Ball should be coming out now to the pylon and it's an easy touchdown as the DB is turned around. Instead Quinn holds the ball entirely too long.

Ball to Wingo was floated and late, but Moore is wide ass open

Lmao there should be a thread of screenshots like this with a multiple choice of "what happens next?" It would be one of the funniest threads on the site.

Is Moore looking for the ball there? An experienced receiver would sit in that hole in the zone, but Moore just keeps running his route full speed and doesn't appear to turn to look for the ball into he at the 8 yard line (after the ball is in the air to Wingo). I'm pretty sure Moore ends up running into the corner's range before he is ready to catch the ball.

I don't think Quinn can do off-schedule if he didn't run the predetermined route Quinn would fuck up the throw or just not know where to look. 

IMO we are seeing Quinns glass completely full from a mental standpoint, whether that's stress, playbook, whatever he's maxed out mentally before he's maxed out his physical attributes.

If it is a 1 read route, then being late and floating it is worse.

Which GA was able to completely shut down.  Which atms defense is also very proficient at as well.  What the ags are not good at is tackling in space.  Rewatch the USC game.  They were in the backfield all day.  The USC qb was just able to shrug off tackles and make plays with his legs.  It's going to be a long day if Texas tries to run the ball up the middle on the ag front 4.  This isn't a team you want to get behind the chains with.  3rd and long and they are sending the house every time.  If the line can't pick up the blitz, use misdirection, and make accurate passes in that soft atm underbelly, QE is going to get killed.  

We were talking about it during that game. QE isn’t mobile but Texas screen game could dampen A&M’s ability.

I get selling out for the inside run game is dangerous when it isn’t a strength, but not having it is a major issue that impacts QE play and sark’s play calling independently of QE’s struggles. They all compound on one another. 
 

and while arch is mobile I really don’t want him in third and long against that aggy front at Kyle field. That’s how freshmen lose games.

Reading this thread that's why I prefer to watch games alone. You're not a coach you don't see these guys every day you have no idea wtf you're talking about so just shut up. It's a beating to watch a game with a person like that. Especially when you're winning.

 

It's not even that a person like that is always wrong 100% of the time or doesnt make any good points. It's just the histrionics make you come off like a nut and it rubs people wrong. Like yeah man I'm sure you know better than Sark, sure. Keep getting upset about it. You're probably the same parent at a little league game yelling at coaches.

Texas needs to be huge on the flare routes and when A&M starts sitting on those they need to attack the fuck out of York at LB. He's slow and their weakest defender in the pass game. Put him on skates and make him think where he just can't come down hill when we do run the ball.

Not only that, I don’t think Quinn understands leverage. The final throw against Washington is one example. Quinn always throws the ball to a predetermined spot without factoring in what side the defender is to the receiver or how to hit his man in stride to continue to streak down the field. He’s not protecting his guys from getting walloped if they need to reach out or make themselves vulnerable to grab the catches he throws past the LOS.

I’m no coach, but when I see a few guys wide open across the middle of the field, I’m gonna say the ball needs to be thrown. But I don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about since I’m not a coach.

If you were on the sidelines, those throws would be hit every time. We totally get it.

WE ARENT WINNING HARD ENOUGH!!

All kidding aside, we've seen what it takes to go deep into the post-season.  We all see the potential of this team and we do see the opportunities to play at a much higher level.  It's easy to point out a problem.  Much harder to fix it.  

What I don't get is the same problems we saw over the last tow years are still happening.  That's what I don't understand.

The play that pissed me off the most Saturday was the throw down the sideline that was broken up. Quinn floated the pass in there instead of throwing it on a rope into a HUGE window. This should have been a big gain!

Yeah, that made me ragey.  Easily could have been picked off.  Got lucky, same with the fumble out of bounds.

After that fuckup we got good Quinn and went on to win the game. It wasn’t a clear cut ass whooping of Alabama as people would like to say. But much respect for Quinn and the team winning in Tuscaloosa. 

Uh, we controlled the last 7 minutes of the clock and took a knee.  It was a clear cut ass whooping.

Quinn doesn't throw it on the rope. That's why timing and anticipation is crucial for his success.

I fully believe the first golden TD against Arky was as much about the TD as it was making the defense play the perimeter honest. that bodes well for Blue in space. I think that short perimeter passing game will be the key to Texas O playing well. And to do that, QE is going to have to hit some solid intermediate passes.

Frankly I think he's much better on the road in a big game than he is at home. I actually like this game at Kyle tbqh.

In my opinion, mind you it's just my opinion, his deep downfield passes have not been the same since the oblique strain. He played better than Oklahoma than he has their last couple of games though. I don't know if it's a combination of over under throws or dropped balls. They just need to get their shit together we still have some games to win

There is so many open receivers every week on crosses that never get the ball....it's actually insane.

This is my point about throws over the middle. Throws “between the numbers” do not equal throws over the middle necessarily.

Yeah, Quinn hasn't lived up to his hype. But he's not trash by any means. 

Just hope for the best.

Hope in one hand and shit in the other, see which fills up first.

Quinn needs to either get right or get healthy, and get back to where he was vs. Michigan, or Sark needs to play Manning. Quinn just can't do it right now, none of know exactly what is going on but there's times when he's holding back the team and obviously not giving us the best chance to win.

