*****GAME THREAD: #1 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Texas Longhorns*****

The last paragraph shows your total lack of understanding of quarterback play and football.
It shows I do understand it, just disagree with the style due to turnover probability in College especially. Very seldom can you do that on long plays, too much can happen while that ball is in the air. Your man needs to beat somebody, that's why they call them reads.

 
We can agree to disagree on this. Card is a future Buchelle or Garrett or Simms of a guy. He was perfectly capable of being a dual threat as we saw Saturday. That's not what Sark is looking for, he wants the QB when asked to pass 1st, and not scramble across the line of scrimmage without looking again for options, and then get a 1st down (which Card did twice and Quinn has yet to do). There is also a mis- conception about Quinn's long range ability. His long is 46 and Worthy had to make a huge adjustment to snag it. Card's long is 42 and he laid it perfect on the outside to Dijon, who had turned to the inside and made a great catch spinning back around. That's it for this team, 2 long shots landed. The middle and short game were mostly chip shots for both. The plays called were not the same, and that's on Sark, and likely cost us the game.

 I'm not saying Quinn isn't special, but I think they both are. My fear is Quinn will be an int. machine since he makes quick releases before the receiver is ever open, hoping to throw them open. 
How about this, Quinn is clearly the better QB, especially for Sark's scheme. It is clear he is the better thrower of the ball and processes the game better than Card.

Card is a good QB, has to be one of the best backups in CFB and would be a starter for a lot of other teams. He has happy feet in the pocket.

You downgrade Quinn's deep ball to Worthy - laughable. It was a beautiful ball. You also fail to mention the perfectly thrown deep ball that Worthy dropped. And then you praise a pass by Card that made the RB jump and spin around to catch it? 

Anyone with a reasonable knowledge of the game who watches the games would conclude Quinn>Card.

BS. A read is understanding the coverage each receiver has so you know where the receiver is going because there is a route chart depending on coverage. Reading a defense is understanding which receiver is getting the coverage on both levels you want. If you’re slow to understand you get sacked.  Or throw into double coverage. Or lose where a safety is playing. You have to process quick and be decisive.

Most of what you described is done pre snap.

You reminded me, of Worthy's TD catch ruled out of bounds. The TV had a terrible view, and as a scoring play it should have been reviewed. 8 seconds when the play started, 3 when it was over, and everyone saying it took too long. Throw it too soon and it's a pik 6. I saw people signaling TD, but it could also have been PI rather than no foot down. Add that one to the list of Zebra thefts.

There was some good points made on this page..

1 Ewers is best QB for Sarks scheme.

2 Sarkdoes not want a dual threat QB.

3 Card is best back up QB.

4UTSA will be very important game on how team plays. My thought.

5 Two droped passes in end zone could have won game.

idk my friend, it appears that ewers is pretty dadgum accurate. he reminds me of dillon gabriel honestly. not the quickest movement, but live arm that can place it where he wants, and runs well when needed. both have collarbone issues. Even one more qtr with quinn at qb and texas wins that game by 2 scores easy. gonna be one hell of a rrs.

Completion % 69 vs 66. Played patsy LAMon for 3 quarters. A bunch of easy throws. Nothing definitive. The jury is still out on all of them.

he looked like a pro vs bama though. its hard to judge a season by one game, but you can definitely see improvement for sure. its weird being a sooner fan here giving credit where its due. I for one am excited to see texas's climb back, other sooner fans not so much. Those down years it seemed like the rrs lost some of its luster, with the fans and national media. I cant wait for more epic shootouts and defensive battles of the past.

There was never supposed to be a QB debate, injuries change all that. Most assume as soon as Quinn can suit up it's his team without debate. 1 qtr. looked good, the other 3 Quinn didn't. He left the game with 3 points on the board in spite of the yardage. We sucked in red zone all day. 

The hype for the RRS may have been less, but some of the all time best games have been played recently. 

Meanwhile, back to our regular program.

Touchdown Jesus.

Against LAMon, Ewers was in for 7 possessions. Those possessions resulted in 1 int, 1 missed FG, 4 td's, and 1 made FG. After the opening interception, the next 6 possession resulted in 32 plays for 304 yards.

There is no QB debate. If healthy, it's Quinn's team.

Worthy should have caught that pass that he bobbled in the end zone. Right, it's Ewer's fault that we only had 3 points when he left.

Right again, his stats really weren't all that impressive when he was on the sideline. Don't understand why everyone can't see it that way. ?
