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

[SpiralOut 1959]

VY won us a Natty because he had the moxie of a god.  Let your fucking nuts hang.  Where is that fire, confidence, and leadership from Quinn?  It's nonexistent.  Dude trots out there looking terrified, fucks up, and then sits back down on the bench with a dumb look on his face.  He'll throw a god tier pass every now and again, but he should be doing that.  He's got the talent he just doesn't have the brain or the leadership ability for the job.  And Sark handles him with kid gloves which is why Arch can't see the field even though it's obvious it would benefit the offense to have him in there more.

Arch had that scramble against Aggy where he dogged it out, dove for the pylon, scored, and then got up flexing and mean mugging.  The team went apeshit.  That's the kind of shit you need in the college game.  You need a guy not playing scared and who is willing to sell the fuck out to make it happen.    

Maybe when we're behind in a playoff game after Quinn has turned it over multiple times Sark will finally realize there's no more kicking the can down the road.

 Beck went in with 1 arm and handed it off to win the game. The entire time he was out on the sidelines he was shown seething and clearly wanting to play with one fucking arm - still locked in as if he was to go in every play. He wasn't smiling, loligagging, he was actively communicating with the backup, completely plugged in on the walkie talkie to the plays coming in. He was a fucking gamer. 

lol, this guy?

You mean like both games against Georgia? One of which was for a conference championship and bye week in the CFP?

I'm on your team, but I'm losing faith in Sarks ability to make the hard calls.

I’d take Beck over Quinn easily

[immamac 44239]

"Quinning" the game has a negative connotation because it's happened enough times where it's like wtf. 

"Bradying" a game is taking over and winning. 

I hated Sam a lot of times during a game, but god damnit I wanted him to do his magic in the clutch. He was that guy, even other coaches have spoken about it. Quinn just doesn't have the do or die lock in mode and that sucks. 

He shouldn't need that mode is the argument a lot of Quinn defenders in this thread make, and that's not a bad argument. He played well enough and the rest of what happened seemed to just work against a big time comfortable lead style of win. Quinn had to do something spectacular at the end of the game, and in OT to win. He just can't do spectacular on demand when it's lock in time he shits the bed, doesn't see wide open receivers and doesn't make the play and definitely doesn't lock in the guys around him. 

[Texasborn91 1086]

Hard to bitch about a game he three for 358 but damn that dude did not deliver in the clutch. Doesn’t even give his receivers a chance on fades in the end zone. Misses easy shit underneath. Arch will unlock this offense next year

Please tell me how our 60s QBs before integration were amazing and you actually watched them in real life

I'll tell you how.

In two of the biggest games of the entire 1960s (Arky and Domers), James Street put the team on his back and led late 4Q TD drives, with huge 4th down conversions on perfect passes, to win fucking championships!  

Something only VY has been able to do since. 

Dr. Pepper Quinn has failed to do that three times: last year v. Washington, had two shots last night. Failed miserably, not even close. 

There is one football goal at The University of Texas: Win conference and national championships. Especially national championships.

That's it. That's how QB greatness is measured at Texas. Regardless of decade.

Here is a question for you and all the usual subjects. @C-Man@BurntOrange&White@naija@MrBig@HtownHorn@hobbes2702 and anyone else really. Take a minute to think about this game and answer honestly. What position group of ours outplayed theirs.

Quarterback-

Running back-

O-line-

Receivers-

Dline-

LBs-

Secondary-

Special teams-

OC-

DC-

Quinn needs to play better or someone else needs to play. End of story. We aren’t talking about the other positions because even when those other positions have dominated Quinn has been bad.

People need to get over the yardage stats. Georgia was going to give Quinn yards because they knew he can’t beat them in the red zone. They play aggressive man defense close to the LOS to take away the run game and the horizontal passing game. We got plenty of explosive long pass plays, but only one long td from those. Once we got into the red zone the combo of our inability to run the ball and Quinn’s inability to make the right read in the shorter red zone windows stalled drives.

Sark definitely isn’t doing us any favors in this department. Consistently calling slow developing play action passes (with a non-existent running game) coupled with an immobile qb with poor pocket presence is not a recipe for success. 

[BurntEyes 6206]

You know, way back when I started a chant in the stadium (I have a witness and it can be heard on TV) of "free James Brown". 

I was at the UCLA in Pasadena when Major first started. I watched him get absolutely clobbered during a pass, pick his head up off the ground to see if he completed his pass. I became a fan.

VY.. well, was VY, and it was obvious from the start. In the USC championship game prior to the final drive I turned to my friends and with absolute confidence told them "We got this." Then before the final play, "We're going to score."

Colt had a drive that was so clear, and a heart so big it seemed like you could feel it in the stands.

Sam fucking went. Sam went really, really hard.

I've never felt any of those feeling about Quinn. I've never felt comfortable with Quinn in a tight game. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to fall.

Last night after the game I get in the elevator with two late 20s Georgia fans (and their hot ass GF). They were clearly stoned, but actually cool.

Georgia Guy 1: Man, that was a helluva game. Maybe we'll see you again in the playoffs.

Me: Yeah man, it was a crazy game.

Georgia Guy 2: I just gotta ask, when are you guys gonna get a clue and just start Manning?

Me: Don't get me started.

Hot ass girlfriend: Hey I want to dump my guy and go to your room instead.

Me: Let's go.

He needs to learn he no longer needs to do it. Our players are better than their players and they aren't getting open because of play design, they are getting open because they are better. For running plays, let your large humans fire out and blow people up. Don't ask them to step backwards and sideways and have to find their block.  Save all the action for change of pace, not as a base option.

