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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

The good comes with the bad.  Had he been better at avoiding those mistakes (and injuries and missed time) his numbers would be higher.  Looking at the overall performance is objective.    TWP is highly subjective.  Sacks are also incomplete, they can be from the QB holding on too long or running into it or it could be a wiffed block, something else?   Unless you know the reason, play, situation, and timing of each, this is difficult to completely blame on the QB, especially if the guy is limited by injury.

Please watch the interview with Sark by Josh Patel and skip to the part in the last 10 minutes or so when they talk about Quinn.

All of you criticizing Quinn should watch this.

Criticism of Quinn’s on field performance is fine but somehow none of you critics ever mention his great plays.

Arizona State game comes to mind when he changed the play on fourth down and threw a perfect TD pass to save our season.

This is after our vaunted defense you keep talking about totally shit the bed in the second half of the game.

This is a link to Texas high school passing records.  In basically every category, the player was from a 2000 season or later.

Lukar from 1998 Stephenville was at the back end of a single season yardage list.  Kirk Saul from 1986 was last on the list in single game yardage.

That’s the stats element.  If you take it to the NFL level for Texas high school bred QBs, that list from the 80s and 90s will pare in comparison to the past decade/20 years.

Texas was late to the 7 on 7 party.  Not sure when summer conditioning programs were allowed but that’s impactful.  The offensive systems/coaching are massive changes.

Any stats compiling discussion regarding QBs is only about a 20-25 year history.

if bert auburn hits a chip shot fg to win that game in regulation then that game ends up as a hug black mark against QE. he was so poor during the four quarters where he didn’t get to start every drive on the opposing 25 yard line where sark could draw up his best TD plays from the word ‘go’. that game is not one you want to bring up in defense of quinn ewers.

Texas fans don’t do “average/mediocre to solid/good” very well, which is where Ewers falls. Quarterbacks are either treated like legends who walk as gods amongst us, or complete and total garbage.

The guy had his ups and downs but ultimately underachieved. And we’re about to upgrade, which should have everyone excited.

1. Pointing out flaws isn't necessarily hate; there is such a thing as analysis.

2. QE was a loyal Longhorn. I think (almost, anyways) all of us wish him the best.

3. As stated, all-time QB numbers are biased by changes in the game and in how Texas plays it now. I suspect James Street would look like someone we would never want by many metrics.

4. QE had some great moments, and he looked great overall for entire games, eg Michigan.

5. QE was painful to watch on many self-sacks and apparently inaccurate long balls. He "led" the team with the most draft picks in the country of the last two years to the "not quite" level of championship success on the field. 32 NFL teams agree with Derka on this one. He is a much better QB prospect than I, but not in the top 10 available in this year's draft.

well, first you’ve got quinn, who left HS a year early to become a millionaire qb at tOSU; then you’ve got the history of the UT football program; and then of course you have everyone who surrounded quinn, from the AD, to the coaching staff, to his record breaking number of nfl draft pick teammates. i would say that those people set standards which quinn ewers did not live up to.

It is absolutely correct that we are all limited.  That did not stop you from referencing Worthy or Jones as screwing up.  It’s odd that Worthy has played with 4 different QBs yet only quit on one.  And only quit on him for part of one season.  Or that maybe Jones, a soccer player that had been in multiple offenses, right side and left side too, might have a miscommunication thus causing a late pickup.

Yours, and pretty much everyone else’s, evaluation is subjective.  So if you’re discussing TWP, that is subjective, but keep in mind those are evaluated against a standard to which all other QBs are evaluated.  That’s a bit different than you and I never attempting to define what it it looks then arguing on this board.

As for sacks, those are evaluated as to who is at fault.  I actually looked this up the other day.  Shedeur led the country in “self sacks.”  17 it was.  Believe QE was tied for 2nd or 3rd at 14.  There’s also data on sacks per time pressured. A sack is a sack but the pressure is subjective. I believe it was 2022 and 2024 in which QE did not compare favorably to others in sacks per pressure.  Guys like a Michael Vick, Caleb Williams, Justin Fields will self sack.  That’s probably two-fold - lack of decisiveness and attempting to make a play. That’s not QE, at least to their extreme.

Anyone reading my posts can do so knowing that admittedly I’m not a big Ewers fan.  Some of it off field, some of it on field, some of it media/fan induced.  I do believe he’s better prepared for the NFL than quite a few other QBs.  I do believe he’s has characteristics that could make it work at that level, maybe quite well.  He is in a reasonably good spot to help him get there.

Herein lies the problem. Nobody is saying QE is great. Also, the mother-fucking general managers and owners of NFL teams aren't the end-all-be-all with regards to how good a QB was in college. Stats and records and program influence are what matter. And by any definition, QE was a good/solid fucking QB at Texas.

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.

I noticed you didn't mention how that famed offensive line and running backs averaged 1.8 yards against Arizona State's powerhouse of a defense, and against UGA it was 1.1 yards per carry and 2.0 yards per carry vs Ohio State.    

And in this selective group, it looks like this,  

Opponent,  Passing Attempts, Rushing, YPC

Arky , 32, 41, 3.4
Ken  , 31. 47. 5.3
Aggy, 28, 50, 4.8
UGA, 46, 28, 1.1

Overall split, 45% passing, 55% rushing.  But the outlier is the UGA game where the rushing yard production were very low and Texas had to pass.  Without that, it was 60% rushing to 40% passing.  

When you look at the offensive rushing output from Arky, Ken, Aggy, (3.4 ypc, 0.7 ypc, 3.0 ypc) It seems likely that the plan was to stifle the other team and run the ball.

But I am sure you will just ignore this and move goal posts yet again.
