On Sirius they have all dismissed Quinn as not being a legit draft choice. It is really weird how hard they are going against him. Only E J Emanuel has a positive take on him. Not saying he is perfect but who is? It is funny, they have Howard and Allard as a better prospect. Laughable really. 

Quinn’s got this!

But Street is quite literally responsible for the win that got us a national title. That game is essentially Texas/USC Vince 4th and 5.....Obviously 4th and 5 is the best play in program history. But prior to that Street/Peschel was that play. That play and Streets season/game had stood until VY as best in program history. You're brain is so rotted from statistics you can't even put Street, that game, his performance in context of the programs history. 

 

 

IMO if Arch wins a national player of the year and 16 gets retired, they should also honor Street within that number retirement.

Peschel and the line had something to do w it. Koy scored it I think .

This is correct. And it is mind-blowing that posters compare passing stats....and cannot appreciate context, significance of games, etc.

-- 1969 Texas-Arky was the USC-Texas game of the 1960s!

-- Texas-Notre Dame Cotton Bowl that followed was almost equally huge as the Irish decided to play in bowl games for the first time in decades. (They had not played in bowls claiming it harmed amateur status, etc. ... till the TV money got too big to turn down.)

-- For the above reasons, both games were in top 2-3 games of the ENTIRE DECADE.

Street completed HUGE 4th down passes in final minutes on both games to give Texas the chance to win, which they did. 

The TV audiences for these games were enormous, far bigger than Texas-USC. 

 

Below is a cross-post from the All-Time Texas QB Thread. This applies to any Texas QB in comparison to Street, except VY.

 

There are three points of comparison at play in Quinn vs. Street. 

1. Best stats vs. Greatest. Big difference! 

2. Points per game... isn't that a key stat for all you stat fanboys?

3. Revolutionary QB. Who was a truly revolutionary QB and who has best flashy stats?

----------------

1. Best stats vs. Greatest.

-- There is a huge difference between best QB with flashy yardage stats .... and greatest QB with fucking titles and undefeated. 

 Biggest difference between Street and Ewers?

-- Given 4 shots to win against Washington last year: Street hits a fucking pass to win the game!  (Same with VY: we all know he gets UT a score to win game). 

-- Or Street runs it in himself like he did with first TD vs. Arky in 1969. One of the most epic QB runs in UT history. 

-- Street was not only undefeated, but won two of the very biggest games of an entire decade.

That's the difference -- a playmaker, clutch performer in EPIC games. No losses, no disappearing acts, no sitting on bench looking lost. Cool 60's sideburns, no redneck mullet. Lol.

Just a damn fucking big-game winner. Every time. 20-0. That's an all-time great.

--------------

2. Points per game.

Sure, QE hit the pass to save this season vs. ASU. Epic play, no doubt. All due credit. 

-- If QE leads UT to title, he will likely move into #3 spot behind VY and Street. Titles matter for greatness vs. stats. QE vs Colt is another post.

-- But QE's also been completely shut down in other big games (TCU 2022, Georgia 2024) leading to key losses on national TV. QE looked utterly lost. That never happened with Street. 

-- And QE's offense is not scoring any more points per game than Casey and Card! 

-- If QE is so great, why isn't offense scoring more points than Casey? When Street took over the wishbone, the offense scoring exploded for his two seasons. QE takes over and points/game stays same.

---------------

3. Street was a revolutionary QB. 

-- Street led an innovative offense that truly revolutionized college football.

-- Considered by ESPN to be the most important offense of all-time. And Street showed everyone how to do it. 

---------------

TLDR: Summary.

Street was 20-0, won MNC, won the most EPIC national games of decade, and was the UT QB who showed everyone how to run a revolutionary college offense. Plus, Street had those cool 60's sideburns!

For all his stats, QE can't sniff that.