Unfortunately I think we’re in the same position with Sark that we are with Quinn. He is who he is and he’s not changing. He has his philosophy and while it works well against most teams and we have won a lot of games these last couple of seasons, he doesn’t look to be the kind of coach who is willing to make adjustments when his schemes have been figured out. 

[Nivek 17384]

Quinn is still hurt IMO.  He has not been able to run around like he did earlier in the year.   Sark not preparing Arch, nor going with quick passing really limited our production.   Again, those plays were there earlier in the season and he went away from it.    He should have also fought for his team and walked all over the field during the game.

Was Sark bad is the redzone? I saw multiple open receivers. You can argue he was too aggressive in OT, but there were open receivers there

He threw the ball 46 times. Of course that translates to a lot of passing yards, especially when the throws are all YAC-dependent screens, slants, and other lofted throws into open space.

7.78 yards per attempt is solidly average:

Wow. Insulting and mocking Longhorn all-time greats to prop up Dr. Pepper Quinn. Lulz. 

Street scared the shit out of teams because he ran one of the greatest offenses in CFB history -- and completed big-time passes as needed to win a national championship. 

Street was 20-0 as a starter and had more big-time game-winning moxie than Ewers could ever dream of.

Dude looks completely scared and meek every time they panned to him during the game. Zero leadership. Look at the difference to when Beck's backup went it, his team rallied around him. Every time Quinn throws deep passes I assume it's going to be off, and am surprised (and happy) when it's not.

Sark is too stubborn, and teams are exploiting him for it 

[TwiceHorn 32029]

This loss wasn't completely on Quinn, but my God, what a synergy of disaster.

The penalties put us behind the chains, where Quinn doesn't always flourish.  Which led to:

Needing to rely on the running game in short field situations, where we don't have the RB/OL combo to do that well against a team like UGa.  Which led to:

Drives stalling out and needing to make a FG with sideshow burt. 

 

[utexas8 1695]

Coming into tonight, Helm, Golden, Bolden, Wingo, Moore, and Bond had exactly three total games where they caught 100+ yards. Bond and Wingo both had over 100 yards against UTSA and Arch was the primary QB for that game, and Moore had over 100 against MSU when Arch was again the QB.
This is just fucking amazing.
I still believe had Texas just run ZR with Arch the entire 1st OT, we would have scored a TD.

I feel like that’s what they did. Just run. This not on the defense. 90-95% on the offense/special teams but man I was surprised how much UGA could run on us. The defense has to play perfect when the offense/ST aren’t playing well. Impossible.

[utexas8 1695]

Honestly idk why this thread keeps going, but here I am contributing.

Quinn is not getting pulled we know this. Unless he plays UGA 1st game bad. But he’s been playing mediocre. Not enough to pull him. Sark does not have the balls to do this. We know this. If he did arch would have more packages. Granted arch has only been in this package a little but it’s all runs. Sark acts like he isn’t an elite passer. Yes I know it’s probably coming. But keep him in longer.


We can argue that Arch gives us the best chance to win like it’s actually going to change the outcome but it’s not. This page has 1-4 more games and it’s over with. Thank God.

It’s Quinn till the end. Unfortunately.

I very much doubt that our season finishes with QE at QB. That is my gut feeling. Whether that means he gets pulled after a disastrous first half of a playoff game or he is injured, I just dont see him making it through 4 straight playoff games.

vy could absolutely read a defense better than qe. That includes seeing a play is covered and busting out of the pocket especially.

[Stunns38 3765]

I agree with most of what you're saying. However, I don't think we needed a hero quarterback *last night. I think we need a QB that had the ability to run some and more frequently throw accurate non-loft long balls.
If only we knew where to find one.
Our D kept us in the game, but Kirby out coached Sark primarily based on Sark's habits and Quinn’s weaknesses. 
Quality Ds and coaching staffs will be able to do the same.
Quinn is a good college quarter back. I'm still smoking hopium Sark alters his mindset and plays Arch more, and Quinn doesn't Quinn it up in the playoffs... but I'm pretty sure I'll need to mainline some copium before the season is over.
Still have my national championship ticket... 

Sark’s too stubborn to alter his mindset. I noticed him yesterday and he looked nervous and almost terrified. Even during the pregame. Not sure if he was feeling well or just like the coach in water boy where he was terrified of his nemesis on the other sideline.

Quinn was simply good enough but not the alpha to will the team over the top with off-schedule plays. His attitude seems like he doesn’t give a fuck. No energy. Sark didn’t help with his playcalling either. Like I’ve been saying all season, Sark and Quinn are the crucial reasons if or if we won’t win a title.

[Stunns38 3765]

Most NFL GMs always fall in love with arm strength and measurables. See Anthony Richardson and the legendary bust from LSU. He will get drafted but he will probably mentally burn out quickly or be a long term backup. The NFL won’t coddle him like Sark and I don’t think he’s physically changed much in 4 years.

Putting the loss on Quinn is crazy. Quinn was the best part of our offense. Yes, he isn't a fiery leader that is going to elevate the team. He is a game manager at this point and we just need to accept that. But he played well enough to win. The line got dominated in the run game and our receivers ain't ones come up with tough contested catches. This offense needs a j whitt and it needs a Roschon. We need leaders on O other than QB.  Bitch about those OT passes if you want, but those are makeable plays. Moore had a ton of space to the sidelines where Quinn threw but kept his route more vertical. Wingo needs to learn to use his body to make tough catches. It sucks that we don't have personnel to deal with defenses with elite speed in the redzone, but we just don't. Yes, Arch is almost certainly a better option in the RedZone if we play Georgia again or if we end up facing an Ohio State. But I don't think any other teams in the playoffs match up as well with us.
