Comparing this thread to herpes might be the wisest thing that's been posted here

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.

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.

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.

Ewers likely should have stayed in college until he completed a full season healthy, whether that be at Texas or somewhere else. 

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.

The mistake was not leaving after 2023. It would have been better for both him and Texas. 

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.

Or, maybe, just perhaps, Quinn just isn't as good as many Longhorns here seem to think and isn't really NFL material for a variety of reasons.

Classic case of a player getting bad information and declaring for the draft. He could have gotten 1 more payday in the transfer portal and had another season to work on his game. Go be a big fish in a small pond and put up numbers at some G5 school. Best-case, he would have shown more development and impressed scouts to improve his draft stock in 2026 (even if it is supposed to be a deeper class for QBs). Worst-case, he ends up being a Day 3 pick or undrafted in 2026, which is what is happening now anyway.

Will be interesting to see how their trajectories look after Arch has played two years & Quinn's been in the NFL two years. Will we be saying, "holy shit I can't believe Sark got that out of Ewers."

More like what we've been already saying which is, "Holy shit, I can't believe Sark was that committed to such a bad QB when he had a superstar right there he could have used."

It was a tough situation for Sark to be in. He wasn't bailing on his guy, almost no matter what. Even when Ewers was hopping around on one leg in November.

Kind shows you the non sequitur of "star ratings" and future potential.

Star ratings are a pretty amazing predictor of future success. Like 90% of the first round was 4 and 5 stars.

I guess QE proved he's not a good predictor of that future success.

From AI

"Quinn Ewers was a five-star recruit and the top-ranked quarterback in the 2022 recruiting class, according to 247Sports Composite rankings. He also holds a perfect 1.0000 rating from 247Sports, making him one of the highest-rated recruits in history."

He was above average and nothing special. His draft status reflects that.  Was hoping he’d improve as a third year starter.  He didn’t. He regressed.

I think everyone here is well aware of that.

Yes, on the deep ball.  The grading would take into account accuracy.

This year he was less favorable in the intermediate range.

Yeah, we get it. We’ve been talking about it ad nauseum, as you can see.

Give it a fucking rest and move on.

Why does it matter?  Do recruits read this board?  It’s a bunch of guys in their 40s and 50s shooting the shit.  I’m bored at my daughter’s tumbling practice.

Fixed for you.

The 11 players drafted last year and 8 so far this year along with the coaching staff might have played some small part in that ascension back. 

That's not a negative on Quinn, but just like we can't blame all failures on him nor should we attribute all the success.

I hope someone picks him up in the draft or he walks on. I'm glad he was here. I'm glad for what he contributed, but Quinn didn't bring Texas back alone.

So stop responding to it.

The culmination of this debate is coming to big closure in the NFL draft. Immamac doesn't want the conversation in that thread so here is where its happening. 

Stop opening the thread and increasing traction by responding. Reactions to the thread about how it should die are insanely counter productive to your wants.

And... had Quinn been drafted early would you be wanting the same thing?

I think not.

The NFL and their group think never ceases to amaze. Quinn is without a doubt the than better four or five of the QBs already drafted.

The issue isn't how good he is.

I would say the biggest warning sign with QE is that he didn't really improve that much in the time he was here. He became a little more consistent after his first year here, but continued to make a lot of the same mistakes all the way to the end. He was a pretty good, not great college QB on a team with a fuckton  of offensive talent. I'd be pissed if my team drafted QE only because I think we saw the best of what he is capable of already, and it isn't NFL caliber play or leadership. History is littered with those types of guys that had to figure out something else to do with their lives after school. At least todays NIL landscape means he got a shot at making a few million already.

This isn’t complicated. Teams understandably question if he has the physical or mental traits to play QB in the NFL. 

But I can't do quantum physics maths and Occams Razor is too sharp for my regarded brain.

So we had back-to-back playoff runs with a dude who was drafted after Graham Mertz (if he gets drafted at all). Can’t imagine how hard we will dominate with Arch.
