Herman was an egotistical clown. Sark falls nowhere in that category. I would call Sark more stubborn if anything. He’s an extremely likeable guy, Tom was not.

stubborn and ego go hand in hand...the difference is SO far sark hasn't let it get the best of him..like Herman...yet..
I love that Sark gave Whittington credit for providing a spark in the second half. Lol. Hey coach, guess what, it was there to be had all game. Not only Whittington, but Sanders too could’ve had huge games. It was there.
How do I know? Because TCU was loading the box AND doubling Worthy all over the field, meaning they didn’t have the personnel to stop those two. Would’ve been nice to find that out, instead of your hard headed ass flat out fvcking wasting every other play with yet another and afvckingnother utterly futile derp ball attempt to Worthy.
They knew exactly what you were going to do, and knew that you were too stupid to change what you wanted to do.
I’ve been on your side, but this shit has to stop. You’re not giving Ewers a fair chance to be the guy this way, and if he’s not the guy, you better recognize it and move on, or risk going down with the ship. That is fvcking all.

All this talk on the OL. You may have some points. But, at least, Ewers ended TCU's run of injuring opponents QBs. Got hit a few, got his backside dirty, but finished the game. Gotta give the OL some kudos for that, at least.
A good off season along with strength conditioning, they'll be a lot better. I'm not jumping off this ship, yet.🤘

I would say that's subjective. Most passes there's a primary read and then you have your secondary reads. It's up to Quinn to decide who he throws the ball too. Just because he locks in on Worthy and force feeds him the ball doesn't mean there isn't other guys who are in his progressions. I think Quinn deserves some blame on this one. He's locking in Xavier and not looking at his secondary reads.
The one thing Sark can do to help him is start throwing some more screens. Give him some high percentage throws to let him get his confidence built up.
I've went back and watched every single game this year at least once over. Every time I go back I see multiple plays left out on the field only because Quinn wasn't seeing the field well. That wheel route he missed to Bijan the other night is a perfect example. That was a lay up and he just flat out missed it. There's been 4 or 5 of those from each games that have been missed.
Bottom line is there's plays there to be made from what i'm seeing but Quinn is still young and not seeing the field well. A little bit of it has to do with the shaky interior of our offensive line.
I really wonder if Quinn really does have a hurt throwing hand/finger or something, and that perhaps TCU somehow knew it coming into the game.
That wheel route were he "missed" Bijan is not on Quinn. Bijan was the #1 read. He was covered up initially. Sanders was the #2 read. By time the defender fell down and lost track of Bijan, Quinn had already moved on and delivered a 1st down to his secondary read.
Now, could Quinn have waited just a tick longer? Maybe, but then we blame him for being too slow in his progression if he were to take a sack, or allows the defense to cover up the secondary read.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Pass pro was slightly above average vs. TCU except the RG. He was piss pour.
Bijan had a step on that defender and no safety help over the top. He should have made that throw before the defender even fell. If he puts a little air under that ball that's 6 either way. I'm just saying there's been some plays there to be made and they haven't executed. Not letting Sark off the hook all the way but he has put them in position to make some plays at times and they just haven't delivered. I think sometimes that gets lost in the mix.
Generally wheel routes are all or nothing, not a throw it up route and hope your guy beats the other guy. The route combos off of the wheel are meant to occupy the vacated area if the wheel is covered.
So, I'm going to disagree slightly here. I'll concede that Quinn could've waited a tick longer, but I'm also not calling this a "miss"
Agree to disagree then. There was no hope about it, Bijan had the guy beat regardless.
He didn't have him beat until well beyond the LOS. That is 100% fact. WTF
By that time the QB is beyond in progression. The ONLY argument here is if he should've given Bijan a second to beat his defender. Wheel routes aren't constructed to get a favorable 1v1 matchup. They're designed to be wide ass open.
He was open and the protection was there. He panicked and hit his check down. Go back and watch it. It's ok if you disagree with me, I still respect your opinion.

I'm telling what the purpose of a wheel route is. I did watch it, and rewatched it. And I already stated, that I'd concede that he could've waited a tick longer to allow Bijan to get a bit deeper in his wheel, but when Quinn set his feet there was a defender in the area that should've been vacated. So he moved on to Sanders and got the 1st down. It is being highly over critical to blame anything that happened after on the QB. We bitch about Card in how slow he is to process and take sacks and then bitch about a QB going too quickly through his progressions.
This isn't for you personally (you seem to have some knowledge), but I'm done talking QB play on here and especially twitter. A bunch of warehouse workers trying to talk QB play has run its course. Everyone one of them played HS football and ran the damn wishbone, have never coached QBs, never coordinated pass plays, etc. It is irritating. Not a damn one them know anything about of which they speak. Just regurgitating what they hear on NFL Countdown, smfh.
I feel you on that last paragraph. Twitter is a toxic place. I only go there for sports news. I don't engage with anybody there because it's full of outlandish bullshit.
We can agree to disagree on that one. He's not an elite QB but he's an above average QB. You don't go 55-34 as a starting QB in the NFL and suck. I think some of you guys have amnesia and seem to forget how bad the QBs were from Aikman to Romo. Now that was the definition of suck.
