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

Helm stumbles because he is cutting inside the safety (and possibly being held, but we never get a closer shot of it). I think he is absolutely trying to split the safeties. But yes, given how it played out, the next read would have been the crosser.  As I said, I think Quinn saw the off coverage up top and decided to go to Wingo, so none of that ended up mattering.

Maybe. You would think he would be closer to the goal posts. I still like Golden. That is probably a TD. Either way he is locked on to the side where Georgia has the 2 on 1.

The ball was already in the air. Quinn threw it when Moore cut. Quinn can't know Moore is going to stay so far inside. He isn't supposed to do that. Yes, if Quinn holds on to the ball longer, he can adjust the throw. But I'm pretty sure Sark wants Quinn throwing with anticipation at the break rather than holding on to the ball. Criticize him for under throwing it. Don't criticize him for things that would be bad football (holding on to the ball). Bad throw, bad route. 

I see QBs throw this ball all the time better than Quinn. Just a shit throw and shit placement by Quinn.

Quinn has a hell of an arm. That is one of the most frustrating things about his game. The Worthy out route vs Bama as  freshman was a throw half the NFL Qbs cannot make. Texas was running 18 yard curls last year (dont see them much this year for some reason). That is because of his ability to put it on a rope in the intermediate game. Those were the throws that had him a 5 star QB and an expected top 10 pick preseason. It is frustrating, because he rarely uncorks it. He tends to feather the ball most the time. Probably part of the reason he has struggled in the red zone. The ability to drive the ball is certainly in him for some reason he does not do it.

Because he's a pussy.

 

 

Honestly it's because all he does is throw with his arm. On his really good throws is when he finally decides he wants to use his mechanics with feet and etc. When he throws the shitty floaters or shitty layered passes it's because it's an all arm throw with feet parallel to the LOS.

 

This is Quinn, this is who Quinn is. Absolutely clean pocket.

 

This was the underthrow to a WIDE OPEN WINGO. The result was a pass interference because it was so underthrown the DB ran into Wingo who basically had to stop running to attempt to catch the ball.

So it was a post to pylon or a curl to the pylon?  Sure, Ok….  Looks much more like adjusting to a bad pass than a planned deep pass to the front corner of the end zone.  If I’m throwing a post I wouldn’t throw it to the front corner of the end zone.

It is a slot fade. Moore has to fade harder to the sideline. He was running the route 8-10 yards inside of where he is supposed to be (closer to the back corner pylon, about 2-3 yards from the sideline). Quinn threw the ball about 2 yards from the sideline and about 4 yards into the endzone. The ball needed to be 8 yards into the endzone. Look how Cook ran it in the Arch player posted earlier. He gets right along the side line, not 10 yards away in the middle of the field. The reason he has to adjust so much outside is because he wasn't where he was supposed to be. Not good pass. Not a good route. Either of them get it better, and there is a shot of TD. Both of them get it better, and it is an easy TD.

QB has to adjust his throw to what receiver gives him....plain and simple.

Absurd, effortless arm strength.   Not crazy athletic but good enough.   He was a stud at Southlake.  Maybe injuries and confidence have brought him down a notch or two

He's a shell of himself athletically to what he was.

He was good at Southlake but I wouldn't call him a stud. I think they've had about 2-3 QBs better than him at that school. 

His last full healthy season was his sophomore season in HS, that's insane to think about.

Again, you can't adjust if you've already thrown the ball. Our offense relies on receiver and QB being on the same page. This is like getting mad at a QB for throwing a deep out when the receiver doesn't cut and just continues up field. The route is based on timing, the QB throws before the receiver makes a move. If the receiver doesn't run the out, it isn't on the QB for not adjusting. That's all I'm saying. The throw is still short. But you're getting mad about the wrong thing. Ok, you're not actually getting mad. You're just trolling again. I always forget.

He had all the time in the world and he threw after the break....not before or during. Because he does his patented double tap throw.

Quinn throws the ball shortly after this but at the time of break(which I was told) Quinn was holding the ball. He did not throw the ball at the break or prior to. As Dahobbs has pointed out the ball should have been to the back of the endzone, not toward the front, period.

He is half way through his motion when Moore cuts.

The ball is in the air right now (you can see his arm is fully extended). 

 

Right after this, Moore then turns to inside shoulder and drifts inside as he does rather than continue to fade to the sideline. Moore messed up the route. You can't ask your QB to hold on to the ball to adjust to a route error. The throw was short. The route was wrong. Both of those things happened. Either of them don't, we have a shot at a TD. I don't know why you are unable to accept this.

Nope, ball is in hand when Moore takes his next step and he's prepares to throw. At this point 24 is beat and the ball HAS to be to the back of the endzone. Just an incredibly shitty throw.

Moore starts his break here and would you look at that....the ball is at Quinns chest not even starting his motion.

Nope, Moore straigtens his route to look over his left should for no good reason and thus is well inside the throw.  Be honest for once in your pathetic life.

I don't think it's that effortless since he rarely shows it, unless you define arm strength by distance and not velocity.

Every time you post this clip you are proving @Dahobbs and @jimmyjazz's point. Arch's ball is thrown a couple yards from the sideline. Nowhere near where Moore was running. Moore ran the route incorrectly. Cook ran the route correctly. @BurntOrange&White knows this. The throw wasn't perfect but it wasn't a "horrible ball". If you look at the post with the ball in the air it was in line with Moore's initial release.

I guess that's kinda true but damn we should've had these threads during the 5/6 win seasons. I am pretty grateful for the guy. He gave us a glass of water when we crossed the Sahara. Since it's Christmas here are things I am grateful for Quinn for.

Quinn has led us to more conference championship games than VY or Colt.

Quinn has the second best record vs OU of VY or Colt.

Quinn had the second best ccg game performance behind VY.

Depending what he does the rest of the way he could be the first or second most successful Texas QB in our lifetime. We focus so much on his flaws that we fail to see what he is good at, why opposing defenses scheme against the passing game before all else, and why he made all SEC which is voted on by the coaches. I learned my lesson during Simms/Applewhite. Hopefully the rest do too before this dude decides to never come back to the 40 again.

Nah.....college athletes now and in the near future are going to be semi-professional athletes. Revenue sharing out front shoulda told ya. NIL deals out front shoulda told ya. The day of treating them like "student athletes" is long gone.....They are to be treated like professionals. So if they don't produce then they deserve every bit of shit they get. Once revenue sharing hits football and basketball(Schloss says that is where most revenue sharing is going to go because they are revenue generating sports) these "student athletes" are employees.

Bold choice for sure. Acting like Arch is Tebow is certainly a choice

If you are a talented team, which I think it’s safe to assume every team in the playoffs feels they are, then you would press/pressure every young inexperienced QB that comes into a game, until they prove multiple times that you shouldn’t. 
 

It’s not about inability, it’s about speeding up the decision making process and putting hits on a young player who hasn’t experienced a lot of that.

Less talented teams may have a different approach.
