  1. damn, you guys are just a fuckin ray of sunshine
  2. Does it matter if it was the worst in 4 years or the 2nd worst in 4.02 years?
  3. I am not saying PFF is 100% accurate and 230th sounds low. He has been bad the last 2 weeks. PFF gave him 6 turnover worthy plays vs Georgia, which is was the most by a single player in the last 4 years. I would not get caught up in the exact number, but it is confirmation that your eyes are not lying to you. He is really struggling.
  4. This is presented in the typical cable news fashion. Here is the truth of the situation. 1. Quinn Ewers.. The 14th ranked QB in the SEC by PFF and 230th overall in the nation. He is showing really bad pocket awareness and poor decision making, since coming back from injury. 2. Arch Manning. Higher ceiling player with limited experience, that is likely to make 1st yr QB mistakes. There is no perfect choice. If Quinn was playing well there really isnt a discussion (well, this is Surly). Picking either QB requires some faith at this time. Choice A is dont trust your lying eyes and believe that the QB you have seen since the injury will snap his fingers and become a high end QB in the short-term (vs Vandy it is possible) Choice B is into the unknown. Go with the higher ceiling player and hope his 1st year mistakes are not crippling and he is fast learner. Both choices come with obvious risks.
  5. You left Moore uncovered and drew up a defense where the NB goes from 10 yards deep at the numbers, comes to the middle of the field to cover Bond on the shallow cross, and then stays with him to the numbers. I have to assume that, because you can’t let Bond run free from where the RT is to the numbers on the left. Now have 2 wide open WRs. Not that any of that matters, because the Safety got depth and was 20 yards deep, so that was clearly not the call.
  6. You need to slow down. You are spinning so fast you are going to make yourself dizzy. There is no yellow line on the field? Come on. Did you look at the play? Who is he passing him off to? The safety is deep over the top of Helm. The corner is out by the numbers. You have LB on Bond’s drag. The other one is over the top of him, there is no chance he gets to the drag or to the slant. You started off with he was waiting to throw beyond the sticks, then there is no yellow line in the field, and now he is passing off to a defender that isn’t close to either route.. If it helps you out I went back to look at this play after hearing Babers bitch about this, just to see what he was talking about (I was at the stadium, didn’t notice).
  7. Almost nothing in here that is accurate. Now a slant can’t get 6 yards, especially one that is uncovered. He is looking to the right. You have a drag, slant, and Corner route. Literally comes off the slant to the drag and you are saying he is waiting to throw beyond the sticks by looking to hit the shortest route available. Each to their own I guess
  8. I totally get why he wants to attack with the pass, but Vandy is also 15th in the SEC in rushing average per attempt. With Texas QB situation where it is, I would like to see a much more balanced opening script. Texas ran it 6 times in their first 19 plays for 3.8 last week (I cut it off at 10-0, so normal offense). I think the run/pass script needs to get more balanced, until the QB situation ceases to be an issue
  9. or this one Its more damning given the score of the game
  10. You can be honest about what we have seen recently from the QB position and appreciate what Quinn has done in the past. We dont have to make this a political issue where you have to pick a side and blindly argue for it no matter what the facts are.
  11. Now let me ask you a question. Do you think the bad version of Quinn the last 2 weeks is substantially better than Arch? This is where I come in on this argument. If Texas is going to go into every game wondering what they will get out of the QB position, then I am in favor of the younger QB with a higher ceiling. The argument should not be that Texas can win despite the QB play. The odds of going 4-0 with inconsistent QB play is not very good. This is a very strange situation, where we have seen the starter fall from top 2/3 in the draft to benched in about 6 weeks. This is really up to Quinn. Vandy is 91st in pts allowed per drive, so he is not going to have a better opportunity the rest of the season to silence the critics
  12. I have no idea how Arch would have fared. Probably would have been similar. People are being critical of Ewers performance, because everyone knows the last thing Sark wanted to do was start a QB controversy by benching Ewers. Perhaps it is just morbid curiosity to see what led Sark to this point. I do not know if the current version of Quinn can go 4-0 vs Vandy, Florida, UK, and Aggy. Just like you do not know if Arch could go 4-0 vs those teams. Your argument loses a lot of power when you say "its a toss up as to which version of Quinn". The whole reason to start Quinn over Arch is for command of the offense and consistency. If he can not deliver on those 2, what is the argument for Quinn? I am not calling for Arch to start the Vandy game. I hope Ewers looks like early season Ewers and throws for 300+ and 3 TDs. I am also in favor of a meritocracy. If Quinn performs anywhere near what we have seen the last 2 weeks, its time for a change. To be fair, if it was any other position on the field there would not be a discussion about it. PFF gave Quinn the lowest score of his career vs Georgia. Yes, worse than OSU and TCU. He also ranks the 230th best Qb in the country and 14th in the SEC by PFF. Maybe that is a bit off, but it is pretty good indication that Quinn is not playing anywhere near where he is capable.
