Huh?

The 1st drive of the game, Golden is behind their entire defense and Quinn overthrows him by 5 yards. Which undersells just how poorly the ball was thrown, because it wasn't even following the path Golden was running, but was 5 yards inside his right shoulder when he was running across the field on a deep post.

His deep throwing is just abysmal. It’s staggering really.

Gentlemen, seriously, Quinn is who he is. Bearing a dead horse isn't going to make him into Joe Burrow. When he's not face planting from being chased by ghosts, he'll hit 5 yard out if the WR catches it. We should all be on the same page that he's gone next year, and we get a QB with literal suoer genetics. Can we make the NC game and win it? Sure. But it will have to be our defense who carries us. Unless Golden and Bond go superhuman and Jaydon Blue stops fumbling, we are who we are. It's clear there are more issues than just Quinn. We have no RB's that can pass block, by some miracle sometimes Blue can make a burst for a our 20 yards. Sark is intent on square peg round hole trying to run Wisner up the middle and it clearly isn't working. I have no idea why he wouldn't put in Gibson for that since that's what he does. 

Our WR's are fine. Quinn can hit them with a 5 yard out route, but anything outside of that and it's 50/50. The lack of balls to Wingo is also boggling. Sure he's dropped a few, but unless he's targeted more than twice a game we have idea whar he can be. I have no idea why Sark has abandoned the reverse with him since he gains about 30-40 yards with it. My guess is he and Quinn don't practice together (which is dumb af if true). So they have no chemistry. Wingo and Arch do, so I suspect Wingo will break out next season 

With all that said, let's just agree Quinn is average at best, and at worst he's Case Mccoy with a strong arm who is inconsistent and doesn't know how to read a defense use his arm talent.

Bullshit. I am melting down. We lose Banks after this year. And our center that has been here for 6 years. And Helm. And Bond. And Jahdae. And Sorrell. And Collins and most importantly Golden is about to be drafted if he keeps it up. Our only hope is defense at this point. And PK will probably be poached. We have a team that can strike this year. But our qb is a thirsty pussy and his backup is better at the job. The answer is clear. But sark can’t do it bc he needs to be able to recruit.

I mean this is absolutely what he's doing because he's hoping Quinn gets out of his funk. We have all seen the offense with Manning playing, and it was much more explosive vertically.

The dude has over 30 starts in his career and people still feel the desire to handle him with kid gloves. He’s a big boy who would be the first to tell you he needs to play better.

A third year starter at QB should be elevating an offense at a place like Texas. He shouldn’t just be along for the ride or having to be put on a joystick by his playcaller.

There were Texas QB’s in the past who didn’t get half the leash Ewers does in his third season from some in this fanbase just because they are still stuck on his HS rating and some beautiful passes he threw in a spring game and against Alabama a year ago.

This team is good enough to win the national championship and we need our third year starter to be more than a game manager to get there. That ain’t asking for too much.

The thing is when qe is on we are damn near unbeatable. When he is off , we just need him to not turn ball over. Our defense can win games for us. This will work for our 2 last opponents. I think we can ride this defense to the championship. This is literally nfl lite. You win and advance. Each game is its own thing and you live on till you beat them all.

No, because Sarkisian doesn't change his offense. It's the same offense he ran when he got here and he's had 4 QBs run it with varying degrees of success. The best athlete and QB with the best deep ball touch is going to run it next year and the offense is likely going to be more explosive. We also get back our IZ RB which will even make the deep ball better.

Quick question on that….   Did he run the same offense at Alabama when he had a qb who could throw down field?  Did he call the same offense vs Alabama when he could trust his qb to throw downfield?  Does he run the same offense when he calls downfield passing plays at the start of the game and see’s his qb can or can’t do that, that day?

My guess is we are operating with about 60% of the playbook when he plays like he did today. That won’t be good enough on his off nights in the playoffs, even if our defense is elite.

He is a third year starter. My bar is a little higher than “please just don’t turn the ball over!”

Depends on who we're playing and how bad they play against us. That's why this thread is fun but crazy at same time.  60 percent might be good enough if let's say the teams we're playing turn the ball over 6 times each to us. That's not gonna happen of course,but it could. We can go on a heater and roll or qe can suck and we lose out. That's why the enjoy the ride crowd makes sense. We're coming from qb hell and seem to be working out of it but qe is what he is at this point. Time for sark to earn his paycheck.

This is a Chris Leak/Tim Tebow situation. Arch probably isn't ready to be the full time starter, but it's too bad we can't get him more involved in the games somehow.

