I'm starting to think that there's a lot of people on here that only watch highlights of other games and see all the pretty little throws and catches ... They done see the missed throws to open receivers, they don't see the over throws, and assume that all the other QBs are going deep 35 for 35 every game.
Quinn's accuracy from any angle has been a huge factor all season. He misses throws like every single person who's ever played QB has done also. But he makes throws from arm angles that not many others can make.
Vince and Colt are god's. Vince without his legs is just another above average QB who's played college ball. Colt accuracy was generational. It helped having Shipley that would catch anything withing 10 of him. He'd go up and catch some balls way over his head.... and Colt had plenty of interceptions also.
Name one true freshman who's started at Texas (or anywhere if you like) that's been light years ahead of Quinn 14 games into their college career. It's not a long list. There's been plenty who have come in that have been on par with Quinn and plenty who had a rough start. Plenty of those turned out pretty good. Yes, johnny fuckin football... Johnny boy didn't give two shits about aggy, much less about playing for aggy or not, which makes it so much easier to play the games as if it's just another back yard Sunday afternoon. Run around until you are finally in trouble, then chuck it down field in Evan's general location.
I'm not sure we've had a QB since Colt who would have us 6 - 1 this season. Much less their Sophomore year. He's not perfect by any means, but he should be 2- 0 against Alabama and OU. He handed OU it's biggest loss against us in a 49 to zip woodshed.... He lit up OU in a three point loss that came down to shitty red zone play calling, and shitty 2 min defense.
He hasn't hit the long ball like some have this year, but most of them haven't hit the other throws or avoided the turnovers like Quinn has either, which is much more important than the deep ball. Even this year's golden boy has been benched.
