The highest rated QB in the history of recruiting rankings should be able to start day 1 unless he’s behind a Newton, Burrow, Tebow, Manziel etc.
Ewers isn’t at that level, and if he can’t start over Ewers he’s not the best recruit of all time. Fwiw I don’t even think he was in the Top 5 QB recruits in his own class. I don’t think he’s bad by any means, just not what the recruiting services made him out to be by a long shot.

I haven't been following this closely, but it kinda sounds a lot like the Walker Howard situation with LSU.
Big splash on the recruiting front, probably helped contribute to getting some other guys too. Then you see everyone on the practice field, and you realize the kid doesn't match the hype. In Howard's case, we knew he wasn't going to beat out Daniels, who was an established starter at the P5 level with freakish athleticism. The eye-opener was that he was never going to challenge Nussmeier, a guy with a good arm that didn't really move the needle as a recruit.
I guess Manning might be the same thing. Makes headlines for recruiting because "name", but you might never see the dude start or play.

quote:Then why do you continually call him the "best recruit of all time"?

quote:Good point. Every recruiting service that ranks a QB high expects them to throw for 400 yards in their first spring game that occurs 1 month before their high school prom.

It's almost as if you believe what you just typed
