton, Texas, south of San Antonio. Writing for Garden & Gun, Monte Burke tells a story of a dad taking his son to the high school field where they happen upon another father and son engaging in the same pastime. The other boy, obviously young, is "slinging perfect spirals" at 15 yards out. "It was ridiculous," he said. As the other dad asked Curtis Ewers how old his son was, Ewers replied, "Three."

Now, as a dad who coached both of my boys when they were early in elementary school, allow me to state definitively as an expert on the topic: a 6-year-old throwing a tight spiral at 15 yards is above average. To do it at three is absolutely ridiculous, the relative equivalent of a 16-year-old chunking the pigskin past 70 yards.

This is the story of Quinn Ewers, a kid who was born to throw the football, anointed a prodigy at an early age, broke and made two Texas Longhorns coaches before ever stepping on campus, was an early poster child of college football's NIL era, piloted a dormant blue-blood back to No. 1 in the country, and now stands at a cross-roads. No matter what happens from here, Ewers has a legacy unlike any college football player to come before him, and one unlikely to be repeated by any player to come after. And with half of his final season still to go, Ewers's final chapter could go in a number of different directions.

Oct. 4, 2019: In a game that featured close to two dozen future FBS players on both sides, a sophomore Quinn Ewers outshines them all. Denton Guyer, an eventual 6A Division II state finalist, jumped out to a 14-0 lead, but Ewers accounted for 448 yards and six touchdowns, including a 70-yard scoring dash to clinch it, in a 46-34 Southlake Carroll win. Ewers was already generating buzz in his first season as a starting quarterback, but this was his coming out party.

Nov. 22, 2019: Writing for 247Sports, national scouting analyst Gabe Brooks notes Ewers is "(e)lite QB among nation's top 2022 prospects, regardless of position. Projects to high-major level with long-term early-round NFL Draft ceiling."

Aug. 14, 2020: Ewers commits to Texas.

Oct. 28, 2020: Ewers de-commits from Texas. Though the move would not come for two more months, the Tom Herman era in Austin ended the moment Ewers hit 'publish' on his de-commitment tweet. Texas had started the year in the AP top-10, but sat at 3-2 and out of the AP Top 25 at the time. Coaches can't survive if they can't recruit, and the most important recruit on the board cast a vote of no confidence in the Herman regime.

Nov. 19, 2020: Ewers commits to Ohio State.

Dec. 9, 2020: Ewers becomes the sixth player, and first quarterback since Vince Young 19 years prior, to garner a perfect 1.0000 rating in the 247Sports composite.

Jan. 16, 2021: After returning from a hernia injury that kept him out of multiple games in mid-season, Ewers leads Southlake Carroll back to the 6A Division I state championship game, to date the program's only title game appearance after reaching six championship games from 2002-11. In one of the biggest games in the national history of high school football, he throws for 351 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions as son Riley Dodge's Carroll Dragons lost to father Todd Dodge's Austin Westlake squad, 52-34. Though no one knew so at the time, it would be Ewers's final high school football game.

Aug. 2, 2021: Ewers re-classifies from 2022 to 2021 to leave Southlake Carroll and enroll immediately at Ohio State in order to capitalize on NIL deals reportedly worth millions of dollars. He is rated the No. 1 player in the class of 2021. 

Nov. 20, 2021: Ewers plays in his first and only game as a Buckeye, handing the ball off twice in the waning moments of No. 4 Ohio State's 56-7 demolition of No. 7 Michigan State.

Dec. 3, 2021: Ewers enters the transfer portal.

Dec. 12, 2021: Tough Texas Tech gave an honest and spirited pursuit, Ewers commits to Texas for a second time. The day before, 5-star recruit Kelvin Banks committed to Texas, and 4-star offensive tackle Cameron Williams pledged to UT hours before Ewers. Those three commitments were pivotal votes of confidence in Steve Sarkisian following his 5-7 debut season.

June 23, 2022: Arch Manning commits to Texas. 

Sept. 10, 2022: Ewers completes 9-of-12 passes for 134 yards versus No. 1 Alabama before leaving the game in the first quarter with a shoulder injury. Would Ewers have torched the Tide for 400 yards and four touchdowns in a stunning upset, or would Alabama have caught up to him as the game wore on? As if penned by an HBO writing team, the phenom shows just enough to allow for both possibilities.

Oct. 8, 2022: Ewers returns after missing three and three-quarters games to complete 21-of-31 passes for 289 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in a 49-0 evisceration of Oklahoma.

Oct. 22, 2022: Ewers completes 19-of-49 passes for 319 yards and two touchdowns with three interceptions in a 41-34 loss at Oklahoma State.

