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

outside of Florida down the stretch of the season I've seen a starting QB be bad in the second half of games so much so the coach literally took the ball out of his hands to run clock. You can contrive some romanticism shit about Sark just inserting dominance or whatever the fuck you want, but reality is Quinn isn't good in the second half. 

 

Numbers don't lie

 

Haven’t we already pointed out that these games were so lopsided we weren’t trying to score?

I showed you a player decommitting due to social media. You then demanded the argument should change to a random person on twitter and not a coach is YOUR creation.

Come on man. You know there’s a difference between you and me going on Twitter and talking shit as opposed to a coach doing it. Obviously, to anyone with a couple of brain cells, the coach’s voice will carry more weight.

Yea it does. It doesn’t hurt my argument and only proves it.

I think it's a bit of both. His ceiling is higher, but he has to get out of his head or whatever is holding him back to reach that potential to go on a run. Maybe beating Clemson opens him up. But if not, we'll be relying on our D once again. At least it's legit..

Another thing, we have small RB's, so running between the tackles will be difficult, but not impossible. Quinn needs to stop leaning on his first read and find the field. Too many open WR's and he's missing them. 
 

You're also right- No one hates Quinn, they just get frustrated with his play, or lack thereof; I wish he would be a leader, but he is what he is. 

 

I don't think I would be as frustrated as I am if the hype surrounding him hadn't been as high as it was.

Which is somehow still an improvement over last year. Hey maybe in the redzone where the field shrinks and windows are tighter, we should use another QB on our roster that performs better in those situations. Our redzone scoring % was actually good the first half of the season, and a big part of that was Arch started 2 of those games and played the majority of another one.

[Tex Long 4,605]

It should be noted that Mack Brown knows the Belichick has $12meg available and errybody else knows Quinn is the closest thing we've seen to Tom Brady.

[Park Gothic 5,337]

I'm skeptical of any reporting on Ewers that doesn't come from Thamel.

I'm sure he does if you ask him.

But his point is 100% right. We have a top 5 OC (based on past data) and top-5 offensive talent based on recruiting rankings. There is no reason that Ewers shouldn't be putting up "otherworldly cheat code level" numbers. 

[Pam Cummings 9,819]

It's super convenient how when Maalik Murphy is his backup, he is very cautious about playing through an injury and willing to miss conference games. But when Arch Manning is his backup, suddenly he is Mr. Ironman and willing to trudge through all sorts of injury.

[Hank Kingsley 21,587]

Sark's "don't turn the ball over" offensive strategy with Quinn has generally failed. Needs to become the "go score lots of TDs" strategy starting...now.

Probably has more to do with the fact that he needs to prove he can fight through injuries and actually be available to play to the NFL.

You're right but I think that's his bigger point.

It's either a leak from his agent or that NFLRookieWatxh is completely full of shit because nobody is paying Ewers $4 million based on what he's done in college.

If Sark couldn't maximize Quinn's potential, there aren't many other coaches who can. Maybe kiffin or Riley? Why would any school risk millions for someone who couldn't live up to his expectation at Texas surrounded by NFL talent? I don't think he will get more than what he got this year. He is not considered a top QB any more.

[CurlyDumps 4,616]

Exactly. Quinn couldn't possibly find a better situation for a 1 year mercenary stint. He'll take his chances in the draft. Going pro is the better gamble. If he tries to play another year in college he could hurt his draft stock even more.

[jimmyjazz 46,942]

Low end signing bonus in the 1st round is ~ $5M-$6M.  A $4M college deal (if available) wouldn't suck, because few people think he's a Day 1 player any more.  I don't know at what point in the 2nd round the signing bonuses drop below $4M, and of course there is the guaranteed component of the rest of an NFL contract, but a transfer for good NIL money might not be the worst idea.  I just don't think he'll match whatever NFL money he can actually make.  Plus, injury risk.  

If he doesn't implode in the playoffs, go pro, dude.  Take what you get.

[Paper_jam 846]

Maybe he will just decide his best option is to continue playing here another year and get better to enhance his value for the NFL.

1) It's pretty clear that Texas is moving on to Manning next year. 

2) Ewers is going to want $. Like mentioned above, Ewers isn't worth what he's going to want. 

[Hank Kingsley 21,587]

Imagine believing there are programs thinking, "Let's double or triple the NIL money Quinn gets at Texas. We can fix him".

Spot on. Have we won a game because of Quinn this year? Can't think of one. But we've lost 2 directly because of him and he tried his hardest to lose to aggy.
