I don’t even see this as a possible outcome. I think next year the Mannings and Arch are guaranteed QB1. I don’t see a world in which QE plays another season of CFB and plays for Texas. I could see him going to Michigan, Miami, Oregon, and a small handful of SEC schools if he gets around the intraconference transfer rules, than being back at Texas.

Michigan is desperate.  Would be funny if he came back and played at DKR in a Michigan uniform.  

 

I'm going to assume Sark ain't dumb enough to give up three years of Arch for 1 year of Quinn

There was an article out there that basically explained it saying Arkansas played 3 high and it absolutely takes the deep balls away. It’s also true Ewers doesn’t throw it as well as we’d like but in the end until Texas can reliably run the ball, teams are going to force Texas to run and short pass the way down the field.  Sark said as much and it’s why he said in the second half we had to be able to run the ball. Again, we have to start with a good running game for sark’s offense to be as deadly as we’ve known it to be.

That is correct. Tell it to the rest of these guys.

Sark can be very stubborn with his packages. Very. Last year we figured out using an extra linemen would force teams out of that 3 safety look but Sark has abandoned it. He wants to always be able to throw it so he will stubbornly stay with 12 personnel at worst. He also doesn't really like to throw outs, comebacks, or stop routes. You know, shit most teams throw every game. He only really dusts those off when we are struggling. When he is calling it the way he wants to every route is on the move. Even the short shit for the most part. Last game as soon as we needed to put points on the board Sark went in his bag and called what he knew would work and we marched right down and scored. When Arch first popped in the game this year he was running that Shanahan OZ boot with levels on the back end to give Arch half field reads. He doesn't do that for Quinn unless he has to. He finally rolled the pocket for the guy on Saturday.

Our defense would have 10 sacks and multiple picks

That's not how football works. Notice you said they have a bad pass defense. Why? Could it be that because they employ a 3-3-5 in the SEC they find themselves having to spin DBs down to deal with the running game leaving them vulnerable on the back end?

And if that were true wouldn't it mean that if they ever played a team that couldn't force them to spin down their DBs to help in the running game they would find themselves a little more capable on the back end? Quinn did not play well but we have struggled vs the 3-3-5 flyover since Sark has been here. The way Sark's route combos are matchup well with what the 3-3-5 does. The throw up the sideline to Golden that got broken up and the throw to Wingo are easily defended due to the 3 safeties on the field. In both those instances they rushed 3 qand dropped 8. Those same routes vs 2 safeties are catches.

Sometimes a team is finding running success but you decide it isn't hurting you bad enough to come out of your base shell. You would rather trade giving up rushing yards in order to prevent from giving your opponent easy passing yards. We do this all the time.

I swear you might be Quinn Ewers….  Does the fact he was 98th in passes over 20 yards last year and worse this year resonates with you at all. 10 plus is not great either.   Or is it all someone else’s fault because the RB, the oline, the weather, ect aren’t perfect?   I’m not close to as against him as you are for him no matter what.

The funny thing is I think he would do really well in an offense like Michigan’s, assuming there’s a solid power RB and a couple of targets for him to throw to. I imagine Michigan fans would kill for QE this year at QB too.

Michigan doesn’t come back to Austin until 2027, playoffs notwithstanding. Arch gets to face off against Ohio State the next two years for our non conf big opponent.

Michigan really would be a perfect match if he doesn’t like where his draft grades put him.

The dude has made god knows how much money already, he’s going to go if he’s graded anywhere in the top 3 rounds. Which he will be. He’s not coming back to college. Michigan is about to dump their whole pile on a QB and it won’t be Ewers.

I’ll just make a few notes for posterity here.

The run game has been fine.  Georgia was the worst, and it was Wisner the whole time.  We may be small, but it’s a bs excuse to not hit it up some between the tackles.  Blue has been showing a feel the last two games.  He can provide some run inside.

