when quinn announced he was going pro it was like half of our fan base was watching their twin brother go off to war. the sheer volume of weepy “thank you quinn- no, seriously, thank you- you’ve changed my life” type tributes on this board, on reddit, on twitter, etc, was shocking.
weird how none of that energy or any of those heartfelt tribute posts/threads ever showed up for jahdae barron, kelvin banks, xavier worthy, jaylan ford, byron murphy, t’vondre sweat, ad mitchell, matthew golden, jonathan brooks, or any of quinn’s other objectively better, more impactful, more nfl ready teammates, including bijan robinson(!!).
this fan base has spent the last two+ years acting as if quinn ewers singlehandedly put Texas back on the map, when in reality most of his best work came in getting other people to want to come play here, and not in anything he did on the field, particularly during our biggest games where he often struggled, especially his final two years here. that anyone here is still pushing back against the idea that quinn ewers is the board’s favorite son is insane.
