Thank You Quinn

[tsip92]

The guy got us to the CFP twice and was twice one play away from the National Championship game.  Longhorn legend.

He took a lot of flack, but we could use his consistency on the short throws so far this season.

Quinn was absolutely underappreciated. I’m guilty too.

Amen, thanks for posting…interesting to see if we got honest takes from @Gerry Hamiltonand team as Arch should be much more developed. Definitely AlOT of flaws in his passing ability

He’s played two games. Need more games to see what Texas has in Arch.

Did he die or something today?

Crazy now people want to thank quinn after trashing him for years crowning arch as some savior. 

[chennups]

Under appreciation? From you?

[Red Five]

I guess I'm confused, because unless this is just completely random, it feels like a "Wow, we sure do miss Quinn!" thread, on a day when our quarterback scored five TDs.

Sure but safe to say expectations were a bit more, not even talking high

He probably would have hit a few more passes today and may have seen the open intermediate crosser Arch keeps missing on some of his deep shots. He also would have been sacked about 5 times by SJSU.

I dont think its that. It's how efficient and lethal Quinn was in the areas Arch is struggling in right now. Quinn did get alot of some unnecessary hate last year, and I think they're apologizing for it

I wear that 3 jersey with pride lol. Almost had to fight my daughter for trying to sneak it to school for jersey day

I defended Quinn always, and the only thing that I think people need to do is realize that Arch wasn’t going to take us any further the last two years than QE did.  However, Arch is young, and I think he will get better.  It would help him (the team) if we could run better and if another receiver would step up, but there is time for another WR to step.  Well 2 more cupcakes before Florida and Dirt Robbers.

Unrealistic and unfair expectations for Arch. People expected him to win the Heisman, lead the Longhorns to the National Championship, then go #1 overall to the Saints next year and be Drew Brees 2.0. 

 

Fact is Arch is a very talented kid on a very talented team that will win most of their games, but struggle because they are young. Arch is no exception to that. He looked better than he did last year, and will probably look better next week than he did this week. Its the pattern. He is going to be a completely different quarterback in two months. 

 

Regarding Quinn, absolutely under-appreciated. The Horns don't ascend to where they are now without him. You could make the argument that with Cedric Baxter last year (or perhaps Jonathan Brooks the year before), they could have gone all the way. Additionally, look at the redzone issues that have plagued this team for years. Can't blame those all on Quinn when we saw the exact same stuff last week. 

 

Quinn is the first big recruit I ever followed and has a very special place in my Longhorn fandom.

This is absolutely true. I think the argument, if there is one, is that playing Arch last year could have been a net wash, meaning you don't win any more games or lose any more games because of him, and he is better prepared coming into this season. I get why people make this argument, I don't agree with it, but I get it.
