Yes, we've had talent.  Lots of it.  We had the 3rd most players drafted in 2024, and 2nd in 2025.  Tops overall for those two years.  The point is, we're not the only team with elite talent.  Two of them knocked us out of the playoffs.  (We should also note that Brooks missed the final 4 games of his career.)

I don't really understand why so many of you struggle with shades of grey.  It's quite astonishing. 

Yeah anyone trying to point out shades of grey between the haters and shades of grey opinions is just fucking idiotic.

QE took us to playoffs TWICE. /respect

Quinn may have had some help in those efforts. 

Quinn might also have greatly contributed to ending the run to a championship both those years.

Take @Derka for example. He was bashing Quinn on a vertical route because he had no idea how a fade route is supposed to be run or thrown until another poster corrected him.

when that dude posted an expert who corrected me i said, “well he would know better than me” and i conceded the point, something you are literally incapable of. watching you dunk on yourself while trying to dunk on me is hilarious. here’s you hitting ‘send’ on that post:

also, as i said in that very post, it’s impossible to give QE the benefit of the doubt considering his comically terrible footwork and consistently inaccurate throws. but don’t let that stop you from fellating the most underachieving qb we’ve ever had while patting yourself on the back for doing so.

Your Ohio State example is ass. They had 14 players drafted in 2025 and won the title. Nobody is saying they won because Will Howard came. Yet you keep saying Texas got to the semis because of Quinn.

“Stability at quarterback” is horseshit when you have over a dozen players drafted. OSU had a different QB last year, had only 4 players drafted, and didn’t even make the CFP in 2024. All the talent around Will Howard made a difference to win a title in 2025.

Ohio State has been winning consistently for seemingly ever. What in the fuck are you even talking about? We haven't been this good since 2009. Ohio State has more than 60 players in the league. They've had one losing season since 1988. 19 fucking 88. Meanwhile we just came off a stretch where we were irrelevant for 14 years Big. Let's not try to make it like the two things are ever comparable.

I told you the same thing the expert did but the difference is you cannot allow yourself to be schooled by someone you feel you are superior than. Even now. Even though you don't even know what you don't know, you are still being dismissive of someone even though you are being outclassed in the conversation.

you’re the only one of us who sees this as a competition. your desire to “win” is a big part of what makes you so unable to be objective or admit that you’re ever wrong.

oh, and if i missed you saying the same thing that jt o’sullivan said it’s because i immediately skip over every single interminable word salad that you post the moment i read a personal insult towards me. incidentally i end up not reading 90% of what you type.

Texas is in a different category of talent.

Its actually hilarious that there's so much film on this guy and you guys have seen most if not all of it repeatedly and you still haven't come to a consensus because of emotional garbage or who knows what. 

Quinn Ewers was painfully adequate. That's the enigma here. 

He was obviously an elite talent, who has head scratching mediocre film for a substantial amount of his career. 

He also has a pretty crazy highlight reel that is easily top 5 every season he played. Dude makes insane throws and had incredible touch. 

He also had complete shitfest games that are inexcusable at his level or for an NFL caliber player. Think OK State + Georgia reg season

Everyone has arguments that are correct on aspects or portions of his body of work, but Quinn as the complete body of work is just Painfully Adequate. 

Agreed, but it is extremely unfair & out of line (IMO) to call him a “bum” like some have here. 
He’s been a damn good representative for the Texas Longhorn program and does not deserve such vitriol. 
Save that crap for the Johnny Foosballs.

lmao, yesterday you were talking a whole bunch of shit about me ducking you, failing to “post receipts”, and failing to “answer your question”, and when i said, “what the hell are you even talking about? you are confusing me with someone else” you didn’t have anything to say for the first time in your life you incendiary dumbass. you’ve been nothing but combative and insulting this entire thread, and yet you’re really going to convince yourself that that’s not true, that it’s everyone else.

well now you can feel free to go ahead and post the receipts to back up what you’re saying. go ahead and link me to some of these insane arguments you see me making everywhere. oh and feel free to wander over to the hoops and baseball boards where 95% of my posts are and ask them how often i’m just starting dumbass arguments like the ones you do all over this thread. “i read the other boards” he says. lol. fuck outta here.

You made a comment about Quin's completion percentage. I cornered you on it and you continued to duck the question. I am not the receipts guy. That is JimmyJazz. You argue with so many people you can't even keep your opponents straight. Again, only one of us has had timeouts(multiple) for lighting the forum on fire, and that person is not me. I am only an asshole on this board. I am quite agreeable on others. BTW I have advocated for you on multiple occasions just so you know.

your completion percentage is going to be higher when the majority of your throws are your first read which is right near/behind the LOS, and yet…

it's honestly incredible, your entire posting history of making excuses for every single area where QE lacks. never his fault. always someone else’s fault. fascinating.

Here you go. Again, you are arguing with so many people you can't keep things straight. That response was to me btw

see above. i have no problem discussing QE or dealing with someone with a differing opinion, or even changing my mind or conceding that i’m wrong. but you’re just so often insulting with the very first line of so many of your posts that i just skip that shit and move on. i’m not going to read the next 500 words of your post when the first two words are, “listen dumbass.” but uh, keep on convincing yourself that you’re not at all combative and are totally above the fray. can’t wait for you to quote this post, claim victory, and then still be like, “derka is so combative but i’m totally not.” lol

If the Quinn Ewers thread keeps opening up on your computer and forcing you to post on it, try shutting down and restarting your system. That should clear up the problem. If not, your computer may have a virus.

Hahah, did you not notice in the last page Sam was discussed and that Vince, Colt, Major and Simms have been steady components of this thread.

This is primarily a University of Texas forum and this is the Texas Football sub. Quinn is going to continue to be compared to how other Texas QBs performed in the NFL, how he performed compared to Manning and other aspects of former Texas QBs. If you want discussion content that is purely Quinn's performance while in the NFL at Miami with no historical Texas QB references, you might want to TRY Here

Meanwhile we just came off a stretch where we were irrelevant for 14 years Big. Let's not try to make it like the two things are ever comparable.

We went 10-4 in 2018 with Sam and lost to OU in the Big 12 Championship game. We did this in a season where only 2 players got drafted and had a major asshole as a coach who would literally punish the team by feeding them burnt food. Texas players were telling recruits not to come because Herman was such a dick.

Put Quinn on the 2018 team and he would turtle faster than Sam could lose a game by throwing a ridiculous INT. The last two years of our talent are miles ahead of what we had in 2018 and yet during that time of “irrelevance” we still managed to win 10 games.

That's the thing Derka. No one is right about anything cuz the guy hasn't played one snap in the NFL yet. You are going all in based on his draft position.