Nov. 12, 2022: Ewers completes 17-of-39 throws for 171 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in a 17-10 loss to No. 2 TCU. After the game, Sarkisian said he never considered pulling Ewers for backup Hudson Card. "It's easy to point at one guy, but that wasn't the case. We didn't play good offensive football."

Feb. 9, 2023: In the biggest layup branding move imaginable, Ewers appears publicly for the first time through Xavier Worthy's Instagram story without his trademark blonde mullet. "I knew something had to change," he would later say. "So I started with the hair and decided to chop it off. And then drop weight and kind of get in better shape. Get more so I could take hits better and what not, just get more comfortable."

Sept. 9, 2023: Ewers completes 24-of-38 passes for 349 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in a 34-24 win at No. 3 Alabama. 

Oct. 7, 2023: In perhaps the Most Quinn Ewers Game Ever, Ewers commits three turnovers and also sets a school record with 19 consecutive completions while going 31-of-37 for 346 yards in a 34-30 loss to No. 12 Oklahoma. Trailing 27-17 at one point in the second half, Texas led 30-27 before Oklahoma's final drive.

Oct. 21, 2023: Ewers exits Texas's game at Houston in the third quarter with a shoulder injury. In a game the Longhorns led 21-0 in the second quarter, backup Maalik Murphy nurses home a 31-24 victory.

Nov. 11, 2023: Ewers returns from injury to complete 22-of-33 throws for 317 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a 29-26 win at TCU. In a game Texas led 26-6 at the half, Ewers connects with Adonai Mitchell for 35 yards on a 3rd-and-12 from the Texas 13 with 2:06 to play to ice the contest. 

Dec. 2, 2023: Ewers sets a Big 12 Championship record with 452 passing yards as No. 7 Texas sets a title-game record with 662 total yards in a 49-21 destruction of Oklahoma State, securing the program's first conference championship since 2009.

Dec. 3, 2023: Texas is selected for the College Football Playoff for the first time in the format's 10th year of existence.

Jan. 1, 2024: Third-seeded Texas falls 37-31 to No. 2 Washington in the Sugar Bowl. Ewers completes 24-of-43 passes for 318 yards and a touchdown in attempting to lead Texas back from a 34-21 fourth quarter deficit, but is unable to connect with Mitchell on two throws to the end zone on the game's final plays.

Jan. 11, 2024: As expected, Ewers announces he will return for a third season at Texas. 

April 20, 2024: Manning completes 19-of-25 throws for 355 yards and three touchdowns in the Orange-White spring game.

May 16, 2024: Along with Michigan's Donovan Edwards and Colorado's Travis Hunter, Ewers appears on the cover of College Football 25, more than three years after EA Sports announced it would revive the beloved video game series.

Sept. 7, 2024: Ewers completes 26-of-34 passes for 246 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in No. 3 Texas's 31-12 defeat of No. 3 Michigan, snapping the defending national champions' 23-game home winning streak. Ewers jumps from fourth to first in BetMGM's Heisman odds.

Sept. 14, 2024: After completing 14-of-16 throws for 185 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, Ewers leaves an eventual 56-7 win over UTSA with an abdominal injury.

Sept. 28, 2024: In his second start, Manning completes 26-of-31 passes for 325 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions to lead No. 1 Texas past Mississippi State, 35-13. To that point in the season, Manning has thrown 78 passes for 901 yards with nine touchdowns (plus three rushing) and two picks.

Oct. 12, 2024: Ewers returns to action to connect on 20-of-29 attempts for 199 yards with two total touchdowns and one pick in a 34-3 romp over No. 18 Oklahoma, making him the first UT quarterback since Colt McCoy to win the Golden Hat twice.

Oct. 17, 2024: When asked in a conference call with media two days before a visit from No. 5 Georgia what he would need to see to make an in-game switch at quarterback, Sarkisian curtly responds, "I'm not even going to answer that. I don't know what the question is. Next question." 

Oct. 19, 2024: After going scoreless with two turnovers and three 3-and-outs in his first six drives, Ewers is pulled for Manning a first half that would see Georgia take a 23-0 lead. Ewers played the entire second half in an eventual 30-15 loss, completing 25-of-43 passes for 211 yards with two touchdowns, two turnovers and five sacks. "I felt Quinn was a little uneasy. I felt like giving him a chance to step back and regroup. I didn't know if we would get a series or two with Arch (Manning), depending on how much time was on the clock. So, we just told Quinn, 'Hey, we are going to go with Arch here and give you a chance to go into the locker room to regroup and come back out the second half.' That's what we did. I felt like it was effective. He came out and played a much better second half," Sarkisian said afterward.