I disagree. Not saying he should replace Quinn today, but Arch damn well better be ready to be a full-time starter, because he will be next year. He looked like one when he played. even allowing for the imperfections game experience will iron out.

Good God, can you imagine Quinn Ewers if he had Arch's touch on the deep ball?

suck dick pussies.. 

and we’ll all sleep well, clutching our “we beat 5-5 arkansas 20–10 in november” plaques when this season ends with a shit-ton of future nfl players and top tier coaches going home early because our third year starter wasn’t a threat to throw the ball more than 8 yards downfield and spent all game self-sacking because he’s scared to death to be touched.

we’ve got a 5 star team full of 5 star coaches and players being held back by a 2 star QB who might be the worst player on the offense, and yet half of our fan base is mad at the other half for not being happy with an offense that looks like it’s being run a for an emergency third string freshman QB and not “the greatest QB prospect of all time.” you guys keep crowing about wholly unimpressive (more like depressing) wins vs vandy and arky, but something tells me your tune will change when we lose to an inferior team because our glaring weak link played the way he’s been playing all year only this time the opponent wasn’t some .500 scrub team.

It’s unfortunate that Quinn has regressed considering the talent around him. Unless he suddenly flips the switch and sheds his ghosts, I don’t think this team is a playoff contender. Maybe if we had a better running game, but…
 

We all want to believe Arch can carry this team to victory if Quinn is benched, but his play against Georgia wasn’t exactly inspiring. Against a very talented and aggressive defense, he will likely look like the inexperienced QB he is and make some serious mistakes. 
 

I think Sark recognizes this and believes from a game management standpoint, Quinn provides the best opportunity to win. After all, he’s seen far more of Arch’s play against a stout defense than we have.

I won’t let having to watch Case McCoy and Tyrone Swoopes cloud my vision of what I expect from a 3-year stater who played in the playoff last season.

I think that is part of the problem. People won’t let go of the past. I remember 3 years ago when people said “well you have to start Ewers because he can throw the deep ball and it opens up Sark’s offense” and the dude has completed like 3 true deep passes in 3 years.

If it said anything other Ewers on the back of his jersey and he turned in the type of performances he did against OU, Georgia and Arkansas, every single person in this fanbase would be against him.

It's his footwork. I dont understand how a kid that has had a Qb coach since about the time he came out of the womb can have such poor footwork. It been an issue since he came to Texas and even in the Florida game, he would throw off his backfoot with no pressure. It has to be frustrating the hell out of Sark. 

Yeah, but… that’s not what causes him to wilt on days where he’s not able to essentially play 7 on 7.  It does not take much to get Quinn out of his game where he’s thinking more about the rush than what’s going on down field.  And that’s somewhat damming for Someone at Quinn’s level of experience.  He should see the blitz coming and start watering at the mouth with the opportunities it presents down field.

If I was a D coordinator playing Texas, I would blitz early and make sure to get some licks on Quinn even if it cost a couple flags on Texas first two drives.  If you let him just play 7 on 7, you are going to be down two touchdowns anyway en rout to getting blown out.

It’s all related to his footwork. He sees pressure and his feet stop working. He has slow feet and it really shows up with pressure. There are other issues. The most worrying part of the Arkansas poor performance was there wasn’t much pressure

Disagree it’s just a feet mechanics issue.  He doesn’t actually have to be pressured to get nervous.  He just has to see a blitzer coming.  Their rushers may not even be engaged with our linemen before Quinn is trying to figure out what to do in a pocket that has yet to collapse.  That’s mental, not mechanical.

Why? He’s had more time learning the system than Quinn did. 

Quinn was coming into a team that was 5-7, started Casey Thompson and Hudson Card the year before, and only had Hudson Card and Maalik Murphy to compete with.

He was also a highly touted transfer ($$$) who was brought in to be the savior at the position. Hudson Card wasn't gonna start over him unless he was significantly better.

Arch has the luxury of having Quinn, and even Maalik in front of him last year. Time to learn, mature, and refine before needing to do it full time.

I suggest a Five Point Plan to settle this disagreement once and for all.

1. We watch the Texas vs. Florida game. Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss.

2. We watch the Texas vs. Arkansas game. Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss.

3. We watch the Texas vs. Kentucky game. Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss.

4. We watch the Texas vs. Aggy game. Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss.

5. We watch the next Texas game of the season (Bowl game, SEC Championship, or First round playoff). Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss -30 if this is a bowl game +10 if it's the SEC championship.

