No way I would ever put Major or Simms above Colt, and probably not above Layne or Street.

Sark's been setting the table the whole season with that play. We'll run something that starts out looking like that play, the defense will bite, and then it will be BOOM! so long it's been good to know ya, sayonara etc ....

5-D chess

This was literally the case in the championship game in the 4th quarter where a touchdown wins and field goal ties. The wheel route was wide open and Quinn had 0.07 seconds to get the ball out.

Thankfully, NFL fans treat their QBs with the utmost respect and gratitude.

I don't doubt that, at times, it probably isn't super enjoyable to be the QB at Texas. But you know what you are signing up for when you come here, and if you want to play football at the highest level, you need to get used to the spotlight and scrutiny. Yes, the Manning stuff adds an extra layer to the entire thing, but let's not act like there weren't people saying they were ready to start the Casey Thompson era after the 2020 Alamo Bowl and they were ready to turn the page from the Ehlinger chapter. Even the more celebrated QB's in Texas history went through some shit. John Chiles needs to replace Colt McCoy! I'm sure the talk shows and message boards will be mellow and reasonable the first time Manning has a poor performance next year.

Among all Longhorn QBs, Ewers will finish his career as 3rd all-time in passing yards and passing touchdowns. 2nd all-time in Passing Efficiency Rating (147.6), only trailing Colt McCoy (155.0) and 2nd all-time in the percentage of attempts intercepted (2.1%), just behind Sam Ehlinger (1.8%)

Show some damn respect.

Nolan Ryan has the record for most strikeouts (5,714), most ho-hitters (7), most complete-game 1-hitters (12), fastest pitch ever thrown (108.5 MPH!), and a bunch of other good records in baseball.  He also has the record for most walks (2,795), and a number of other "modern baseball" bad records along with bad fielding percentage, bad wins/losses, bad on stolen bases, etc.  He also has the most badass fight on the mound EVER - at the age of 46. 

Stats are fun.

Back then the term FAFO wasn't mainstream.  Now the title would be "Young Guy FAFOd, Old Guy Had Fun."

Over the years both Ryan and Ventura (together) signed a bunch of those framed pictures.  It is an all-time classic.  I've watched the video again at least 3 times today, laughing every time.  Then I think about Frank Thomas (who was in that video in the fight) now doing commercials for testosterone boner pills and I laugh some more.  "She'll like it too..." - Good times.

Who is insulting Arch. I am calling it how it is. Listen to you all. Dude is in the quarters of the CFP and y'all are ready to jettison this dude into the sun no matter the outcome of this season because you think the guy behind him is better than he is with no proof of that other than two games vs the two worst opponents on our schedule.

Colt threw 18 interceptions in 2007 and hadn't done anything great up until then. Ewers threw 6 picks last year, won the big 12, got us into the CFP, and almost the championship game despite us letting the opposing QB throw for 430 yards on us. It's one thing to not be good. Players know when they can't play and accept their lot in life for the most part. But to already be the 3rd in almost every category. To have taken your school to two straight conference championship games, and two straight CFPs? That's a shit sandwich for someone who has helped get us back on the mountain top.

In my lifetime the most hated QBs on the 40 were Simms, Ewers, and Gilbert in that order. One of these things is not like the other. Ewers is 2-1 vs OU. He threw for 452 and and 358 in his two conference championship appearances. Even last year in the CFP game. He didn't hit the last throw but dude threw for 318 and no picks. Win at a high rate. Beat OU. Get us to conference championships. Ewers has done all three and we still dislike him.

Agree with the overall message of your post, but Gilbert was literally booed off the field. Think you might be underselling that just a bit.

I’m not hard pushing for arch to replace him.   It’s too late now but I don’t think Quinn should come back to us next year.  I don’t want to lose three years of Arch for a year of Quinn.  
 

But I was in the stands. Quinn got a lot of praise and cheer.  However his stats show he’s slightly above mid. The guys we make fun of, Klibnik, Allar Nico etc have similar numbers.  Instead of acknowledging that you guys dog our other players

 

Also let’s be real our qb lineage ain’t exactly world class.

