If someone like Sean Payton had gotten ahold of VY I think his NFL career would've gone very differently. Instead he got stuck with a mediocre fucktard as his coach.

VY is with a handful of other QBs whose career might have been significantly different if they came along 10 years later.

The right place at the right time is quite significant.  For much of this Longhorn roster that is the case.  I’m not sure there’s ever been a time when competition has been higher or profiles have been elevated more at Texas than now.

And there are far more coaches that are able to bring you down than lift you to your maximum potential.

So what’s Charlie’s excuse?

I'm not 100% sure of your angle with this question, but I see tons of parallels between Strong and Herman. The biggest one being Teddy Bridgewater making it look like Charlie could coach.

This, NFL then tried to force square pegs into round holes with QBs. There was no offensive creativity.

Team dependent.  The Falcons let Michael Vick do what he did.  Then, he killed some dogs.

He was still running pro style offense, they just let him use his legs when he wanted. They didn't design an offense or tailor an offense to his skills.

Well, the guy ran for 1000 yards one season.  That's a little more than "they just let him use his legs when he wanted".  It was a pretty profound shift in QB style of play.  (And VY wasn't Vick, to be sure.)

OK, that's a bit disingenous.  He was the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and a 2-time Pro Bowl selection.  Jeff Fisher did him no favors.

Exactly. Perhaps VY didn't live up to some expectations as a #3 pick but that doesn't exactly equate to "didn't work out." He went 30-17 in 47 starts. 9000 yards passing, 1400 rushing. Accounted for 58 TDs.  Colt played for double the years but his stats are much lower. Who's to say who had a better NFL career. 

Obviously if the success bar is starting QB super bowl rings, HoF, most passing yards, etc., then few make it to that level.

I don’t think they could have stopped him.

So, Quinn at times was a very frustrating QB for Texas. He definitely didn’t live up to his recruiting ranking. However……

He’s currently projected to be the SEVENTH QB taken. This is stunning to me. I’ve flipped. I’m now declaring that Quinn will be the steal of the entire NFL draft.

I’d pick him over Shadeur any day of the week

The bastard Jeff Fisher fucked VY over and its one of the most complete fuck overs ever.  Living in Nashville I saw it first hand.  Any thing that could make look VY good, Fisher did the opposite.  JF is a mother fucking piece of shit.

i like how chris simms, vince young, colt mccoy, and sam ehlinger have had limited success in the nfl, but quinn fucking ewers, the guy who isn’t good at *anything*, is going to be “the steal of the draft.” you guys are absolutely nuts. completely blinded by the burnt orange, and, his HS rankings from when he was 16. it’s just crazy.

Add Shadeur Sanders too.  “Experts” had him possibly going #1 or in the top 10.  Didn’t really work out for him now did it.

two people in quick succession. but don’t let that stop you from doing your whole “righteous indignation” thing that you do so well.

you know that moment where you go apoplectic at the very site of every post i make? you should take a five minute break after that from now on. save yourself from the incessant raging/being completely wrong on every subject due to your overly emotional state and blinding rage. woo sah.

You clearly have no concept of what "apoplectic" means.  Settle down, Nancy.  I'm sorry I missed one.  "Two guys".  Good enough?  Is that an indictment of all your virtual enemies you underdeveloped manchild?

I hope you get the help that you clearly need.  You have been on a manic bender for a couple of weeks now, and we all see it.  I feel badly that you suffer this way, but this is not the arena you should be playing in.

I think most people, even Ewers supporters, think he’d be a quality backup at best. I don’t see anyone thinking he’ll be playing significantly. 

It's pretty clear he'll never be a "wow" starter, whether that's in the Mahomes mold or the Brady mold.  I think he might suffice in a system that only asks him to manage the game.  People talk about his arm, and honestly, I think that's the least of his problems.  It's a pretty effective arm even for most pro throws.  I think his inability to navigate in and out of the pocket along with his crazy tendency to get hurt will kill his long-term chances at the next level.  But hey, I'm just a fanboi.

Well, I’d like to say his risk of getting hurt is a knock against him and then Shough gets drafted in round 2…so yeah.

Shough actually played a full year healthy this past season which shot him up the draft since now GMs know he can stay healthy. Ewers still hasn’t been able to play a full season due to health issues since his sophomore year in high school, and GMs don’t want to pay a guy who will be on injured reserve a good chunk of the season. Ewers likely should have stayed in college until he completed a full season healthy, whether that be at Texas or somewhere else.

In retrospect, he should have left last season so he didn't put up another season of injury play...

I believe injury is why he'll go late. He has too much arm talent. Some team with a decent OL will grab him as a backup.

Good grief, not only are your sarcasm meters broken, I’m thinking they were never installed. You are so wound up over your argument you didn’t even notice the post was sarcastic.

One of the two is a permanent disease with sexual implications that can cause infuriating symptoms and can be very hard to explain. The other is caused by Alphaherpesvirinae.

Injury history plus those moon balls with the potential to get his receivers killed is why he’s sliding.

This. Ewers shouldve gone the Carson Beck route. But then he wouldve probably gotten injured again. Hopefully he gets picked up in the 4th round as a project and gets to put on some weight for a few years and learn the ropes behind a good QB.

all that staying in college would have done is cemented the fact that QE is a mediocre college qb, especially considering that he’d be directly compared to arch manning every week. and considering his injury history, the odds of him staying healthy weren’t great anyway. going somewhere else that where he isn’t surrounded by the insane talent he had here would only expose all of his obvious flaws even more. if he’s dropped this far after being in the best situation of any qb in america the last two years, he might have dropped out of the draft completely with another underwhelming year in college.

Agreed. Hindsight is 20/20. I wouldve never though he wouldve regressed from 2023 to 2024. That was the shocker.

Quinn has just gotten very unlucky. 6 were taken in the first round last year, and 11 overall. There just happened to be a surge of talent. And what’s worse, coming out this year instead didn’t help because now all those teams from last year have a first year draft QB on their roster and as a result don’t want to draft another. 

There’s no good answer for what Quinn should have done, other than not get hurt so much and learn how to throw the deep ball better. Those two things are killing his draft potential.

There’s possibly too much talk about Ewers deep ball precipitating his drop.

This past year he’s in the same ballpark on grading and completion percentage as Dart and Shough.
