  1. Not sure what Jerrin Thompson-esque angle you’re going for jimmyjazz. Being in the same company as Aidan Chiles and Hudson Card absolutely qualifies as terrible.
  2. Lagway with a really bad leg is not frightening at all. That would really impact both his ability to throw and run. No way he plays this game after having to sit out while having UGa on the ropes
  3. I don't think they do that label anymore, but his description is the guy we would love to see. "Good height with a plus frame. Pro-style QB with athleticism and mobility that qualify for a dual-threat label. Elite improvisational QB who can extend plays and remain accurate on the move. Throws with a smooth, easy delivery and varies arm angles as needed. Impressive velocity and spin rate really show on routes over the middle and down the seams. Field-stretching vertical arm strength to consistently hit big plays over the top. Also shows encouraging touch on timing patterns and downfield routes that require it. Good runner by design or scramble. Understands how to protect himself as a runner and minimize shots. Shows encouraging pocket presence and awareness. Senses pressure and knows how to react to it. Also willing to stand and deliver under duress and will take a big shot if it means hanging in there to make the necessary throw. Occasionally will take risks, but that also is part of what makes him so good. Release quickness is good in general but could still quicken a bit at times." Feels like they're describing Arch moreso than Quinn. Where is this QB now?
  4. Yea, if you’re gonna be a pure pocket passer, you better have great pocket presence and everyone else around you better know and do their assignments. If people are gonna play us to take away the deep stuff, it would be much easier to punish if Quinn were more willing/able to punish teams with his legs. Thankfully, Arch, KJ, and Dia can all punish teams pretty well with their legs. Trey can even run some once he gets going.
  5. I was just about to post this, he had high expectations like Joe Bergeron had high expectations
  6. Pettijohn turned after feeling like he was less important than dakorien Moore
  7. He’s not wrong, but maybe people aren’t biting on the eye candy as much as they used to. Teams have always played us deep. Sark is also being nice to Quinn publically to protect his mental state. If Quinn shuts down mentally, the season could tank.
  8. It’s much more nuanced than that these days, but it can definitely help in creating some built in advantages
  9. Ryan Bucjevski, Dickson's lil bro.
  10. Have you personally tried them both? Just kidding Georgia has much better talent on the OL than we do, and they usually have a run first offense. Their run production really isn't that great though.
  11. Brian Daboll is on the Texas staff? Sark never coached Jalen Hurts outside of the one national title game loss to Clemson
  12. @Thatguy The plays you chose were certainly ones where other guys were failing more than Quinn. The main argument is that Quinn isn’t a playmaker nor a leader. Is he helping lead the offense or is he just taking it as it goes? When things break down as often as they are clearly doing so, what is he doing to help the situation? What about the plays where he rushes a throw into coverage when he could have extended the play for a positive outcome? Making teams defend our guys for a longer period of time works heavily in our favor.
  13. Sark knows that Quinn failing here as a QB will reflect poorly on his QB development record. We really needed Quinn when we got him and he helped us accelerate the program’s perception. He is also currently one of the aspects holding his team back from ascending even further. Tough situation. Hope he gets his head out of ass and gets drafted day 1 or 2
  14. Quinn's pocket presence was slightly better yesterday, but he still gets jittery when it isn't clean for him. He clearly was thinking about stepping up into the pocket more this game, which he did more often than not. He had a few opportunities to move to the right and extend the play that he failed to do because he was probably just looking to step up in the pocket. He can throw the ball well enough in general, but becomes gets average to below average when asked to do things outside of the structure of the offense.
  15. Not the thread for this convo, but their OL is coming together. Reed isn't as good as LSU made him look, but he's probably better than Weigman. The DL is very very good.
  16. Clear targeting. Brain dead play by #45 there.
  17. Our running backs aren’t doing our guys much help, but the OL should be mauling these guys.
  18. Seeing Hudson Card with a well-thrown ball percentage around 90 invalidates the whole thing. His game is ass incarnate.
  19. He enrolled early, he's just not ready to contribute yet.
  20. The standard is the standard. We celebrate Quinn for his contributions to Longhorn Nation. He could also become a victim of its restored expectations. Much like we got rid of Mack for failing to live up to the standards he helped to set. Hopefully he realizes that there is no future to save himself for if he doesn’t put it all out there for the rest of the season.
  21. You are severely underestimating our opponents if you think that version of Quinn is good enough to win this weekend, at Arkansas, or at A&M. Shit, Florida would be a dogfight. It’s not fair to everyone else on this team to ask them to carry him the rest of the way either. This isn’t a Conner vs Neto situation. We have an stronger idea of what Arch provides the offense.
  22. I’ve rewatched it twice now and even went through the Georgia homer’s film review because apparently I’m a glutton for punishment. It isn’t kind to Quinn at all. I hope he shows who he’s gonna be for the rest of the year against Vandy because this Jekyll and Hyde shit from him will get us beat again.
  23. With Quinn: 10-3 With Arch: 16-1 and a natty Go Horns!
  24. The running game could find more space to operate with Arch’s legs and better deep ball to account for. But you are right about us lacking an elite run game.
  25. Clemson got it done with true freshman Trevor Lawrence.
