It's not like we've been cranking out QBs in the last 25 years. VY flamed out, Colt never really got going, Simms had some moments.

VY won ROY then got Fisher’ed

Colt got Browns’ed

But yeah we haven’t had shit in the modern era…

One thing about Sark, maybe he sucks but he gets top QB talent to come to Texas

Did Bradford ever get a win? He did play for a horrible franchise(that I never followed).

Yeah, he was the last rookie to get a stupid ass contract.

He still may not be a long term starter and I say that to buttress against people calling me a fan boi, but I can’t help but think sark wasted this dude even with the two semis appearances. Fuck.

Hopefully

VY 31-19 (last game played was 2011)
Colt 11-25 (last game played was 2022)
Sam 0-3 (last game played was 2022)
Quinn 1-1

Texas starting QBs in the NFL since our national championship are a whopping 43-48. The biggest chunks of those 43 wins are VY's 06, 07 and 09 seasons

Colt had arguably the best NFL career possible. He mostly sat on the bench for 14 seasons, didn't get his brain puréed.

How so?

It's always Sark's fault.

I’m aware. I want someone to spell out how ewers’s largest weaknesses while at Texas were attributable to sark.

Incredibly shitty playcalling comes to mind immediately.

He’s now getting the best football coaching/training available. I’d expect most players to look better in the NFL than college if they belong in pro football

James Harrison thinks you’re wrong.

Man that was a beautiful ball in the end zone.

Quinn also suffered a bunch of injuries at Texas, some of which he played through (ankle, oblique, etc.). He's now had nearly a year to heal up.

OL pass pro broke down often, play calling was stubborn (see first point), run game was at key points non-existent, QE's footwork barely changed in his time here, in several instances including the winning TD vs UW, WR play was lazy. while each of these issues has a player component to it, everyone of these issues has a significant coaching element to them as well. All on the offense, he's the OC and he's a well known micro-manager as well as the OC and HC, so yeah, it's on him.

QE pocket awareness was not great, he was injury prone as well which can be attributable to QE, but there's a credible argument Sark did not do what Sark needed to do with QE. Same can be said last year wrt Arch.

63 yard TD.

This why I say Milwee is not a good QB coach. Here that probably would have been a floater that took to long to get there. In this example it had some zip.

We never had a fully healthy Ewers at Texas

OL and run game are about the only components I’d blame on Sark. And some of the OL was attributable to Ewers sacking himself and having happy feet.

I’m not sure I’d attribute footwork to Sark since at the end of the day, the player has to execute it in games. We don’t know whether he got coaching on that or not. Sark called plays to Ewers strengths, which we obviously saw in the change of playcalling to Arch, so I think that’s bullshit.

At the end of the day, Ewers is an extremely talented QB physically with some issues between the ears, but we’re all cheering for him. Except Derka. Also, let’s not pretend the OL for the dolphins isn’t dog shit, so the OL concerns ring hollow to me. Achane is a stud despite the weak OL, and if you disagree Tua’s mush brain would like a word.

Next week will be a challenge - the Patriots on the road. They're a heck of a lot better than the teams he's faced so far (although the Bungles appear to be playing better with Burrow back.)

Will it though? Broncos have a game against the chargers who should be resting everybody as they probably want to lose and play the winner of Steelers and ravens. Broncos have tie break so Nee England is likely 2 seed. They might rest a whole bunch of dudes after locking up division. Or, maybe not. Always interesting to see who tries and who doesn’t in last week of year.

Chargers would need to win AND the Texans to lose to Indy - Texans own the 5 seed right now with a W next week

Chargers losing would knock them to the 7 seed to play NE or 6 seed to play JAX if the Bills lose to NYJ (lol)

If they knew the result of the Bronco game then I'd agree but their games are on at the same time so I'd expect NE to play to win.

and this. everyone involved has something to play for (except Miami).

Then NE probably tries in the hopes the Broncos lose? Or maybe they play in the first half and scoreboard watch to see what’s going on in Denver at the same time.

Likely that, I'd say

More than who plays and who doesn’t would be probably how much effort they put into game planning. With 1 seed in play probably a lot. Too jumbled to start prep early on likely playoff opponent.

This is a bit overboard. Texas was a good pass blocking unit last year. Quinn was never hurting for targets at Texas. Just look at the skill position players Quinn had at Texas:

Bijan, Rojo, Brooks, and Blue were all drafted.

Worthy, Whittingham, Mitchell, and Golden at WR

Helm and Sanders all drafted.

Reason people loved Quinn going to Miami was it was a great fit for Quinn. Lot of quick passing and a smart OC that schemes up a lot of quick open looks. I am not sure what Sark should have done other than surround him with a better run game (that is on Flood and Ill beat that drum this offseason). Sark went to a short, rhythm passing game with Quinn. We all know Quinn is good when you can keep him on schedule. It his ability to stay in control when things break down that will make or break his NFL career.

Sark makes plenty of mistakes, but he is also gets blamed for a ton of things. Some are 100% on point, some are nonsense.

He has four jobs!! HC, recruiter, OC, babysitter. Give that man a raise

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.

Long developing pass plays haven’t worked out so well for sark and his offense with legit NFL talent at the QB spot especially against UGA and tOSU. He abandons the run even when it’s working in big games. He needed to move to a more college-based spread attack (11 personnel at most), quick pass plays, shot gun even hurry up offense with the pro style mixed in. Same shit he needed to do this year and finally did. My recollection was he did it more with QE than Arch but I don’t think enough to win the 3-5 games that mattered when QE was here.

And that also hurt his draft stock. I'd bet a lot of teams took him off of their QB draft board completely after he got injured against UTSA.

When you see he played football at Yale it all makes sense.
