I actually mentioned this exact mindset and you delivered, thanks.

I agree Quinn is just a come from nothing kid that is at the university of Texas for the diploma and his love of the Horns. We should all be considerate to him for that. 😊

For what, your fantasy football league?

They have one of the best defenses in the league, hosses on the O-line, especially the interior.  Pacheco runs mad as hell, and their receiver corps over the years on the SB teams have been great.  Everyone uses the same excuse they did with Brady - that he was superman surrounded by a bunch of spares.  

no, for the hypothetical nfl team that does not have a relatively mediocre roster around a transcendent qb.

dude, their wrs last year were laughably bad. it was a theme for the entire season.

Quote

Chiefs wideouts posted a 7.8% drop rate during the regular season, the worst rate for any team’s wideouts in any season over the past decade. Compared with every other wide receivers room from every other team over that stretch, Kansas City’s drop rate was 3.5 standard deviations above the mean. The receivers were scandalously bad.

pacheco is a star? he has 55 carries for 234 yards and 1 td...4.3 yards per carry. the very definition of mediocre.

they have a solid run defense but their pass defense is 20th in the league. they are in the top half of the league overall.

the chiefs are not a star studded roster the last couple of years and, to the entire fucking point being made before getting sucked into this idiocy...their success is almost exclusively derived from hero ball from their quarterback. if you want to debate that, feel fucking free and good luck to you.

Georgia has too much speed, the LBs and safeties will run it down even if you get the line blocked. Most of our effective running plays were fairly quick hitters out of the pistol.

Yep. Their safeties ran the alley untouched all night cleaning up anything that made it outside including the quick game. We only made hay inside, but even that was embarrassing considering how highly our line is touted. If we could truly run the football. I mean truly. This thread would be a ghost town.

You complain about people calling Quinn a pussy because he doesn’t want to take a hit in a contact sport, but here you are Karen-ing up this Quinn thread like it’s a Facebook group talking about feelings. This is college football in Texas. It’s not being a bad human to want our starting QB to score touchdowns in the red zone and move a little in the pocket to extend plays.

Manning, in his time starting this year made some bonehead plays and some sensational plays.

Nothing Arch has done this season has been as boneheaded as the pick 6 against the aggies and the fumble/pick 6 against Kentucky. People say Quinn takes better care of the ball but it definitely doesn’t look that way when you watch the games.

You take the criticism too seriously. We are all Texas fans. We're on a message board and like to argue. Every single person here wants Quinn to be the man and lead us to a NC this year. But some of us are not gonna put our heads in the sand when you see consistent issues that stand in the way. 

No they don't. First it was Card was better than Quinn. Then it was Murph was better than Quinn. Now it's Arch is better than Quinn. So after awhile some of us start reading the tea leaves and see that some of you just don't like him and he will never be perceived as quality. I don't know if it's where the kid came from that bothers y'all. Seems to be for some. Read BurntOrange's post above. Maybe its how he acted when he arrived on the 40.

And this post is exactly what I am talking about. Quarterback gets the ball batted at the line and its more boneheaded than throwing into double or triple coverage.

Quinn would be a motherfucking god in Austin if he wasn’t so damn mediocre. That’s why people don’t like him. Not some stupid personal vendetta. Jesus this is a dumb take.

It’s his fault the ball got batted down. It happens 10x more to him than any other QB.

We are in the college football playoff two years in a row and in the SEC championship year one. I am pretty sure that qualifies as "winning". The O-line and RBs are struggling and yet I don't think either one of those threads is even on the first page. They ran for 31 yards. The QB threw for 360 and all the hate action is in this thread.

He was treated like a motherfucking god after beating Alabama and he’s got NIL deals out the ass. People love you when you play well. When you play like shit and had a chance to win the SEC championship but shit your pants or can’t score in the second half of the last few games, people are going to talk shit about you. People don’t hate Quinn the person, they hate Quinn the quarterback.

Brother much love to you but this thread didn't get to 400 pages this year. They were on him last year too. We allowed Penix to throw for 430 yards without getting a single finger on the dude all game. Quinn threw for 318 and no picks and when we lost this thread blew the fuck up. I know it may not have been you but that's the reality. He's been looking over his shoulder for 3 seasons with 3 different QBs.

That's a problem, because they shouldn't

Imagine being the 3rd winningest QB to play at Texas in the modern era behind Vince and Colt. You've won just as many conference championships as they did. You went to the cfp twice in a row and have your team poised to make a play for the trophy and your fanbase can't wait for you to leave.

Not to mention if we were in any other conference we could be undefeated and number one for most of the year. Pepperidge farm remembers when we were throwing out Casey Thompson and Hudson Card out there that would have been destroyed by the Alabama Scout team but not sure these people care to remember.

