  1. I was going to say the "completion percentage increaser". It's like guys that won't jack up end of quarter 40ft+ 3's.
  2. agreed. Ewers might have brought a few guys, being the no 1 recruit, that were in his class that knew him from recruiting trips or camps or whatever but Manning and Simms are NFL royalty from a coaching stamp of approval perspective. you can't buy that....well maybe you can now.
  3. That's not the way I've read this thread but there is a lot of "i've seen a bunch of people say X" but it doesn't seem to appear. I can understand some folks being a bit misguided on Quinn's status as we have been basically a QB wasteland since Colt(save Sam running Herman's Wing T, and he was a decent passer after all, as his stint on NFL rosters proves). If Arch bumps it up again look out...
  4. Quinn solely? he may have helped as did other players(regardless Sark gets the credit). If someone said it was Quinn alone that turned the program around that would be stupid. I'd like to meet that person(on the internet only, of course)
  5. Now think about Texas joining the PAC10.
  6. plenty of people have praised the D. I have consistently said they were Championship level and that the O, specficially was not quite there. ST were meh to below average. unless you have some ethereal RB like Ricky, or the D is the 85 Bears, the QB is discussed as "leading the team" in almost any football context. I'm not sure that anyone said Quinn "turned the program" around, do you have that in writing somewhere, numbers of times? I have seen people say he upgraded the position to the extent we could compete for an NC because the QB touches the ball every play and is very important. He may have helped get some better players to come to Texas by transferring to us. There is no other position on the team that is a "unit" unto himself. except maybe kicker(sorry I had to bring K up). Yes, the coach turns the "program" around. We are in a position that better play from any one group, including QB, could have put us over the top. and that is because of the head coach, who is also, crazy enough, responsible for the play of said group.
  7. I can't wait for "the yeah but the defense isn't as good as last year's" posts in the Arch thread. not sure if they will equal the "our schedule is 100x harder this year" or our "receiving corp/running back group isn't up to snuff" posts but we will see.
  8. exactly. one person is arguing that the issue was all Quinn/QB play, one is not.
  9. the QB was good enough if we had a better OL. Funny thing that nfl.com has Ewers combine grade as better than Howard's. quinn is good backup potential starter, howard is avg backup or special teamer.
  10. yes Colt is a much better college QB than Will Howard also. a Colt McCoy level QB wasn't on our team the last 2 years. That is on Sark. We also win the NC with a better OL.
  11. money makes the world go round...
  12. you were the one that claimed we only couldn't run on teams that had 11 NFL players on defense drafted
  13. we all know this already. what point are you trying to make? Colt was a much better college QB than Sark and may end up being a better pro. Colt probably wins 2 NC's with these teams and Sark
  14. what part of where I said we are much better but not there yet is shitting on the OL? and before someone jumps in, Quinn was also part of the O not being championship level.
  15. dude, it is just May, give us some time...like until August 31st, 2025
  16. this was my point about the OL. Quinn was fine(mostly very good not great, some not so good). The inability to establish the running game knowing you had a limited running QB, who got even more limited after his injury is on Sark. It is also on Sark that he decided not to go to his more mobile QB to help with the running game. There has to be a reason for that but I can't imaging what it was, such a mystery. It all starts with the OL. we are much better but not where we need to be and we still had a shot. I think everyone understands that the D was championship level throughout the season and that the O was not quite championship level. Kicking I will leave at "ugh".
  17. someone claimed repeatedly that it was quinn that personally led Texas to the playoffs?
  18. hint for those in the back: the answer includes the words "no" and "one".
  19. Is there any way we can Jedi Mind Trick the guys into believing they LOST game 1? I'm not sure they will know how to play up 1-0. maybe we can get the aggy football dude to 'hipmotize' them.
  20. that is fucking bullshit...hintz won that.