Oct. 22, 2024: Sarkisian reiterates that Ewers is Texas's starter. “We have confidence and belief in him. I think he’s going to come out and play really good football for us here in the second half of the season.” Hours later, a hacked post on 247's Instagram account stating Ewers would opt out of the remainder of the season spread like wildfire across the Internet. Ewers responded in a post on his Instagram story with a gif of Donald Trump saying, "Fake news."

And so that brings us to today. 

At 6:50 p.m. local time on Saturday, Texas was No. 1 in the country, playing before a record crowd of 105,215 and an audience of nearly 13 million at home with an opportunity to dethrone the SEC's King Kong, and doing so behind a battle-tested third-year starting quarterback who'd beaten Alabama, Michigan, and Oklahoma twice, all away from home. Everything Sarkisian and company had worked for was inches away from their grasp. 

Now, No. 5 Texas is mired among five 1-loss teams in SEC play, all of whom are looking up at 4-0 Texas A&M and 3-0 LSU. A squad that looked like the most complete team in the country couldn't run the ball, couldn't pass protect, and even when it did those things, its receivers couldn't get open and, even when they did, its quarterback(s) either didn't locate them or couldn't hit them.

Ewers has regressed since his return from injury. He's looked hesitant to climb the pocket and resistant to step into throws. He was PFF's lowest-graded starter against Oklahoma and Georgia. 

Gifted with a preternatural ability to throw the football, Ewers has too often played quarterback like a brilliant student who never bothered to learn good study habits and now finds himself drowning in course work at Harvard Law School. His footwork is often the first attribute to go when the terrain gets choppy. 

Perhaps this is when Ewers buckles down, plays his best football, and leads Texas to a national championship. That's on the table.

Or, if Ewers doesn't improve from his output over the next two weeks, Texas could lose at No. 25 Vanderbilt on Saturday and a dream season could devolve into a complete mess in eight days' time. Texas could end what oh-so-recently looked like a dream season in the Gator Bowl, and Ewers could slip from Round 1 to Day 3 of next spring's draft. That's also on the table. As is everything else in between. 

No player has done more for Sarkisian's coaching career than Ewers, from validating him by committing to quarterbacking those wins at Bryant-Denny, the Big House and the Cotton Bowl. Sarkisian has rewarded that faith with an unrelenting loyalty rarely seen in college football. But Sarkisian risks making Ewers bigger than the program if Ewers plays at Vanderbilt like he did versus Oklahoma and Georgia, and Manning's shadow looms large at a place where the ghosts of Major Applewhite and Chris Simms still haunt the corners of the fan base's psyche. 

Simply put, if Ewers doesn't play better, he puts Sarkisian in a lose-lose situation. And so he has to play better, starting with re-committing to mastering the basics of quarterback play, now and immediately.

A kid who looked like a quarterbacking prodigy from the first time he picked up a pigskin, a recruit so highly valued he toppled an entire coaching regime from his childhood bedroom, Ewers has brought Texas back -- word choice intentional -- to prominence. A conference championship, a No. 1 ranking, monumental wins at iconic venues, all of that happened under his watch. At the same time, this No. 1 recruit has seen his tenure overshadowed by another Quarterback Who Was Promised, one who happens to be the crown prince of the quarterback position's royal family no less. Ewers has deftly played off the Arch Manning hype, but at the same time he can't be deaf to the sound of the cheers when Arch steps on the field. 

As one of the most impactful and eventful careers in college football history enters its final chapter, everything is possible but one thing is certain: it'll be anything but boring.

Derka wasn't right about shit. Quinn is just a pussy, he could have carved Georgia up but instead opted to be a fucking pussy and have a bunch of mental issues instead of physical issues or restricted ability based on coverage or real collapse of pocket. 

His problem was 100% @ mental one and it made for an embarrassing loss in front of the largest crowd at DKR ever and in front of everyone watching the prime time top 5 matchup on TV. He shit down his leg on the biggest stage. 

The problem isn't that he can't throw or can't X Y Z the problem is he couldn't do shit because he was playing like a scared little bitch. 

Under no circumstances was Quinn or anyone else on our roster  "carving up" that Georgia defense we faced Saturday. The entire offense was dogshit at some point in the game. Sark was doing the same ole same ole that he did against everyone else this year. Problem is everyone else feared and respected our speed, Georgia didn't because they didn't have to, they just ran with it. We tried to beat Georgia on the edges with speed and failed miserably. The game plan and execution were both bad.

