Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins

outside of Florida down the stretch of the season I've seen a starting QB be bad in the second half of games so much so the coach literally took the ball out of his hands to run clock. You can contrive some romanticism shit about Sark just inserting dominance or whatever the fuck you want, but reality is Quinn isn't good in the second half. 

 

Numbers don't lie

Haven’t we already pointed out that these games were so lopsided we weren’t trying to score?

Is this sarcasm?

I showed you a player decommitting due to social media. You then demanded the argument should change to a random person on twitter and not a coach is YOUR creation.

Come on man. You know there’s a difference between you and me going on Twitter and talking shit as opposed to a coach doing it. Obviously, to anyone with a couple of brain cells, the coach’s voice will carry more weight.

Yea it does. It doesn’t hurt my argument and only proves it.

#DEVELOPING: Michigan State willing to pay upwards of $4 million for Texas QB Quinn Ewers. Ewers intends to declare for the NFL draft, however several NFL scouts reportedly have Ewers outside of their Top-4 QBs, leaving a #transfer possible. Decisions to be made. #NCAA #MSU

I think it's a bit of both. His ceiling is higher, but he has to get out of his head or whatever is holding him back to reach that potential to go on a run. Maybe beating Clemson opens him up. But if not, we'll be relying on our D once again. At least it's legit..

Another thing, we have small RB's, so running between the tackles will be difficult, but not impossible. Quinn needs to stop leaning on his first read and find the field. Too many open WR's and he's missing them. 
 

You're also right- No one hates Quinn, they just get frustrated with his play, or lack thereof; I wish he would be a leader, but he is what he is. 

 

I don't think I would be as frustrated as I am if the hype surrounding him hadn't been as high as it was.

Texas is ranked 106th in red zone scoring percentage. Who does that fall on?

Which is somehow still an improvement over last year. Hey maybe in the redzone where the field shrinks and windows are tighter, we should use another QB on our roster that performs better in those situations. Our redzone scoring % was actually good the first half of the season, and a big part of that was Arch started 2 of those games and played the majority of another one.

80% coaching / bad game planning

It should be noted that Mack Brown knows the Belichick has $12meg available and errybody else knows Quinn is the closest thing we've seen to Tom Brady.

This is fantastic. I laughed and then actually checked Twitter just to make sure it wasn’t real. 

#20074

This pretty much sums up my thoughts on Ewers. The advanced metrics back it up. 

Hasn't been able to generate a single positive qbeffect season Bet yall the leak is agent driven and the 4m doesn't exist https://t.co/h2Sek34M3h
Texas is a defnse driven team with top 5 offensive talent and a top 5 OC. His numbers should be otherworldly cheat code level

Does he have those numbers anywhere?

I'm sure he does if you ask him.

But his point is 100% right. We have a top 5 OC (based on past data) and top-5 offensive talent based on recruiting rankings. There is no reason that Ewers shouldn't be putting up "otherworldly cheat code level" numbers. 

#20077

It's super convenient how when Maalik Murphy is his backup, he is very cautious about playing through an injury and willing to miss conference games. But when Arch Manning is his backup, suddenly he is Mr. Ironman and willing to trudge through all sorts of injury.

#20078

Sark's "don't turn the ball over" offensive strategy with Quinn has generally failed. Needs to become the "go score lots of TDs" strategy starting...now.

Probably has more to do with the fact that he needs to prove he can fight through injuries and actually be available to play to the NFL.

Lmao.  bet it’s a leak from his agent >>>> NFLRookieWatxh is full of shit

You're right but I think that's his bigger point.

It's either a leak from his agent or that NFLRookieWatxh is completely full of shit because nobody is paying Ewers $4 million based on what he's done in college.

I'm pretty sure the $500M they paid out over the Larry Nassar debacle drained the coffers.

If Sark couldn't maximize Quinn's potential, there aren't many other coaches who can. Maybe kiffin or Riley? Why would any school risk millions for someone who couldn't live up to his expectation at Texas surrounded by NFL talent? I don't think he will get more than what he got this year. He is not considered a top QB any more.

#20091

Exactly. Quinn couldn't possibly find a better situation for a 1 year mercenary stint. He'll take his chances in the draft. Going pro is the better gamble. If he tries to play another year in college he could hurt his draft stock even more.

#20092

Low end signing bonus in the 1st round is ~ $5M-$6M.  A $4M college deal (if available) wouldn't suck, because few people think he's a Day 1 player any more.  I don't know at what point in the 2nd round the signing bonuses drop below $4M, and of course there is the guaranteed component of the rest of an NFL contract, but a transfer for good NIL money might not be the worst idea.  I just don't think he'll match whatever NFL money he can actually make.  Plus, injury risk.  

If he doesn't implode in the playoffs, go pro, dude.  Take what you get.

#20093

Maybe he will just decide his best option is to continue playing here another year and get better to enhance his value for the NFL.

I don’t think that is an option for him.

Take this thought to the next step, and what else it would mean.

1) It's pretty clear that Texas is moving on to Manning next year. 

2) Ewers is going to want $. Like mentioned above, Ewers isn't worth what he's going to want.
