Holy shit, that's a lot of rationalization.

how do? there’s nothing controversial or inaccurate about what i said. QE played poorly for four quarters vs asu, and if our idiot kicker doesn’t miss a chip shot FG then quinn doesn’t get those last two TDs which game in drives where the ball started on the opposing 25 yard line. what about that is “rationalization”? it’s just facts.

Hard to stop a human wrecking ball for the entire fucking game when your offense has 8 minutes TOP in the first 4 quarters because they cant get a fucking first down against a Big 12 defense. 

Idk I think you should stop a midget from throwing a 40 yard TD and catching a 60 yard pass regardless. My expectations may be too high though.

If our kicker didn’t suck Ewers would’ve won the game in regulation like a bitch.

funny how with you QE cultists every win gets credited to QE while every loss is the fault of his better, more highly performing teammates. “ewers would have won the game”. right.

i don’t care how much a shit show that a thread becomes, the people who come into the thread to complain about how much the thread sucks are the dumbest people on this board. absolutely no one is making you enter this thread, and you already know what’s going on in here. coming in here to complain about what’s going on in here is even dumber than not being able to admit that QE was never one of our better players or claiming that it’s impossible to know if Arch was any better last than QE last season.

Who has said this after a loss Ewers played in? They seem real dumb.

Fuck you.  Seriously.  There's no "cult" here, it's just people trying to inject a little sanity into the narrative constantly pushed by Arch fanbois.

I hope Arch is WAY better than Quinn.  That would be a good thing.  If he's a little bit better, that would be a good thing, too. 

I root for Texas, and I don't knob-slob as a middle-aged man over some fucking kid.

Well, some of us enter this thread thinking it will be about Ewers and combine news…or other related Ewers information. After all, the title of the thread is not "Fecal Fight."

Agreed shitty throw. That isn’t multiple turnovers and isn’t why the defense let a bowling ball white RB buttfuck them. 

The defense shut him down if you don’t recall. He was scolding trainers and teammates in frustration on the sidelines from lack of success. The defense played way too many snaps, they were plugging the run and chasing Levitt all over the field. Eventually, they gassed out.

Seriously. I can acknowledge Ewers was bad to quite shitty at times. Just makes you wonder how much Arch was lacking last season not to be able to get Sark to trust him. Another offseason should be great for him.

look we’re not rewriting history here, and the only way you have an issue with this is if you’re looking for one.

quinn ewers, notoriously poor at moving the chains, driving the field, amd scoring touchdowns, did not play well for the four quarters of football where he was tasked with doing just that. at the end of regulation, everyone not named quinn or bert had played well enough to win the game. those two no-shows were the reason we didn’t win going away.

then, in OT, when we get spotted the ball at the opponents 25 yard line and sark can more or less dial up his TD plays, quinn completed a couple of basic pitch-and-catch throws and made his final stat line look much better than it otherwise would have.

again, that’s just facts. you might not like these facts, but that’s what went down. if you’re going to exasperatedly cite QE having a 3 TD day as an indicator that he played well, then it’s more than fair to add some context as to how and why it was 3 TD day, and not a 1 TD/1 int/should-have-been-two-or-three-int day where we barely scraped by the inarguably inferior asu on a chip shot fg as time expired.

But do you compare how you deal with injury to how a 21-year-old soon-to-be professional athlete deals with injury? I mean, can't argue in the face of objective proof like that, you know.

Crazy you’d take this stance. The defense consistently bailed out a stalling offense all-season. A&M, Arkansas, Kentucky, Vandy, SEC Title game, Arizona State, etc. Throwing them under the bus for a 3rd year QB with 17 turnovers in 14 games is interesting.

I'm not sure your point.  I really don't care how Quinn does in the pros.  I hope he gets drafted high and if he does well thereafter, great, it reflects well on the UT program, but as far as any investment in his future goes?  Nah.

It does raise an issue -- why is he "injury prone"?  Is it physiological?  Is it his style of play, perhaps related to his inability to navigate the pocket and avoid big hits?  I have no idea.

I'm always amazed by people who get rattled because football is being discussed on a football message board. We thought QE would be a generational talent. He wasn't. When healthy, he was a good college QB. He was rarely healthy. If you really think an injured Quinn was our best option last season, so be it. That opinion is going to look silly later this year.

Having a legit shot for a title, with the kind of defense we had last season, is a rare occurence. Opportunities like that need to be maximized.

Well he only had one turnover in that game and they got pantsed by Skattebo so idk what any other games have to do with it.

Sark played the guy he thought maximized that opportunity. People in non football related careers disagree. I know who I’m putting my money on.

A turnover at a very critical point of the game that led to Arizona state tying it up. Stop fucking diminishing that huge turnover on a shitty decision and shitty pass

102 defensive snaps. The dude had 46 rushing yards at half with a ton of attempts. If the offense could have stayed on the field, I bet his 2nd half performance wouldn’t have been nearly as productive.

I got love for Quinn. What he did to OU was incredible. He put it on A&M too, before he tried to give it to them. Great representative of the program as well. He was the catalyst for the roster upgrade under Sark too. There’s tons of reasons to praise Quinn’s time at Texas. His Jr year at Texas is not one of them in my opinion. We didn’t need the transcendent player the recruiting services said he was, just a steady hand to make a play or two. 17 turnovers in 14 games is ridiculous. Sam Ehlinger would have won a national title with this roster. Shane probably would have gotten it done too. I don’t even know why I’m contributing to this thread anymore, it just makes me sad. The Texas defense was great, no one pantsed them.

Blaming the defense for the ASU game isnt the flex you think it is. With Manning, that game wouldve been over in the 2nd quarter.

Lmao Shane

all we needed was a qb who could move the chains and not turn the ball over. just a prototypical game manager with some moxie. if he was actually an accurate passer then even better. but we did not need a whole lot from the qb position to win either of the last two titles, particularly this last one.

we just had one of the ~5 best defenses in school history, with all americans and future all americans/nfl starters at every level. we probably could have won the national title if we got a fg every on every drive. that’s how stifling our defense was. i doubt we’ve had another team in program history that less needed its qb to be great in order for the team to be great. you’re in here manically replying to every single post with some one-line, throw away BS as if it’s funny, when you should be silently bummed that we wasted the last two teams on quinn ewers.

Go fuck yourself. "No one is making you enter this thread," I'm genuinely interested in news about what's happening about with the guy and I've got to read your stupid fucking bullshit every time I open this thread. 

I want to be clear - this isn't a commentary on Ewers or his qualities as a player. I think that you, personally, suck as a presence on this board. You have lost the plot and it is a fucking beating to open a thread and see you shit all over it. Please, please, please take this to heart - you are awful and I wish you would take your shit and leave. It seems like people on this board have some weird affection for you so maybe at some point you contributed something of value, but that time has clearly passed. 

You suck. Just know that Ewers is going to be rich and love by people around him forever, and you are going to be stuck being some sweaty weirdo that no one likes in real life. 

Seriously. Fuck you.

the worst.  his tendency to wilt like a wet paper bag when shit gets real in the pocket would keep him off my draft board completely.  when he gets lit up on a blindside blitz in the NFL he’s going to forget how to play the position like he did against georgia at dkr.  and I like quinn.