 

Then we find the average of these five sums. This gives us his measure on the ULTIMATE SCALE OF PUSSYTUDE/BOSSNESS (working title...in process)

 

0-65.0 : THE ULTIMATE PUSSY : Sorry Quinn, you are officially and forever a Huge Pussy

65-75 : PRETTY MUCH A PUSSY : Quinn, you had so much potential but you ended up playing like a Pussy for us. There might be hope for you in the future though.

75-85 : KIND OF A PUSSY : Quinn, we would have had a real shot this season if you didn't play like a pussy one too many times. Good luck in the NFL though bro.

85-95 : MOST LIKELY NOT A PUSSY : Quinn did enough to win, but could he have done more? (I admit if we end up here the argument will go on. I'll take my chances)

95-100 : DEFINITELY NOT A PUSSY : You can say what you want about Quinn Ewers, but he ain't no pussy.

100+ : DUDE IS A BOSS : It turns out you guys have just been haters the whole time. Potential Longhorn Legend.

 

(This is all completely arbitrary and not based on any kind of science or intelligence)

May the testes be with you, Quinn.

1. Texas 49-17 vs. Florida. Score = 100.0 (QBR 90.0 +10 for win)

2. Texas 20-10 vs. Arkansas Score = 72.0 (QBR 62.0 +10 for win)

3. We watch the Texas vs. Kentucky game. Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss.

4. We watch the Texas vs. Aggy game. Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss.

5. We watch the next Texas game of the season (Bowl game, SEC Championship, or First round playoff). Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss -30 if this is a bowl game +10 if it's the SEC championship.

 

So Quinn is pacing MOST LIKELY NOT A PUSSY, with an average score of 86.0 so far.

The arguments go on...

At this point, this seems like a fair assessment. I’ve tried to state away from condemning Ewers as a pussy, but I can see where it’s easy to lob that damning indictment at him. It’s clear that his game is finesse, not power and passion. He lacks the charisma, swagger, physical toughness, and durability that we want to see in our QB1. He’s a good college quarterback who has had flashes of great, but never elite. He’s good enough to get us to the CFP, but I’m not convinced about him leading the way to winning the whole thing. I’d love to be proven wrong and eat some crow.

He literally gave Quinn multiple times to prove he could throw downfield in the first half. Quinn proves he can’t, running was definitely not totally abandoned but it was 2 yards with a 4-8 sprinkled in not like it was working great.  That’s back to the game plan, if you can throw downfield it opens up the run. Sark has to throw out part of the playbook because he can’t trust his qb to throw downfield.  Some of ya’ll that blame Sark’s play calling  don’t understand football very much obviously.  Watch a game where Quinn is hitting downfield passes actually and see the difference. 

He’s abandoned all passes except the we screen, fake wr backside screen to the rib, and curl route. There are a few isolated exceptions but this is our passing game. If that’s all throws Quinn can make we’ve been lied to for 3 years and Quinn shouldn’t be the start now. 
I don’t believe that Quinn has forgotten how to the deep balls as soon as the qb wisperer got ahold of him. He made all of those throws in high school. We only go deep 2 or 3 times a game.

This year's QB draft class is not exactly great, so it is a good year for him to go pro.  NFL Draft Buzz has a QB ranking for the 2025 draft.

  1. Sanders
  2. Ward
  3. Ewers
  4. Milroe
  5. Nussmeier
  6. Beck
  7. Gabriel
  8. Altair
  9. Rourke
  10. Klubnick
  11. Dart


CBS has Ewers as the #3 QB and #18 overall prospect.
ESPN has Ewers as the #3 QB and #34 overall prospect.

We've seen so much of Ewers that most of us would declare "he's not the 3rd best QB coming out" or "he sucks" or whatever.  Sanders is the clear #1 QB (IMO).  After that, it's up in the air.  
In 2024, 6 QBs were picked in the top-12 picks: Williams, Daniels, Maye, Penix, McCarthy, Nix.  The next QB - Spencer Rattler - was not picked until the 5th round.

Teams who may be looking for a QB - and be wiling to spend a high round pick on it.

  1. NYG
  2. Browns
  3. Panthers
  4. Raiders
  5. Dolphins
  6. Titans
  7. Rams

Very few new mock drafts have Ewers in the first round, but many have him in 2nd round.

fwiw

Sark needs to make Quinn run the football. Everything with his pocket footwork is backpedaling.
 

On the first drive 3&9 sack, the OL has done a good job, there is 20 yards of green grass and three holes to choose from…….instead Quinn is in a trance looking downfield as he steps up and walks right into a sack from a fully engaged lineman with green grass all around. 
 

He doesn’t even consider running even when the D is giving him 20 yards of space. Take the yards
