What are we tagging me for again?

I was joking how I was surprised you weren’t here to spin Quinn’s injury. And then I was told it was a pussy move not tagging you in my comment. And here we are. All jokes aside, I wish Quinn nothing but luck in securing that bag.

Man, we got bigger fish to fry in this country than what QE is doing. Y'all have at it. Call me at the combine/Pro Day/Draft.

He's not participating because his pussy still hurts.

He had an oblique injury, that isn’t news. Probably wasn’t playing through a full tear.  The media, like this board, doesn’t really appreciate nuance.

He also didn't technically "play through it." Including the byes he was out five weeks IIRC. 

Is there a difference between a tear and a strain besides severity?

You're not. He's a pussy. He isn't a pussy. He's hurt. He's not hurt. He sucks. He's one of the best. He's throwing at the combine. He's not throwing at the combine. It's spin. It's in his medicals records. We all know. None of us knows. It's time to lock and sticky this thread as a Classic and move on to Arch Sucks, Owens Should Starts.

Damnit missed my opportunity to lock it after this perfect post.

people keep saying this, but this maxim is not going to apply to arch manning. people love to say that the backup qb is the most popular guy on the team, but that’s only when the starting qb isn’t inspiring confidence in the fans. i know it’ll be a shock for a lot of people next season when Arch, playing for a team with less talent and experience than either of quinn’s last two teams, is actually out there playing great football, moving the chains, making plays with his feet, throwing accurately downfield, making explosive plays, etc, but that’s going to happen, and when it does, nobody will be pining for the backup to play, they’ll be lamenting the fact that we wasted 2024 on a milquetoast qb with 0.0% dawg in him.

Back to back semis. Tragic waste.

exactly. even with QE dragging down the rest of the offense and forcing the defense back out onto the field ad nauseam the rest of the team was still good enough to carry him to back to back playoff semifinals. if Arch never goes back to the bench then 2024 Texas wins the title. instead we stuck with quinn, struggled in every phase of offense, and never even made the title game despite the fact that you’re going to look up in five years and see 15+ guys from quinn’s last two teams with NFL careers, including Arch.

Arch wasn’t even good enough to start over still injured Ewers. Your hypotheticals are just that. I’ll trust Sarks assessment of that situation over whoever you are. We lost to the better team. Hope he’s ready next season.

i don’t believe this at all. at no point after he returned did QE look like Arch’s equal. he was objectively poor for the majority of the rest of the season, a skittish, statuesque, self-sack artist who could neither pass nor run with any efficacy. meanwhile Arch is out here throwing picture perfect deep balls, running 22 mph as he makes plays with his feet, stepping into the a&m game cold and singlehandedly scoring in spectacular fashion, and all around just looking tall, athletic, confident, competent, relaxed, and ready to make plays. ie the polar opposite of quinn ewers. we’ll probably never know why Sark stuck with QE, but it is not because he was better in the games than Arch was. not even close.

He actually wasn’t out there doing those things much because Sark didn’t think he was good enough to start over an injured Ewers. Sad but true. Hope he meets expectations next season.

If Arch comes out next year and beats Ohio State and lives up to half the expectations it was dumb to not sit Quinn for more games. He wanted to play though and Sark didn’t want to tank him in the draft. It’s still not a good look after performance tanking multiple years after injury.  It won’t get easier to not get injured in the NFL and most starting quarterbacks play with multiple injuries to some degree most of the season.

You can turn it around and say he’s used to playing with injury. Am I right ??

Yeah, I occasionally click on it for news, but end up sifting through a ton of shit for a milligram of news.  I'm not a smart man.

If you put BO&W on “Ignore” the “ton of shit” is reduced to 3.2 milligrams.

I do not buy your first sentence.

Sark is stubborn, he had a succession plan going into 2024 and wanted to stick to it. There was no pressure coming from Arch's family. He felt he could win a national championship with a hobbled Ewers. 

That is going to be the mentally healthy way to look back at it when Arch kicks ass this year.

Agreed, Sark turtled and played it safe.  What he could have done was mix in more plays for Arch.  Get him on the field, and not just designed run plays/wildcat.

It could be something as simple as Quinn looked better in practice. IMO the biggest issue for Texas the last 2 seasons has been an inconsistent offense. When the offense was clicking it was a thing of beauty. Quinn looked great. It also was prone to vomit inducing stretches. It was not uncommon to see both in the same game. Sark could have just been betting on Quinn and the offense dampening the volatility or nervous about putting someone with limited experience into that environment.

That's on the coach.  Get your players ready.  It's a long season, especially in the playoff era.  I know the list is longer, but from games I've watched it takes a set of marbles to put in the backup with the primary is struggling.  Riles did it in the Cotton Bowl with Caleb Williams.  Saban with Tua for Jalen, and Jalen for Tua.  Sometimes it takes a spark to get things going.  A wrinkle in the offense to keep the defense guessing.

Says a lot about his professional opinion about 2024 Arch

🤔🤔🤔🤔

JUST IN: #Texas star quarterback Quinn Ewers has a formal meeting with the Dallas #Cowboys at the #NFL combine, sources exclusively tell @_MLFootball.

Ewers, 21, was 11 and 1 on the road as a starter in conference games. CFP semifinals 2 seasons in a row and 27 & 5 as a starter.
