It could be something as simple as Quinn looked better in practice.

fwiw there’s a post in this thread where one of our posters has a friend whose kid is on the team, and the kid says that Arch was lights out in practice, clearly better than QE. sark just did not want to make such a big move when he felt he could win it all with QE anyway.

That was me. He didn't mention Quinn at all, just that Arch was impressive on a daily basis.

30 NFL draft picks across both teams certainly didn't have any bearing on his success.

I’m not sure Craig Krenzel had that much support.

Having an NFL draft pick at QB certainly didn’t have any bearing on those 30 NFL draft picks success. This is easy and stupid.

If we had better QB play we win a title. Sad you can't see that. Quinn held this team back.

Too bad the backup didn’t convince Sark he was capable of that this year. Would’ve been nice!

it is shocking how much of this highlight reel features plays that QE was objectively incapable of making. i mean the first two plays alone, you’re 15 seconds into the video and it’s like, “holy shit, i’ve never seen QE look this calm in the pocket, make moves so decisively, use his speed and athleticism and improvisational skills to make plays like this. this is our backup?!?” i mean the eyeball test between these two is not close. there’s a massive gulf in talent, poise, athleticism, and decision making. we all watched it with our own eyes, and while many here have been hell bent in on denying it, that tape doesn’t lie. Arch is levels beyond Quinn as a QB, in basically every way possible. Sark choosing not to make qb change midseason does not change this fact.

i want you to come to this thread in april when the draft is over and rank every UT player that’s been drafted over the last two years in terms of how good/impactful they were at Texas. can’t wait to see where quinn ranks among the likes of jahdae barron, xavier worthy, jonathan brooks, kelvin banks, t’vondre sweat, jaylan ford, ad mitchell, jt sanders, etc. and then, after the 2026 draft, you can come in here and do it again, including every guy who QE played with at Texas, adding names like bijan robinson, colin simmons, anthony hill, and arch manning.

you’re right that this is easy and stupid, but you’re wrong about why it’s easy and stupid.

Maybe he’ll prove to Sark he can do it consistently against actual competition this season. Fingers crossed. 

i just want to make it clear that you’re on the record as saying that everything that arch has done to this point is invalid because it was done against unserious competition, and that in your mind, he’s proven nothing, is an unknown commodity, and all we can do is cross our fingers and hope that he’s good next year. because that ^^^ is what every single post you’re making in this thread says.

I distinctly remember seeing the TD throw right before half time against MSU and thinking the guy definitely has a higher ceiling than Ewers. He got popped pretty good and delivered it on the money. It's just one of those things that you see and you know this guy is a different breed.

Those players would’ve all had worse season records at Texas with a worse QB running things. Pretty simple.  And I will not be doing that because that sounds dorky as fuck.

Not invalid at all just didn’t show Sark that he was better than an injured Quinn Ewers (which according to this thread, is really bad) 

That's a reach.  Did you forget all the years Mack refused to play demonstrably better freshmen simply because they were freshmen?  He had this bug up his ass for years about it, and if they did play, it was always after the RRS.

Sark has shown no problem playing younger players that show they are better.

Dibs second string, since that’s everyones fave. 

I’m sure you’d say the first stringer with a torn oblique pounded you better.

I must have missed that I think.

Well, they won every game the backups started.

If we had better OL play we win a title.  Majors and Williams got their asses whipped on consecutive plays against Ohio State.

that’s cool. Ewers self sacked multiple times and had multiple turnovers. A QB with any semblance of athleticism and use of his legs helps the line. Instead we have a statue fucking idiot back there

colt mccoy played behind two o lines that were vastly inferior to QE’s last two o lines and he finished runner up for the heisman both times. colt also had to be his teams leading rusher and never had the likes of bijan robinson or jonathan brooks to take pressure off him. unfortunately QE is closer to case mccoy than colt mccoy when it comes to making plays outside of his first read, and his errant passes, self sacking, and general skittishness made the OL’s job that much harder. the OL did a lot more for QE the last two years than the other way around.

Could you imagine Quinn doing the herpa derpa against aggy this season? It would have been great.

Not saying “most stated” isn’t correct, but harsh and too soon. Damn I would’ve liked to see what an “injury free” Quinn could do over one season.

Hook’em!!!

It is what it is though, man.  We had the roster we had, and if QE wasn’t the guy don’t blame it on him, blame it on the coach responsible for the roster.  Personally I was disappointed we didn’t kick everyone’s ass and win two consecutive MNCs, but that shit is hard to do, and we came close.   A decent kicker would have gotten us there.  A lot of blame to go around.
