If you go back and watch games like Vandy, Kentucky, Arkansas…it is astounding how we are about to step on a team’s throat and then we get a holding call that negates a big play or turn the ball over in a way that completely derails our progress.

24-7 vs KY and we have the ball ready to deliver the final blow and then Blue and Ewers fumble on consecutive series. Just unreal.

Once again, we are the best team in the nation. But we just can’t get out of our own damn way. And heading into the game against aggy it just feels like it’s about to catch up with us.

So many issues, you have to wonder exactly what Milwee's job is.

Or his personal QB trainer.

I think Sark trusted Quinn to execute the offense more than Arch. Greater risk of false starts, illegal formations, protection busts, with Arch in the game.

And killing clock with the run was what we needed anyway and it was working.

The all arm thing is why his throws are sailing and floating...it's infuriating to watch. Because other times you'll see him use good mechanics and step into his throws and you see the zip he has. If he can apply that to his deeper passes he would have been able to hit Bond in stride, hit Golden on the wheel route vs Arkansas, or a streaking Wingo for a touchdown. Instead they're floated and gives defenders time to close on receivers and cause incompletions that we ultimately end up bitching should have been PI. Part of that is why I was complaining so much on some of his positive throws like the Moore touchdown vs Vandy.....that shit is rearing it's head and could cost us in big games. 

Correct on all but the Golden wheel. That was a really tight window. I give him a pass on that one. The thing that bothers me is all these idiots here that misremember other QBs. Like take Arch for example. He has a lot more shitty throws than people remember whether it be trows into double and triple coverage, late throws, or off target throws. People are actually buying into this Manning Illuminati BS. It's wild to me. I also hate it because when the fanbase starts spreading that stuff it gets back to the QB and affects how things go on the field. No fanbase should understand that more than us. What we did to Simms was criminal and especial since in hindsight Major turned out to be the  shittier human.

Window was massive wtf you mean? If it’s on a rope that’s an easy completion that you see in the league all the time.

I agree with overall people being a bit harsh on QE, who will end up being a top 3 QB at Texas in most metrics.

But the rest...

1. Let's never bring up Simms v. Applewhite again please
2. Major being a "shitty human" wasn't germane to what was happening in 2000-2001
3. You're overselling what fans say on an internet message board to how a player plays.
4. Even if it does affect the player, these are paid pro athletes now.  When you make millions as Texas QB you are going to have to take what goes along with that, which is people saying mean things on the internet about you.

Yes, I think it's possible that an intelligent woman can make decisions regarding her son. My wife is 1000x smarter than I am and can learn any subject that she deems important. I understand what you think you're saying, but you just sound like an asshole. 

I agree with your first sentence. I’m not being misogynistic. I’m being pragmatic. Any mom will want to know the plan for her son. There are zero moms of Mannings that are dictating terms. That’s all I’m saying. I don’t care if I sound like an asshole. That’s kinda my thing.

he’ll have nice numbers when all is said and done, but that will be a product of the fact that our program’s downfield passing history didn’t start until around the turn of the century, plus the fact that QE has been surrounded by the best offensive coaching and playing talent in america for two straight years. if he keeps playing the way he’s been playing and this team doesn’t win it all, then there’s no chance that he’s going to be remembered more fondly than the likes of sam, major, james brown etc. nice statistical career, but if he doesn’t find a way to lead us to the title then there won’t be a ton to remember him for other than showing up overweight and unkempt and then underperforming for three years.

That isn't a massive window. That is a risky throw with a small window.

That's a 30 yard cross field throw with a guy 10 yards away from the receiver and running his way. Even on time he gets lit up at worst. Do the mph math. They don't play 3 safeties in the league. That throw in the league is usually vs cover 2.

I'm already more fond of him than those other guys because he did more to change the program in a positive direction. All this other guys had lower expectations coming in. That is the problem with the current fanbase. The got a "perfect" 1.000 recruit and hasn't met their expectations. Just read the posts. He isn't perfect but he is ours and we are going to back to back playoffs with him. Pretty good legacy if you ask me, regardless of expectations being met or not.

I think you are just over-sensitive on this stuff. Arch misses some throws and reads.  Multiple people have said Quinn is more accurate in the short game. I dont think anyone believes that Arch is not without his risks and issues. I do think many believe he is more likely to progress in those areas, because he only has 2 starts. There is much less hope on Quinn fixing his issues, because he is nearing 40 college starts.

You're gaslighting. Arch has made some errant throws but not at a noticeably higher rate than Quinn. 

It's weird that you tend to talk shit about Arch. He's done well this year and and has created a lot of big plays in limited action.

You realize that you're just as bad as @Derka on this arguement -- you're just on the complete polar opposite side of the spectrum. The answer to the QE question is somewhere in the middle between his take and yours. I tend to lean more Derka's way in that QE has been largely unimpressive for a third-year starter with Heisman aspirations when the season started since returning from his early-season injury. I hope he's good at Kyle Field this week because I've become resigned to the fact Sark isn't considering any alternatives until Quinn simply cannot continue physically. He was good -- not great -- in the first half against Kentucky and then was just bad in the second. Was that entirely due to the ankle injury? I guess that's the likely case -- but if he's that hurt, put in the backup for some really good experience. We were up 24-7 at that point.

Don't get me started on Jaydon Blue -- I can't remember the last time I saw a RB that had such bad fumble-itis. I feel pretty confident in saying that was probably a fumble when he scored the TD.

I specifically mentioned Quinn as a player and recruit. How the fuck is that supposed to be about Sark?
