Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (What we KNOW about Quinn/Arch)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
I'm not overly concerned. I see lots of improvement.
Yeah it'll be interesting to see what he looks like when playing against the number 1 defensive unit which is what Quinn did yesterday and has all camp. Our #1 defense is plenty good. Arch is going to be a great QB but I do not believe he is the better QB currently. I'm a little disappointed in you Ketch, this just has a feel of you trying to do what the national media is doing, which is just trying to ride the wave of the non football crowd. So do you really believe Arch has the better skills? Why is that? He has better legs no doubt but I do not believe he has better throwing skills. They are both in the top 1 % there so I'm not sure how to come up with that? They were both the #1 QB of their class even though Quinn was a class earlier than he should have been and he played against the best 6A talent in Texas. Arch played against small private schools and is the reason why he's not quite where Quinn is. I do think Arch will be a great QB but he's not ready the way Quinn is (at least not yet). They both will get their time to shine and probably both will play this year in real moments against the best competition. We will really see how Arch does then. We know how QE did against the best and on the road. But go ahead, keep up the false narrative when we really don't know squat from a spring game? I thought you had gone to more scrimmages by now? We've seen both guys play plenty and both are very capable but currently Quinn is more prepared.

Hate a strong word, but suggesting that a guy who has never started a game in college is equal to a 3rd year starter who led Texas to its first playoff appearance ever suggest that you are inexplicably down on Ewers. Especially after we've heard nothing but praise from Sark. I think that Manning will be great, I don't for one minute believe that he is ready to do what Ewers did last year at Alabama. I doubt that you do either.
So, you can't quote a single thing...
Ewers is very good. He's not great.
You don't think it's possible that Manning is also very good?
??? I didn't say that you hate on him.
Do you really believe that Arch is ready to go into a place like Alabama or Georgia or Ole Miss or Michigan and win in his second start in college? I have zero doubt that Ewers is.
You've watched enough football to know that first year starters almost always struggle. It usually takes some time to adjust to the speed and violence and spectacle of the college game.

As I established above, Ewers has been a very good quarterback, but he's not great. Manning also isn't a great quarterback yet, but is anyone going to argue that he might not be very good right now?
I guess great means heisman finalist or something. maybe nitpicky. But im kinda in the camp that thinks Ewers is still in early stages of his development.
I never said that Arch should be the starter. I never said I thought he was better than Quinn.
What I said is that I don't KNOW that Quinn is better than Arch.
Yes, Arch still has to go through all of the firsts that all quarterbacks (including Quinn) went through.
Forget about the Heisman. He didn't break a 164 rating in 7 of his last 8 games.
That's not a super high bar.
BTW, I have been more correct on ewers than anyone in the industry. I've called the last two seasons almost exactly right as it relates to him.
I expect him to have a big year and be better than last year.
My take is Isaiah Bond will be a boom and bust type player. I think the drops and misconnections will continue but he showed all he needs is one pass that he will take to the house multiple times and all the drops and misconnections will be forgiven. I think this offense will be dynamic and explosive its going to be FUN to watch.

I didn't say that you said Arch should be the starter. You did, however, say:
" .....but I don't KNOW that the 2024 Longhorns will be better with him (Ewers) at quarterback than they would be with Manning as the starter."
Which means that you must have at least the same confidence in Manning going into Michigan in game 2 as you do with Ewers. My guess is that you don't really feel that way. I personally have no doubt that Ewers can win the Michigan game or when Georgia comes to town. I don't have nearly that much confidence that in Manning. Do you?

I think they are both very good quarterbacks. I thought I made that clear.
Are we going to ignore the fact that Ewers wasn't truly a plus/very good quarterback for large portions of last year?
Great read. One thought:
Is Sark playing the long game?
Ewers is a very good QB, with potential to have will have a great season.
Arch & Family are willing to be the back up another year.
Sark gets Arch for 25, 26.
Owens gets 27, 28 unless somebody beats him out.
It's the Georgia plan - experienced QBs who are older and know the system extremely well.

Stop dancing around my point.
Yes or no.
Do you have as much confidence in Manning leaving the Big House with a game 2 win as you do with Ewers?

That touchdown throw from Manning to Bond in the fourth quarter was something else. Manning just kind of flicked the ball right into Bond's breadbasket in stride. No quarterback makes it look that easy.
I am going to have to call this one out. Quinn makes it look that easy and throws dimes like this multiple times.
The TD to Worthy against Houston.
Long ball to Worthry against TCU (Worthy trips and fall untouched should have been a TD)
65 yard pass to AD Mitchell in Big 12 Championship game.
Washington pass to Worthy with Muhammad with great coverage
Pass to Whittington on final drive against Washington
Pass to AD mitchell on Sideline against Alabama
Pass to JT Sanders against OU 2022

Follow up B/S: If Quinn misses even one game to injury he never gets his job back?
It feels like once Manning gets his shot, he’s gonna wreck teams and not look back.I write from the heart.
Former Purdue receiver Deion Burks, who the Texas staff didn't prefer over the Portal receivers they took, was the star of the Oklahoma spring game, as he caught five passes for 174 yards and 2 touchdowns. When OU starting quarterback Jackson Arnold wasn't completing passes to Burks, he was 5 of 15 for 59 yards. So, yeah ... Burks is an important player for the Sooners. This an OU team with some talent, but it's hardly oozing with it.
Manny Muhammad - Lock up Burks
Pass Rush will be after Arnold all day
Nansen will help PK devise a scheme that mimics the Alamo bowl.

No, if you go back, he played against SOME #1's on defense and he played with SOME 1's on offense. The only time both sets were out there complete (especially DBs) was the first couple of series. After that is was a mix match of starters and others...That doesn't mean that I think Arch wouldn't have played well against them but it is much tougher against that first unit DBs. They are filthy... Both QBs are super, there is no reason to be rubbing salt on this...

catch radius concerns. I guess Johntay and moore are the chain movers? Will be interesting to see who supplants whittington, Mitchell, Sanders on coverting critical 3rd downs.
Hard to do a top 10 for a musical genius. Appreciate you doing it and allowing me to remember Controversy, as well as relive a little slice of 1981 in the process.This list had it 20th.
