September Quinn was pretty damn good. Wed have 1-2 championships he was sharp out of the gate. Outside of that, I’d take Shane Buechele.

Shane with Golden & Bond would have been high flying. Bonds ankle was only banged up because of a wonky throw in the Cotton Bowl.

some of quinn ewers’ teammates at Texas:

RB: Bijan Robinson, Jonathan Brooks, Roschon Johnson

WR: Xavier Worthy, AD Mitchell, Jordan Whittington, Matthew Golden, Isaiah Bond

TE: JT Sanders, Gunnar Helm

OL: two really good O lines led by Lombardi and Outland winner Kelvin Banks

DL: T’Vondre Sweat, Byron Murphy, Alfred Collins, Barryn Sorrell, Keondre Coburn, Collin Simmons

LB: Jaylan Ford, Demarvion Overshown, Anthony Hill

DB: Jahdae Barron, Michael Taaffe, Andrew Mukuba

all of these players, ALL of them, were inarguably better players than quinn ewers. his college production, abilities, and efficacy is simply nowhere near that of these guys. these are all-league, all american, and/or nfl players who all played at a reliably high level week after week during their time at Texas. there are others who were/are also better and more consistent at Texas than QE was, but these guys really stand out as players who’ve led the turnaround for our program.

and yet, the narrative among Texas fans is that QE more or less single handedly turned around our program and won us 25 games these last two years. that’s not to mention that countless coaches on this team (sark, choice, PK, torre becton, etc) have been wildly more important to this turnaround than QE was. at this point in time quinn ewers is possibly the most overrated player in Texas history, through no fault of his own. he was a fine QB who finished his career with a great W/L record because of the insane amount of world class talent surrounding him, but nothing more. it’s the literally thousands and thousands of fans who have gone full rick barnes stan for QE who have overrated him. 

you see? it’s already happening again. “quinn” beat oklahoma, and now we have to compare quinn’s solo wins vs OU against the times that “colt” beat OU.

beyond the entire premise being on-it’s-face retarded, if we insist on going that route then we’re gonna have to point out that colt was 100x more responsible for beating much, much better OU teams than quinn was for his teams wins vs garbage OU teams, despite colt being saddled with mack and GD while quinn is coached by the QB Whisperer.

its funny how “quinn” beat OU this year with his 6.9 yards per attempt, his 199 yards passing, his 1:1 TD/INT ratio. it wasn’t tre wisner and his 118 yards rushing on 9.1 yards per carry; it wasn’t gunnar helm who was spectacular after the catch; it wasn’t the defense that held OU to 3 points and 4.9 yards per pass attempt; it wasn’t anthony hill and collin simmons who combined for 5 TFL’s, two forced fumbles, and three sacks, nor was it david gbenda, michael taaffe, ethan burke, or barryn sorrell who all had sacks of their own; no. not them. that game was solely won by the guy who threw a terrible int on the opening drive and followed it up by missing a wide open wr by about 15 yards in the second drive, forcing a punt, both harbingers of his poor play to come both that day and the majority of the rest of the season. yeah, that’s who beat OU. all by himself. that dude. just a great solo win for the mighty quinn ewers.

quinn ewers was never one of the 10-15 best players on his own teams and we’ve got people in here comparing him to colt mccoy, the best player on some loaded teams that were hamstrung by having poor O line play, zero running backs, and two of the most scared, conservative coaches in CFB history. we’re comparing an actual legend who routinely made chicken salad out of chicken shit to a guy who can’t move the chains despite being surrounded by NFL talent, and we’ve actually got people debating this like it’s a sincere debate. the mythical rewriting of who quinn ewers was as a football player will never make sense. that no.1 HS rating has done more for quinn’s legend than his actual play ever did.

Texas and OU have played for 125 years. No Texas quarterback in the history of the series has ever put together two dominant performances like 22, and 24. I'm trying to remember a Texas QB who even played in two conference championship games.

Peter Gardere upset ranked OU teams four fucking years in a row. 

This is the 2nd historical thing you've been wrong on. I know you're a solid poster but can you do some research before making a bunch of outlandish claims?

I mean dude I'm fucking 29 and I knew the Gardere shit off the top of my head and it took me 12 seconds to look up that Street didn't win 2 national titles.

Pete the Great won 4 years in a row. We all know that. No single QB in the history of Texas was on the right side of 49-0 and 34-3. Go on and look. Link below. If putting up beatings like that were so easy someone would've done it over the last 120 years bro. Dude accomplished a lot as far as Texas QBs are concerned and he only played three years. You guys shrugging off dude's accomplishments as sheer luck and happenstance is alarming. Neither VY or Colt ever made it to two conference championships and def not by their 3rd year. Is it so difficult to give ole buddy credit?

