If you think this has all been a result of your football takes and not your hysterics that people have been subjected to across three boards for more than a decade, you’re crazier than your posting indicates.

I have nothing against Derka at all and I think he is a pretty damn good poster.

I don’t always agree with him by any means.

I just want him to be dead wrong about Quinn because he was a great Longhorn and did incredible things for this program and I want him to succeed.

One thing people never talk about is Quinn’s quick release. I think that is a huge upside in the right offense with a coach that knows how to take advantage of it. And Quinn is very accurate on intermediate type throws too.

I am anxious to see how he does.

Ewers was 97th in the country in adjusted completion percentage in 2024 in the intermediate range.

Shough, Dart, Sanders and Ward were top 10.  Gabriel 11th.  Rourke and Howard  were top 25.  Milroe tied for 31st.

Ewers was 16th in 2023.  Ward, Dart and Beck were slightly higher.

In 2022, Ewers was 108th in adjusted completion percentage.

On the deep ball, he was 98th in 2022,  95th in 2023, and 47th in 2024.

 

Throw a catchable ball is the first priority.  There is nothing in the numbers to indicate he’s “very accurate” in that range.  There’s certainly enough in the data to question whether he’s more accurate than those selected before him.  There was one year in which it looked as though he could be something at it.

The NFL has weighed in on the supporting cast to say these guys are playmakers and can get open.

I don’t even love Quinn that much and certainly wanted Sark to pull him a number of times last year when he didn’t get pulled.

And I hope like hell he has a great NFL career as a starter just so Derka has to eat all the shit after making a pathetic spectacle of himself in this and other threads on a personal, whiny crusade against the starting quarterback on the team he purportedly loves.

I don’t expect it to happen but I’m damned sure rooting for it. This is the effect your behavior has had on a bunch of people that don’t know you in real life Derka. Congrats.

I'm the opposite. I hope he flames out and disappears completely ASAP. 

Mainly because I 100 percent believe we win the national title in 2024/2025 with a better QB. He was the main thing that kept us from it. He was the anti VY. And I don't know if we'll ever see another defense as complete top to bottom and locked in as that one. Hopefully we do.

It’s not like Ewers having success in the NFL changes any of that.

Seems he also was the reason we got close.  Sark made some poor calls as well, but also some great ones to get us there.  Running back triage never helped, and the officiating the the playoff games was straight trash, especially against Washington with the game ending on an ignored penalty or CSkat being pulled forward.   The kicking game (XP/FG) imploding was a major factor as well.   The staff and the team failed to win the title.

I'd say 50% was on the quarterback, 50% was on the other players and 50% was on the coaches.

no, he most certainly wasn’t. this is objectively false. you gonna tell us that bert auburn was also the reason that we got close? or maybe that the 2009 o line was the reason we got close to winning it all? 

this is what i mean when i say cult-like following. his career is over; the dust has settled; the tale of the tape shows by every objective measure that quinn ewers actively held back our otherwise loaded and high performing team, and yet no matter how much this objective evidence is presented, the QE zealots will never ever ever acknowledge it. it would shatter their reality. MAGAts, people who believe that apple cider vinegar cures cancer, and QE zealots- peas in a pod.

sorry, i can’t be gaslit that easily. y’all spent years swearing that QE was this amazing qb (in a very assholish manner i might add) and now i’m rather enjoying pointing out that you were wrong, and i was right. so that’s a funny definition of victimhood you’ve got there. in fact, the only people whining and crying and acting like victims are those losing their shit over me saying, “see: i was right all along.” just a completely self deluded group of people. but hey, at least you’ve got each other.

And as long as people keep trashing my favorite Longhorn, I'll keep sharing them.

I don't care if he met people's expectations or not. Someone's happiness shouldn't depend on what some athlete they've never met does or doesn't do. Someone, (not you) posted earlier that they hope he has a bad pro career cause we didn't win a championship. Some of y'all need help. 

I'm grateful for having the opportunity to spend time with this really good person, and I let him know that I support him 100% in everything he does in his life.

The media reporting on Ewers keeps saying he had no choice but to enter the draft and he slid to the 7th round because he was considered too good to be a backup holding a clipboard on the sidelines. They also implied he couldn’t transfer because of the playoff. Here’s an excerpt from another article from CBS Sports:

Quinn Ewers' agent slams NFL teams for draft slide after Texas QB falls all the way to Round 7

Evers never entered the portal because Texas was in the midst of a playoff run. He couldn't have been the starting quarterback for the Longhorns had he entered the portal, leaving him to ride things out with his team and pursue a national championship. 

