Got kind of quiet here. Not enough arguing. Hey @BurntOrange&White. What is the receiver supposed to do here?

 

 

I'm guessing that's why Niblack doesn't get a lot of snaps.

Of course, neither Helm nor Campbell did much better with their assignments

[markstanco 12577]

The offense has to find some verticality if they're to be able to move the ball down the stretch.

I’m pretty sure everyone gets this with the current state of the o line. Marcell Reed threw twice in the lsu game.

Listening to Rod Babers, he said in the last three weeks we are 127th in yards per completion….  

Bond was a much bigger loss than people realized. 

By far our best WR.

That was on the OL for their terrible blocking and nobody reacting to the corner blitz. Nobody was open by the time the pressure came. 

Looking at the replay I noticed the defender jumped to block the pass even before Quinn lifted his right arm to start his throwing motion. Why? Because Quinn slapped the ball with his left hand. Look at how the defender reacts to the slap. They know that’s a tell before Quinn throws the ball.

the blitzer knew where the pass should be going, the dback coming up knew where the pass should be going, the receiver's running to the endzone with his thumb up his ass getting his QB sacked.

Yeah. Quinn is not, and will never be, perfect. However, he is not nearly as bad as this thread says he is.

I've said I'm most pissed because he can make all these throws. He's just being a fucking pussy. It's all mental with Quinn it's not overhype he's really that fucking good. That's why it sucks to watch him play like a pussy.

You’re the worst fucking poster on this site. I’m not a Quinn apologist, he definitely looks like crap lately. But it would be fun to watch him punch you right in your fucking face.

Some here know but for those that don't know as soon as Wingo sees the DB blitz he is supposed to go hot. You don't keep running your long ass route. You immediately break your route off and make yourself available. This is usually in the form of a stop route, curl, or slant. This is a non verbal sight adjustment based on what they see. @Derka would say look at stupid Quinn when Quinn is looking right where Wingo should break his route off but when he doesn't he is forced to eat the ball. When shit goes wrong it's not always because "Quinn is a shit quarterback". Sometimes his hot read isn't there because a freshman receiver didn't see the blitz. Or it's zone defense and Quinn is expecting the receiver to sit in an open spot and he keeps running across the formation.

I said it before but I will say it again. It's almost always the simplest answer. His top 4 receivers gone, his two backs(good at pass pro), and his RT. Maybe the kid is struggling because of that. Everyone is still trying to put it all together. Yes. Quinn isn't the most mobile. He has a low, sidearm delivery. His footwork isn't the best. He is shaky with the deep ball. He can get a little panicky with pressure. But when you keep him clean he is damn good.

Quinn is what he is. QE is the kind of QB, like Brady, that you have to keep clean. Give him a solid pocket and he will sling it all over. Every player has flaws. Tom Brady had those same flaws. So they made sure to keep Tom's line solid year after year. Everyone understands what is going on. Even opposing defenses. Hopefully Sark gets it cleaned up.

Seems like he and Quinn were on the same page during the OU game this year in a similar scenario and it went for big yardage.

Lol this is why people are saying you must be related to him.
Not the most mobile? He’s glacial
Footwork isn’t the best? It’s been terrible his whole career
Shaky with the deep ball? He’s been terrible at it his whole career
A little panicky with pressure? He has abysmal pocket presence

As far as some people are taking being blind haters (some like immamac are definitely taking it way too far) you are just as much being a sunshine pumper.

all of the given excuses which absolve QE of blame for his own ineffectual play ring hollow, because his issues are the same issues he has always had at Texas. his teammates being injured and/or playing poorly certainly doesn’t help, but it’s not like these are brand new issues for quinn. it’s all the same shit that it’s always been, except for the fun new addition where the intermediate portion of the passing game has disappeared. 

Edited October 29 by Derka

[Derka 6208]

also, for all the blame being laid on his teammates, quinn has it a lot better than plenty of Texas QBs have had it in the past. in 2008 colt mccoy was coming off a poor, injury-affected sophomore year, he had *zero* running game, after week three he had no TE, he had the softest, weakest, most pussy o line i’ve ever seen, and oh yeah, he was being coached by mack “scared to death” brown with plays being called by greg “wr’s are for blocking” davis, and all he did was lead the team in rushing, lead the nation in completion percentage, throw for 3,900 yards and a 34/8 td/int ratio, and finish runner-up in the heisman. i’m sick of hearing three years worth of excuses for why QE can’t even be consistently above average when he’s surrounded by nfl talent and tier 1 coaching. shit is lame.

