QB1 Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet

[Surly Bevo 25655]

I expect this thread to be very level-headed over the next 7 days.

[RichUT 1922]

He's not going to take off. He is who he is. His success is largely dependent on the opponent. Those that can contain our screen/horizontal game will make him look average to terrible. Those that can't will make him look good.

But everyone should understand that he is who he is. There is no such thing as good Quinn or bad Quinn.

brain fart, alot of you dont remember '23 at all if you dont think he can take off

we basically just spent the entire 2H running the ball just to avoid quinn having to even try to throw/not get sacked. what exactly makes you think that he’s right on the verge of “taking off”?

[StassneyHorn 6755]

He has literally already shown he can

When second half started they said Sark wanted to re-establish the run game. I remember this cause he never established it to begin with

2 wide open deep balls overthrown by 5 yards

prognosis: not great, bob

forecast: sark is going to have to pull him again at some point, i'm just glad he already set the precedent against georgia

The play has to be schemed for him at this point. I wish Michigan Quinn would come back but I don’t think so at this point. He will have to step up and win us a game at some point this yr and idk if he can do it. 
 

whatever. Booty

What are the two “wide open” deep balls that were missed?

What about the multiple drops that killed drives?

The worst throw was the wide open miss to Helm on the sideline.

What drops that killed drives? What game did you watch?

[Hornbeliever 727]

I’m speaking/writing this into existence.  Quinn will be on the money with deep throws versus aggies.  It’s just straight statistics and regression to the mean.  He has thrown 50% too long and somehow, 50% too short.  So statistics will statistic and he will hit a few long bombs in college station.  Math ain’t ever wrong

He's talking about a badly thrown pass in the second half that was very contested but the receiver touched it. Then I think there was one real drop.  He also evidently didn’t see any missed deep balls in the first half so take what he says with that in mind.  lol 

Edited November 16 by Hook1997

[kevwun 16269]

Helm had a couple of drops.  If Bolden had caught the ball on the play Ewers got away from a sack, it would have been huge.  The passing game was out of sync all day.  Either Ewers had a bad throw or there was a drop on a catchable ball.

The worst throw was the wide open miss to Helm on the sideline. 

On the 1st drive, he overthrew Golden who was behind the defense, Would have been a walkin TD.

Another drive he throws a lolly pop late and behind to a wide open streaking Golden, the safety comes over and knocks the ball away.

Another drive he throws a lolly pop fade that is late and flat to Wingo and the DB makes the deflection.

That's 3 TDs right there.

Helm had one drop, and two balls that were fastballs at his feet he had no hope of catching.

One of you guys needs to step up and give Quinn an angry handy-j, so that he's in the right frame of mind for today. 

Yeah, and no spit or vasoline. Just you hand with calluses

[HtownHorn 15243]

Seriously, how much more evidence do some of you need. Ole Miss rolled this team with Dart throwing for over 500 yards on like 30 attempts. Texas and Ole Miss both have coaches that run similar concepts.

The reason we are 9-1 is almost 100% because of the defense.

[Fico 1806]

Y’all are fucking high. There were multiple drops.

Helm had one for sure crossing the middle. I believe Bolden had one and I will go back tomorrow and watch but there were others.

There were bad throws and self sacks, but we consistently make negative run plays worse than they need to be and I don’t think anyone in the WR room would say they played a great game today. 

[Funk Doctor Spock 13121]

Quinn threw a lot of bad passes. He can't hit the deep ball like Dart. Arch, by next year will be able to do that, but that is not Quinn's strength.

I mean how can they when the QB can't consistently throw the ball where they can make plays on it?

There was one drop by Helm in the 1st half and one drop by Bolden in the 2nd half. And I believe we got a 1st down after the Helm drop. Really not sure what you’re referring to.

Quinn was the issue today. It’s not even debatable. He was downright bad

[Fico 1806]

Tennessee also lot to this team. The transitive property in football doesn’t work. 
 

Helm had more than one drop. The sideline throw to Golden would have to have been a perfect throw. It was a miss but it wasn’t egregious.

The Wingo throw also wasn’t perfect but holy shit the is an opposite hash out route near the sideline. That is a high difficulty NFL throw. 
 

People don’t think he is perfect but the standard you motherfuckers have is so skewed it is wild.

On the CB blitz where Quinn tripped over his OL (not slipped like some posted, but still an unathletic self-sack to me), did the WR whose CB blitzed not run a hot route? I ask because if so this would be something that has happened repeatedly, and seems simple to fix.

