  1. Using Junior years is apples for apples also. It’s blatantly obvious why you don’t want to use both QBs 3rd year as starters. Nobody is comparing Colt’s senior year to Quinn’s Sophomore year. The age thing is a useless sidebar. It’s about as useless as comparing Colt and Ewers. Colt is clearly above
  2. I get why you are picking year 2, that was Colt's worse year and Quinn's best. Not shocking since Quinn had a 1st rnd RB, 2nd round WR, 2nd round RB, 4th round TE, and a 6th round WR at the skill positions that year. Arguably the best skill positions on a team any team at Texas. Compare year 3 as starters. Colt: 332 - 433, 76.7% comp, 3859 yards, 34 TDs, 8 Ints... 136 carries, 561 yards, 4.1 per, 11 TDs Ewers: 293- 445, 65.8% comp. 3472, 31 TDs, 12 Ints.... 57 carries, -82 yards, 2 TDs.. They are not particularly close.
  3. Banks should have a floor, no matter how stupid GMs get about height. I believe I heard 4 sacks in ~1600 pass blocking plays. I think he can play LT, but even if you have doubts. He can slide to RT, either guard spot, or play LT in a pinch. Huge value to having that type of versatility.
  4. I have Quinn behind Sam. Quinn may finish his last 2 years on teams that set the record for NFL draft picks for Texas.. Last 2 years for Colt - 10 draft picks For Sam - 8 draft picks For VY- 9 picks Quinn had 11 last year and that number is likely to be met or exceeded this year. His number is going to be in the 20s. List of Texas Longhorns in the NFL draft - Wikipedia VY and Colt were All-American (Colt unanimous) Ewers and Sam peaked at 2nd team all-conference. There is no argument on #1 and #2 for modern era Texas Qbs. I didnt see Street, so I cannot comment on him. I think anyone digging in their heels on players they never seen should be ignored. Colt and VY are legends. Sam and Ewers are good players, but not legends. I have Sam over Ewers, big reason being the 17 turnovers this year, but I understand that is an argument.
  5. I think it is a bit of both. Scouts tend to over think these things. Can I draft a LT that is ~6’3” top 10? Does his height make him a RT/Guard? I know his 3 years of tape says I should, but he is not the prototype. The underwear Olympics are real. There always seems to be a great player that falls and a jag (for the draft) that rises. Banks may drop to 15-20 area and a guy like Alfred Collins may move up early-mid second round. I always find the give and take between measurables and film to be interesting this time of year.
  6. Banks seems to be slipping a bit. Sad to say, but how he measures will probably decide it. People throwing out he is 1 inch from the prototype, not enough length, might be a guard. I hate to see this stuff happen to him, but it is a bit funny considering people yammering about Turntine being a guard in the recruit chat.
  7. That is one thing that helps older guys. Most people dont remember the games.
  8. I believe that number is 17. 12 ints and I see 5 fumbles lost in 14 games. Still very high Quinn Ewers Rushing Stats - NCAA College Football Rushing | FOX Sports (not sure why FOX is the only site I can find with fumbles)
  9. 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
  10. Vasek had something like a 30-35% pressure rate. He has been good when he is on the field, that is also his issue. The best ability is availability and that is what he struggles with
  11. Arch is a playmaker and gun slinger. He is a Manning, but his is an Arch, not a Peyton. I am not sure he turns it over more than Ewers (17 last year), but he will definitely be more exciting. Bobby was saying Texas will need much better QB play to get back to the playoffs next year. I do think Arch has the skills to open up the offense more. Backside DEs cannot crash on the run with Arch's running ability. Arch will have safeties playing more flat-footed with his ability to throw deep and his desire to chuck it down the field. There will be some good and bad, as is the case with every 1st year starter. Most fans understand that. He needs to learn to slide and reign his desire to make the big play.
