The players know who the best players are. They always know. You lose the team if you don’t play the best players and the best recruits will not show up if you’re not giving them the chance to win the job or playing favorites.
Well, what are they saying? I am sure something about not punishing a team that plays in their conference championship. However, with aggy you have to consider the fact that with their weak conference schedule (No Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, or Tennessee) they really didn't deserve to be in the SEC Championship in the first place. The committee has said it is about rewarding the best teams, not necessarily the most deserving teams. See Florida State last year. There will be better teams with better records than a 10-3 aggy squad to choose from come Selection Sunday.
He's just a pretty good player. That's all. I've watched him for half a decade.
They are saying teams playing in conference title games won't be punished and miss out for losing.
Alex analyzes and grades every single play of the offensive line every week. It might not be quarter to quarter, but it’s in depth analysis of a position group that has the greatest effect on Quinn’s performance outside of the receivers. Great place to start.
It's so hard to compare eras that far back because the offenses were bunk and the quarterbacks often worse than that.
I’m gonna sit the rest of this one out. Recovering from a long drive home from Fayetteville.
In 2022 when he threw a wide field deep out route on a dime against Bama I would’ve agreed with you. But now we know he struggles playing in a phone booth and the NFL is a mosh pit of congestion. They are going to see he’s undersized, has bad feet, overrated arm strength, no downfield accuracy and his stock will plummet. 4th round at best, I’m betting on 5th.
That's got to sting Zorlac. Posting Ewers false narratives all day doesn't make Quinn better. He is what he is. An inconsistent QB with horrible mechanics and terrible pocket presence. Being as mobile as Herman Muenster doesn't help. Good kid with a good arm doesn't make a great QB.
But how different is that from other qbs? Again being streaky isn’t that unusual for an offense / qb. Ultimately if your game gbr is bad so be it. I’m not sure quarter by quarter says much.
Very good question. If someone can point me to the source of the qxq numbers I’ll report back
Most elite quarterbacks don't have such deep valleys. Their bad quarterback play is better.
I know that run first QBs have faired poorly against Texas this year. I know that Marcel Reed (I have no idea who Brooks is) had a 57 QBR against South Carolina. Green can throw from the pocket, Reed cannot. Daniels is a mediocre back.
I reread #4 page 1…. It said if Quinn could do a bit better in down quarters he could be elite. No mention of other players. It’s after all a QBR. My curiosity was piqued, when after reading it, I wondered which quarters Moore’s drops were in. 2 more completions with big chunks of yardage could have big impacts. Were they in his bad Quarters? Made me wonder what other factors can impact QBR outside of the QB’s control. Are all of Quinn’s “valleys” really all on him?
I'm pretty sure I came to the same conclusions about your opinion last week, and you told me, “I would not phrase it that way.” That you and a few others on here have come to the bold conviction that Arch is better than Quinn and that you can see it while Sark doesn't is quite the claim.
I’ve never said QE is a great QB or that he is better or worse than Arch. My stance, across multiple threads, is Sark is playing his best option to win. He see them daily, knows their tendencies, understands their grasp of the offense more than people posting on a message board.
I agree. Drops by receivers can be tracked also. Sometimes subjective but still important to grading a QB.
Ok would be interesting to compare Quinn to other top qbs quarter by quarter some weekend. My eyeball sees most qbs with good and bad quarters. Again not sure I disagree with conclusion. Where does Quinn rank right now in qbr in conference?
I can't do this thing where we pretend that Quinn hasn't had half a season of up and down play from game to game.
But they also stopped short of saying that simply making the game puts you in over someone that didn’t. You’re old enough to know how these things work. There are guidelines, always. But those guidelines are always ignored in favor of the eye test.
Haha. That’s my point. I think YAC is on receivers grade, good or bad, not Quinn. That’s why I think QBR is way too simplistic as currently used to gauge a QB’s performance.
7th
Is just a piece of the puzzle... but it's not subjective and it quantifies play transparently.
I think that number drops is we're talking conference play only.7th
