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

[futureman 22434]

you think if arch played with his hair on fire and drove us for a touchdown against the dogs that quinn would still have come out in the third?

so what exactly do you think happened against georgia?  quinn was not benched?

I think my point was clear.  Get a tutor if you have a problem comprehending it.

[futureman 22434]

obviously he didn’t so it doesn’t matter.  but quinn was so bad that he was told to sit out for a while.  acting like his play hasn’t been a problem is willful ignorance.

I'm pretty sure I've been plenty critical of his play.  The question becomes "what is the alternative?"

I also know I'd have a more productive conversation with my chihuahua than you, so carry on in your inimitable way.

look at this list from before the season

I think all the players that are on that list that are not playing to their (perceived) potential are suffering from some of the same things Ewers is......the lack of consistency of the team overall

Texas still as a group on the OLine looks to lack consistency as a unit no matter how good each individual player is......I think Ewers still has not figured out which receivers are his 2nd or 3rd option that will be there consistently (some on him some on the overall lack of reps together)

I think a lot on this forum forget just how shitty Texas was for a long time and how much talent has come and gone (both wasted and that moved to the next level even if a bit early) while Texas is comparing themselves to programs that have been at a lot higher level and a lot more consistent for a lot longer......that are themselves declining because of consistency issues brought on by the portal and by coaching changes when coaches say "fuck all this NIL and portal shit I am retired"

I think last year Texas snuck up on some teams and was right there at the end......which lead to massive expectations this year while still having a lot of work to do and a lot of talent to replace.....Ewers and a number of other QBs n that list are suffering from those same issues and it is magnified at the QB position because they touch the ball every offensive play

Bad QB play like Quinn is showing with indecisiveness makes an OL look a lot worse than they really are

The other QB we have that is 2-0 as a starter with 980 total yards and 10 TDs in less than 2.5 games?

well what a lot of people get worked up about is that we have a five-star in his second year waiting on the bench.  quinn is the better option most of the time.  sometimes he’s bad enough that arch would probably give us a better chance to win.  it’s a hard thing for a coach to do but quinn was so bad against georgia that it happened.

Well, our QB Whisperer coach seems to disagree, so I'm torn.

[gurt 738]

he called our tightend a running back. That is not a mesh rail route. At all.

Most people have caught on to the fucking troll, but your dumbass has used two different threads to latch onto me saying something is catchable, verse your dumb broken brain concluding I meant he should've caught it. Its fucking embarrassing that you've been responding to my troll posts for 4 hours. I'll spend the next four hours saying he should've dove head first to grab it. Immamac recognized a troll with the online Master's comment, but you somehow fuck that up and went full on with it [mention=33]hobbes2702[/mention]. I'm going to Wrigleyville right now and I'm gonna tell a bunch of Ohio State fans I'm super scared of them.

Why? Because he knows the offense better? Is that even true anymore?  The only reason he’s still playing is because Sark has to recruit.

Lolwut

[Gidnik 3253]

90%of the blame goes to sark and his terrible play calling. Every time he calls that slow developing blind screen to the rb I scream. It’s either a negative play, tipped, or intercepeted(or both).  He has completely abandoned the run until the 4th quarter. He is utterly predictable as a play caller he believes his own fucking hype. He’s almost wore at times than Tom fucking Herman. 

[F250 28730]

Quinn Ewers is good enough but not great enough.

[Jkwellborn 6666]

Really hard to know and I think that ship might have sailed. He would have needed some starts vs lesser defenses. The frustrating part of Quinn is it’s year 3 and you never know what you will get out of him. That is supposed to be the reason you start experience 

Arch did pretty good when he was getting the reps and preparing as the starter. I believe he would be adequate. The offense would look different.

[Sawbonz 27460]

Quinn is just not bright. I’m pulling for him but he’s dumb

Bullshit. I am melting down. We lose Banks after this year. And our center that has been here for 6 years. And Helm. And Bond. And Jahdae. And Sorrell. And Collins and most importantly Golden is about to be drafted if he keeps it up. Our only hope is defense at this point. And PK will probably be poached. We have a team that can strike this year. But our qb is a thirsty pussy and his backup is better at the job. The answer is clear. But sark can’t do it bc he needs to be able to recruit.

So what. MS is horrible. ULM just got smoked by Auburn. 

[Jkwellborn 6666]

#1 We all know Ewers doesn’t throw a great deep ball
#2 Ewers can make the short and medium throws ( think he needs to put more on some and not throw lazy passes
#3 Ewers is no a great ath. Doesn’t do well escaping pressure and no QB run game. 
#4 Ewers knows the off and does a great job not throwing int’s. 
#5 IMO OL is built for inside zone running but backs don’t fit the scheme. IMO that is why we get so many hiding calls , easier to see by the refs injuries have forced us to change
#5 OL has no played up to hype! No sure the why we struggle vs run and pass. Veteran group should be better
#6 Def has been amazing  
#7 I would like to see a Arch package to force the def to work on QB run game and more deep stuff etc
Let’s fuck up Aggy
 
 

I’m gonna argue #4. Wasn’t this the first game he hasn’t had an int?

Wait, what?  He didn't throw any INTs against Michigan or Florida, either.

Benching Quinn Ewers would be really hard to explain to qb recruits given our record.

Perhaps our record makes it difficult to bench Ewers.  Or maybe (just maybe) our coach knows a shit ton more about what he can roll out with one guy vs the other, and he's making a judgment call.

Calm down buttercup. Sark will go raid the portal like he always has and we’ve got a Manning coming in at qb. We will be fine.

Of course it will be.  We're losing multiple skill players along with some guys on the line, and the offense will be crafted more to Arch's strengths.

Lighten up. I've seen a lot of years where Texas had a championship caliber team yet didn't win one. It happens.

If you're tempted to lose perspective and melt down, Just imagine Charlie Strong and his merry pack of hapless coordinators trying to figure out which end of a football is up while truly bad QB play cements another ignominious Texas defeat. Man, we didn't even know how to execute the coin toss back then. Beating Arkansas 20 to 10 to go 9-1 while probably headed to the playoff looks pretty damn sweet by comparison.

Our quarterback is scared.  And he sails balls that shouldn’t be floated. He’s a great 7 v 7 qb. He doesn’t step into throws. We have a backup that isn’t scared of contact.

We do have some good to great players. That doesn't make it our year by any stretch, even if Arch is QB. I've seen better Texas team's than this spit the bit. It happens.

Just enjoy having a good team that's nationally relevant.