We went from criticizing Michigan and their cover 3 (Nevermind they showed cover 2 presnap, ran some 4/5/6 man fronts) to wondering how this 3 safety look confuses the hell out of us.  Watch the S on the Golden TD.  Terrible.  We had opportunities deep.

Versus Michigan, we broke the pocket or stepped into it.  The 30 yarder to Bond was terrible execution on UMs part.  Helm TD broken pocket.  Same for the called back TD.  The intermediate stuff was largely missing here too 

I’ll buy that we need to sit on our routes more.  Have Quinn rip it in there.  Sark wanted his arm.  Use it then.  

Blue needs to be our offensive MVP the remainder of the season.  He’s the biggest mismatch on the field bard on the matchups he’ll likely get.

QE is facing defenses that aren’t respecting the run. Bijan was a known entity his first year, JBrooks was feared his second year, and now we’re out multiple guys for Quinn’s third year. The man coverage isn’t happening as much. I haven’t seen a 15 yard out once this year I remember. X got that 2-3 times a game. The check downs, while annoying, are the right move.

The rush to quit on Blue isn’t warranted.

Nobody quit on him. We were all rightfully leery of a guy who isn’t really built to run between the tackles a bunch, looked banged up prior the Florida game and is averaging a fumble about every 40 touches for his career over 3 years.

Blue and Wisner both getting 15ish touches a game is the sweet spot for this offense. We need to stop pretending we have a bellcow RB on this team who needs to touch the ball 20+ times.

i like how we have a video of chris simms, who is clearly trying to exalt Texas with his take, explicitly saying, “quinn ewers locks onto his first read and then just stands frozen in the pocket waiting for him to get open, instead of making his read progressions and looking for his second, third, fourth option”, and that video, which got glossed over by 99% of the people here, is surrounded by 300 pages of surly posters going, “nah that’s bullshit, our running game just sucks.”

we legitimately have a qb who is 1)not a threat to run, 2)not a threat to regularly throw the ball more than five yards downfield, 3)who cannot make read progressions, and 4)who is scared of contact and has zero pocket presence because of it, and yet the popular sentiment among a large portion of this thread is, “yeah if our run game was better then everyone would see how awesome quinn ewers is.”

i’m going to name some qbs, and i’ll ask you to think of the times that they led- truly led- Texas to a victory via their leadership and on-field play, particularly in tight/big games.

•peter gardere

•james brown

•major applewhite

•chance mock

•vince young

•colt mccoy

•case mccoy

•tyrone swoopes

•sam ehlinger

•arch manning

•quinn ewers

now ask yourself: with all of the wins we’ve had during QE’s time as a starter, why doesn’t he immediately have more famous wins come to mind than the likes of, say, james brown, major applewhite, or sam ehlinger? we all thought of the game in tuscaloosa when we saw quinn’s name, but what else? how many times has our third year, “heisman candidate/no.1 overall pick”, $1M NIL QB actually led his team to a win with his leadership and play? not many. i’m not saying he’s all hat and no cattle, but is like 90/10. our defense, coaching, and stockpile of nfl talent has been winning us games while our superstar QB has largely been a passenger.

And this is exactly the example of what I am talking about above. Derka is using the phrase " heisman candidate/no.1 overall pick”, $1M NIL QB". Those are Derka's expectations based on what he was told by some 9.95ers years ago. I knew after 3 games that Jordan Whittington wasn't really a 5 star. Same with Johnathan Gray. If a guy is not overly athletic he can always be gotten to by a good pass rush. The only thing special about Ewers is his arm. He isn't particularly tall to see over the defense. He is pretty slight and isn't going to break arm tackles. He isn't going to juke you and he isn't fast enough to run away from defenders. When you come to that realization you start to see him differently and your expectations adjust accordingly. You stop saying why can't Ewers do A, B, and C that he cannot physically do and you start saying why aren't we giving him A, B, and C so he can do what we know he can do.

Because Derka, we all have eyes and can see Ewers going through his progressions. Even the announcers at the game are talking about him going through his progressions in real time. 1:30, 9:03, and 9:22 of the video below are three quick examples of Ewers CLEARLY going through progressions.

