Team losses. Quinn Victories!
 

 Anyway I don’t get why Quinn would transfer if he decides to stay in school. All the reasons he should start this season will apply next season with even more wins on his tally and more experience.  Do we really want to go into next season with a QB who only has 2 wins when we could have a QB with 23 plus wins and 2 playoff appearances.  From a football perspective seems like an easy choice.

And there was a reason he put him back in there too. Our idea of bad needs a little reminder. Bad is Dart vs Florida. Bad is Beck vs Ole Miss. Bad is Milroe vs OU. If Ole Miss, Georgia, or Bama get OU/Arkansas Quinn they don't lose any of those games. Otherwise agree on Ann Arbor Quinn.

Before the UGA game, Quinn was projected to go in the first round. Now there is talk about him potentially coming back and transfering because his draft projections have taken a nosedive. Don't blame that on the entire team. None of the other draft prospects have suffered the same fate, so that should tell you something even if you think that many fans have turned on him irrationally.

And this is where I get irritated. "If Quinn has a bad game".
When I went back and looked at the Georgia tape WE had a bad game all the way around. Defensively a couple guys were saving us with individual play but we weren't playing well. They were moving the ball on us through the air. We couldn't stop the run. The entire LOS was being pushed forward 3 yards at snap. Etienne was getting chunk yardage everytime he touched it. We couldn't get to Beck at all. He had all day to stand back there and survey the field. We settled in for a couple drives in the second half only to have busted plays when we need a stop the most.
On offense our line was getting pummeled. We couldn't create running lanes. We had bad penalties at the worst times. We were getting confused with simple stunts, and guys were turning the corner on tackles. The first one by the endzone was Quinn's fault for not stepping up but the second one where he got the ball knocked out he did step up and they still got to us. Receivers were getting bullied in routes. They just were overall way way more physical than we were and we got caught with our pants down.
That looked like an early 2000s OU game where we just weren't mentally ready to play as a whole and then we come back here talking about "If Quinn has a bad game". That's what used to piss me off about blaming games on Simms too. We removed Simms from the equation and still took the same ass-whippings because it wasn't about the quarterback it was about matching physicality and effort level. The quarterback was just a result of not handling business.

Will you at least admit Quinn played the worst out of a bad showing all around? Or can you not even do that?

Dude, it’s ok to say he had a shitty game that night. This is getting comical. You have to have some skin in the Ewers game at this point. It’s the only thing that makes any sense at all.

really? That doesn’t seem like rational Sark

ESPN now puts him #6 QB prospect, behind the usual suspects and Drew Allar, ahead of Dillon Gabriel and Jaxson Dart.

Stats they point out: #2 out of 129 QBs in most passes thrown below LOS.  #3 in lowest YPA.  and ~20th in lowest QBR while pressured (8.0).

You have no idea what you are talking about at all. Quinn was 4th or 5th since the beginning of this year. Not sure what draft info you have but because of his size, lack of mobility, and being injury prone he will never be the first QB off the board as far as the draft pundits are concerned. His only hope is combine testing and pro day.

  @shadow_operative judges everything in a vacuum. Ewers is a 5* recruit because of the things he can do on the field. Those things don't need to translate into wins in order for him to finish college as the number 1 draft pick. Many a college QB got drafted high off of shitty teams, so let's put that to bed right now.

You two clowns are missing the point. If you cannot outrun defensive ends or linebackers you are always going to have a bad day behind center with blitzers coming free. Always. And that has been my point. Quinn is who he has always been. He has to stay relatively clean to be effective. How he has played has been connected to how the line has played over the last two seasons. He isn't going to throw a ton of wtf interceptions like Dart, Milroe, or Beck. Keep him clean and you are almost always going to get a relatively clean stat sheet. Missed deep balls and all. Now I am someone who appreciates a steady ship as do the coaches which is why he is playing over Arch. It's not comical or about having "skin in the game". Carson Beck threw us 3 picks despite us never getting a hand on him. Not one sack. Now flip that and ask yourself how would Quinn play in a game where he never got sacked? Probably a 5 TD night right?

Look at the two games we kept Quinn clean. Michigan and Florida. Quinn goes for 43-60 537yards 8TDs and 0ints, and that's with us throwing a towel over his shoulders just after half vs Florida.

Last year in games we gave up one sack or less Quinn went for a combined 92-138(67%) 1249 10TDs and 2ints. Wanna know why Quinn lit Bama up last year? 0 sacks given up. You want Quinn to play well vs Georgia? Don't give up 7 fucking sacks in a single game. It's not hard people.

