New page? How about another fun Quinn gif:

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.”

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. 

 

Derka is just mad Quinn got to more Final Fours at Texas than Rick Barmes.

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.

there is only 10 players in the screen. There is a CB on outside WR that is off the screen at the bottom

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 guys are so completely self deluded it’s insane. i’ve got the receipts; i’ve posted several of them; i can post many many more if this is how it’s going to be. you guys were absolute fucking pieces of shit to me, not he other way around, all because you didn’t like that i was critical of the Texas QB. mental health pot shots, people telling me that nobody loves me, calling me a piece of shit, and trying to get me banned, all because i was critical of QE. 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.

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.

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.

Are you retarded and cannot read? Specifically the part where I mention "until Colt."

yeah i love that the argument that he wasn’t holding his team back had nothing to do with his play compared to his own teammates, but rather his overall career passing yards compared to former players at a school that adopted the forward pass about a week ago, and whose greatest OC of all time is greg davis. yeah, that totally proves that quinn wasn’t the weak link in the last two teams.

for these people, quinn will always be the one who “led” us to the playoffs, but then they’ll turn around and absolve him of all responsibility for our offensive futility and inability to even move the chains, forget scoring points on countless second half drives last season. 

IMG_1882.thumb.jpeg.1629f76962ae80e4d6b52d8037d80295.jpeg

weird how we had the #1 defense in the country, a first round wr, a highly touted TE draft pick, an offensive line that was nominated for OL of the year, led by the lombardi and outland trophy winner, and an rb who is currently third favorite to win OROY, and yet we couldn’t even move the damn chains in the second half of our sec schedule. you’d think that a QB who “leads” his team to back to back playoff semifinals could move the chains against a terrible arkansas team that was pulling kids from the stands and starting them at DB, but nope- 172 yards passing and 4-15 on 3rd down vs the patchwork arkansas defense. wasn’t much better vs a&m, kentucky, georgia, or ASU. but yeah nivek is rught- Quinn Ewers was totally not the weak link in the chain. give me a break.

If only Quinn could've played for Greg Davis... 

This is proof positive that Sark needs an OC.

first off, he said “until colt”, and second, our entire program was built on running the ball for decades. we were essentially the last major program to make downfield passing a priority, and when we did start throwing the ball we had greg davis throwing the ball sideways to sloan thomas while roy williams blocked downfield. so not only does comparing QE to the likes of rick mcivor, james brown, and peter gardere not have anything to do with quinn ewers holding back the 2023 and 2024 Texas Longhorns, it’s also not the flex that nivek thinks it is.