It's not about being for him or against him. It's simply understanding what you are looking at and how matchups work. You guys heard he was the highest rated QB recruit ever and bought into that shit. Now you are disappointed every week the dude trots out on the field expecting him to be something he isn't. Had you seen him as the unathletic player he is you wouldn't be here crying every week. Why isn't there 85 pages of how shitty Card was? Because he wasn't a 99 recruit rating. Your disappointment is your own fault. Quit getting mad at me because dude doesn't live up to your lofty expectations. 
You've been looking at this kid for 3 years now and are still pissed that he can't run, gets hurt easily, and the line has to keep him clean in able for him to perform. Why haven't you accepted his short comings and moved on? Tom Brady was a statue in his time and didn't have the arm other QBs did. So they gave him a great line and built an offense around him based on the short passing game.
Dude had a mediocre game with no turnovers but yall are here bitching like he threw 3 picks and we lost.

There are people here saying that he threw the ball decently against ark and that can win playoff games. 200 yards ain’t much when you need points. I’m pretty sure they’ll be a game where Texas needs to score.

and to help you Derka the hyperbole in this post is why people respond to you the way they do. Opposing teams are keeping their safeties back because THEY respect our ability to carve them up more than they respect our ability to run on them. Defensive alignment by your opponent tells you WHAT they feel is the most dangerous part of your offense. Arkansas kept 3 high safeties all day saying if you are going to beat us you are going to do it throwing underneath. Below is two shots of us in 12 personnel. Heavy run sets with double tight ends. One shot is the 1st series and the other the 4th quarter. Look at Arky sitting in 3 high completely ignoring what we have in the box. What are they afraid of Derka? They are afraid of that same QB you say sucks and isn't a threat to throw the ball downfield. When you have a box this light vs 7 blockers YOU DO NOT respect your opponent's running game at all.

too lazy to go back and find my post in the Texas v ark thread, but I pulled out 2 looks that Ark ran vs Tenn that I thought Texas would see in the game. 

1 was the 3 high look. They gave Tenn the run much of the game and completely shut down the passing game. RB had about as many yards rushing as Nico had passing. I am sure you saw that, if you looked to crop out some look from the game 

The other look was a 7 man pressure, where they dropped 2 and brought 5

Yes I saw that. They ran some 3 high usually in long yardage situations or vs 11 personnel, but not against heavy run packages. With us they stayed in 3 high with 3 man fronts pretty much the entire game no matter if we trotted Helm and Davis out there in 12 personnel or not. They were determined to keep our passing game in check and completely ignored our running game. It's a pretty consistent theme with us. I know you know that.

Ok. Now we're talking.

What I've noticed is defenses are willing to take a chance with our crazy running game where we ask the C or G to pull and reach a LB that is way faster and has seen film, so isn't guessing. We miss a lot of blocks.

The running game is good enough, but not consistent enough, for teams to have to commit to it. 

Similarly, the deep ball game is not consistent at all unless a player is WIDE TF OPEN. So teams try to eliminate wide open free receivers deep. 

Where does Quinn operate best? Medium range, so put 5 players in the middle and try to decrease his effectiveness there. 

If nothing else, defenses are trying to force perfection (or, at least, hope the offense makes a mistake before the defense does.)

Minimize the potential of the weapons.

Which one? The missed slant in the redzone (not catchable) or the one at his feet along the sideline (miracle catchable)? To be fair, he did drop a perfect pass too.