[Tx_2_Sc85 332]

Another performance like this and I don’t see how Sark can’t pull the trigger on Quinn. If he doesn’t I’m afraid he could lose the locker room.

I agree with this. Quinn was bad, but I dont think I would give a C grade to any position group (maybe outside of Helm). OL was not 7 sacks bad, but they were not good either. WRs had velco jerseys on for much of the game and Georgia DBs out-muscled them all game. RBs missed holes and blocks (forgot who it was, but Blue or Wisner got airborne in bad way trying to pass block). This was not a QB friendly environment.

Quinn has set a very high standard for himself by playing REALLY well in some big games. (Both Alabama games, Michigan, B12 Championship & 49-0)

He hasn't lived up to that standard over the last two games. Not close. You know it, Sark knows it, he knows it. Everyone fucking knows it.

The story isn't written on his career yet. No one will care about any of this if he wins the national championship this year.

I can totally understand being skeptical of his ability to bounce back from this, but Quinn seems like a good kid and I hope he gets his body & his head right and turns this thing around for us.

Let's fucking go Horns! Shake it the fuck off, we're still in this thing. 🤘

I have it on direct source good information that the one doing the majority of the locker room player led speaking is not a QB and not a skill player. 

If that doesn't tell you what you need to know regarding the locker room you should probably figure out something else to plug into because championship caliber or best tier caliber performance isn't what you are interested in. 

You know who doesn't take the reins and double or triple down after not performing up to their standard? A fucking pussy.

Both Bama games? The one he played a quarter in? A Michigan team that could be 6-6 or 7-5, Big 12 championship against a shitty OSU team, or 49-0 against a OU team that finished 6-7? 

 

His best game against a good team was last year at Bama.

I agree he played like a scared little bitch but at the same time, there wasn't much there either. I don't have the answer and I'm pretty sure the answer isn't any version of a player on this team unless Quinn steps up. That doesn't appear likely but he is still good enough to win every game left on the schedule. Quinn needs to shit or get off the pot.

[Derka 6136]

every single time we have a debate like this over one of our players i just ask myself rhetorically: “what would this board be saying about this player if he played for A&M?” and basically every single time i ask myself that, the answer is, “if this guy played for a&m this board would be absolutely crushing him and laughing at aggie fans for acting like he’s hot shit”. this is another one of those cases. if quinn played for the aggies this entire board would say that he’s sucks, that he’s overrated, that he plays sped up and nervous after every time he gets hit, and that he has played like shit in a bunch of big games, and has almost never been the driving force behind one of his team’s wins. but as always, because he wears burnt orange, we’re gonna have a whole different take on him, and just lie to ourselves about how great he is, because we crowned him when he was 16 and started flirting with us.

like i alluded to earlier, nobody has ever vehemently disagreed with me or snapped on me and gone nuts becuase i was overly optimistic about a texas team or player. people here love that shit. it’s simply that a shocking number of you can’t handle reality when it isn’t what you want it to be, so you create false narratives and lash out at anyone who points out the inconvenient truth. it’s pathetic. and talking a bunch of shit and a ring like a defiant, petulant child won’t change reality either.

every single time we have a debate like this over one of our players i just ask myself rhetorically: “what would this board be saying about this player if he played for A&M?” and basically every single time i ask myself that, the answer is, “if this guy played for a&m this board would be absolutely crushing him and laughing at aggie fans for acting like he’s hot shit”. this is another one of those cases. if quinn played for the aggies this entire board would say that he’s sucks, that he’s overrated, that he plays sped up and nervous after every time he gets hit, and that he has played like shit in a bunch of big games, and has almost never been the driving force behind one of his team’s wins. but as always, because he wears burnt orange, we’re gonna have a whole different take on him, and just lie to ourselves about how great he is, because we crowned him when he was 16 and started flirting with us.
like i alluded to earlier, nobody has ever vehemently disagreed with me or snapped on me and gone nuts becuase i was overly optimistic about a texas team or player. people here love that shit. it’s simply that a shocking number of you can’t handle reality when it isn’t what you want it to be, so you create false narratives and lash out at anyone who points out the inconvenient truth. it’s pathetic. and talking a bunch of shit and a ring like a defiant, petulant child won’t change reality either.  

At this point, I'm not even sure Quinn is even better than aggys qb.

What great defenses has he played against besides Notre Dame?  If he lights it up versus South Carolina and us then I’ll buy what you’re selling.

Weigman has more INTs than TDs this season.

I have it on direct source good information that the one doing the majority of the locker room player led speaking is not a QB and not a skill player. 