Basically it was return to Texas or enter the NFL Draft, even with the spring transfer portal taking place from April 16 to April 25. That's too late for a player like Ewers to learn a new offense with practices limited. 
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/quinn-ewers-agent-slams-nfl-teams-for-draft-slide-after-texas-qb-falls-all-the-way-to-round-7/amp/

The notion that Quinn couldn’t have transferred because of the playoff is untrue. All players on CFP teams have a 5-day window from their last game in January to transfer. This is weak shit from his agent and publicist who are doing damage control. Quinn needs a new agent ASAP instead of some guy who is also the president of the Southlake Dragons Touchdown Club.

While running behind the Longhorn offensive line, Moore Jr. heard something from his quarterback. “The first one, I was motioning over and Quinn changed the play mid-motion,” Moore said. “He told me another play. So I’m like ‘okay, bet. It’s man. Let’s go get it.’ He just called a slot fade, put it up there, and allowed me to go make a play. He has the ability to do that, especially in this offense,” Moore said. “Quinn is the president. If he sees a look he may not like, he can change it to something else just like that.”

Where does Vandy player on the boundary side of that play towards the end come from?  I’ve watched it a bunch of times and can’t find him pre snap.

Agree with @immamac that Quinn needs to clear out his team and start anew.  Ron Slavin, his Southlake-based agent, has been certified by the NFLPA since 2004, but has only negotiated about 17 contracts in that time.  Here are the ones I could find.

He makes reference to Miami and Notre Dame - and the timeline.  Miami was likely tampering both Quinn and Carson Beck and might have said, "we'll get $4mm to the first one to sign."  Notre Dame's QB room looks a little weak right now.  That said, I wonder why no NFL teams were giving "if you are there in round N, we are taking you" advice to his agent.  Or perhaps he was not getting the pre-draft feedback he needed.

Nothing he is saying at this point is helping Quinn.  He needs to say things like, "Quinn is confident in his abilities and willing to do whatever it takes to excel at the NFL level.  We believe Miami is a great place for that to start."  And move on...

YOU were the assholes, YOU are the ones who made it incredibly personal when all i did was talk football.

and now, you dumb, combative fucking hypocrites want to sit here and talk about how you can’t wait to do to me what i’m doing to you right now. funny how you’re just fucking *incensed* that i’m having a good time throwing shit back in peoples faces (not to mention that i’ve done so with kid gloves), but you yourself just can’t wait to do the exact same thing to me. double standard, hypocritical bullshit. it’s pathetic.

”fuck around and find out.” “don’t start none won’t be none.” you people love to say this shit until it’s you who starts the shit, until its you who fucks around and has to find out, after you’ve made shit so needlessly, ruthlessly, relentlessly personal. you have only yourselves to blame for any and every post that i make about being right about quinn ewers. you fucked around, now you’re finding out. stop being such a whiny ass bitch about it.

MAGAts, people who believe that apple cider vinegar cures cancer, and QE zealots- peas in a pod.

I just don't think you know what words (objective/subjective/cult) mean.  If you look at Texas' QB performance by history, QE is third in passing TDs and Yards, and 3rd and 4th in single season passing yards.   While these are bumped by the number of games, they are also reflective of his injuries, odd route to Texas QB and yet it still indicates he was hardly holding back the offense.  These are stats that are objective.  Could he have been better, and not forced some throws in certain situations when a better option was available?  Absolutely.  Do I doubt you can think of 5 of them?  Nope.  Can you think of 5 great plays he made?  I am sure you can.  

It actually seems like you are projecting quite a bit especially regarding the use of cultish terminology.  You refuse to recognize the reality that QE was a very good Texas QB, and I think this stems back from the days when Xavier Worthy was giving up and playing below his capabilities and a few of us, pointed that out, and all you could do was to criticize the QB for Worthy's shortcomings.   This seemed to really irk you and you really just doubled down on the QE hate very oddly.  I mean if he ran over you dog, I could understand, but this is so weirdly personal for you.

And yes, while the 2009 offensive line was poor relative to the senior laden team that won it all a few years before,  there were years later I wished for a squad that competent.  Yes, against elite guys like N. Suh, they were completely overwhelmed, but against average linemen they could perform to some degree, and Colt was capable of overcoming some of their challenges.   At the time I couldn't imagine a shittier line, but then I witnessed Chris Jones spin around and fall down multiple times without a defensive player paying him any mind.  But they (2009) were part of the team that got Texas to a shot at a title, save for Colt's injury, they would have left Texas with that title, despite their future outside of the NFL.  

But I expect a similar strawman fallacy forthcoming, more false equivalency,  and more projection as a response.

I think you can make the argument and the advanced analytics point to it that he was objectively holding back the offense in 2024. Also you throw in that he had 17 turnovers this season it definitely adds to the objectivity that he was holding the offense back in addition to all the self sacks and TWP's. Looking at raw stats and rankings amongst UT QB's all time is ignorant way to look at it given that until Colt we were a predominantly run oriented program.

What are you talking about “run oriented” ?

Colt threw over 200 more passes in his last three years here than Quinn did in his three.
