Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (About Quinn Ewers...)

What's the most important position in the sport?
This is a SUPER subjective question.
Can you win a Championship with an average QB? Probably not.
Can you win a Championship with an average OL? Doubtful.

Can Texas win the Big 12 with an average QB? Bohanan's and Sander's QB ratings were both lower than Thompson's. Are you going to tell me both of those guys are elite QBs? There are 5 Big Ten QB's with better QBR's than McNamara, yet he's in the playoff.

But I'd be willing to bet Baylor, Ok St and Michigan all have better OL's than Texas.

Ok, I’ve heard what I need to in order to favor Texas for Banks.

I think the only thing that saved Harbaugh was him being a "Michigan man". Coming into this season, he was 0-6 vs Ohio State, 3-3 vs Michigan State, and 1-4 in bowl games. He's been their Mark Richt. I'd love to see them hoist the trophy this year though. It'd be a victory for patience!
I'd love to see anyone but Bama, Clemson or Ohio State raise the damn thing.

Do you think one of the things that saved Harbaugh was the lack of options for marquee replacements?

Can you win a Championship with a bad defense? No.

A lot of D1 QBs can hit Xavier Worthy if given time. So many times this year Casey barely finished his drop before he was getting sacked.

We won one with an average WR corps and average LB's.

Super O-line and greatest player ever at QB. Super D-line and D backfield. Excellent RB room.

Thoughts on Texas in 2009?
 
Totally agree on Aranda but thought the last game was probably his worst effort of the year. He was bailed out by the two heroic goal line stands.

Witness:

Egregious clock management at end of first half.

VERY ill advised decision to go for it on 4th down from his end of the field.

Defensive backs playing too far off the receivers on OU State's last drive revived memories of the catastrophic Dallas prevent defense.
 
Is the thought that GP would step into the DC position to replace PK? Or, maybe a co-DC with PK? What's your thought on this, since it didn't seem like he was too interested in an analyst position?

Maybe a bit of an outlier? And I don't know enough about the Cam Newtown team at Auburn, maybe their line wasn't great either and he just did the damn thing.

I'm not saying a guy with a cape at QB can't backpack his team to ship.

But I think a stud OL is more apt to bring a 5 star QB into the fold, than a 5 star QB is going to bring the OL.

I don't think Brady went to TB for the weather. I think he made them use a top draft pick on a left tackle and assemble a badass line before he went to play for them.
 
Card being a miss was apparent by the 2nd quarter of the Arky game.

Mark my words, Ewers under Sark will not be a bust. I prefer Arch, but I’d take Ewers in a heartbeat given last season.

Remember Joe Burrow in 2019? Ewers + Bijan + Worthy could be the foundation of another great team. And that’s not just hoping for best @Ketchum

Personally I think Ewers is a selfish person and could be a problem, disruptive. Malik is a quality person committed to our University. Hope he goes to Tech.

I'm just never going to stop believing that not having the quarterback position answered, which Texas currently doesn't, isn't the No.1 area of need.

It does not mean that the No.2 area of need is any less. This is like an ugly Miss America contest.