Just throw away another year when we should be winning the National Championship? No thanks.

It’s unfortunate that Quinn has regressed considering the talent around him. Unless he suddenly flips the switch and sheds his ghosts, I don’t think this team is a playoff contender. Maybe if we had a better running game, but…
 

We all want to believe Arch can carry this team to victory if Quinn is benched, but his play against Georgia wasn’t exactly inspiring. Against a very talented and aggressive defense, he will likely look like the inexperienced QB he is and make some serious mistakes. 
 

I think Sark recognizes this and believes from a game management standpoint, Quinn provides the best opportunity to win. After all, he’s seen far more of Arch’s play against a stout defense than we have.

Arch got two series against a UGA defense that was frothing at the mouth. He had the one "spark" play we'd had all half to that point. QE played much better in the second half but first half issues doomed us. I'm not sure Arch would've gotten us back to within a score like QE but ultimately that didn't matter and we lost anyways. I also think Arch isn't quite ready for prime time but I do think the upside is much higher for him with this team. I think if he'd been playing more regularly since Georgia, there's a very good chance he's a better QB for this team when it will matter the most.

Gotta love that footwork. He threw the ball with both his feet parallel to each other.

Which is the maddening part...

I think there's a lot of contextual misunderstanding here because it's in text form with little imagery or context for frame of reference for people. 

People are frustrated with Quinn because what they are seeing isn't a guy who hasn't or can't do the things it's that it's a guy who has done those things and not in a fluke way enough to know he can do them and then he just doesn't. 

We all know Quinn can run some, we all know he can throw with his feet set, we know he can laser balls. We know he can throw lofty catch under balls, we know he can throw the post etc. 

What we are seeing a guy who we know can do these things, simply not do them. It's beyond frustrating and it's not entertaining. As much as some if you want sport to be all about the result, it's very much entertainment and watching the Longhorns play right now is fucking frustrating, it just doesn't come with the bitter pill of defeat as well. 

Its why games like Georgia implode engagement metrics across the board on all sites and platforms. Texas looked like shit, played like shit, didn't entertain anyone in the premier timeslot of one of the most anticipated games of the season and made it fucking meh. We had over 50 people watching at the tailgate and the game was so fucking lame and bad that the majority left and said fuck this I'll just go watch at home or do something else.  

the week of UTSA was higher traffic for all properties I'm involved with than OU and beyond. The media can't even do their top ranked SEC darling stuff because Texas is fucking boring as shit. Texas is bad TV. 

the defense making the game boring is a VERY good thing for us as fans, but the offense making the game feel stuck is what's turning people completely off. Without a marquis running back its easy to get bored of Quinn dinking and dunking and occasionally doing something great. Its why gunnar hurdling people is so fucking dope. Its not cuz he only gains an extra yard or 2, its because it's a huge human jumping over someone and making a play. 

Save a few people no one thinks Quinn sucks. They just think Arch is more fun to watch and should grow now instead of next season.

Or maybe he fucking dominates. That is still a real possibility. We haven't seen it in 6 weeks or whatever, but it's defiantly possible. 

Maybe that read option pull for the first down to win the game lights the fire and we see badass Quinn from here out.

I'm hoping that's the case

Which is crazy because this was his feet before he did that...all he had to do was step into his throw and it's a dime to a wide open receiver. Instead of does some weird feet chop thing and throws like pictured with all arm and floats it.

That thought has crossed my mind. I wonder if he's 100% or is he still nursing an injury. Maybe the finger issue from earlier in the season just isn't quite right and won't be until after the season is over. But then I think back to his deep balls in past seasons and they for the most part are moonshots that Worthy or somebody else would run under. Seem to recall him having more zip on the intermediate throws that he doesn't even try now.

I’m afraid it’s not Quinn regressing, it’s this is who he is like people have said. The difference is the defenses figuring out who he is (can’t run or throw deep). That is severely limiting what this offense can do. 
 

I don’t think Arch is going to be some amazing standout qb this year but he will at least keep defenses honest which will help the running game a lot and Sarks ability to scheme guys open. He’ll also extend plays with his legs which is huge to keep drives alive.

If QE can get things going early, he finds him stride and he's usually good to go.  It's the slow starts that are problematic.

Talk to a 'bama fan, they'll tell you we kicked their ass.  (And then they'll say we didn't get late-season Milroe.)

Fans tend to focus on offense, and the 'bama game was just more dynamic (454/362 total yards versus 315/231 against Arkansas).  Furthermore, 'bama was a 7 point favorite whereas we were a 14 point favorite over Arkansas.  Both games ended with no attempt at a FG to make it a 13 point differential, which would have just about nailed the Vegas line on Saturday.

Texas fans really need to embrace the fact that this is an elite defensive team with a "good" offense, and wins are often going to look ugly.

Seems problematic. And a dream situation for a DC. 

If Quinn was an opposing QB on our schedule, it feels like our defense would eat him alive. But that obviously isn't happening in practice.

Both qb's just need to move better in the pocket.  Step in and up.  Take a 3-4yd gain on the ground if it's there.  Keep the chains moving.  Payton and Brady were not mobile, but their footwork and ability to avoid the rush were legendary.

So do that.  Be like Payton and Tom and we'll all be good!  Pay me my $9.95.....
