  1. I say this with a lot of love Derka. You know this. You tend to fly off the handle and need a bro to reel you back in. So that's why I said what I said. This isn't about thinking Ewers is perfect. It's just the opposite. My daughter's high school vball team has 8 committed players and yet they still managed to lose games this years. All it takes is the right team, an off day, a bad attitude, or the wrong gameplan. We were never going undefeated in the SEC Derka. Some of us still had our Big12 goggles on. We assumed, because it used to be true, that we were inherently better than other teams. However, teams like Georgia have been on this "best team in the country" journey way longer than us. Georgia SHOULD never lose and SHOULD have won 3 or 4 trophies in a row but they can't stay focused. Arrests. Car crashes and deaths. Complacency. Even with all that they've still only allowed themselves to lose only 2 games over the last 3 years, both to Bama. We were the perfect thing to get them laser focused. A relatively unknown Blue Blood looking to come in here and take over the conference, that had beaten them solidly in a bowl game and bragged about it. Quinn is, just like everyone else, not perfect. Bijan would often dance a little too much instead of hit the hole. Worthy got re-routed way too often. Even VY, the best college player I've ever seen, struggled from the pocket some games. We scored 0 points vs OU, almost lost to Kansas, and were down 1000 points to OSU. The measure of a player is how frequently they are good, not if they are perfect. In our lifetime Texas has been exactly as good as it's QB play. If any fanbase should appreciate Quinn it should be us. We've been wandering in the desert in large part because we couldn't get a Quinn Ewers. Now that we have one we already don't appreciate him and are causing another Applewhite-Simms controversy as if we don't know better. Ewers just faced two of the best DCs in the country and had a couple subpar games where he still played better than the guy across from him, as crazy as that sounds. He will likely get back on the horse as he has done over the last year and a half. The only thing that could derail him is the hatred and lack of appreciation from this fanbase. Simms should be celebrated at Texas for leading some of the most successful Texas teams we've had. Instead we ran him off, making him never want to step foot on this campus again. Let's NOT do that again.
  2. You can order an Arnold Palmer at the adult toy store.
  3. She should have a guy from Trump's golf club come on stage and wax poetic for 10 mins about how small Trump's penis is.
  4. Harris should say she used to shovel shit at a waste management plant while she was in college so we can all get a laugh watching Trump run over there and shovel shit for a photo op just not to be outdone.
  5. Jeezus Derka shut the hell up. No QB is perfect. None. Prior to the last two games dude was on the Heisman watch. Why? Because he has been really good since 2022. He was so good you had to shut your mouth for over a year. You keep going on about how much talent we have well newsflash, Georgia is more talented than we are. They've been coasting but we got their full attention on Saturday and it showed. They were fast, well prepped, and physical. There are not many teams in the country that can line up and physically beat us. Can we not show up? Sure we can sleepwalk and get beat, but that wasn't what happened on Sat-ur-dee. You can put tape in of every college QB in the country for the last couple years and come away with some pretty harsh criticisms because no one has everything. No one. Penix could throw it all over the lot but the second that dude got pressured he was missing wildly. Go put that 2022 Michigan-Ohio State CJ Stroud tape on. Bo Nix didn't get good until his 12th year in college. Ewers isn't the complete package, but you are seriously undervaluing what the kid can do. For example, the ball everyone is praising Manning for trying to throw down the field. There was a dig coming behind the route that Manning tried to hit. Sark ran the same play with Ewers later and he hit it perfectly in stride. That's why Sark went back to him. You guys gotta chill on the wild mood swings. Go back for a rewatch. The sky isn't quite falling yet. We just played a team that hasn't had a recruiting class outside the top 5 since 2016. Georgia is more talented than anyone in the country and they played up to their ability on Saturday.
  6. Now had he gone to popeyes.......
  7. What is this dude talking about...lol
  8. Coonin has a couple meanings in the black community. It means a step and fetch type of reinforcement of black stereotypes, but usually done over the top. There is a spectrum. We would call Clarence Thomas one. However, the purest form of the word is its original intention and fits Antonio Brown to a tee. Him being up there calling white folks crackers for no reason is coonin. Read below. BTW, coon is the worst thing a black person could call another black person. If you hear that word exchanged between black folks in a confrontation clear the area. Lol. https://jimcrowmuseum.ferris.edu/coon/homepage.htm Listen to Willie D
  9. Yeah. I can see how that would do it!
  10. Antonio Brown makes me wonder if white folks have someone who is equally as embarrassing to that community as he is to ours. Brown is the purest form of Coonin there is.