  Michael Irvin used to say that Aikman's passes kind of hung in the air for you to grab. Quinn throws a similar ball, easy for the RBs to catch. When Troy would throw deep he leaned back like an archer shooting an arrow, no change in his throwing motion at all, just changed the trajectory. Niether of them had great deep balls but I think QE will also find a way to work with it, he does get in streaks where he hits the deep routes.

its simple. Texas has a NC caliber team, and the starting QB is currently ranked 13th among SEC QBs by PFF. Nobody cares if a QB sucks on a 5-7 team. They tend to get pissy when the QB appears to be the biggest liability to winning a NC

Outside of that same deep post he always misses what deep ball did he "miss" vs Pig? I saw a few the DBs made plays on two and one that was absolutely a PI. Now ask yourself why they made plays on them. Because they were 3 safeties across, ignoring the run game by playing a 3 man front and dropping 8. Most teams see that and bully them in the run game to get them out of that. We tried and they stayed in it.

Also, Tom Brady was a 6th round pick because people thought of him what you think of Ewers. We forget how he started out.

I thought 2 of Ewers deep throws in that game had far too much touch on them. The receivers were open but the ball took too long to arrive. For a guy that can supposedly make all the throws, we never get to see the velo.

Outside of that same deep post he always misses what deep ball did he "miss" vs Pig? I saw a few the DBs made plays on two and one that was absolutely a PI. Now ask yourself why they made plays on them. Because they were 3 safeties across, ignoring the run game by playing a 3 man front and dropping 8. Most teams see that and bully them in the run game to get them out of that. We tried and they stayed in it.

Also, Tom Brady was a 6th round pick because people thought of him what you think of Ewers. We forget how he started out.

It was a PI because he horribly under threw it…. It was a td with a good pass.  If they are that deep maybe hit the receivers that were open in the middle of the field all game?  Also the ones the DB’s made plays on is because it was a bad pass that was floating instead of having an easy completion with some zip on it….  Do you call your son Quinn or do you have a cool nickname for him?

And that is correct but those aren't misses. Ball was there but the DB just made a play on them. We aren't even talking abut those if they don't have 3 safeties on the field. Two safeties and the DB isn't close enough to make a break on them. Touchdown.

Wow,  didn't realize that if a defense plays 3 high that you have to automatically shut down the deep passing game. Great adjustment by Arkansas, too bad we're not allowed to make adjustments and just have to accept that we can't throw deep. Hopefully no one else runs 3 high against us!

its simple. Texas has a NC caliber team, and the starting QB is currently ranked 13th among SEC QBs by PFF. Nobody cares if a QB sucks on a 5-7 team. They tend to get pissy when the QB appears to be the biggest liability to winning a NC

the AP has been naming a national champion for 88 years now, and we’ve won four of them. four. we’ve won once since 1970. we have an all time Texas defense, the best offensive/qb coach in the country, arguably the best group of pass catchers in the country, multiple nfl o linemen, and then a QB who plays like a scared 3rd string backup who can only handle one-read routes and swing passes. his limitations irrefutably hold back the rest of our offense and the rest of our national championship caliber team.

it is just baffling that so many people not only defend him, but basically absolve him of any blame for his own shortcomings and failures. like yeah, it’s totally steve sarkisian, kelvin banks, gunnar helm, and matthew golden’s fault that we can’t move the ball or score points. give me a break.

yeah it’s kind of like blitzing in postseason bowl games. i mean we all wish you could do it, but you just can’t.

When I read arm talent next to Ewers, I keep saying to myself I don't get it.  Everyone says he has those throws in his arsenal, but what's the difference.  If he has it but doesn't know when to use it, that's the same as not having it.  He may be able to throw the ball a mile, but he would put so much air on it that a defensive lineman could make it back there to defend it.

This is a valid criticism. The first missed TD to Golden. A few other throws. The window is there and the ball gets there a half second late. Those need more mustard or to be thrown sooner.

Sark absolutely deserves criticism too. 

the biggest criticism he deserves is for sticking with QE during the georgia game. on game days sark is winning us games and scoring us points more than any play caller in UT history. sark has set our offense up to be in a position to win every game (save UGA) by multiple TDs if quinn weren’t so inaccurate and poor in the pocket. our schemes, as limited as they are, have been working. the plays have been there, our qb just hasn’t made many of them.

You know what the adjustment is to 3 high safeties? Running the football until they stop it.
