Sark is afraid to put Arch in and have him look better than Quinn. So it’s run game and screens the rest of the way.

This dude is made of glass. Was playing well today and gets rolled up on and is now injured Quinn again.

Lmao. If you think this then he should be fired.

Not really. There’s obviously unique optics around the backup being a Manning and the most popular player on the team.


Sark obviously believes Quinn, when right, is the best QB to lead this team. Theres potentially a LOT of external pressure introduced about who the right QB to lead the team is if Arch comes in and looks great. Quinn is unlucky (even if it’s who he is at this point) to have been injured in a game he was playing well. I don’t think Sark wants that controversy based on Quinn getting hurt, which is different than what happened vs UGA.

It was a questionable decision, but it wasn’t made for fear of having MORE success with the backup in a closeish game. If it was he’s a terrible coach and shouldn’t work here.

Got to hide your biggest weakness on offense.

FIFY. He's the weak link of the entire team. If we just had average QB play we'd be the best team in the country.

You mean like Dart? Sanders?

Regarding today, he was playing well before the injury (still not the best deep ball), but he was playing really well. It seems stupidly obvious to state that a QB's footwork is important, but for Quinn it is everything. Once he couldn't even walk without a limp, it was game over for his ability to throw and run the offense.

I don’t think any team in the history of modern football has ever played an entire second half without throwing the ball past the line of scrimmage because they’re confident with their quarterback play. 
 

KSU beat Texas several years ago while completing 5 passes or something.

We're winning in spite of him. If you can't see that I don't know what to tell you.

You guys are just waiting for anything negative to happen so you can pull out your keyboard. Lol. Glad you had your moment. I wish for everyone to have a good time.

I watched the first half and liked what I saw. He was pretty good and seemed to be comfortable in the pocket and moving and scrambling if needed. That Ewers can beat most teams that Texas will face. His deep passes weren’t that good.

That “strip sack” was just bad luck to me. I watched it on my phone and it just looked like an int.

2nd to last regular season game, spends the entire viewing time during a win waiting to rip on the QB after any errant throw online. Pretty sad existence. Couldn’t be me!

Sark should've pulled him at the half.

No, we’re not. We’re all Longhorns. Why would we want to watch goofy ass QB play every Saturday? The dude moves like he’s 45. Velocity is non existent. The deep ball is hall of fame trash. His pocket presence was pretty good today, I was slightly encouraged.

The fumble/pick 6 was not an injury thing. That was also a pretty good defensive play.

The screen pass he threw on the 3rd and 23 was pathetic and he should have been pulled immediately after that. It sucks for him because he looked pretty good in that first half. 

Also, the fact he gets hurt about every other game is going to ding his draft stock maybe more than any play on the field.

If Sark rolls a one leg Ewers out next week, it might get ugly if he refuses to pull him.  He obviously can’t throw on one leg, that’s why we just ran at the end.  Or Maybe we win 10-7 or some shit but putting him out there like that will handicap the offense so damn much.

You shitting me with the fumble pick??  Watch the replay, he’s not putting a lot of weight on one leg, other leg gets bumped into and he stumbles and does that.

I didn't post anything until the game was over but sure I guess.

The OL also didn’t hold up well on that play.

Unfortunate. He showed improvement in multiple areas early in the game. Even put some more zip on a long ball that was actually catchable if it weren’t for dpi. But then of course gets hurt again. Everything that happened after that I put the blame on Sark, not Quinn.

It was a fumble. He had the ball knocked out of his hands by a rusher. He was trying to gather it and pushed it forward.

I agree. I saw him gimping around after that scramble.

His best pass was after the injury (TD to Gunnar). He was definitely banged up, no idea how badly. I worry more about plays like the dropped snap and then a backwards throw to get rid of the ball. That was just a WTF moment

Non hobbled Ewers averaged 5.5 yards per completion against an Arkansas team last week that held walk-on tryouts for secondary positions the week before. Hobbled Ewers didn’t even attempt a second half pass past the line of scrimmage today against Kentucky. By any metric, these are examples of bad quarterback play, healthy and unhealthy. If fans seem anxious, it’s because we have an elite defense, veteran offensive line, and 5* playmakers surrounding a quarterback that currently struggles to walk and throw. It’s frustrating because even with a 10-1 record, our ultimate goal of winning a national championship feel out of reach without a change or drastic improvement. 

By anyone with eyes, we fucking dominated the run game making none of that relevant

Seems fine to me, settle down Francis 

the UK pick 6 happened literally 90 seconds after it was posted, hence my post.