As I recall, Street threw wobbily passes (as did Staubach). Pretty sure the one to Big Play Peschel was no exception. Street didn't pass all that much and Peschel didn't catch all that many passes. Seems it was fourth down and a handful of yards and nobody expected what amounted to a bomb. Everybody's heart stopped when Street let fly. With two D-backs draped all over him, RP made the catch.

I hope they are playing this shit in Quinn’s ear over and over.  Fire him up to go kick some ass.

I don’t know - guess I would like QB1 and his NIL team to read the room and perhaps act as if he was focused on winning rather than whoring himself out before one of the biggest games he is ever going to play in…

Yea, weird that they would pull trigger on an ad at a time when more eyes are on his social media. You sound retarded.

You do know that was done a long time ago and he has nothing whatsoever to do with the execution or media placement. Yes, I know you did. I was just checking.

Like several of us have said, if football fans watched other QBs with as critical an eye as they watch their own, there would be a lot less bitching on fan forums. Imagine being a Texas fan who thinks Quinn Ewers is a below average P4 QB.

Is he perfect? No. Does he make mistakes? Yes. But he's a shit ton better than most college QBs and makes fewer mistakes than they do, too.

But nobody said they wanted Drew Allar or Riley Leonard. The criticisms of Quinn weren't couched in wanting some other team's QB. We just happen to have a starter and backup that were both considered #1 prospects out of HS. It's a good problem to have I guess. But let's be clear that specifically having Arch Manning on this team is why Quinn gets more heat from Texas fans. Is that fair? Maybe not. Is it understandable? Yes, IMO. 

FTR, I think Quinn will play his best tomorrow and lead us to victory. But the chest puffing because some dipshit QBs for PSU and ND sucked is dumb.

Multiple dipshits posting various statistical rankings of playoff QBs and using it as a data point against Ewers deserve it.

I missed those posts, fair enough. 

One thing I'll say is this has to be worst year of college QB play I can remember. Maybe some end up being great NFL QBs down the line. But absolute dogshit this season.

It’s almost as if a good number of the QBs at some of the highest profile places are 4th 5th and even 6th year guys that if they were really badass would have already been in the league (looking at you Will Howard ,Dillon Gabriel, et al)

I’m watching Drew Allar and trying to imagine how anyone could possibly think he was the superior QB.

Allar is a guy that (I guess) has the skills and the measurables the NFL wants but he can’t “play” quarterback. He was god-awful tonight. Leonard was much better in the second half but neither of these guys are anywhere close to Quinn when he’s healthy and playing well. Leonard’s running ability adds quite a bit to his effectiveness (I realize I’m not exactly breaking news there).

I can’t believe there were people saying Allar was better than Quinn earlier this year.

They have been saying this bullshit this week, all over Sirius XM. Also been saying that tOSU defense is better than ours. I know these analysts go with the flow but it is like none of them actually watch games.

Nobody is puffing their chests out, that's a weird thing to say. The only thing I said is that posts saying Ewers is a below average QB are moronic takes because they are. 

And it's also pretty dumb to say he only takes heat because Manning is on the bench; David Ash took heat when Case McCoy was the other option. Ash was easily the only decent option when his brain wasn't scrambled. Message board morons always blame the QB when the offense sputters, well to be fair it's actually all simple football fans it's just that we're on a message board. 

And yes, people did say they'd rather have any other playoff QB and that was before the playoffs even started so included those fantastic Jennings and Rourke performances. Just because you didn't say you'd rather have Allar or Leonard doesn't mean nobody did. 

So basically you were wrong about everything in your post but at least you say it intelligently unlike others around here.

I don’t think it’s a stretch to say OSU’s defense is better than Texas. It’s pretty much accepted that the Horns and Buckeyes are the two best and an argument can be made to list them 1-2 or 2-1 and you’re not entirely wrong.

I believe we played an extra game so our stats reflect that, could be some argument that we allowed more yards. But still, tOSU is not decisively better than ours like what is being tossed around.
