Texas QB’s With Killer Instincts With Games On The Line (2025)

Vince young had the killer instinct. Colt McCoy had a killer instinct. Ellinger had a killer instinct. How does Quinn Ewers compare to them? Asking cause I’ve been an ardent Quinn Supporter, but damn am I missing something? How does the offense respond to him when the pressure is on? How does he respond? I just don’t think he’s been the same mentally since his initial injury. I think he was mentally tougher last year. But that’s just my opinion.

Absolutely agree. He continues to play well for 50% of the game, good enough for 40%, and has 3-4 really awful plays just about every game. Even his best statistical game vs Florida, he threw one right to a LB early on that was dropped. He’s definitely got the talent and he is extremely smart, but he has got to clean up the mistakes he continues to make

Guy has the killer instinct of a pink
Unicorn.

Oh, just give Quinn a break, guys. Yes he is more mistake prone lately, but give the guy credit for his calm nerves. Withstanding that first quarter was where we needed him. The dude has time and again done it at true road games. 11 true road wins in a row at some tough venues like Bama, Mich, Arky, aggy etc. The dude is a winner and has killer nerves if not killer instinct. Just enjoy his last few games with us, and stop worrying about him, please!

QE is to Texas 2024 football what Greg McElroy was to Bama 2009. Hopefully we end up at the same place as Bama did in 09. QE made enough plays to win and that’s all that matters. Elite defense on display today.

Ewers played great in the first half. Made some beautiful deep passes and made some plays with his feet.
Overall he played pretty well. The turnovers he makes would be back breakers on most teams, but our defense bails him out most of the time.
A great quarterback would win the Heisman with all of the talent around him.
For all of his flaws, he still may be good enough to get it done.

He still has half the INT'S colt had as a senior lol

You guys are ******** clowns..... You probably said the same ***** about VY and Colt when they struggled and will be saying the same tired ***** about the next starting QB when he struggles.

What qualifies you to make an assessment? Your time as a peewee QB or coaching your kid at the YMCA.

We are nitpicking the guy for sure…what matters most is wins. He has had that in spades the last two and a half seasons…
Most at Texas since Colt and VY.
For sure he has under performed statistically his potential but I’ll take him all day every day compare to what we have had since 09…

Quinn will come through. He will put it all together come SEC championship time and playoffs. His career depends on it.

QE is a baller, a winner, and a team player! He may not put up crazy stats, but willing to do whatever it takes to get the W. That's all that matter. Thanks QE for leading us to back to CFP, instead of invitation to the Alamo Bowls.

“Killer instinct” - one of those made up sports terms by people who likely never played sports.
Quinn is calm under pressure and played better on one leg than 90% of the quarterbacks in the country.
If Sark believes in him, that’s enough for me because I’m 100% sure Sark knows more about QB play - and wants to win more - than any keyboard coaches who believe Quinn’s performance is never good enough.
For a second consecutive year, he’s leading his team to play in a conference championship and then the playoffs.
Sounds cool to me.

Quinn was great on Saturday. I rewatched it and his throwing ability in the first half was the difference in the game. Yeah, it sucks the defensive player got a finger on the ball and tipped pass led to an INT, yes it sucks he slid a split second too late while trying to make a play and got striped from behind, but he's a baller. We are lucky to have him. You may not think he has a killer instinct which is fine but he's been in a lot of tight games this season, in the fourth quarter and they haven't lost one yet (minus UGA of course) so something is going right.