When did Helm have another drop

[troph 25089]

There were at least 5 fucked up blocks that led to zero gain or tackles for a loss too. Inside move for a sack was on the OL, banks let the rush end get back underneath when quinn stepped up. Bond missed a block and helm basically shit the bed blocking twice. Quinn missed 3 throws, two deep and another on a blitz, but it’s hard to say he had a bad game, the game slowed down, ended up being a ball control game, he led Texas on a drive that was much needed to get the distance then he managed the last drive.  At some point no turnovers and the drive when you needed it plus the win on the road against a team that hates our faces has to count for something.

It’s that it’s blatantly obvious Sark has to throw out half the playbook because he can’t trust Ewers to throw downfield.  He gives him his chances early and if they keep failing he goes to run, dink and dunk only. It changes the whole game then we play ball control offense, that shouldn’t be the case vs the worst defense in the sec.

Playing Arky is always a weird game.

Quinn with time is pretty surgical.

[Shut up Lou Holtz 2090]

I get pissed off watching him crumble under pressure and have no clue how to throw it deep, but he stepped up at the end today and showed his heart for his team. He didn’t turn it over and made enough plays to help us get the win. Horns up

and if he leads it is a TD. I just laugh that you fatasses think it's easy to track the ball, turn around while slowing to a complete stop, avoid the DB and catch the ball. You guys would shit your pants more times than not. I think the Texas WRs should just keep running their routes and watch the ball fall 15 yards behind where they expect to be placed, so maybe you fucking tards would realize how bad of that throw actually was.

It wasn’t a great throw but I’ll take it all day over the typical Quinn deep ball being 3-4 yards overthrown. I watch my 8th grade son and receivers above him in high school continually adjust to balls underthrown for catches. Underthrown balls often lead to adjustments and touchdowns for my son.  Otherthrown balls are either impossibke or more fun because he’ll lay out and make OBJ type realities. Rarely does he get hit in stride and when he does it’s always a TD.  Again, wasn’t a good throw, but I watch 2 games a week at a lower level (albeit a very high level) and 2 levels below. And both the varsity snd 8th grade QBs will play D 1.  8th grader will be at very least a 4 star and probably a 5 star.

Honestly…how does a kid who has been playing quarterback this long suck so badly on deep throws? How is that possible?

I didn’t say he was good at the deep ball. Greg McElroy won a title not turning it over and managing the game. QE can do the same. 

but to hyperventilate that QE is dog shit while ignoring a disappearing OL in the run game at times, serious shitty blocking by helm and bond, a few drops, and some fucked up pass protection at least twice just isn’t accurate analysis.

I have said Quinn in a clean pocket with an easy 1st read is a stud, but a lot of QBs are good in that world. How QBs handle pressure and respond when their reads are muddied is what separates great QBs from mediocre QBs

but there more than just him. No open receivers.  No hot route.  The OL isn’t holding up well against pressure at all.

No. Outside receiver running the in and Gunnar running the out were both right there. Your analysis, predictably, sucks.

Yeah this pic is this pic though. He’s not making that through to the left in this pocket. He’s not gonna step up.

We don't have their running game with our best back being out for the season. Also, college football has changed since then, and you are going to have to put points on the board in the playoffs to advance.

The only team that is a clear favorite against Texas is Oregon. Y’all are way overreacting. Shit even the Georgia game was closer than it looked (and QE wasn’t the only poor performer that day).

this is a top 5 team with plenty chances to win the league and the playoffs.

4Q Quinn is a winnable formula moving forward. The problem is against one of the worst defenses in our conference he only showed up in the 4Q.

[kevwun 16269]

Baxter was a huge loss and not being able to run inside really hurts the offense.  It's even worse because the only other big backs on the roster were both freshmen.  Ewers biggest issue is his pocket presence.  He just refuses to ever step up in the pocket.  If he can't roll out, the play is over when there is pressure.

[Reynolds Woodcock 5064]

It’s tough for me to see our offense scoring many points in college station. We’ll need our defense to play damn near perfect.

Even tougher to imagine us scoring enough points to beat Bama or Ole Miss or whoever else ends up in the SEC championship game. This feels like a 10-2 regular season team to me

[kevwun 16269]

This defense eats up offenses that are run heavy.  I'm not worried about them scoring a lot especially after Moss got hurt.