If that doesn't tell you what you need to know regarding the locker room you should probably figure out something else to plug into because championship caliber or best tier caliber performance isn't what you are interested in. 

You know who doesn't take the reins and double or triple down after not performing up to their standard? A fucking pussy. 

Trevor Lawrence wasn’t a fiery locker room leader. They talked about it ad nauseam before he was drafted. His demeanor was so chilled that they doubted he even loved football. It may not be conventional or what you want out of your QB but Texas is doing just fine considering that 4 years ago we were worried about losing to Kansas and TCU regularly. Stfu

He's not good enough if he plays like he has the past two weeks, period. 

I knew Quinn wasn’t good enough when he threw this lob to AD against Washington on the final play. (PI aside, it was a terrible throw). Watch the replay from his POV. I can’t believe we keep giving him so many chances when it’s clear his football IQ is not very good.

In just 3 seasons: 3x ACC Champion 1x National Champion 1x Heisman Finalist 38-2 Record (.950) Won the 1st 29 games he played in 0 Regular Season Ls • 758/1138 • 66.6% • 10,098 Passing Yards • 90 Passing TDs (17 INTs) • 943 Rushing Yards • 18 Rushing TDs • #1 Pick in the 2021 NFL Draft

This Trevor Lawrence? You are comparing Quinn's pussy ass shit to this guy? Who was never benched, who had 0 regular season losses in his career who was a heisman finalist to start out and never slowed down who is a proven competitor at the highest level? This is the guy you choose to compare to Quinn wears a vagina suit Ewers?

he's incapable of throwing it hard on a line bc of his shitty mechanics.

That’s the transitive property you guys say doesn’t work and that aggy’s do all the time. I don’t care about his stats. Lawrence did all those things and people doubted he loved football enough to be great in the nfl. They were wrong just like you’re wrong now. Quinn doesn’t need to be a fiery leader who lets his nuts hang out to get us to the sec championship game or the college football playoff. Baker mayfield never won a title despite being what you think Quinn should be. Our defense is lights out and if our offense never plays like they did Saturday again then we will win out. I’m confident we will be just fine. 

[Red Five 40824]

I was reminded of this pass earlier, from his first spring game. I think we can objectively say that he is no longer capable of doing this, for whatever reasons.

If Quinn was as good a college QB as Baker was we would be undefeated national champions this year.

Oh my. That's two different zip codes we're talking about. Maybe more.

Quinn should have had about 5 against Georgia. On top of his other turnovers. He hit Georgia defenders several times right in the chest that they dropped. He's nothing more than a check down artist at this point. Defenses don't have to even worry about anything down field. Even if they get beat deep, not like Quinn will connect or even see them.

I don’t know that I would go that hard on the Quinn criticism.  I agree that Trevor Lawrence isn’t the right comparison, but Quinn still blew out OU a couple times and beat a hell of a lot of other good teams.  Could he be better?  Of course, but to sit there on the couch and call him a giant pussy is a little much.

Both Bama games? The one he played a quarter in? A Michigan team that could be 6-6 or 7-5, Big 12 championship against a shitty OSU team, or 49-0 against a OU team that finished 6-7? 

 

His best game against a good team was last year at Bama.

 

 

I don’t agree with my little brother often, but Ewers has two of the most overhyped games of all time. 
 

The OU 49-0 game.  They quit at half.  They were terrible before they quit.  He made some nice throws but also had one of the shittiest drives of all time ending in a pick.  At least I think it was the same drive.

The Bama game in which he played a quarter.  Great start.  Do you remember those great offensive starts in 2021 that petered out?  Nevermind that Bama also had a great start and got locked down the next two quarters.  Who knows how that finishes.

 

Now, there’s a difference in the timing of the two Bama games and Michigan as compared to Georgia as well. Think about that in terms of health and game planning.

[Not a Sock 2311]

Y’all have a lot of strong opinions on scheme and mechanics for a bunch of stupid fucks that very clearly don’t know the difference between a zone read and a RPO.

Does it matter? The are ton of post on this subject (I am big part), but the shit is simple. There is no reason to debate the merits of Quinn's games prior to the injury. He does not look like that QB. Quinn needs to pull his head out of ass in a hurry or Arch needs to play.

The OU “blowouts” are fool’s gold. 49-0 was Davis Beville making his first career collegiate start during BV’s first year. This year’s 34-3 OU game had Michael Hawkins Jr was making his second start. Six of those points were field goals. Quinn beat OU during their Charlie Strong era. Big fucking deal. Only Quinn could make the QB play look like shit while “blowing out” OU.

Yep, if we lose one more game then the season is over and you might as well get Arch in to take some lumps.
