Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Its merely speculative on my part but feel like he’s better trained than most for the next level. Now it’s largely about putting in the work and consistency of effort. This was my original statement. It does not conflict with your comment really. You could even add that he’s been on bigger stages than many of these other draftees, which should provide for better training too. Im not weighing in on whether he will succeed but rather saying that his past 3 years have better prepared him for the NFL than others.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Sark has been an NFL coach of late. His offense is not gimmicky. He understands the value in recruiting with respect to guys succeeding at the next level. He coached a 1st rounder recently. Sarks resume would indicate there’s some benefit in playing for him to benefit you at the next level. Injury concerns and footwork inconsistency are dings on his resume that are not necessarily failures to knowing how to play QB. I’ve never been Ewers biggest fan but taking flyers on some of those other guys over him is odd. And a number of teams were not in the market for a QB.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
I probably screwed up the part I was trying to quote. In my opinion this is very difficult to determine. I do look into the numbers. The numbers say otherwise. He gets rid of the ball quickly relative to his peers. You can contrast that to a guy like Caleb Williams. His average time to throw in college was rather high. Certainly he holds the ball longer to extend plays, but then he goes tothe NFL and gets sacked a ton. From a numbers perspective but also a practical consideration those things are related. He’s not processing quickly enough to the point of decision. It cracks me up when messages board users talk about a QB going through progressions. One because if your first read is open, you don’t progress tothe next option. Some time Quinn, for example, gives the defense a false read himself but throws it where he fully intended to go in the first place. I can’t say with certainty, but we went to the check down pretty quickly this year. That’s likely not choice two - by maybe it is or maybe in his mind he legit went thru them all. Then you’re limited as to knowing what a QB is taught. Then to prove all that out, there has to be some data to support in my opinion. Now, I’ve stated on this board that in my opinion at times he’s too quick to throw. And that could be considered not going thru progressions. But he was decisive. And presumably he threw because that WR was open enough. Its merely speculative on my part but feel like he’s better trained than most for the next level. Now it’s largely about putting in the work and consistency of effort.

Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
I like this cause it fits my narrative. WVU at #2. Mizzou at #183 versus #152 in the RPI. Breaks up the SEC. I think to get preferable tourney seeding a moderate to weak non-conference schedule is the way to go. Compile victories. WVU may be the test dummy for non-SEC teams though. Don’t screw with west coast teams because a number of those schools out west have some pitching to mess you up. They may not sweep you, but that pitching can take a game or two.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Now that you say that, I agree. I’d take Dion Marion over Difler though. Sark would likely not recruit Sam. He had an opportunity to have him as his QB. Ideally he wants the guy that can “make all the throws” Nevermind all those would be incredibly infrequent. In all my life, I’ve only seen one dude make a 1st down on 3rd and 10 scrambling for the first when the defense dropped 10 guys, but Sark doesn’t care about the dude that “can make all the scrambles.” Think Whittington and Johnson were related to being too bulky and inflexible this leading to their troubles. Flexibility issues cause problems.

Are you going down the path that Trent Dilfer is better than Dan Marion? That Craig Krenzel is better than, well, a ton of guys? And by the way I addressed a specific point that had nothing to do with wins and losses.

2025 SEC Baseball Thread
I try not to SEC. My bitterness and disdain for the SEC likely never subsides. I like that WVU has taken to that bogus scheduling. Win a lot of games, and it’s difficult to root you out. i also enjoyed all the close SEC games today. Aren’t they all barnburners?

If you lose to Missouri, that should eliminate you from post season consideration. I swear they were 160 in the RPI before playing Bama. 0-4 on the week and run ruled twice.

A few metrics for consideration from PFF between the 2. Sam had the highest passing grade in a single season. He had the highest single season big time throw rate and also a higher big time throw rate for his career. His career turnover worthy play rate was lower too although his frosh year was slightly higher than QEs year 3. 4.1 to 4.0. So there’s at least one reference point that is contrary to your belief. You should have said I’m more impressed with QEs arm than Sam’s.

Quinn played with more drafted linemen than all Texas QBs combined since what 2008? He never played at Texas without a draftable WR, TE or RB. He never played without a top 10 defense. His only game that we won in which the opponent scored 30+ was ASU. They got that in OT to get to 31. Beuchele, Card, Thompson, Sam all lost games scoring more than 31 points. I don’t think Ewers ever did. Theres no valid comparison between Ewers and any QB since Colt. Ewers had probably a top 5-ish of all time opportunity. Same system. Same staff instructing. Unmatched offensive talent in Texas history. There’s not really a close 2nd. He’s a more gifted Ken Dorsey without the title.

Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado
You think some random, anonymous quote impacts other teams perceptions? I’d assume that certain confidants share information, but there’d be hope that others are willing to draft guys that’d be detrimental to team goals. Thats to say nothing of whether Shedeur cares of his perception otherwise he wouldn’t be the person with that reputation in the first place.

Any chance Ewers has told certain teams not to draft him?

I realize the timing could be different but Banks technically committed before Ewers.

2025 NFL Draft
Well what insight do you have about that? Its a curious thought considering several weeks ago it was put out there that he played thru a torn oblique. It also would raise several questions about our choices.

Defensive guys maybe getting over drafted whereas offensive guys going on the under. The NFL telling us something?

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Yes, on the deep ball. The grading would take into account accuracy. This year he was less favorable in the intermediate range.
-
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
There’s possibly too much talk about Ewers deep ball precipitating his drop. This past year he’s in the same ballpark on grading and completion percentage as Dart and Shough.

Given what I understand your high school upbringing to be, I find “access merchants” quite amusing.

Not near as many mid to upper 90s fastball guys as were anticipated. And I think LSUs guys like that were transfers. Ruger/Sanders - transfers. Not near as much power either.- 2025 NFL Draft
If you have the right horses relative to your competition, anything can work. And, if you can confuse the opponents D because they see it so infrequently, that can make a difference too. Liberty Hill is an example of this. I’m old enough to have been in a wing T offense then shortly after seen my high school transition to more open offenses. Then seeing the evolution since that time. I have a biased, personal preference of which offense I’d choose. And a key support of that is the number of QBs from Texas that have succeeded at higher levels. Thirty years ago Cam award is likely never heard from beyond high school. Obviously, the reasons run deeper than simply the offense, but that’s one reason.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
The right place at the right time is quite significant. For much of this Longhorn roster that is the case. I’m not sure there’s ever been a time when competition has been higher or profiles have been elevated more at Texas than now. And there are far more coaches that are able to bring you down than lift you to your maximum potential. - 2025 SEC Baseball Thread
