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.

see y’all say stuff like this with a straight face and then act like the people who don’t think he’s going to make it are just fucking insane. there is nobody outside of the UT fanbase who is even half as optimistic about QE as y’all are. it’s 100% blind homerism.

One guy said it.  One.  Please list everyone who has said "Quinn Ewers will be the steal of the draft".  We'll wait.

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.

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.

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.

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.

On deep balls?

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.
