From a financial standpoint doesn't it make more sense for him to enter the portal and make a couple million playing another year of college football ( like Beck)?


Depends. You run the risk of injury which has already been an issue.

Look how open the wr on the 2nd play is. In the NFL that is a much tighter window and if thrown easily picked. Ewers isn't an NFL QB, although, Some grow up once in the NFL. I just don't see that with Ewers.

Trying to use Throws on air against Florida as a reason he can play in the NFL is legitimately wild. Same secondary that made A&M think Wiegman’s backup was a Heisman candidate.

It's much easier to stop the run when you don't have to account for QB

Simple math: 11 on 10

It’s funny, you’re trying to say the throws aren’t “good” because the Gator secondary is bad.

You’re doing the exact opposite of that. Because he torched the Gator secondary and didn’t have to make amazing throws to score, somehow that should work against him.

You have to have a dual threat QB to have a successful run game? Wow this is a new development.

That’s not how it works. It’s not using it against him, it’s those throws aren’t available in the NFL so using them as an argument for the NFL is grounds for disappointment. You have to make NFL throws.

5:20 the ball is behind him and there is 4 yards of separation from the DB.
9:15 3 yards of separation and a good throw, a throw any QB in the SEC would and did make this year against UF. Lmao

It’s Quinn’s fault Florida can’t cover lol

Maybe you don’t see a “NFL throw” by your standards in that game, was because he didn’t need to throw one against that terrible secondary.

Or option B, your completely wrong about Quinn and he will get a shot in the nfl and is an above average qb.

Ewers is no All American but I think the shtick from Texas’ fans is to justify the fact they believed all year they had a national championship team and they really didn’t.

Ewers is the scape goat when you ran for about 30 yards a game in all 3 losses and barely ran for 50 yards against Arizona State. Your offensive line sucked against every team with a pulse, and you didn’t play that many teams with a pulse. You had a good, not great team and want to pretend Ewers is this incompetent armless QB who totally fricked your season when he was decent but just not an All American. That’s it.

This right here.

It makes me wonder what those same fans will say if Arch has growing pains. Granted, Arch doesn’t have another “Manning” behind him, but his expectations are through the roof. If he falls short of anything but amazing, I expect to see the pitch forks out again.

So you’re banking on him being a system QB that needs throws schemed up for him? Purdy was the last pick in the draft maybe Quinn can be too.

You said “guys dont get that open in the NFL”
I provided an example of them getting that open frequently.

I disagree. To be an NFL starting QB doesn't require the elite physical abilities and football IQ that it once did.

I almost wonder if his persistent layering isn't due to the scheme and route designs(e.g. attacking areas over the LB's and in front of safeties) which require arcing the ball over where LB's play zone. The offense has a lot of similarities with San Francisco's and you see Purdy make a lot of the same high launch angle, lower velocity type throws
