Good luck Quinn. I honestly think that initial injury vs Bama fucked his velocity up and he was never the same. His pocket presence and processing better improve or he’ll be out the NFL within a few years.

Dallas Turner burying him like that really fucked him up mentally and physically.

I can’t make you understand. In no way am I saying I could do it. Im not saying I am good enough or have ever been in that situation. I’m simply saying you act like no one here understands pressure in sports. Plenty of people do.

He handled it poorly, as many people would. That’s why very few are chosen to play Qb at Texas. We shouldn’t expect them to have the reactions of internet message board has beens

Thanks I try. I guess instead of protecting the ball the better play was to give up a strip sack for a TD.  Crazy stuff to think a quarterback should understand to not turn the ball over. 
Is that yalls best argument? I couldn’t do it so I can’t  say Quinn should. I promise if you pay me millions of dollars to play quarterback at Texas I’ll only fumble it because I’m a bitch, not because I am trying to do something stupid.

Who’s “y’all?” I’m just enjoying the bickering that’s getting nowhere

Is your contention Tom Brady never made mistakes? I bet if you asked him he’d say he should have protected the football. That’s even ignoring the field position difference in the two plays.

Did Quinn make a mistake on that play or not? That’s the argument you’re attempting to have.

@jimmyjazz imagine if before the play Quinn and Sark can talk through all possible scenarios of what would happen. What do you think the last thing the coach would say is? I bet it’s something like “no matter what, don’t turn the ball over. If we get stopped our defense can get us the ball back.”

You can be a dickhead all you want but there’s one thing that is the worst outcome and Quinn did that one thing.

What?  Of course not.  My point is that even the best QBs can fail in that moment.

Field position means nothing -- the Patriots were down late in the 4th quarter in the fucking SUPER BOWL and Tom Brady took a strip sack.

My point is that it happens and you girls seem to think Quinn is unique in this regard.  ("Regard" being the operative word here.)  He thought he could get the pass off, he overestimated his ability in that moment.  Wah.  It happens.  Lighten the fuck up and be grateful that we're solidifying our status in the top 4 of college football.

And like you, I hold John Wayne in the Mount Rushmore of my personal actors. Just saying both were great in their own right, but in different times and eras. Kind of like saying who was better between Street and VY. Both immortals IMO, but that’s my opinion.

Hook’em!!!

I can appreciate some good, honest diplomacy.  I play favorites but generally lean towards not running players down.

 

And I too like John Wayne.

Yes they can fail in that moment and Quinn failed. So why are you pretending he didn’t?

You’re being an intentionally obtuse asshole instead seeing the clear point being made. The right play is the right play. He made the wrong one. No one thinks it’s unique to Quinn, but that doesn’t mean we pretend that he didn’t fuck up. 
 

Instead of doing this stupid ass “oh you just don’t get it” thing you could have just said, yea he made a bad play and moved on. Shit maybe bads not even the right word. But he made the wrong play for sure.

Didn’t Quinn say he thought he could get the pass off?

he could have just lobbed it up in the EZ towards Helm and the other receiver as a last resort to give someone a chance but given how fast the DE got there.

I'm not pretending he didn't fail in the sense that he didn't protect the ball.  I'm saying it's not particularly unusual and that he had help in that play breaking down.  And, ultimately, I want my QB thinking he can make the play rather than one who turns turtle and doesn't even try.  We are talking a very thin line here.

I want a quarterback to understand the situation. Quinn didn’t.

Field position meant literally everything on that play.

No he didn’t. I’m sure people blamed him also. So now your point is we shouldn’t blame people when they screw up?

And you call ME an asshole?  Fuck you, I'm done.  You're too dim to understand the argument.  Brady gave away the SUPER BOWL and you're saying that somehow it's less important because it wasn't in the red zone?  Holy shit.

'night all.

What? That’s your interpretation of what I’m saying? Ok then. I’m saying inside the ten yard line, simply taking the sack means we still have a chance. Brady didn’t have that same luxury. 
The Super Bowl vs the CFP is completely irrelevant. The Super Bowl is more important to Tom Brady and the CFP is more important to Quinn. 
Im saying you’re an asshole because instead of having the actual discussion you resorted to some “oh you guys just can’t understand” thing.

this is awesome. could you imagine the board if Quinn tucked the ball and took the sack there? the guy tried to make a play and didn’t, worst possible outcome happened which i didn’t even consider as a possibility before the snap because of how unlikely it was. complete no win situation for him there and it never should have gotten to that point. That sequence was a microcosm of our offensive failures this year. OL got their asses whipped 3 of 4 plays, Sark ran a couple of slow developing plays on the fucking goal line that completely backfired, and Quinn turned the ball over. the trifecta.

