Thank u Cj cause these comments trying to make it seem like quin isn’t gonna make a nfl team next year or when ever he does go 

Who cares if he gets drafted 1st or 7th round. He needs to play well now. He needs to show up now for his team.

The same reason it mattered that sark had zero drafted his first and the same reason it mattered that he had 11 drafted last year

Really depends on which quarterback would be playing then tbh. Right now I don't think any of us know for sure on that, as crazy as that seems. Not hating, but that leash gets shorter by the day seemingly. I don't care, just want whoever gives us the best chance period. Great read though for sure👍

People should note that Arch's PFF rating was lower than Quinn's.

On the season Arch PFF rating is ahead which is the larger sample size. 

My comment was addressing the Georgia game in particular, in case some missed it.  Arch has great ability but favors the hero throw into coverage over the short or intermediate throw to the open receiver.

At least Arch can complete the hero throw. The hero throw is how you beat a Georgia. Not being a check down merchant. 
 

look at the thread I posted about Quinn beyond 4 5 yards this season Quinn is average at best and deep he’s flat out bad

Hero throws into coverage is not how most victories are attained.  Taking the open receiver underneath is the much better bet to advance the ball.  Just fundamental here.

Understandable. But the more I think about it, the more I get the feeling that Sark is the one who didn’t have his team ready, who didn’t show up, who didn’t alter his game plan, and who made questionable decisions. 
 

I love Sark, but he stubbed his toe Saturday. 

I disagree with this only because there were guys open multiple times in the first and second halves and 3 (& 16 once) either didn't see them at all, or he didn't pull the trigger. I just find it hard to put too much blame on Sark when we got such bad QB play. Yes the OL wasn't great, but I still think qb play exacerbated that to a big degree.

Quinn Ewers is still a very good quarterback. The overreaction to the UGA game is insane.

Is it? This has been two weeks in a row that Quinn has had really bad feet and really bad eyes, the regression from a third year starter has to be concerning. If he's hurt that bad, why on earth is he playing?

Out of curiosity, what adjustments were there for Texas to make offensively that Sarkisian did not make?

I think we need Blue out there more. I love Tre’s physically but with how fast Georgia is, blue needs to be the primary back. May need to go more 12 but keep more help in if Ewers won’t move in the pocket

We don't know how injured he is right now. Quinn Ewers has struggled and this game will be key 🔑 if he will break out of his funk.

What I'm saying is, if he is injured, as some people have suggested, why is he on the field? He's actively hurting this team by not being able to push the ball downfield and having poor eyes and poor feet. I don't actually think he's that hurt, I just think he either doesn't have the confidence to make those throws any more, or maybe he just can't drive the ball down the field well. Every throw that travels further than 15-20 yards is a moon shot with zero pace on it. It's really easy to defend when you don't have to worry about getting beat deep.

Agree!!  Look how many great QBs Bill Belichick made look awful. UGA is damn good defensively up front especially on Saturday. They created so much havoc there in the last quarter and a half of the first half there was probably not much adjustment we could reasonably make to counter them. They were better Saturday, it’s ok. There’s a reason they’ve only lost 3 regular season games in the last 4 years. They’re damn good and very well coached. We did underestimate them to some degree imo. Kirby did a great job getting them angry and feeling disrespected to come out playing fierce. You add in our complete lack of execution on offense with early turnovers it fed into what we got.

There is looking bad(Beck for this game) then there is complete breakdown of mechanics(Quinn OU/UGA). As bad as Beck played vs us he looked better than Quinn

Did he though?

Beck was horrible. A quarter of his yards came on a double reverse flea flicker – He had 41 pass attempts.

Whatever, we have to play tempo when it gets to third down or just not changing personnel. So stick with two tight end sets, we can’t substitute because it allows Georgia to bring in their elite pass rushers.
 

Whenever they got to third down, they made sure to go tempo to prevent us from substituting.

Of course there are always tweaks to be made, but there seems to always be this simplistic message board belief that win= you made adjustments! Lose= you didn’t make adjustments!

I wish beating Georgia was that easy. I do think Texas found a little something in the second half running the ball (Wisner had 6 rushes the first two drives out of halftime for 26 yards), but the game script got away and forced Texas to continue to have to go to the air.

Normally I would agree, one game is a reaction, but this is a two game stretch where Quinn’s looked bad.

I would disagree. Beck has looked bad for several games especially with interceptions. Yes he helped bring them back against Bama but he has been turning the ball over waaaay more than or QBs. His numbers were worse than Quinn’s Saturday with WAY better protection. I’ll agree that some of those were bad drops by his guys on about 5 throws but those INTs and other misses were bad mechanics too.

Beck has looked bad, yes.

 

Quinn has looked inept vs Oklahoma and Georgia....

 

Beck still has mechanics and navigates the pocket. Beck had 5 balls dropped that should have been easy catches. That will make you look worse  as well. If it weren't for a Ryan Williams insane catch and run Georgia is undefeated and Beck has a 28pt comback win.

Quinn looked bad against Georgia and played a bad quarter against OU. Inept is not what I would use to describe his play. Similarly to Texas on Saturday the Bana game you’re describing and the deficit the faced was a direct result of Beck’s poor play. Even Williams’ insane catch and run only gave bama the lead. The game wasn’t decided until Beck’s int in the end zone to seal the win for Bama. Beck in 2 more games had only 4 more tds but 4 more INTs than Quinn. Quinn has played much worse than we expect the last two weeks but it he’s not inept nor is Beck the reason Georgia is winning. Speaking of drops Tre Wisner doesn’t drop that ball after Makuba’s int and we score might be a different ball game. Beck may move better in the pocket at times but his footwork broke down Saturday under less duress than Quinn was under. If Quinn’s inept performance resulted in a 31 point win versus a “bad” performance resulting in a td loss I’ll still take Quinn because I don’t believe he’ll stay in this funk for long. We believed in Quinn for a long time and need to support him even more now. If he reaches his potential this year it’s our best chance to win a national title. Again just one guy’s opinion. Arch is GREAT, but I don’t think it’s fair to him to expect greater results than we get with Quinn given their experience. Arch’s ceiling is higher, make not mistake, but we need Quinn this year.