He self sacks plenty. He’s been bad and panicky in the pocket like half the time since he got hurt.  Like he’s seeing ghosts.  The protection has overall been good.

The non-UT perception of Ewers has been poisoned by Dr. Pepper.

Whoever wrote that line about no backups needs to be castrated with a butter knife.

Because we would be getting year four of the Quinn Ewers Experience ("Is he hurt? When is he coming back? He looked good for awhile before they got pressure on him. Why can't he still complete a deep pass?") while watching Arch play for LSU or Alabama.

If Quinn came back as the starter next year then Arch is gone. That is the difference between next year and this year. That ain’t happening. We aren’t going to miss out on Arch for a couple years so Quinn can try and improve his draft status.

Ewers walked with the Seniors. He's already a millionaire. I might believe he'd transfer, but he won't be returning.

We still have at least three games to play... maybe as many as six.

He is not coming back. Stop.

Even if he falls out of Rd1, he's not coming back. He's going to make enough money in the NFL, whether rd1 or rd2. At worst, he'll be a well paid backup for 15 years. On the right team, he'll be a steady QB1. 

Go win this bitch.

Can't imagine any NFL team taking Ewers in either of the first two rounds.

Minimum would be 2 games left. (Aggy and whoever we play in a bowl game/first round playoff.)

Hopefully we are playing 5 or 6 more

FCB with an update on Ewers 

One source close to the situation said Ewers' ankle sprain wasn't progressing as quickly as initially hoped. That source said there's obviously still time for the ankle to respond to treatment before Saturday.

Monday's practice was more of a walkthrough as Texas put in the game plan for Texas A&M, so not much was required physically of Ewers.

Tuesday and Wednesday were more physical practices, and Ewers' ankle "was in a stiff brace."

"Quinn took the first snaps with the first team offense, but he was definitely limited," the source said.

Ewers has been getting daily treatment on his ankle, which will continue on Thanksgiving Day and Friday. The hope is that the injury will improve by Saturday.

Yeah that's what I was afraid of. And we can't put that dude out there looking like he did in the second half against Kentucky. We'll see Manning by the second quarter.

I agree with what Gerry said this morning on coffee and football. It’s not what he looks like pregame or in practice that will matter. It will be how he reacts or looks after the first time he is hit.

Chip needs the clicks…. He shouldn't be putting that info out there. Arch will play and Arch will lead us to the win.

Those injury reports are whatever. Ewers wasn’t listed at all in the weeks after he came back from the oblique injury even though we all knew he was at least somewhat limited and guys like Bond weren’t listed last week then played 50% of snaps.

These coaches still don’t want to reveal everything if they don’t have to.

I assumed Sark would list him as questionable all week. Probable is a pretty good indicator he is playing. Though I don’t know anyone that thought a mild sprain was going to keep him out of this game

Ewers isn't going to transfer to another school. His draft stock isn't gettting repaired at another school. He's going to go pro and live with the results. What he really needs, is to sit on the bench and get healthy and rework his fundamentals for a year or two. That's not going to happen at another college program, that happens in the pros. Maybe he can become a quality NFL starter, I think not, but whether or not he spends another year in college isn't going to do shit for his draft stock when you consider he would likely get hurt, miss time, and bumble fuck his way through a few games.

I don't know why people were assuming this injury could just be brushed off. The guy couldn't run and couldn't throw at all in the second half last Saturday. He's dealt with several injuries and never been a guy that has those freakish fast recoveries. One week is just a really quick turnaround for a sprained ankle, especially when you go out there and keep playing on it for two+ quarters after it happens (good call Sark jfc).

I feel bad for him, he'd been playing better in November and I think the way he was playing would have been enough to feel very good about the A&M matchup. Not so much if he's anywhere near as limited as he was last week.

If Sark trots out an injured Ewers - and it seems like that's the plan - Texas will be very easy to defend and lose the game.

Agree with this and it should be obvious to him too. His best path to a long term NFL starting gig is to sit and develop with a competent organization for a couple of years. Falling in the draft could end up being a blessing for him if it means he lands in the right situation.

I think people are forgetting how well he'll throw for scouts. Those goobs always forget about pocket presence et al when they see a great arm. If we keep winning (in this down QB year) he'll go 2nd - 3rd.

As in we get shutout because our defense is pretty good also. Aggy  can be all healthy and still struggle to score on us.