I haven’t re-watched this game and probably never will, but did we not have all 11 players bunched up at the line scrimmage? The dudes arm was hanging on by skin. He wasn’t going to attempt to pass. How the fuck did we not just stuff that?

Hudson Card played Alabama and lost by 1 point.

man, i hope that burntorange&white and thatguy are at least getting compensated for their efforts in this thread.

every single page, bow: everything is quinn's fault and he is a giant pussy. thatguy: everything that is good is because of quinn and everyone else on the teams sucks. random poster drop in: i think quinn may still be hurt. hank hill: everyone is an asshole and i hate you all.

you guys are both too extreme.

and, as the arbiter of all truth and facts in this universe, you're both right and you're both wrong and you are both too personally invested in your perception. in my opinion, quinn has been playing ghosts since he got back and cannot string together any consistency at all. he's had horrible turnovers against vandy, kentucky, agro, and georgia that have been brutal and put us in very dangerous positions. our defense has bailed us out a lot. much like the baylor game in 2022, quinn was in such a bad place trying to see the game against uk that we literally ran the entire fourth quarter out with zero pass attempts.  the passes he made that were picked (and worse still, should have been picked) against georgia were seriously terrible, as was the one against agro (which would have been picked regardless of deflection). against uga, the miss to moore on the flag (corner post) route on second down in the red zone was an all-time horrible pass. the pass to gunnar on the wheel that would have been called back anyway due to the bond pick was exceptionally terrible given how open he was. the decision to go to golden after the first first down in overtime in the back of the endzone was braindead. on 3rd down, wingo is there for a first down and he dumps it to wisner for nothing. he throws off his back foot and lobs balls way, way too much. he has some of the worst footwork in the history of college football. he's also not really a leader or a guy that extracts the most from his guys...no one is running through a wall for quinn ewers.

on the other hand, he finally had three exceptionally timed and placed deep balls for the first time in a while against uga...building on a couple of nice ones against agro. and it really opened things up for the offense yardage wise. that's a major positive that i had abandoned all hope for prior to the tamu game. he threw some exceptional mid-range balls against uga over the middle of the field as well that looked routine but are much more difficult than they look...especially against uga...one to bond that was much more impressive than it looked on first glance zipped through an over/under zone bracket, a great read on the moore td and good delivery. while the 4th and 2 pass is relatively routine, he put that fucker on a perfect dime in the clutchest of moments. a real nice ball to helm as well through anticipated coverage windows. the bombs to golden were real nice. he moved about the pocket incrementally better in the seccg than he has in a while (still not great but not like regular season uga, ou, or uk). i will say while most of us are frustrated and want better from quinn, his trending from arkansas through georgia has been positive (with a low point in the second half of uk). he was better against uga...and that's a tough team to be good against when they are such an overwhelmingly bad matchup for a sark offense given that they have four linebackers that run like deer that completely destroy all the rinky dink sideways shit.

i think the tamu and georgia games have a lot of positive things to build off of and some seriously braindead shit that nearly killed us. it's quinn's career in a nutshell. but if he keeps up with the turnovers, the teams in the playoffs (including clemson) will punish us in a way that kentucky is not capable. i've said it virtually every week since he's come back: here's hoping we get good quinn. if we can get three quarters of good quinn a game instead of one, we can beat every team in the field.

deep down and gun to my head, my true feeling is that if arch had continued to get experience through the schedule, he would probably be a slightly greater net gain to the offense right now. but that shit is pure speculation. he's an unknown quantity and playing well against miss state, ulm, and utsa is not an indicator of performance against georgia and tamu and all of you slobbing over his highlights against shit teams need to chill some.

here's to a rested and ready quinn lighting the playoff on fire (one can hope).

 

eta tldr: everyone is right and everyone is wrong. quinn ewers is the duality of humanity in every way. capable of such beautiful dreams and such terrible nightmares.

it was the weirdest play of the game. it's like we were confused. dude ran onto the field without moving his arm an inch making it clear that they could do nothing but run it and we looked like we were anticipating a roll out. frustrating.

It felt like we need to call a TO to make sure, but obviously that would be stupid since Georgia was forced to bring in Beck with one arm due to the lost helmet (and possible concussion). Le sigh.

Also, hadn’t we already called a timeout?

we did not have a timeout, that's correct. and ultimately, because of their motion, we had all 11 guys effectively there in the box but: 1) the lbs and dbs were slow to react; 2) anthony hill took the way wrong gap; 3)53 for uga 100% tackles sorrell from behind, 4) 69 for uga tackles and lays on norton, and 5) collins just gets worked.
