I know right? A good quarterback should be able to beat Georgia without ever running the football. Next year Arch is gonna throw for 450 on Georgia even if we have 31 yards rushing and convert every 3rd down no matter the down and distance.

Jaxon Dart and Jalen Milroe threw and ran all over Georgia. 

Hayes fucking King threw for 300+ AND ran for 100+ on them. 

Georgia isn't unstoppable on defense, they just play a certain way. Even Quinn gimped a 40 yard scramble on them.

Thats fine. Most good QBs still can’t take over games regardless of team performance. 

That was not really what was called for, so I don’t get this argument. A QB taking over  a game would imply winning in a shootout or having multiple 4Q TD drives. That is not the same as needing 17 over the course of a game.

He was cooking the fuck out of Bama before injury. He cooked the fuck out of Ohio state in a BCS bowl. He took over multiple games. Arguing otherwise about Colt is fucking retarded. 
 

2009 Colt is best example of how Quinn should be regarding team management especially considering the lack of run games both teams had. 

Colt went out of the Bama game before a point was even scored. You can't claim "cooking the fuck out of" on that one. Colt was 3-1 vs OU. Had a fantastic game vs Ohio State in the Fiesta. Got knocked out of NC game in the 1st qtr. Had a rough game in the Big12 championship game.

Dart threw for 199 1td and 1int and ran for 50. Not exactly lighting it up. Their defense turned them over 3 times, got 5 sacks, and held them to 10. We hold Georgia to 10 and we have a new piece of hardware. Milroe is it.

If everyone does their job except the guy who handles the ball every offensive snap we have a new piece of hardware, got it. Good point!

When are we gonna spin up the KJ Lacey and Dia Bell threads in preparation for Arch Manning not being an NFL QB right off the bat and KJ Lacey being everything Arch isn't BUT THEN KJ Lacey being the worst thing ever because Texas is 40-2 under him so Dia Bell is our savior? That's how this works right?

If Quinn was playing for Ole Miss when they played Georgia Ole Miss beats Georgia worse than they did with Dart at QB. What is your point?

I see no evidence why that would be the case at all. Just because you say it doesn’t make it true.

Texas fans crying over Quinn Ewers only being 25-8 with 2 playoff appearances and 4-1 vs rivals is the stupidest shit ever. He's not the next coming of Vince Young, but nuance has no place here. He's trash and Texas should have never lured him away from Ohio State. Some of yall should have been left in the 2010s.

I think this one is a little different. These discussions rarely happen to a QB in his  3rd year starting. They haven’t happened since Simms was the starting QB. The situations are very similar.  This is the best chance Texas is going to have at NC since Colt. Next year is at a minimum a reload. You clearly have a QB that has underperformed expectations and that isn’t up for debate (see top 10 pick predictions and Heisman talk). You have Arch on the bench, who looked excellent in his last start. You can add the media flaming the flames and it’s not hard to see how this discussion has become so heated.

Starting QB needs to quit being a pussy and learn to put a team on his fucking back. Nah, that's too much to ask for....Sark has to scheme up perfect plays and calls for him because he can't do anything outside of structure.

There was a discussion of a specific point/topic going on. Hour post has jack shit to do with it. It’s getting weirder.

Quinn for all the NIL he does and all the hype he has around him and all the talk about him sure does give fucking potato level interviews and often doesn't do media availability. I feel like a bunch of this negative sentiment comes from the general feeling that he doesn't get the context of his position on the team as a celebrity etc. 

QB1 at Texas isn't just about playing good on the field, that's why everyone fucking LOVED Sam. If Quinn gave interviews half as good as Taaffe people would probably have a much more positive sentiment, since he doesn't and acts a certain way and hides behind the aww shucks I'm just shy and soft spoken thing people think he's just a fucking moron who doesn't get it and isn't as pissed off as he should be about losses.

Listening to xm college radio and Jimbo is on talking about Texas.  Says after they talk about Quinn’s completion percentage with blitzes and he says with a blitzes it’s impossible to cover all those guys downfield….  He literally doesn’t know all those passes are to check downs and screens.  If you don’t watch a team every week you do not know wtf is going on actually….  Hints why the national media was slow to calling Ewers out, but most are reviewing and doing it now.

A lot of the negative sentiment is from people wanting to see Quinn throw more lasers instead of floaters. And then we get attacked by Quinn supporters saying we hate Quinn. We don’t hate Quinn, we just want him to play better. It has nothing to do with NIL or his commercials or interviews.

Look at the practice clip throws below. The difference between the two is painfully obvious. I’m not saying “put in Arch” I’m just asking Quinn to drop it in the breadbasket like Arch. Less floaters and moon balls should help with the drops as well.

Fuck all that. Just ball.

I don't recall Colt and VY giving spectacular interviews... Maybe because nobody gives a shit about anything except winning.

People loved Sam because he was winning.

Arch touched the ball one time the following week vs. Georgia in OT, and it seems pretty clear Sark just wanted to get positive rushing yardage on 1st down and considered Arch the best option. 
 

That would pretty much equate to “saving it for the playoffs.”

We’ll see either way.

Hope we don’t need anything like that Saturday

this stuff kills me.  I have no idea where it started but every time an athlete yells when they are coming back or pissed about something commentators started talking about the "intensity! will to win! blah blah fucking blah, look at his/her passion!".  It is all such fucking fake bullshit for media and clicks.  I don't need the guy to yell, flex, grit his teeth, etc. or even give great interviews.

In general since Sark got our shit somewhat together after and Quinn became our QB 3 seasons ago , we have lost by more than 7 exactly 1 time.  I'd posit that neither of the losses last year were on him.  

Quinn has limitations in running I wish he didn't have and i've complained about his mechanics(footwork, the flip throws) but the guy has won at a rate not seen since Colt.  If Bert hits some FGs we might even be talking about back to back Big 12/SEC championships.  This is Sark's call and he's going with his guy that has basically had 1 loss in the last 2 years that is truly on him.  Maybe Manning will go 32-0 and we will be talking about what if's but for now we are ridin' or dyin'.

Here’s your problem

Well they aren’t wrong. The other guys were like Ewers won’t win you a playoff game, he’s a game manager qb at this point and Texas’s season lies on how many mistakes will he make at this point.  The cats out of the bag, everyone knows our weak spot on this team is the  QB….

If he does your hypothetical we would have won it all with Arch. 
 

We didn’t need superstar Quinn. We needed above average Quinn, not dog shit red zone Quinn. Auburn was more successful in his attempts than 0/5 Quinn.

Quinn is a decent runner when he's healthy and not playing hesitantly. He's demonstrated that on more than one occasion. He's not Colt or Arch good, but he can exploit open grass and escape when necessary.

yes he's not a statue at all but even with the injury situation he's limited when compared to most high level college QB's(just look at the playoff QB's)

Your first statement is the truth.  As for Auburn he made several kicks.  You’re saying he needed to make one more.  
 

Even if he makes all his kicks, we’re never up more than one score so who knows how it plays out.

If Arch is almost undraftable after his 3rd year as a starter, then you would have a point.

It's like yea c cups we probably all agree are better, but some of you dispshits are acting like you wouldn't want titties at all 

 

Ewers will go down in history below a lot of longhorn QBs we liked , but he still got us laid (to the playoffs) twice 

I love this analogy so much
