Based on this IG song…looks like he’s playing against tcu? Lolol
Just trying to read the tea leaves here lol
Anwar outlined the sense of urgency in the War Room.
Ewers is significantly better right now than Colt was in 2007.
He's literally in the middle of the second-best passing season in Texas school history,
They were ok. I'm defending Ewers in this thread, but his deep passing does kind of suck.
I do think we overrated him as a prospect. He had flaws in high school that have been issues in college and when I pointed them out back then, people were laughing me out of the room.
I don’t disagree with that, but I’m not expecting Ewers to become a playmaker like Colt did. We have AJ McCarron at the helm with Ewers. A solid player who manages the game. You can win national championships with that. Will he be more than that? Doubtful.
I will totally buy that he's not as good as his ranking said he should be.
I just think there's more in him that a little extra time in the oven and a little more seasoning might provide.
He could be Carson Palmer-ish.
The thing is back in 2007, people were really, really down on Colt and believed that 2006 was kind of a fluke and that he wasn't gong to take a future step.
Sometimes you have to let these dudes slowly grow. Sometimes they don't, sometimes, they do.
Carson Palmer was the number 1 overall pick and a Heisman Trophy winner. Say Quinn comes back next year and pulls that off wouldn't that justify his ranking?? Say he becomes a top 15 Pick in 2025 first Team All American & invited to New York for ceremony.
In Palmer's 3rd season (he redshirted his second season), he threw 16 touchdowns and 18 interceptions, while posting a 118.0 efficiency ranking.
Two seasons later, he threw 33 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
I don't recall many people talking about hope when he was outplayed by Josh Freeman at home that year and lost to OU the next week.
Or when they lost to A&M and he was 17 of 32 for 229 yards.
I'm not saying I don't believe you, but I wish we had some archives that allowed you to prove what you're saying.
Except a lot of that was really flukey and dependent upon having so many big time players around him. The bloom off that rose started to come off by the end of 2006 and it carried into 2007.,
Exactly there is a process to this. Bo Nix, Michael Penix are having stellar seasons but looking at their 2nd seasons as starters. Penix is a 6th year Senior, Bo Nix 5th Year Senior. I agree with you the best thing about the injury is Maalik's performance has left a lo to be desired and now all Texas fans may appreciate Quinn more and maybe that will help with the fan base. The bad part his he could have had some stat padding games against BYU and Kansas State plus the rest of the schedule TCU, Iowa State and Tech.
that 2006 team was loaded with talent everywhere. That team underperformed. Has the Big 12 Championship but the Colt Injury with final two losses at Kstate and Texas A&M really derailed that season.
I don't think it sucks--that's an exaggeration. He's shown he can hit the deep ball--is it his strong suit--no, but I saying it "sucks?" It doesn't suck.
Ewers has tons of playmakers and they aren’t having big seasons. At least Colt made players better.
Prior to injury Quinn was on Pace have close to 4k yards passing the most in a single season and 26 passing touchdowns top 5 in single season. Adonai Mitchell and Xavier Worthy on pace to have both over 800 yards passing with Mitchell over 10 TDs. Are expectations (mine included) were extremely high but this team is producing. Brooks is top 6th rushing back in nation.
It is a shame. It's Texas squeaking by teams, some bad teams like houston, that is giving them trouble. It would help if they could win more comfortably the next three games.
Not a single 1000 yard receiver this year or last. 800 yards is okay, but not what we should expect from this offense with this amount of talent. Brooks is a beast, but Ewers has nothing to do with that.
He has wide open receivers every game that he misses, hell, even Sark said that he’s not taking the shots that are there.
Every quarterback has wide open receivers--he can only throw the ball once per play, but his completion percentage is almost 71%. That's really good, and very low turnovers--that's not a quarterback that is having trouble seeing down the field.
And I don't remember Sark saying that he's not taking the shots that are there--he was critical last year, but not this year.
and saying that a quarterback isn't taking the shots that are there is not the same thing as saying that he's struggling with the deep ball.
Agree. I don't think any of us need to be worried about Arch transferring, certainly not at this point. He and his family are committed to Sark.