They didn’t make it two conference championships because the OU team that beat them played for national championships(well for Colt he beat them but fuck the BCS and Switzers stupid smirk face). Like holy fuck man you’re absolutely retarded. Quinn beat two of the worst teams since John Blake. That isn’t impressive. Congrats bro you beat a 6-6 team! 
 

10 and 12 are hanging in DKR, 3 won’t.

it’s interesting to me that you can see how flawed Colt’s ‘09 team was, forget to mention that he played with ALL TIME UNDENIABLE badasses like Jamaal Charles, Earl Thomas, Brian Orakpo, etc, but not see the flawed personnel around Quinn. Hell that ‘09 team had Justin Tucker behind Hunter Lawrence.

Bullshit thought exercise time!
Swap Lawrence for Bert? ‘09 team loses B12 Championship to Nebraska (and possibly loses the OU game). ‘24 team wins the SEC Championship, plays on the other side of the bracket, and likely plays in the national championship game… OR swap the ‘23 offensive personnel with ‘24 and we easily beat Ohio State to win the championship… OR what if Quinn went pro after last season? how differently would he be remembered?

Is he has good as Colt? No. He’s not as accurate, as mobile, or as good a leader. But he may end up having the same sort of long NFL backup career.

talking about a QB being on the right side of a defense giving up 3 and 0 pts is an interesting tact. Completely ridiculous and oblivious of the dominant unit on those days, but interesting nonetheless

Can we give the team credit too?  Or do they just take the blame when we lose?

Look. I am an old guy. I never saw Layne at college, but did see him in the pros.. He was one of the best in the pros. The team Street came to at Texas had gone 6-4, 6-4,6-4 in '65. '66, '67....  In '68 under Bradley we started the season with a loss and a tie...against power houses TT and U of H....

Street replaced Bradley and never lost a game. That deserves respect.

Now....let's talk about Colt. He was fabulous.....and let's never forget that he got us in a Title game and was on his way to curb stomping one of the greatest teams of all time when a bounty hunter takes him out. Had he been able to finish that game, the debate would be between him and Vince as the best ever...

quinn ewers has eligibility left AND WE DO NOT WANT HIM BACK!! Texas fans, coaches, and potential transfers and recruits DO NOT WANT QUINN BACK!! and yet we are seriously in here talking about him being better than Colt McCoy? talking about him being on our mount rushmore? talking about putting him into the hall of honor?

this a cult-like following, plain and simple. he’s not a great passer (he’s not even consistently ‘good’), he’s got zero mobility, zero pocket presence, only thrives on screens and one-read throws, and he struggled to move the ball and score points against mediocre competition all year and we have people here literally comparing him to Colt and VY. calling this total disappointment of a player an all time Texas legend. that’s cult stuff. it’s so weird.

Those are some very good points on Street.  Presumably that early in converting the offense, those reads are more difficult too simply because he hadn’t had a ton of reps yet.

As for Colt, think about it, two years running he basically left the game with the lead (technically he had 1 second versus Tech, and were driving versus Bama but hadn’t scored yet).  That’s pretty incredible.

Do yall think Colt would have overtaken VY at #1 spot if he had played the entire game vs Bama and won that national title? He'd be the All-Time wins leader in NCAA history, hold pretty much every passing record for Texas, 3rd all time completion percentage for his career, top 25 in passing yards in ncaa history, top 15 ncaa history in completions, top 20 in passing touchdowns for his career, until Mac Jones he had the best season ever in completion percentage, and finally the national title. 

 

 

I've actually never thought about it in the grand scheme of what that injury meant for his overall legacy.

lol no. lamar jackson in josh allen’s body. 30-2 despite being saddled with Mack and GDGD and zero pro wr’s. the two greatest rose bowl performances this century, possibly all time. led the nation in 4Q comeback wins. never got tired. never got phased. never seemed to even feel a modicum of pressure. biggest drive in ncaa football history and he walks into the the huddle and says, “let your nuts hang, bitches” before calmly leading Texas to a win in the greatest game ever played. there has STILL never been a football player at any position with VY’s combo of size, speed, and agility. not brock bowers, not khalil mack, not josh allen- nobody. VY is 1 of 1. we will never see anyone like him again.

Cam Newton is essentially a VY clone with a better arm. I love VY but to act like there will never be another is dumb.

I’m a big Ewers supporter.   The piling on tradition is unfortunate, though maybe sometimes necessary.

As said abov, VY and Colt in the honor ring.   Ewers, Sam, thanks, and free beer for life.

Arch?  The NC is so much harder now, the SEC is actually difficult most every week, if not every.  Let’s see what he does

I mean, just for reference. It's not like Colt was surrounded by a bunch of bozos.

