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


Coach pop a bitch

This.  Perfectly analogous to Simms in 99.  The top QB in the country - who could have gone ANYWHERE - joins a UT that had been floundering and underperforming, and makes it a LOT easier for Texas to recruit five-star guys on both sides of the ball. 
 

The monster roster that went 25-1 over 04 and 05 might not have been assembled without that (unlikely) first domino.  
 

Hopefully the analogy continues with a Texas MNC here in the next couple years.  

This.  Similar feelings about Quinn as I have about Simms.  The best thing he did was commit to UT.  Similar effects.  Similar feelings of disappointment and that he should have been better.  Frustrating moments of failure, but overall was really damned good.

He may be surpassed in the years to come with Sark's QB whisper reputation, but right now, he's top 4 QB at Texas (Colt, VY, Sam, Quinn) by the numbers.  He did all that in 35 games started, well behind Colt (53) and Sam (43) 

Didn’t realize the start differential was that drastic. That makes everything even more impressive and the idiots more idioter.

Simms was 26-6 as a starter and lost a defacto semifinal game.  the problem for Simms is he was basically the reason for the loss. IMO, VY/Colt then Quinn, Simms, then Major/Sam/James Brown in any order you'd like.  I like Sam but he had unfortunate timing.

be nice if Manning passes all of them.

Akers/McWilliams era is tough on QB's since it was still basically a running offense for Texas then

Yep. Had to include that he did all of that in 3 years with way fewer starts. Makes it much more impressive

Holy shit, it seems amazing we got 43 starts out of Sam. If someone and asked me to guess I would have said Ewers surely played at least 10 more games. Also makes me feel old.

This is fucking solid.

Dude never steps up in the pocket or moves at all so it’s almost impossible to block for. The end goes speed rush around the outside every time because there’s no threat of Quinn taking that wide open running lane inside of him. 

Someone should’ve told Cam this so he’d know how to block it since they do it “every time”. Should’ve got on the phone bro.

My eyes did. Watch the 2022 tape and then watch what he started doing in 2023 (start with his moonball deep ball against Alabama). This was a clear adjustment to Quinn's game to get something from the deep ball. 

Agreed. The weird thing is he seems not to have trouble with accuracy down the right sideline putting it on a line and he can make the intermediate outs to both sidelines without any trouble but fuck a post. 
 

Also oblique injuries can linger. Will be interesting to see his pro day performance

#3 or #4 seems to be right in line with the ceiling of teams he leads.  Very good.  Just shy of greatness.  I’ll be interested to see how he does in the pro game.  If he can stay healthy, have less amplitude in the sine wave of his intensity and wants to eat, drink, shit and piss football he can have a career with a team.  I hope he does it.

People writing well-wishes and other heartfelt messages on here like the player will ever see them is so funny to me. 
 
Dude was a great QB for us and gave it his all.  That’s everything needed to be said

This is wrong, good or bad posts from forums. If one particular player being called out doesn’t see it, friends or teammates will forward it to them. And I know this from a younger brother of a great d1 player that is friends with my kiddo. They see it.

No wonder Ewers had such an up and down year. He read way too much surly. I bet it was my post about benching him in favor of Arch that shook his confidence and cost us the title. My bad guys.

This is correct. Players see more than people think. There are many talking heads lurking as well.

I think people forget what Sam did

43 starts:

923-1476, 11,436 yards, 94 Tds and 27 int. rushed 554 att, 1903 yds, 33 Tds, with 3 fumbles. That is a 127 TDs and 30 turnovers. That is 1 turnover per 67.7 touches vs a TD every 16 touches. Averaged 266 yards/game, which is more than Colt and Ewers. Averaged 3 TDs a game over his career. Managed to do all that and never missed a start his last 3 years, despite being Herman's short yardage sledge hammer

At least 2 former Texas volleyball players left in part bc of the fan vitriol on message boards - Jhenna Gabriel and reportedly Averi Carlson. They read this shit or their family/friends do and it gets sent to them
