      Dumb list is dumb.

      Ole buddy is standing behind an inexperienced line. Instead of taking sacks he is throwing the ball away or throwing it early. Despite all the times someone has come completely untouched he's only been sacked 2 or 3 times. If he didn't throw the ball away all the time his completion percentage would be in the high 60's. 

       The stat most of us care about is the guy is (if you take the Bama game out because he was in there for a quarter and playing well) 4-1 as a starter. In his worst start we still barely lost. He throws with great anticipation and touch. In fact, you could say that's part of the problem with incompletions. Ball is out before the receivers are even looking for it. 

    I never said one thing negative about him. Just posted stats.

    Now do sacks… points… and defenses faced.

    If you can’t see the upgrade at the position compared to last year, or even compared to Card this year, you probably should stop posting about football.

    You people are bizarre.

    Point is, he had A LOT of hype coming in. I know he is young, but so were most of those other QBs. Nothing wrong with expecting more from him, I surely have. But, like I said, he will get better and YES, I prefer him to Card. I was simply showing the stats. 

  3. First six STARTS for these Texas QBs:

    Ewers: 110-173 (58%), 1,336 yards, 13 TDs, 5 INTs (***** recruit, 1.000 rating)

    Card: 92-139 (66%), 1,127 yards, 9 TDs, 1 INT (**** recruit, 0.9721 rating)

    Thompson: 103-162 (64%), 1,456 yards, 16 TDs, 6 INTs (**** recruit, 0.9021 rating)

    Ehlinger: 133-239 (56%), 1,658 yards, 7 TDs, 6 INTs (**** recruit, 0.9446 rating)

    Buechele: 123-193 (64%), 1,500 yards, 13 TDs, 5 INTs (**** recruit, 0.9250 rating)

    I know I know, we have a long time to go with QE. But his first six starts are definitely underwhelming for a guy who was rated as a "perfect" recruit. I am confident he will get better and can't wait to see it. 

  4. Random stats:
    Last 10 matchups: 7-3 for TCU.
    Last time they played in Austin: TCU won.
    Texas is 101st in pass defense. TCU is 21st in passing offense. 
    TCU is 95th in pass defense. Texas is 49th in passing offense. 
    Texas is 32nd against the run. TCU is 13th in rushing offense.
    TCU is 70th against the run. Texas is 35th in rushing offense. 
    TCU is 38th in 3rd down conversion offense. Texas is 93rd in 3rd down conversion defense.
    Texas is 51st in 3rd down conversion offense. TCU is 64th in 3rd down conversion defense. 
    TCU ranks 16th nationally in fewest penalties (42 total, 4.67 per game)
    Texas ranks 71st in fewest penalties (58, 6.44 per game).
    TCU seems to start slow, finish strong. Texas starts fast, finishes like shit.

    To me, their main advantage is Duggan. He just makes plays when needed.

  5. Ever since I first saw him throw my first thought was "why doesn't he throw the ball harder?" It always seems like he flicks it instead of throw it. Impressive when you see how far he throws it sometimes, but still. It's like everything is a lob with touch on it. That being said, I am glad he is our QB. He will get better. I guess just "flicking it" doesn't make you a 5* QB and one of the highest rated of all time, so what the hell do I know? 

  6. Bored at work and was curious how Quinn's first five games of action compared to other top college QBs. I think these are fairly accurate :):

    Quinn: 82-142 (57%); 1,139 yards, 11 TDs, 5 INTs (ULM, Alabama, ou, Iowa State, Oklahoma State (a) 

    Caleb Williams: 77-108 (71%); 1,171 yards, 14 TDs, 1 INT (Western Carolina, Texas, TCU, Kansas (a), Texas Tech) (First road game: 15-20, 178, 2/1)

    Bryce Young: 108-148 (73%); 1,365 yards, 17 TDs, 2 INTs (Games vs: Miami, Mercer, Florida (a), Souther Miss, Ole Miss) (First Road game: 22-35, 240, 3/0)

    CJ Stroud: 104-161 (65%); 1,699 yards, 21 TDs, 3 INTs (Minnesota (a), Oregon, Tulsa, Rutgers (a), Maryland) (First Road game: 13-22, 294, 4/1)

    I know a lot of factors go into those numbers. Ohio State and Bama had some of the best WR rooms in the country, hell some of the best all time. Their offensive lines were great too. I think the biggest difference for Texas is the offensive line. VERY young and inexperienced. Let's just hope Quinn doesn't continue what happened against Okie State.

  7. I thought in the preseason we would not do any better than 9-3 this season. We still can do that, but it is not looking great. I think Quinn will get better. There HAD to be something wrong with him during the okie state game. It wasn't just the "first road start" narrative. Who knows what it was. Sark definitely should have seen that Quinn wasn't right and put in Card. Those are the decisions that come with being the head coach.

    I think you are having a problem reading. Nobody said Ewers was good today. Maybe the biggest play of the game was Worthy dropping the TD pass in the 4Q. You have Red going nuts on the sideline, because he didn’t go out on a RPO called on 3rd down and Quinn had to throw the ball away. Game ended on a strike to Sanders that bounced off his hands and into a OSU players hands 

    I’m going off of all the comments “wr played like shit.” Maybe they did, but a qb can’t play like Ewers did and win a game. Hell, the announcers couldn’t get over the fact at how many “overthrows” he had. He was off all game and it was obvious early. Can’t blame the WRs when the QB can’t get the ball to them. 

  9. How are people blaming the WRs? Ewers sucked. That is it. The question is: why the FUCK did we throw almost 50 times? Why no handoffs to the guy in motion. The motion was working so well early, then we went away from it. I am beginning to think, for the first time, that Sark isn’t the answer. I am tired of this. Can we PLEASE burn and get rid of all the “All Gas No Brakes” shit? We suck at keeping the lead and everyone knows it.