Also, in my 20+ year career as a civil trial lawyer and briefly as a judge and mediator, it's been my experience whenever someone uses words like "inarguably" they actually mean "arguably but don't argue with me." Not saying, just saying.

and yet colt was the best player on the team both years. and i said as much upthread. quinn and colt both had two years with outstanding supporting casts. quinn was carried by his, while colt led his. again, never mind the fact that colt was saddled with mack and GD. the gulf between colt and quinn is massive. 

and i know that hyperbole is my thing, but i was serious earlier: you put 08 and 09 Colt on 23 and 24 Texas and we do not lose a game. i frankly don’t think it’s even close. we lost five fairly close games with QE taking the snaps. you give this defense a break with colt’s ability to drive the ball and score TDs, you give Sark the ability to open up playbook with a super accurate and mobile QB? ssshhheeeiiitttt. there’s not a team we played these last two years who could have kept up with us.

Okay. So take a RS-JR and RS-SR QB who was 22- and 23-years old in those seasons and put him on a loaded team under Sark and he'll do better than a 20-year-old RS-SO and 21-year-old RS-JR. Got it.

2007 RS-SO Colt was 276 of 424 (65.1%) for 3,303 yards, 22 TD and 18 INT on a team that had Jamaal Charles, Jermichael Finley, Jordan Shipley, Quan Cosby, and Limas Sweed...but sure. I mean, for comparison, 2023 RS-SO Ewers was 272 of 394 (69%) for 3,479 yards, 22 TD and 6 INT in 12 games (to Colt's 13). I'm not saying it's apples to apples, I'm just saying.

Edit: does RS-SO Colt do better for 2023 Texas? I don't know. I mean, Xavier's dad wasn't roommates with his dad or anything so maybe not.

And aggys only pints this year came on a Bond fumble.   What’s your point?

Stuff happens.  Sometimes you’re lucky; sometimes not.

Lots of massive plays in that USC game.  We made many of those.  That failed interception was their missed opportunity.  If that doesn’t happen 4th and 5 doesn’t happen.

Gardere may be 4-0 versus OU but at least in one he was the beneficiary of tremendous defense.

For me, an isolated play or game doesn’t define any player.  I dont discount a player like Colt simply because he didn’t win it all.  Just like I don’t consider winning a championship to mean that player is greater than another who didn’t.

This thread is a beat down …

Quinn is a modern era top 5-7 QB at Texas. you can’t even argue otherwise. The only thing that sucks is he coulda been better and coulda developed more his junior to senior year. That and one throw here or one sack there and Texas does in fact have two NC trophies during his tenure. The what ifs drag him down. 

again total beat down of a thread, except for Raquel I mean, what kinda person wouldn’t enjoy seeing her in their feed?!

A scouting report on Ewers:

 

and yes I know we’re all smarter than people who get paid to do this:

 

Like Ewers, Mills was a highly touted recruit who played quality football in college, yet never quite met the lofty expectations aligned with his recruiting ranking," they wrote. "Mills and Ewers both have high-caliber albeit not tremendous arms and in short stretches can look like promising starters. Yet the ability to quickly read coverages and adapt is not fully developed. Also like Mills, Ewers' ability to create with his legs occurs infrequently and only in dire situations, plus accuracy is not a true strength to their games."

Wait don't those scouts understand it's all the rest of the team, specifically the kicker and defense that are the cause of those issues?

That’s scouting report doesn’t change facts - top 5-7 QB in the modern era and so maddening as a QB here because he didn’t develop as he could have and was oh so fucking close not once but TWICE to hoisting the ultimate trophy.

So in terms of turnovers and yardage they are both similar, especially when you account for Quinn's fumbles. You are also selectively choosing to leave out rushing metrics from both of that season plus their careers. 

Basically Colt's worse season as a RS sophomore is on par with Quinns second best season as a RS Junior(4th year). 

 

So Colt as a RS Jr(same year as Quinn this year) provided the following:

332/433 (76.7%) for 3859 yards, 34 touchdowns, 8 interceptions - 136 rushes 561 yards and 11 touchdowns

 

 

 

You're acting like Colt was so much older from a class persepctive when reality that's not true at all. Quinn went pro as a RS junior vs Colt who chose to come back for his senior season.

That’s scouting report doesn’t change facts - top 5-7 QB in the modern era and so maddening as a QB here because he didn’t develop as he could have and was oh so fucking close not once but TWICE to hoisting the ultimate trophy. 

Top 5-7 QB in the modern era? Are we talking Texas or in all of college football?

Texas. Could argue as high as 4th. Could see him 5th but for the haters I can’t see him dropping below 7th. Modern era I’ll say since 1960.

street, VY and colt are clearly ahead. Some can say Sam. After that it’s hard to put anyone else ahead of him with a conf champ, SEC title game, two semifinal games and two top 5 finishes. His winning record isn’t too shabby either.
