From 1971-2002 not one QB won the award. I heard there were some decent QBs that showed up during that time I think. Thats the facts.

Since 2002 it has been won by QBs 11 times. 4 of the last 6 were won by QBs if you want to pick arbitrary dates, so your point? 
 

you said he would have a better career. Matching those accomplishments are part of a better career and I will bet you $100 right now he never beats either of VYs total yardage or touchdowns.

Wouldn’t Quinn’s being so likely to be a bust make him the exact opposite? As if it were to be expected. What a shitty list to make anyway. Don’t people have better things to do with their time. Oh wait…👀 … what am I doing here? Where is my beautiful wife? 

Quinn gets way more criticism than he deserves. People have a right to speak their thoughts. To speak only the negative attributes & not the positive accomplishments of Quinn Ewers is not a fair assessment of Quinn’s contribution to The Texas Longhorns. Quinn has handled all the negativity with poise & grace . He has represented The University Of Texas well .

Yes... I think Quinn will be a solid backup with an outside chance of developing into a decent starter. If a team takes him first round it's kind of on them. If he goes 3rd or 4th round like he should then that is not a bust. Were Colt McCoy, Simms, or Ehlinger busts? I definitely wouldn't say that for any of them. VY at #3 overall is a bit different.

Right. Said better than I did above. 

It's a little depressing that we're talking about a guy who had round one pick one talk just a couple of years ago, but that's the reality. He's already made a good deal of money. If he can hang around the league for a few years at least he's done ok.
