April 15, 20232 yr I wonder what would happen if Sark... "Let Malik be Malik." He thew far and away the best deep balls today. And the deep balls are to get DB's on their heels a hair. Throw in the size and speed of Murphy as a way to break good coverage with a scramble? Who would scare you more if you were on defense, Quinn or Malik? Not trying to talk down Quinn just amazed at Murphy's performance and potential to change games with his feet and cannon of an arm.I have a dream that one day my children will live in a world where fans don’t erroneously attribute dual threat ability to certain QB’s for a reason I can’t quite put a finger on…
April 15, 20232 yr Dude has a cannon but he’s not a real D1 QB. He could maybe tear up the FCS but he shouldn’t be taking practice reps away from Arch.

April 15, 20232 yr I don't think Maalik should starts right now but I really hope he sticks around and is a viable option to push Ewers. I think Ewers needs that threat to elevate his game. Arch isn't that yet and we need to not worry about him seeing the field for another season.
April 15, 20232 yr Having three really talented QB’s is a good problem to have. I think Maalik stays around for this season, but all three will not be on the roster next season and I doubt it’s because someone gets drafted. Edited April 15, 20232 yr by Hook1997

Because the NFL doesn't take a chance and draft QB's based on pro potential more than anything else? Gtfo with that and pay attention to the draft in a couple weeks..

Either way, you’re making the decision on paper based on recruiting rankings and NIL... I mean I get it, it just sucks. I hope he stays 1 more season.
April 16, 20232 yr Shit. I could’ve sworn he’d been on the team for years and years. Well I just don’t think he’s good enough to play at the FBS level.

April 16, 20232 yr Didnt Maalik get ranked 2nd in the elite 11 QB camp behind Klubnick but ahead of Ewers? This isnt some unknown Colt McCoy-like situation. The dude would probably be battling for a starting job at a lot of other schools this year. Hell, he might end up in the mix here if Quinn doesnt improve from last year. I was looking at his recruiting profile on 24/7 just to see who else offered, and he held offers from almost all of the big boys. I also noticed the HUDL highlights that start playing. The very first pass looks familiar. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/10128842/61bae668ff025805704fae54

April 16, 20232 yr I didn't see the game. That video above is stunning. I'd love to see him develop into our starter. It's such a great story. But...may the best man win.
April 16, 20232 yr It’s just a few drives from a spring game, but he was nearly perfect. There were some drops as well. Sark had him handing off a lot. He may not be our best QB but he sure as hell was yesterday.
April 16, 20232 yr Their record was a state title is it difficult being this retarded?Serious question, didn’t he miss some time his senior year with an injury? Or did he play through it and rehab it after the season?

April 16, 20232 yr I liked that Murphy seemed to know what the defense was going to give him pre snap and immediately took it even if it was just a dump off. Also his deep balls were the best we’ve seen in quite some time. I’m not going to clamor for him to be QB1 yet, but Ewers leash should be a lot shorter than it was last year.
April 16, 20232 yr Looking forward to watching him fuck up Alabama if/when they cheapshot Quinn, assuming he doesn't take the job in the summer.
April 16, 20232 yr 20 hours ago, Catdaddyhorn said: Speed!?!?!?!? For a QB coming out of the backfield at 6'5" 235 lbs I think he has decent speed from the movement we saw today when he is apparently healthy. I think he would have enough "speed" to make plenty of 1st downs in what might otherwise be a coverage sack. How fast do you need a QB who can scare the fuck out of DB's with his deep ball to cover 8-10 yards and make a 1st down with half the defense 20 yards downfield? I would say unequivocally fast enough. 😉

He made the right reads but I'd argue wasn't the same circumstances Agree. back to back plays targeting a walk on is a prime example. Not to mention you don’t have the full field view, so you have no idea if the dump off is the right throw.
April 16, 20232 yr Maalik did what he was supposed to do. You guys can continue to play whatever mental gymnastics y’all want on why he looked better than the other QBs.
April 17, 20232 yr Can't we all just be friends... 😉 Look I revived this thread is that if you watched the scrimmage you had to at least contemplate that the kids might be the real deal after a couple years with Sark, and HOPEFULLY being and staying healthy. The fucking film tells you that. Now is that enough to push Quinn out of the role of starter? If the starting game was tomorrow, no way. But the one thing about college football is shit happens. And right now you have to feel a lot better about our prospects should "shit happen." But can Maalik TAKE the job away from Quinn? Right now I don't think so. And I think that's fine. But I also think right now that if this kid is actually truly healthy and this is the first time we have seen him healthy? And actually watched the scrimmage objectively? I would not be surprised to see this kid take advantage of an opportunity when it arises. And yeah, I think he is potentially a lot more formidable in scheming defensively against, than Ewers because of his size scrambling. But he is also unproven under the big lights. Not saying kick Quinn to the curb or anything like that. But if you don't think this kid is capable of leading this team after Saturday, I would say you weren't really paying attention. Glad he is here, showing a high level of capability, and clearly pushing Quinn. I personally was impressed, that's why I bumped the thread. Edited April 17, 20232 yr by horn4life
April 17, 20232 yr Let's not forget that Quinn has some injury history. I can't say he's injury prone. But in addition to missing a few games last season, he also missed some time in high school with a sports hernia. There's certainly a chance he could miss a game here or there, which would give Maalik and excellent opportunity to show us what he can do outside the confines of a Spring game.
April 17, 20232 yr One thing the spring game might have done, at least in many fans' eyes, is to cool the jets on the idea that "Arch will at worst be the No. 2 QB as soon as he steps on campus." I think that helps Arch this season and beyond.
April 17, 20232 yr murphy was fantastic, as was mitchell. excited about both of these guys. moore needs to work on the hands. cook is fast. was encouraged by run defense from dline and not horrible on pass rush either. i think lbs are going be better than they have been in a while.
April 17, 20232 yr 10 hours ago, Michael Knight said: Maalik won't transfer until next year if he can't beat out Arch Yep. I'm under the impression Quinn is bailing regardless. Loser of next year's battle is leaving
April 17, 20232 yr The only season out of the last 10 where Texas hasn't needed the help of a backup QB during significant games was 2019 where Sam played every game. Maalik being a dude is going to be important.

It would be nice to back the secondary off this year.
April 17, 20232 yr Looking at that HUDL you see how effortlessly he tosses the deep ball. I think the fact he doesn't need to give it 90+ percent effort to get the ball deep helps him control the air underneath the passes more consistently. At 2:34 he jakes a couple of scrambles. Not fast like a gazelle, but serviceable speed able to get first downs if necessary physically. Again Glad he's here!
