Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Watching Colt play? It is literally just a description of how I felt watching the games vs how I felt watching Quinn play. I liked Quinn a lot. But, for whatever reason, I never had the confidence that he would make the play when it needed to be made. I felt like Colt always would. To be fair to Quinn, I got to watch Colt for 4 full years and the extreme confidence didn't happen until his third full season. Quinn played 3 seasons, but missed 4, 2, and 3 games for each season respectively. And he probably should have missed 5 games in 2024 because you can't convince me he was physically ready to play against OU or Georgia.

Ohio State and Oregon are good teams. You'll have to explain to me why you're including 7-6 Penn State with losses to 3-9 UCLA and Northwestern in that list. I also don't think you can compare Cignetti's first two seasons with established NIL and the transfer portal to any other time. Transferring in an entire, experienced team simply wasn't an option ever before.

This is all true (although I think the late 2000s Big 12 was pretty comparable to the SEC overall). The big difference between the two for me was Colt's clutchness. I always felt he was going to make the play to win the game. For Quinn, I always hoped that he would. As an example, if you give Colt 4 plays from the 12 yard-line to beat Washington State and reach the finals, I'm very confident he'll do it 9/10 times. For Quinn, that percentage would be more like 5/10. Sure. There are issues. And they should be addressed. But when Quinn wasn't injured, he made it work pretty dang well. So, if you're asking me what the main thing was holding him back from being even more successful as the Texas QB, it would be the injuries.

One of those things is not like the other. Sark made the semi-finals two years in a row. Indiana has yet to win a playoff game, instead ending last year getting absolutely blasted by ND before a couple of late scores to make it look somewhat respectable. Maybe it will make it there this year. But it seems premature to suggest that they've already eclipsed what Sark has accomplished. They are a good team that played an absolutely dog shit schedule. Let's see them actually win a playoff game.

I don't think I disagree with any of this, although things like the o-line struggles were true this year to a much more significant degree than last year. That doesn't change my opinion that the primary thing that held him back during his time here was injuries. When he wasn't injured, he was very productive.

What does this season have to do with Ewers? Ewers was barely functional for the first Georgia game last year. And Georgia knows how to completely take apart our offensive line rules. We should have beat Georgia in the SEC championship if not for drops, a missed block on an INT, and failing to adjust to QB run in the second half. Sark let him down in not having a true maximizing running back or run blocking offensive line to help in the redzone. I agree with that. But I also think the play calling that works between the 20s doesn't work as well in the redzone, so I'm not surprised we changed it up there. There are certainly things Sark could have done better, particularly with personnel decisions. But I think the primary limitation on Ewers' time here was his injuries, not Sark. Ewers clearly couldn't put 100% behind his throws the second half of the season. It would have really helped if he could have.

Those are how we beat Alabama last year and how Quinn was beating Alabama the first time before getting hurt. But generally, we were very much a quick hitting offense in 2024. It didn't always look that way after Quinn came back from injury because he was hesitating. This year we didn't abandon the run game this year when it was working because it basically never worked. Our left guard and center consistently got beat, leading to negative plays and stalled drives. Only a few teams were susceptible to Wisner runs because they were overly aggressive and didn't hold gaps. Our offensive line being terrible and Arch being completely off to start the year (I still blame his summer camp in Alabama) were the largest drivers of our offensive problems. Sark did make adjustments in scheme later in the year, but the major difference came from Arch playing better and finally finding an offensive line combo that wasn't complete garbage.

Yeah, I agree with this. I don't think Sark wasted Quinn. I think he did what he could to maximize Quinn. Ultimately, the injury bug got Quinn and prevented him from reaching his ceiling here. Quinn had elite traits in effortless arm talent, great touch, and quick decision making. Those shined when he played well. He didn't have great pocket awareness when he had to hold the ball. And I think the injuries and playing hurt caused him to hold the ball more often than he would have otherwise. I think the injuries also contributed to some of the bad floaters we saw him from him at times. I think his main limiter at Miami will be same as here: ability to stay healthy.

Do sidewalks decrease home value? Seems like it would be opposite to me.

Again, they were on the what, 25 yard line with 35 seconds left and all timeouts? They played every thing after that like it was the last play and had to be in the endzone.