I can get why he wants to move on. I can also get why that shouldn’t bother him. Both can be true. I forgot his record something like 20-5. And we still bitch about him. The whole fan base screams like little girls when arch comes in. He’s taken us to the playoffs 2x. Our best qb in a while. There’s nothing he can do to make all of us like him, winning the championship maybe but then some will say well if arch was in we would’ve blown out more teams.


This is why I always felt bad for him. We always want the next person. I tried to stick with him as long as I could But it started to fade for me after Georgia the 1st time. His play speaks for itself.

I really do want him to win the championship so he can stick it to the whole fan base though.

[Hank Kingsley 21808]

Quinn has overall been treated very well by the coaching staff, players, and fanbase.  Whatever criticism there's been over the last 3 years is practically standard protocol for any blueblood QB.

We aren't Alabama. There aren't 5 stars everywhere. The only 5 stars are the QB, a receiver that has been largely a disappointment to this point, and a couple linemen. Bama was better than you at every single position on both sides of the ball.

Career, week,  year, doesn't matter, not true, not compared to the entire country. He is easily top 1/3rd and top ten in some statistics. I guess it depends on your definition of "slightly above average". I guess Arch must be an average QB if he is getting splinters behind some JAG.

Except we had a team record 11 guys drafted last year. And we’ll have several more taken this year. 

Please stop acting like Quinn’s supporting cast isn’t a critical ingredient of the success we’ve had during his run as QB1. He’s benefited from a significant increase in our talent floor combined with a consistent coaching staff and offensive scheme. A guy like Ehlinger never had any of that. 

Quinn has plenty of skins on the wall, but he sure as shit didn’t hang them up all by himself.

This doesn’t even tell the full story.  We’ve had the top back taken 2 years running.  The fastest combo of WRs at the NFL combine ever.  Is this the first ever we’ve had TEs taken in back to back years?

And not to mention our defense relatively speaking has been better than the offense all 3 years.  Is it the best 3 year run defensively in 40 years?

His play style is very different. The eye test is more favorable for him because he feels pressure and runs (while still looking to pass) 

His creativity allows for more production when the play isn’t there.

 

 

 

Quinn did sweet shit like this before he got hurt.

That’s the Quinn we all want

 

 

[C-Man 27817]

Unless I can’t count…the guy has 7 TDs and 6 turnovers (4 INTs and 2 fumbles) in the last 5 games since Florida. We are 103rd in TD% in the red zone on the year. I highly implore his strongest backers to listen to guys like Todd McShay and Bruce Feldman who reacted after this weekend’s games. The consensus is pretty resoundingly “he’s…fine, but something is just not quite right” with our passing game given his pedigree and they’re both wishy-washy on Texas’s ultimate chances at a title unless he starts producing near his ceiling for 4 straight quarters in these games. These are national / neutral college football heads who have the same skepticism as a lot of us do.

I’m convinced he’s just been hurt all year. That’s really the most likely explanation. The abdominal early in season bothered him after coming back probably sooner than he should have. Then, that’s probably about fully healed and he sprains his ankle badly vs Kentucky. Mix in some between-the-ears shit as NFL guys are concerned about his injury history and he’s falling out of the first round of the Draft. For somebody who has been building to be drafted highly since he was a sophomore in HS, I wouldn’t be surprised if that wasn’t playing a part in this.

Though Klubnik outplayed him ultimately at QB, I think Ewers looked pretty good on Saturday. Of course it helps when Blue and Wisner are running all over Clemson. I can quibble with a few throws but overall, I think he was good. He had a big scramble that extended a crucial TD drive and that was great to see. I’ve come to grips with the fact that we aren’t likely to see any jaw-dropping play from him the rest of the way because of the health thing. If we can beat ASU, the next round will tell the tale on Ewers.

[BurntOrange&White 42002]