  11. In Texas, if the schools are good, the house zoned to them is likely 5k sq ft. A Kia Telluride is 50k to start. Might as well get that big truck. Well equipped Burbin is right at 100k. If you don't put your kid in travel sports, in most places they won't even make the school team. It's serious bidness. Bottom line though. Middle classers used to all the same keepin up with the Joneses, and off of one income.
  12. Nah man I just understand that constricted pockets affect QB play, especially when you ad in a lack of a running game. If I told you we would run for 29 yards against Georgia's base D and then asked you how Quinn would play you'd say a lot like last nite. Most reasonable people would. Problem is there are a lot of Ewers haters here who wait for these moments. Then there are a lot of Put Manning in ASAP guys too. This thread is 217 pages despite going to the playoffs last year and being 6-0. Ehlinger's thread was only 202 pages after 4 mediocre years of football. Imagine that.
  13. He is accurate on short to intermediate throws. He has struggled on deep throws but we really only ever threw deep with Worthy so hard to say on that. He and Worthy never had a good connection. He was bad last game on anything. This game he didn't miss a whole bunch of throws like last game.
  14. What's funny about this board is you guys say things like "Ewers moved around in the pocket well against Michigan and Bama. I wonder what the issue is". Then when someone points it out yall are like Nah. Lol. It's fine. Ewers will be back slinging it around and y'all will be sitting and waiting until the next time a Georgia comes along.
  15. Ball is 1 yard past the solid white on snap and Connor ends up with his feet exactly 5 yards back from the original LOS. He and Banks at one point are almost touching. Ewers slides away from that. Then Connor regains control but this is after QE has already moved. It's hard to"feel" that the pocket has been moved right of the original but still intact.
  16. Look at the initial rush. LG gets pushed back 5 yards off the LOS. Quinn feels that and moves back and right. It's hard FOR ME to fault a QB when the d-line pushes the LOS 5 yards into the backfield.
  17. If someone takes away your run game by bringing numbers that you can't account for and the QB doesnt play well blame the QB. However, if someone takes away your running game to the tune of 29 yards while playing a light box your QB is going to have a long day.
  18. Manning looked worse. Which is why Sark went back to Ewers.
  19. People on this board have a hard time processing what they are seeing. Georgia was playing on our side of the LOS on both sides of the ball. I think when people have the benefit of a rewatch they will see how the pocket was being constricted both on the edges AND in the center. I think Ewers didn't play well, but I think that most if not all QB aren't going to play well in the situation he was in. People here expect a QB to play well no matter what and that's just not how it is. Good defenses affect how a QB plays, and they did just that. That is why Manning looked he exact same way when he went in there.
  20. He could've been the most accurate deep ball thrower in the history of the game and it wouldn't have mattered. He never had enough time for those long routes to develop.
  21. The running game is the problem not the QB. We had 29 rushing yards but the usual suspects came in here blaming the guy we were asking to stare down a legit pass rush in long yardage situations repeatedly. Make it make sense.
  22. You guys has the confused. Good after the catch doesn't mean good route runners. Georgia was out there pressing and rerouting receivers. That causes your QB to hold the ball. When you can stone a running game in base D. Play press man. And get home quickly with a pass rush. The opposing QB is gonna struggle. This game is on Sark. I think he thought he had more than he does.
  23. The same people who have always disliked Quinn show up in these threads as soon as it looks like he had a bad game. All of yall see what you wanna see so it really makes no shit if you point it out or not. They were playing press man. When you press nothing quick is available unless you run man-busting routes and we weren't. If forces the qb to hold onto the ball and that's a bad combo with how our o line was playing. There are very few teams in the country that can do that to us and even that team was only able to do it for a half. The real story here was our inability to run the football but as I said the people who dislike a guy have been swallowing their hate and pretending to be on board since 2022, just waiting for their chance to "I told you so" as soon as there was a crack in the armor.
  24. Guy completely free. He sets his feet there and its sack time or at the very least ball knocked down.
  25. Kiffen by a lot
