This is why the team, including the defense, plays so much better when QE is playing. This intangible won't show up on the stat sheet but it's not hard to see.

That poise, as much as anything, is what set VY and Colt apart from the merely good QBs.  Obviously, Vince was a once-in-a-generation leader, but Colt had enough "it" to win the job as a redshirt freshman.  Quinn has the same "it".

No knock against Colt but who did he beat to win the job? Seems like I recall as long as he could fog a mirror he was gonna be the starter. I think we got lucky that he was good.

Also if I recall correctly, on one of his very early passes he hit a receiver in perfect stride on a slant and the receiver housed it. And I remember thinking, ok maybe this guy can play.

Jevan Snead was a highly rated 5 start that he beat out. He kind of ended up being a JAG though.

Great leaders don't have to speak often. When others look into their eyes, they know when he has "it". We still talk about VY telling the huddle is was time to "let their nuts hang"...10 years from now we will be talking about what Quinn told the huddle in his NC game.

Again and again, people continue to display their ignorance of the situation. Quinn's gone after next year, and the mannings do not have an issue with Arch red-shirting.

I mean come the fuck on, did Arch and the Mannings think that Quinn Fucking Ewers, the highest rated QB prospect in over a decade, was going to shit the bed so that Arch could come in and win the job as a true freshman? This is stupid. 

Given the collective QBing experience in that family, they probably actually prefer for him to redshirt.

Neither had it at 19 years old after 5 quarters, though. It's pretty unprecedented for him to be the instant leader like he is.

If he's going on air asking to where Quinn Ewers is going to transfer, two days after that OU game, he's either trolling hard or he's lost his mind.

If Quinn doesn't get hurt against Alabama, it is very likely this team is undefeated, ranked in the Top 5 and QE is a heisman candidate. He completely changes this offense.

He changes the defense, too.  They don't get as worn out constantly trotting out there after repeated one-minute 3-and-out drives.  See: Texas Tech.

Quinn has more than just “it.” He’s from another dimension. We just curb stomped OU into a shutout, and QE is sitting there at the presser picking at his arm like it’s just another day of football. He’s not swinging his dick around like he’s the king of the world. He’s just answering questions and doing what he has to do. I’ve never seen someone have such a chill vibe after accomplishing something this huge.

Yep. I've mentioned it a lot, but our 2nd half TOP was pretty bad - we had one drive longer than 2.5 minutes (3:49 drive) in the second half.  We went up 31-17 and then: 

Punt (3 plays, 2 yards, 90 seconds)
Punt (3 players, -1 yard, 55 seconds)
Punt (5 players, 17 yards, 2:28)
FG (5 plays, 46 yards, 11 seconds)

Our non-scoring drives (5/7) in the 2nd half lasted a whopping like 7 minutes.

I don't know that I would call him a JAG... he was pretty good.  Not a world-beater but pretty good and you wonder how he would have been without the concussion issues...

What is messed up is that NFL scouts and GM's will pick it apart and interpret it as he's not competitive or doesn't love the game because too many JaMarcus Russell and Kerry Collins' have happened.

Eh, I'm pretty sure seeing him throwing dimes or even safety uncatchables (by anyone) will counter that.  His one INT the other day was a bad back-foot throw but in general he puts the ball either exactly where it needs to be or only where his guy might catch it, and he still completes nearly 70% of his throws.  He'll be fine, especially if he cleans up the footwork.

[sidis 10013]

on the third quarter pick where he threw the duck, i caught on sark's rewind show that he said they thought the ball hit the damn skycam wire and that helped knock it down.

did anyone in the stadium notice that?

Heisman is the MVP

No, Heisman is a popularity contest with recency bias. Not to CR is, but Heisman voting is the equivalent of political wokeness. Someone decides what the "right" choice is and everyone follows along with it. That's how Bush beat VY.

If Stroud has a couple 3TD games while Quinn has a bunch of 5TD games then they'll both be talked about. Then if Stroud loses the last game or has a sub-par game in the Big10 championship and Quinn puts up huge numbers, it could happen. Most voters only know what happened in the last game.

He did have some stinkers.

Near int on second drive. Bad decision and bad pass. Db should have picked that. Shades first int v. La Monroe.

Great pass to Whirling Bijan, but could have been defended or picked if ou db had any sense.

Int duck has been mentioned, but I heard that one slipped, so good decision, poor execution.  I'll give him a pass on that one...and of course, that would have never happened had he hit wide open Jwitt on previous play.

But that's it as far as egregious mistakes.

A batted ball on a screen and a couple of throws to covered screens resulting Inc. or lost yardage and couple of missed downfield opportunities rounds it out in the slightly negative column.

Pretty damn good coming off 4 weeks injury rest. Might see 1st quarter Alabama Ewers this week if trends hold. Once he gets a few more quarters under his belt, he will be unstoppable.

  Quinn isn't an accident. His parents saw his potential early and went to find him some professional training. They landed at the same place Mahommes trained at, thus Quinn's interest in Tech. Imagine practicing with one of the best QBs in the NFL. All the arm angles and throws, and you are standing there waiting your turn as an impressionable 14yr old or whatever age he was when he started there. So all the training he received and the mentors he had in his ear has lead to this.

i am generally aligned with this.  i don't agree with whirling bijan play assessment though.  that was a pass that only guys like him can make and it was executed perfectly given what he was offered by the defense.  if ou defends it differently, he makes a different decision (presumably).  he had about a 1 degree margin of error short/long on that and he nailed it.  that's where the massive upgrade on having a guy like that comes from. 

the other egregious mistake you didn't mention imo was the missed wheel to jordan the play before the int.  that should have been the easiest touchdown of the day and the official beginning of the dance on ou's fucking grave moment.  airmailed it which is the only thing you can't do when a dude is wide open.  you can underthrow it all day and it is still a td and he tried to make it too pretty.  only other really frustrating one was the 3rd down on the first drive.  sanders wide open at the first down mark.  worthy was by himself on the flag route and he never looked.  there was pressure but sanders was right there.

beyond that, lots of fun watching him flick 20 yard passes like it was 7 on 7.  props to the oline for some consistently good pass protection.

however, i remain of the opinion that we have played three of the worst four teams in the conference.  the other one comes to town saturday and we see what these guys have mentally coming off the huge win this week...and whether they can handle business.  but then the schedule changes.

Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence seemed equally unflappable both times they won the CFP so I don't think Quinn's going to be hurt by his attitude during the game. Maybe it matters if you're a Kellen Mond.

100%.  But letting QE get back into it against these teams and the defense get into a groove and younger guys get some confidence leading into the harder part of the schedule is okay by me.

Always kind of figured we'd be a team that would get better/stronger and more dangerous as the season went on because of how young we are.  If QE didn't miss 3.75 games, he'd probably be going off for 500 yards and 5 TDs per game at this point.
