  1. Yep. Maybe it's not as big of a deal as we're making it out to be, but I definitely was thinking of the UGA game. Celebrities all over the field and the lead up to the game almost felt like a Texas coronation. It has to be a little overwhelming.
  2. Sounds weird to say but I'm happy this first game back in the rivalry is at Kyle Field. The hype and pageantry leading into this game could be a distraction for A&M. That shithole will be buzzing all week heading into Saturday night. We get to go on a business trip while they have to deal with way more bullshit outside the locker room.
  3. I'm happy with the wins. The issues with Quinn are always anticipatory for me. I've been convinced for weeks that he'll get injured in the A&M game. Aggies are physical (and dirty) under Elko. As it ends up, he gets hurt the week before. So that concern is/was valid. Some football players seem prone to injury, unfortunately Quinn is one of them. Him being able to move around the pocket (and out of it) seems crucial for offensive success in this game. I'm also concerned with struggles throwing the ball 20 yards past the LOS. Would have liked to see improvement there over the last month, but it hasn't really happened. I think that will catch up with us. Maybe it doesn't matter vs. A&M or even the SEC Championship game if we get there. But deep ball issues put too much stress on other team areas having to be great to perfect. It feels unsustainable.
  4. Well, here's a palate cleanser. Hopefully Quinn can recapture this at Kyle Field. Great footwork and overall urgency running the offense that night. Everything he did out there looks faster and better.
  5. We didn't miss the point. I could spend a whole day editing a lowlight clip of Quinn over 3 years that will make him look just as bad if not worse. But that would be shitty thing to do IMO, and while I'm critical of Quinn, that's below the belt as a Texas fan.
  6. Ok, so actually no one is doing that. And you only have to go back 2-3 months to see talk of him being a top 5 pick and 1st QB taken in the NFL draft. I think that sums up why this thread is a shit show and people are all over the place with their opinions on Quinn. It's an absolute roller coaster ride with him. But as an olive branch towards @Thatguy and you other clowns (/s), I will post the roller coaster scene from Parenthood and try to have Grandma's attitude about it. For now. Hook'em.
  7. Quinn and Arch are almost polar opposite QBs. Arch instinctually looks downfield first, which I think is great. You'd rather try to tame the aggressiveness instead of having to encourage it. I know Sark criticized that aggressiveness in the ULM game (and rightfully so) and he wanted Arch to play smarter. Then Arch did that in the Miss State game where he went 26/31 for 325 yds (and would have been closer to 400 if Johntay doesn't drop a breadbasket deep ball for a TD) and was able to make some safer throws while still going deep in the right spots. Quinn really tries to avoid any contested throws, therefore it's a different style of football. Way more passes within 5-10 yards of the LOS, that's where he's comfortable. But even with a "safer" passing attack, Quinn still makes a lot of WTF plays and is very inconsistent. It's just who he is. I think most fans believe this is how Sark wants to run his offense, but I don't think so. He's curated it to fit Quinn's strengths. Look at Mac Jones's Alabama highlights. Way more explosive offense. Next year with Arch will look a lot different.
  8. Quinn is very inconsistent. In his 3rd year as a starter. He has regressed with the deep ball to the point it's become a joke. I'm also not saying Arch should be the starter. He needs to be ready if Quinn gets hurt or looks lost again like the UGA game. He also showed clear improvement between his first start (ULM) and his 2nd start (Miss State). It's a very good sign. I don't see why Texas fans shouldn't be incredibly excited about his potential and what he's shown us so far on the field. I hope we see the best Quinn on Saturday night.
  9. I'm not gonna do Quinn dirty like that, even though everyone knows his lowlight reel would be just as bad or worse, especially considering plenty of them would be in this 3rd year as a starter
  10. People on this thread have highlighted individual plays that they have issues with. ThatGuy made a Best of The Worst of Arch compilation.
  11. YOU ARE MAKING SHIT UP ABOUT PRACTICE. Stop.
  12. You have standard incompletions in there. Or even completions that were thrown a little off. The last 2 minutes are the UGA game. Just go re-watch all of Quinn before he got pulled in that game.
  13. I'm not a fucking loser, so I won't edit a Quinn lowlight reel. The WTF plays/throws/decisions would probably last an hour. It was a stupid fucking post.
  14. Holy shit, you are a jackass. You edited a lowlight reel for Arch? Do you know how easy this would be to do for Quinn as well?
  15. CJ Vogel was at Sark press conference today. First question was about Ewers' injury, and Sark responded with "II think he's doing ok", which Vogel found to be a not very confident answer at the moment. I'd guess Arch will get good reps at practice today.
  16. Rewatched the game last night. In real time I thought Quinn played well in 1st half. On second watch it was even better. He had three poor throws deep. 2 to Bond and 1 to Wingo. All bad throws. Outside of that any criticism would be nitpicking. The second half was disastrous and Quinn's brain turned into pudding after he became really hobbled. Luckily we didn't throw much and had that epic TD drive to close out the game. Feels like a microcosm of his career. So much good, so much WTF.
  17. 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.
  18. I think Sark is very aware of the outside noise and wanted to make it very clear he doesn't want a QB controversy. Also I believe @TwiceHorn made a good observation. Quinn needs to be able to play dinged up and tough it out.
  19. We have some evidence of Sark being stubborn. I think the majority of Texas fans thought Ewers looked almost unplayable at one point yesterday due to his injury and expected Arch to at least give him a spell. But he stuck with Quinn for every single snap. He doesn't want any controversy.
