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

This post falls apart because we have seen Arch be QB1 for 2-1/2 games. His improvement was night and day between Monroe and Mississppi State. Arch lead Texas to 35 points against the only SEC defense he played, Ewers has done that once against the other 6 SEC defenses he has played.

The only reason the switch hasn't been made is likely the Manning family wants nothing to do with the controversy of replacing an entrenched starter on this team. I think the Manning and Arch himself would prefer to be QB1 throughout an entire off-season headning into the season.

I also think, if this was another Hudson Card/Casey Thompson situation the switch would have already been made.

Sure but it’s not likely she knows what she’s talking about. I’ve got a lot of mom’s views over the years, and they are never so nuanced that would dictate a “plan” with a major CFB coach. The implication is always Cooper and uncles and/or Archie. And it is 100% wrong. 

Why? Because she's a woman?

yes, the people who are taking the Manning family’s involvement in Arch’s recruitment process/plan for his time at Texas and making it out to be “some grand conspiracy” or anything other than standard operating procedure are fucking stupid. 

also, nobody but you has mentioned peyton and eli being involved in any of this, but don’t let that stop you from tilting at windmills.

Holy shit dude, this thread is full of people talking about the collective manning family from Papa down through the uncles to Dad.

We are 10-1 in the SEC but Quinn Ewers is incredibly easy to scheme against? Number 15 scoring offense? Number 17 passing offense despite the fact that we aren't even a spread team. Number 18 total offense? Everyone is choosing o take him away instead of loading up on the run but easy to scheme against. Lol

But SEC is a MeatGrinder...wait no, our schedule is easy...wait, no it is SEC MeatGrinder...oh fuck it all.

my main 2 quibbles with Ewers are 1)he is a bit late on his throws/reads which manifests issues on deep balls more and 2) ball security in the pocket

he rarely throws picks straight to the other team.  batted balls are a function of footwork, height and arm angle, i've resigned myself to the fact that he aint fixing his footwork at this point and the other 2 are just who he is.

It appears as if Quinn doesn't handle things like adversity and change very well. Get him off schedule and he becomes a different QB. 

But hey, when he's 100% and has clean pockets with plenty of time to throw and open receivers downfield, he's really good. 

I said this same thing about Tom Brady.

[Stunns38 3538]

I’m still pissed that he was left in but the more I think about it, I think Sark left him in to simply give aggy more to think about and to gameplan on. I expect Arch packages regardless of Quinn’s health.

[wild_turkey 3177]

I’ve been critical of Quinn over the years. His recruiting ranking was extremely high and his actual performance is a lot closer to Chris Simms than it is Colt McCoy. I think there are reasonable critics who get frustrated when fans defend him as if he is another Colt and are reluctant to acknowledge his shortcomings.

He can have great streaks followed by bad stretches, and it’s those bad stretches that concern me that it will eventually cost us a game when it counts the most. It’s all already been said, but he looks nervous in the pocket, has no mobility, and his deep ball is horribly inaccurate. For a 3rd year starter who was once a Heisman hopeful, that’s not great.

I would’ve liked to see Arch get some reps in the 2nd half, not because I believe he is better at this point, because I really have no way of knowing that, but merely to give our backup some more experience in case we truly need him. With our starter’s injury history, that seems entirely possible. The 2009 championship game still haunts me and I’d like our backup to be as prepared as possible.

Sark has his reasons which many of us don’t understand, but he does have us at 10-1 so it’s hard to question the success he is delivering. He knows more about this team than any of us do. Maybe it’s stubborn loyalty to Quinn, or maybe it’s a hidden concern about Arch, or a mythical deal with the Manning family, or paranoia about a QB controversy, we really can’t know.

I personally think everything is a risk-reward situation, and this week Sark felt sticking with Quinn both for the sake of winning against Kentucky and for avoiding a QB controversy, outweighed whatever marginal benefit Arch would get from handing the ball off for 15 plays. He probably just wanted to get through the game, get the win, and then reassess for aggy.

I suspect Quinn will be our starter and I will definitely be rooting for him to do well. Winning our remaining games is more important than validating any past criticisms. I’ll cheer his successes and likely curse some missteps. I just hope there’s a lot more cheering than cursing.

Nothing in Sark’s time at Texas should lead you to expect that.

My position is simply that in 2010, in the national championship ship game, Mack Brown pulled Garrett Gilbert basically out of the freezer. 

Arch Manning hasn’t had a real possession since September where he was asked to do anything except hand the ball off. And it would be nice to keep the motor warmed up in case you need to drive that car. 

Most teams don’t play their 2nd string QB throughout the regular season and especially in conference play. Hope that helps.

Yes, I think it's possible that an intelligent woman can make decisions regarding her son. My wife is 1000x smarter than I am and can learn any subject that she deems important. I understand what you think you're saying, but you just sound like an asshole. 

[BurntOrange&White 39939]

Just catching up after a little vacation but watching the game these are my thoughts.

 

Quinn had a really good first half but his deep ball fucking sucks, we all know. Should have at least 3 wide open touchdowns but shit floaters....

His TD throw to Helm was his best completed throw of the season IMO. His best incomplete throw was the one where he escaped the pocket and the ball was dropped by Bolden. 

I loved what I saw from him before his ankle injury because it seemed like he was on pace to get back to how he was prior to ab injury.

Sark should have definitely taken him out midway through the third after it appeared he was on one leg and could barely move. We were up 24-7 and the game was not in doubt. Just pure stupidity and arrogance by Sark and it would have been good reps for Manning vs a good solid defense just in case.

 

I do like the fight Quinn showed staying in on a bum ankle so I'd rate him as a slight pussy for this game.

In my opinion his best incompletion was the throw he threaded to the back of the ez from the sideline after escaping the pocket vs Michigan that got called back for holding or the deep ball to Moore up the sideline that he dropped a couple weeks ago.

Those were good but his ball placement and velocity on the Helm TD in the back of the endzone was just perfect spot where only Helm was going to catch it or it's incompletion out the back of the endzone. 

 

From a detail standpoint I did see that Quinn was more fundamentally sound in the 1st half with most of his throws minus a few. The few being that weird fucking all arm throw he does where his feet are parallel with the LOS.

He should've been pulled when he got hurt. Didn't like that call from Sark at all. But yeah we kept him pretty clean and he did his thing. The all arm throw is weird. He doesn't step into a lot of his throws. I think that is a function of him trying to take something off it. My daughter does this. She doesn't rotate her torso when she is trying to take something of her vball swing instead of just slowing her arm down. Just like QE not sound at all.

Also the throw to Helm was pretty tits. He feathered it in there nicely. A lot of QBs don't have that in their bag.

The all arm thing is why his throws are sailing and floating...it's infuriating to watch. Because other times you'll see him use good mechanics and step into his throws and you see the zip he has. If he can apply that to his deeper passes he would have been able to hit Bond in stride, hit Golden on the wheel route vs Arkansas, or a streaking Wingo for a touchdown. Instead they're floated and gives defenders time to close on receivers and cause incompletions that we ultimately end up bitching should have been PI. Part of that is why I was complaining so much on some of his positive throws like the Moore touchdown vs Vandy.....that shit is rearing it's head and could cost us in big games.