  12. Perhaps Terry is a generational talent. Perhaps he will be better than Oliver. Even if that is true, he will not make the same noise as a freshman. Justus Terry is not going to start his career in the American conference like Ed Oliver. Ed Oliver was a 5 star in a 2 star conference, that kills the comparison for production
  13. One thing that sticks out is Manning is willing to step into a throw and take a shot.
  14. Just different teams, pretending they are the same is just stupid Quinn was 2-1 vs OU. In those 3 games OU scored a combined 37 pts. In the 2 wins OU scored a combined 3 pts in total Sam was 1-3 vs 0U. In those 4 games OU scored 161 pts (40.25/game). That happens when you face QBs like Mayfield, Murray, and Hurts. Even when Rattler played, they scored 53 vs a terrible Texas defense.
  15. If you are comparing the Big 12 in the early 2000s to the Big 12 in 2023, it is not close. Forgetting SUH's domination and one of the best DL performances I have seen from a college player is an interesting tact. IF you are comparing Stoops OU team to Venables, it is not close. Pretending OU was a remotely capable with Davis Beville playing QB is peak Surly BS.
  16. Typical nonsense. Guy is a stud, but he does not have the proto-typical height. People are confusing what maybe an issue for his draft prospects with his ability to play in college. Ojo may turn out to be the higher drafted player, but Gerry said his career path is different from Turntine. Gerry was saying Ojo is probably going to need a couple years of development before he sees the field. Turntine will likely compete for a starting job early in his time.
  17. Sweat was 2019. Collins 2020. Murphy jumped him and was a 1st round pick. I agree about the useless. My point was Collins always flashed. He was consistent in 2023 in limited snaps. In 2024 he proved he could be consistent with starter snaps. Broughton really struggled vs the run most of his career. He played too high. I said he flipped the switch, because I dont think even the most delusional Texas fan would have dreamed he would have the 5th highest grade among all DTs this year. Somehow we are arguing and saying basically the same thing. Just another day on Surly.
  18. this run has been pretty insane. I think last year Sweat and Murphy were the top 2 rated DTs by PFF this year Broughton and Collins were top 5 PFF College on X: "Highest Graded Defensive Tackles from the 2024 Season⭐️ https://t.co/H6UGrdv5r4" / X I would love for this to continue, but it seems almost impossible
  19. Collins had a lot of talent in front of him. Murphy and Sweat were great in 2024. That is an example of how you would love every position to look.
  20. I think people under-appreciated how well he played in 2023. He was very good in limited time. He was being mentioned in the media prior to the season. The question was can he do it with start snaps. There was speculation that Broughton could get buried on the depth chart in the summer. 2024 SEC DT Rankings: Deone Walker, Tonka Hemingway Bulldoze Their Way to the Top
  21. I am sure they want to add 2 more, but that is not a given. It is a very hard position to add. Texas has been forced to bring in portal DTs but has not been forced to start them. This is a position where recruiting is of the utmost importance. There are very few high-end DTs in the portal. The ones you do find generally come with baggage and a high price. I have not delved into it, but I would guess DT is one of the worst portal positions for value. The best is probably WR.
  22. Dt has to be a concern. PFF had Collins had a high PFF grade coming into 2024 season, so there was at least 1 known. He played well and is likely a day 2 guy. Broughton flipped the switch and it going to be drafted. Both of those guys were 5 year players. Texas found depth in the portal. This year Shaw and Brevard set the floor. Texas is going to be reliant on under-classmen to step-up and set the ceiling. There is talent there, but you never know when the light will go on. I think they will flash, but can they be consistent vs the run?
  23. This is terrible.. It’s like comparing times from a someone who ran a 200m with someone that ran a 400m. You cannot believe this has any substance or logic behind it Quinn’s 2 wins were vs bad OU teams. 1 came with Uncle Rico at QB. That was of the easier games that year.
  24. Gerry been saying he is possible spin down candidate.
  25. This RB class is ridiculous.. If you draft a RB in the first round, you are a moron
