Why isn’t arch manning the Texas starter?

Ewers is hardly any better than he was when they lost to bama by 1 years ago as a freshman. He certainly doesn’t have arch’s mobility. 2 or three times a game Ewers will make a really pretty intermediate deep pass but other than that it’s really easy throws. Feels like that horn offense should light up the scoreboard but playing the worse QB can limit that

Believe it or not, Sark knows more about it than us....

My theory is he either isn't that great, or the Manning's aren't dumb and they know he only needs 1 really good year to be the first pick in the draft so they are waiting until he gets his education while getting developed to a high level before playing that year.

Manning is going to run the same plays sEwers did and make the same throws.

I know but if that offense flops again and somebody like Clemson slips by them….. I honestly think sarks offense is not up to par this year with the talent vs the schedule. Obviously he has done a great job as a head coach overall. But his bama offenses were good lord

Texas is overrated due to a sweetheart schedule, they may lose along the way. They certainly aren't unbeatable.

Arch will have to pull a Tua if they are gonna win a national championship. I do not think they can with Ewers. Just my personal opinion. Really no excuse to lose to Washington last year

They looked slower than Washington last year.

Could happen.
I just don't think the Mannings care about his playing time right now.

It’s complicated
You don’t want to get a reputation for replacing a still successful QB too quickly.
Now that every game is truly do or die, it will be interesting to see how much Arch’s usage increases

I still can't fathom why the frick Arch was on the bench for 99% of the SEC champ game. Especially after watching Georgia all season against mobile QBs. Hell, all the talk before the game was all the "Manning packages" that were ready to go.......then nothing. Not like it was the first game where we got in a huge hole and needed Ewers experience to try and dig us out. Just fricking dumb.

This is not the "Manning way."
He will play in college 4 or 5 years. Just like Archie, Peyton and Eli did.
He will take his time and develop and the Manning plan is for him to start 2 or 3 years in the SEC honing his skills before going to the NFL.
He's taking the job next fall and will start the next 2, perhaps 3 years.
Eli sat behind Romaro Miller until a bowl game where an Miller got hurt and Eli showed out in the second half.
If Ewers gets hurt, Arch is ready.

I don’t think Sark wanted to play the Arch card too early
As big as the SEC CG is, winning in the playoffs is bigger

I don't know. The game has been dumbed down since the others played.

The game where he was injured on the 2nd drive?

The Mannings haven't seemed to have changed much at all from all I have seen.
Arch is being set up to actually succeed. And old school NFL guys know that getting 20+ college starts really helps a QB develop.
Both Eli and Peyton could have left early and been top 5 picks for sure. They both used up all their eligibility. Some things don't change.
Arch will be at UT 4 or 5 years and he will not transfer. It's a Manning thing.

My theory is Ewers was promised 2 years when they told him they were going to get Manning (as long as he's healthy), but that it's Arch's team next year.
But now that Ewers has kinda tanked his draft stock I'm curious if he transfers out to try to get back into 1st,2nd round status or if he declares for the draft (I'm not sure he's fallen out of the 1st or 2nd round, NFL teams see things in QBs that I don't)

My theory is similar but that the coaches told the Mannings that the plan for Arch was to sit for one/two years which is exactly what they planned for Eli (2 years) and Peyton (1 year but TN senior starter got hurt early in his freshman season).
They send them to school on purpose to rs/sit for 1 or 2 years then start for 2+.
Arch is on this same exact program.
Ewers will move out of the way most likely by declaring as he's still considered a 1st day pick right now on the big boards. Also why he isn't being pulled for Arch because that'd hurt Ewers NFL stock. Coaches balancing all this but not next year.....Arch.

I agree with you in general in terms of their priorities.
But if he uses up all his eligibility he would likely leave with a masters. Kids graduate in 3 years now.
And then when it comes to the QB position in the NFL, it's all been dumbed down.
When they did it, it was pretty common for a QB to do those things. Now it's not so common.
