Just saw this pic of Quinn’s tie clip. Good to see he’s supporting our next Commander and Chief. No matter our affiliations I think it’s important to support our President

Isn't it appropriate to talk about it in this thread?

No, it isn't . Completely irrelevant to the football board. Hence the name of the board. This isn't the Quinn Ewers political affiliation thread inside the CR.

Do we need a welfare check on @BurntOrange&White?

Quinn played fine, Sark sees a lot more of Arch than we do.

or was it @HtownHorn 

You guys are hilarious. You guys literally must think Ewers is a fucking moron. Oh, he did his fucking job. Let's celebrate him like he did something special like 4th and 5. It's clear Sarkisian doesn't fully trust him at all, yet you guys are filling up jars because he underthrew a wide open receiver by 5 yards. 60 fucking yards in the 2H with mulitple horrible decisions and throws.

Funny, we run the ball well, we win, weird. I think I might have brought that up at some point.

Wait, you think this is 5 yards under thrown?

You’re conflating what people think about him with what they think about you.

[UTHornFan014 755]

I've been pretty critical of Ewers this year, but he played solid today. Had a miss on a 4th down play behind the WR and a weird decision to slide instead of throwing the ball in the stands on a play outside the pocket. Sark's playcalling seemed like a bigger problem today.

I just want to know for shits and giggles which decisions you thought were dumb? Seriously

The "sack" he took rather than throw it out of bonds was extremely dumb.  Other than that, he played a pretty clean game.  The interception was not his fault at all.  He took care of the ball and managed the game well.  He even made some plays with his legs.  The QE we got tonight can take us to to the "Final Four" but he needs to take it to another level to win it all.

1 horrible decision and 1 horrible throw is technically multiple, I guess.

[Hank_Hill 20013]

Can’t wait to see how @HtownHorn reacts to a decent to good game from Ewers against ASU. “oh that fucking idiot did his big fancy quarterbacking job well and y’all are happy about it? lol fucking nerds, I definitely don’t hate him or myself tho 😏”

If a player that usually throws the ball in the stands doesn't there will usually be a reason. Looked to me like RPO. Line is running blocking so you have to pull the ball and throw it immediately as to not get called for linemen downfield. Saw something he didn't like and aborted the throw and left the pocket. At that point any throw, inbounds or not, past the LOS is a penalty.

By NFL standards, this guy could start next week.

This site/Longhorn fans make me laugh my ass off.

I hope we win the title and Quinn does just enough to win each game.   Quinn prolly gets his number on the stadium if that happens and a select number of fans rage every time they see it at DKR lmfao. 

3 yesterday was good enough to take us where we wanna go.  Like it’s mentioned up above, this team, offensively, goes as the OL and RBs go.  Hell it’s always been that way with Sark.  Quinn is a game manager similar to the likes of McElroy/McCarron in the early bama years .  Some of y’all act like every 60 yard bomb from him should be right on the hands of a receiver.   He’ll throw a few good ones and he’ll under throw a few too, it is what it is.  He’s gonna be under center the rest of the ride, and at this point, you know what he is.

What?  We had nearly 500 yards of offense.

Sark in his post game said he was "kicking himself" a couple of times about decisions he made in the game. Babers in post-game was talking about Sark needing to improve as a playcaller. 

If you don't want to get in the weeds about this stuff, fine. But let the rest of us.  We are Texas fans. This is what we do. For decades.

I liked his opportunistic scrambles. “Playoff Quinn” under that this is single elimination, win or go home, no tomorrow. We can win with this play. 

[Jkwellborn 7033]

Quinn also audibled and called the running plays on both of our rushing touchdowns. That must really piss you off.  

Has he had the ability to do that all season or was that something new for the playoff?

[closetohumping 17809]

Quinn was good though I don’t think it was a performance that I would use to gloat over the haters

I would assume so. This from ESPN:

Running back Jaydon Blue, who struggled with an ankle injury early in the season and missed the UTSA game, reeled off 38- and 77-yard scoring runs, both on audibles called by quarterback Quinn Ewers, who finished 17-of-24 passing for 202 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

[jimmyjazz 47131]

A little food for thought -- Quinn has played in 12 games this year, and his season QBR is 148.  Clemson was his 6th best game as measured by that stat (147).  It was his best game of the last 5.  (Florida was his best game of the year at 235.)

No conclusions, just some perspective.  I do like the fact that he seems to be rounding back into form, and against a pretty decent defense, too.

Good points…except the retired number thing. That’s officially reserved for winners of at least one major National Player of the Year (at least to my recollection)

He played well. The 4th down misfire felt huge at the time. He looked comfortable in the pocket and I’ll take that all day

100% this

We just watched a game where the guy on the other side, with way less talent against way harder competition, (often) looked absolutely brilliant and we're jumping with joy over a B- performance. It was fine. It was good enough to beat the #12 seed in the 12-team playoff. Anyone who looks at it and genuinely thinks Oregon, Georgia, and Ohio State should be scared are delusional.

It's good enough, hopefully. And I do hope it continues and improves so my Longhorns win it all. And when they do, I'll be very appreciative of Quinn's efforts and play. We were sold Lando Norris but we got Gus the Bus Driver. I'm very happy Gus is driving the bus fairly well and I believe Gus can drive that bus to the NC. But don't try to make me think Gus is anything but Gus.

Thanks, Gus.
