That’s crazy talk. No objective person can look at the now compressed playbook, continuous pocket awareness issues, and missed reads throughout the game and say he played well. Better than last week isn’t well. For me, this lowers your credibility regarding football observations. 
 

I root for all the players. Quinn simply isn’t playing good enough as a 3rd year player in this system.

Coming into the season the question was “can Quinn take the next step and be a playmaker” and the answer right now is no. 

The entire offense right now is Sark manufacturing yards/points and nothing additional from Quinn.

I thought Ewers played much better against Vandy. Stepped up in the pocker better, saw the field better, took some hits to deliver the football, and gave his guys a chance to make a play instead of always checking down.

Was he flawless, no. Did the offense bog down in the 2nd, yes. But quinn did't rack up 108 yards in penalties. Quinn didn't miss blocks that lead to sacks. Imo the reason the offense slowed down in the 2nd half was penalties. 

Clean that up and texas is much more dangerous

Thank God someone in this thread can make a holistic review of yesterday. 
 

if you can’t give a QB more than 1 second to throw the ball, then how is he supposed to make his progressions?

Why are you praising QB play when this was yesterday

27/36 attempts were targeted behind the LOS or 0-9 yards down the field. That’s 75% of all drop backs. Unsurprisingly, his average depth of target for the game was a modest 5.5 yards.

Like it doesn’t take a good QB or good QB play to have that kind of stat line given the above. 
 

Second half yesterday he only had 77 yards, O touchdowns, and 1 interception that was 100% his fault.

Against the 101 ranked pass defense at that. Good defenses will do what Georgia did to Quinn and the offense.  Take away the short throws and get a little pressure or muddy the pocket just a little and he’s completely inept as a QB.

To be fair, all picks are the fault of the qb.

However, both int were due to batted balls, not poor throws or bad reads.

His stat line of 73% completions, 288 yards and three TD is a winning stat line. That's an improvement and a recipe for success.

Maybe the throws were easy, but Quinn doesnt call the plays. Quinn never seemed like he was the problem yesterday. Seemed to me he was a big part of the success outside of the two picks that gave short fields.

All but 77 yards of that stat line was first half. Second half he was really bad and the second half interception was just a complete terrible interception. His inability to adjust once Vanderbilt did almost cost us this game. I don’t know what to tell you if you can’t see that. 

 

Watch the clip. That is 100% bad throw bad decision and 100% on Ewers

Getting “a little bit of pressure” versus having 2 dudes in your face immediately after snapping the ball is completely different. 
 

You could put any QB with incredible pocket prescience but if there is no time to throw the ball because your right side collapses, then you’re screwed because there’s no progression

But a QB who can uses his legs can avoid that kind of pressure easily. Pavia did it all game.

1.) wouldn’t say “easily” considering he was under fire all day and it caused bad throws, including what should have been 3 ints. 

2.) offensive line needs to be much better, full stop. That’s really a non-negotiable 

3.) it wasn’t like Arch continued to escape pressure against Georgia, he got sacked 3 times.

4.) Quinn understands the pocket won’t be perfect every time, but FFS, give him some time.

The loyalty to a guy who is absolutely hampering this team rn is wild. We have no downfield passing game with 3 & other teams are starting to know it. We couldn't even get Vandy to respect it lolol

That play reminds me of the gunner helm TD play in the oklahoma game. This time, Defender got a piece of it and Vandy beat Bolden to the ball. I dont think it was the worst throw but, to your point, anytime you get picked it is a bad decision. Needs to be cleaned up for sure.

I also think the penalties and ineffective run game outside of the 1st drive caused the offense to sputter in the second half.

At then end of the day he needs to get better but i dont think he was a negative on the field yesterday at any point in the game. You do make good points though.

My point is that is absolutely a terrible decision and throw by ewers. No ifs ands or buts about it.

Sark was happy with QE’s game, but what does he know?

[John Moore]

This isn’t scaring anyone

[HookemTexas]

The announcers even said the DBs weren’t worried about anything getting thrown over them so they were sitting on short routes.

let atm DBs do that and it’s gonna be pick city.

I don't hate him. I wish he weren't struggling so. However, I'm a realist. I'm not understanding the fierce loyalty by some. If it's broken, fix it. Any other position would have been replaced by now. 

Only if there is someone better.  There is not at QB.

Actually Vandy was playing a lot of two deep.