  13. That angle shows you absolutely nothing. You need to look at the end zone angle. At 2:30 Quinn is set, Bolden is breaking at the 28, 11 is on Bond on the crosser, and the CB is yards outside of Banks. Ball should be coming out there. Bolden only needs the 33. He is going to get it. You can see Quinn come off Bolden and look to Bond around 2:31 with Bolden all by himself on the 32 yard line. He gets hit milliseconds later. It’s pretty clear Ewers passed on the slant and went to Bond. Why I don’t know
  14. That isn’t the check down. It certainly isn’t a millisecond before the hit, unless you believe the CB can cover 4-5 yards in a millisecond. Perhaps you should go to the highlights and look at the play seeing how the front side opens up.
  15. I think this is bit simplistic. This is a fvcked up situation. You have Ewers who was projected 1st or 2nd QB after Michigan. He gets hurt and comes back and doesn’t look anything like the QB that started the season. You also have a back-up that has a higher ceiling than Quinn. Quinn playing his best as 3rd year starter ends this discussion, but he isn’t. I doubt even Sark or Quinn know how to fix it, outside playing a shitty defense. I agree the playoffs are less likely with Arch, but a run in the playoffs may be more likely with Arch. The only issue is he would need all the reps to get there. This may be the shittiest QB situation a Texas coach has faced. Sark and most fans are hoping Quinn comes out on Saturday and looks like Tom Brady. If he comes out looking poorly, then we are probably going to see Arch. I am not saying start Arch for Vandy. I am saying that leash on Arch should be short
  16. I put it in there, because it was such a pivotal play in the game. That is 3rd and 6. Hit Bolden and it is a first down at a minimum and it could have been a big play if Bolden makes the LB miss, instead it is 1st and goal for Georgia. If you go through it, you will see Ewers come off Bolden and look at the shallow crosser that is covered right before getting hit. It is 3rd and 6, not sure why he would turn down and easy throw for the 1st down.
  17. WHat? Bolden is wide open. Ewers did not throw it. Ewers would have gotten lit up, but it would have been Bolden vs a LB one on one instead of a fumble. Blocking and free CB have nothing to do with Quinn not hitting a wide open quick slant. Maybe he waiting on Gunnar's break and going deep with it, but that didnt really happen all game.
  18. Thought this was worse This is the CB blitz that led to Georgia's first TD. Quinn is looking at a open Bolden. Throw the damn ball
  19. Does it matter? The are ton of post on this subject (I am big part), but the shit is simple. There is no reason to debate the merits of Quinn's games prior to the injury. He does not look like that QB. Quinn needs to pull his head out of ass in a hurry or Arch needs to play.

    TEXAS QB TALK

    Not sure I agree with this one. A big part of Quinn's problem is that internal clock is ticking too fast. He is abandoning clean pockets at times (free up rushers) or hitting the check down without giving the play a chance. Arch will sit back there and eat a Po Boy. I dont think it has really hurt him though. The terrible sack was more of a lesson that he can beat HS and G5 LBs to the edge, he cant beat NFL Lbs to the edge. Like most 1st time starters, Arch needs to learn throwing it away can be a good play.
  21. I agree with this. Quinn was bad, but I dont think I would give a C grade to any position group (maybe outside of Helm). OL was not 7 sacks bad, but they were not good either. WRs had velco jerseys on for much of the game and Georgia DBs out-muscled them all game. RBs missed holes and blocks (forgot who it was, but Blue or Wisner got airborne in bad way trying to pass block). This was not a QB friendly environment.
  22. Problem with all of this is we are thinking statically. I dont think anyone would argue that the Quinn that played the first few games is better than Arch. The Quinn we have seen the last 2 weeks is at least worth a discussion. On the flip side you have Quinn bashers running in here pretending the Quinn we saw the last 2 games is the guy we have seen his entire career. That is just stupid. The truth is somewhere in the middle. Quinn wasnt reading the field very well vs Georgia. He turned down several deeper throws for check downs, which makes no sense given the context of the score. Could Arch have played a better 2nd half, than Quinn? I have no idea. It is possible, not probable, but possible. There is a chance he could have adjusted to the speed after halftime. It also possible Georgia would have had his head spinning all game. Truth is nobody really knows how Arch would have played. Right now I am just hoping this discussion doesnt need to be had on Saturday
  23. These 2 posts back to back are fantastic.
  24. I wonder how many snaps Wingo got. I was at the game, so you miss a lot live. There was a lot shitty things going on with the offense. WRs were struggling to get separation especially in the first half. I would have loved to more Wingo. Just think Bond and Wingo on the field together would be a different dynamic
  25. When Baxter went down this was one of games people mentioned that Texas would miss him. This is not a swipe at Blue or Wisner. Baxter pass blocking would have been a huge asset. Assuming camp reports were correct, he would have been a guy to get you the tough yards. Unfortunately, the only RB that is really suited to run inside is a freshman. He can’t pass block, so you won’t see him vs elite defenses.