It's like you completely looked past the part where I outlined all the things wrong with him to still call me a sunshine pumper lol. We've had 100 quarterbacks here since 2009. We were in that sorry ass conference and still couldn't win shit. Quinn won it and got us to the playoff by his second year. Forgive me for not forgetting how bad our QB play has been over the years. I see where we can improve but I haven't forgotten where we've come from. Y'all are like trailer park folk who hit the lottery, move to a gated community, and get super pissed about your neighbor's choice of house color.

and all of Colt's success was on the backs of two guys. 98 yr old Quan Cosby and Jordan Shipley. In 08 2200 of his yards came from those two dudes. Quan caught 92 balls by himself. The other 14 dudes not named Shipley caught a combined 162 balls. Two super experienced guys who knew how to play the game and had a great connection with the QB. The next year without Quan, anyone we played with a pulse defensively was a struggle. Ship caught 1500 yards worth of balls in 09.

It's not a lie. It's an absurdity that a multi-year starter can only perform well when conditions are perfect for him. 

That's the expectation of a 2 star recruit playing for Boston College. The expectation of a blue chipper earning $1M+ in NIL on a ranked team is to outperform in adverse condition. To play well WHEN his protection breaks down.

You are making the same point i am making. Glad we are in agreement. The receivers from last year see that blitz, break the route off, Quinn throws that ball, and we aren't here talking about how big a pussy Quinn is.

^^More evidence that the fake handoff needs to stop. Nobody is fooled and when there’s a protection breakdown neither Ewers nor the RB has time to react

He could have handed that one off, not a fake hand off. Pre-snap that is a hand off. Assume he sees the blitz and doesnt. Not sure why he didnt just throw it at the feet of the WR, cant take that sack. WR also has to see the blitz and make an adjustment, though I havent seen a WR adjust to the Cb blitz the last 2 games. Poor play by Quinn and the WR.

So because Quinn didn’t want to risk being drafted after Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Michael Penix, JJ McCarthy and Bo Nix, Quinn decided to roll the dice and come back to a team full of young receivers who don’t have the experience to adjust when there is a blitz.

Nobody in Quinn’s camp thought, “hey, he might not look as good when he’s not throwing to 1st and 2nd round guys, but fuck it he’ll be fine since we only have to worry about Shedeur getting drafted ahead of Quinn.” How is that working out for Quinn now? The more tape teams have on him, the more they expose his weaknesses and it hurts his draft stock.

Crazy how people expect a 3rd year starter at a top 5 team to play when conditions arent perfect.

Kyle Porter is a great running back when he has a hole to run through, the run route develops as designed, and defenders are too slow to catch him.

Quinn was not even close to being touched by that receiver. Sure Cam got bull rushed but he was between Quinn and the defender. Just a giant pussy play by Ewers because he's such a pussy he quivers at the sight of pressure. He also bailed the wrong way because he almost tripped on himself out of being a giant pussy.

He did bail the wrong way because Cam got beat to the inside. The funny part about this is someone gets beat and then we critique how Quinn handled it. Lol. How about we just don't be a turnstile then we won't have to worry about uncoordinated Quinn Ewers tripping on his dick.

It's quite literally the QB's job to know where pressure may be coming from, to know where blitzes may be coming from, to adjust to said pressure and blitzes. LMAO like really come on now....You're asking quinn basically to play 7on7.

It's also Cams job to hold up against a Vandy defensive end and not get beat to the inside multiple times in a single game. We've already established Quinn escaped the wrong way. Once again we know who Quinn is athletically. We've known that since he walked on Campus. His stumbling is no surprise.

YOu keep saying Quinn isnt perfect, but you expect everyone else to be perfect. Cam got beat for moment and was too deep, but he recovered and had that guy locked up. Wasnt ideal but take a few calm steps and that is all good. Tripping over his own feet made that a much worse situation. It's OK to critic both players.

Yes. Yes he was. Cam was beat to the inside. If Quinn doesn't move, that defender likely gets an arm on him. He is literally standing right next to Quinn's drop back point right after Quinn scrambles/stumbles away.