When the defense forced a pick six from Howard, or a punt return TD from SIlas, you would be talking about the sack that Quinn took when his RT got whipped and we used the field position and our chance to make the most of the situation to tie the game back up and go to OT?

Fuck this take. 

He didn’t win the heisman like we expected but he played his best ball in the playoffs. He was 2 plays away from 2 championship game appearances. His record speaks for itself.

Would you rather have Hudson Card? David Ash? Case McCoy? Casey Thompson? Swoopes? Heard? Who am I missing?

Modern Texas football QB Rushmore is VY, Colt, QE, Sam. We can debate the rankings but come the fuck on.

Hes played with 4 NFL backs: bijan, jb, roschon, keilan; 4 NFL receivers: worthy, whitt, AD, JT…not counting Gunnar who’ll go also.

In year 1 all 9 of those guys were on the roster at the same time. 

Since colts time, theres been a total of 5 offensive players drafted, and thats counting Geoff Swaim. 

Unfortunately quinn is the teams ceiling, not its floor.

Golden is wide open on the crossing route on the bottom. The ball needs to be out already but Quinn is looking for a receiver on the left side of the field overloaded with defenders.

He had 2 1000's after the snap to get rid of the ball. Go count them. You cannot throw this ball short of the end zone. There are two free defenders guarding the EZ. You throw this ball to Golden and he is tackled short. It's 4th down. Ball has to go to the EZ.

Because you don't get it. Your lack of understanding of the razor thin margin for success given the situation says you've never been in anything like that. There is no understanding with you guys. At all. He throws it away he is ass. He tucks and falls he is ass. He tries to run and gets tackled at the 5 he is ass. The moment Cam Williams did what he did the season was over unless by some miracle Quinn got an accurate pass off just before he got hit. He tried and failed. It is what it is. The problem is blaming the QB for failing in a near impossible situation than why the situation happened in the first place. 

You are the guy who blames the person who didn't avoid the wrong way driver on the highway. You are the guy who blames the sexual assault victim for how she was dressed. You are the guy who blames the parents for naming their kid Tyrone because his application got thrown in the trash as soon as they read it. Blaming the driver who got T-boned while passing through a green light. Blaming the security guard for getting shot in a robbery. Now I know you well enough to know you aren't that guy but you see how this is the same right?

Who gives a shit? The 2nd down play call was not Quinn and that was the game. 

In two semifinals, we are 0 for 8 on calling the Touchdown Play at the critical juncture, with an average result of -1 point per play (rounded). 

This is not our preferred Standard.

i don’t know what you’re trying to say here, but if Quinn takes that sack this entire board would be calling for his head on a pike and there’s not a single person who could say otherwise. I’d be among them. That ball has to get thrown in that situation regardless of the outcome. If the RT was able to be something more than a traffic cone that the DE simply runs by then ball gets in the air and we live with the results. Instead, the DE gets to Quinn in his throwing motion, they get the absolute perfect bounce, and the season was over.

We don’t know what Quinn’s reads are in this situation and if it’s left to right, Cam gave him absolutely no time. But if you look at their alignment over the top, the safety is going to scream down on golden. He’s not wide open in this situation. IMG_3052.thumb.jpeg.8b7a987311a3997a653c14d0520d6a4b.jpeg
Wingo was also running underneath Gunnar which takes a little bit of time.

How does this happen? Was there some miscommunication from the center or QE or what? Someone explain what could have been going through his head to not know sawyer was his responsibility

He was hurt to a point that he probably shouldn’t have been in the game but we’re talking about the most flagged olinemen in the nation. You would hope 5 could manage 4 in that situation. Cam and Connor got embarrassed in less than a second with the season on the line.

Best Texas QB since Sam...

Guy just looks lost when he has to make a decision after the snap.  So many of his sacks and bad throws are from normal pressure, ie. 3+ seconds.  

I really don't see him getting drafted on day 1-2, and it's hard to see him being successful in the NFL as a starter or even being a career backup.  He won't be returning to Fansville or Austin, but he should not enter the draft.

I took a lot of shit from people for saying he wouldn't be drafted after last season but I can see him being a late draft pick maybe in the 6th round. He's not NFL ready. There's just no way he's going to join an NFL roster and immediately have anything resembling success. My best hope for him is he gets drafted by a team with hopes of developing him like they did with Aaron Rodgers. Sit him for 3 years and see what he can do.
