Was he laid out during that throw and still delivered a near perfect pass? The throw to Worthy was a poor throw that Worthy made a great adjustment to catch. Ewers absolutely can not throw back side posts to save his life. Just like the 1st drive on Saturday, Ewers threw the ball over the right shoulder of Golden, who was breaking open on the post route. It's incredible just how poor he is at throwing that pass considering it's a staple of the Sarkisian offense.

Hahahaha I’m sure that was the sentiment on here when it happened. True he hasn’t thrown anything close to that down field since. This whole board was convinced he was the one during those couple drives.

I see the sky is falling again.....awesome. Pussies.

Look, the coach appears to be set on Quinn. So that's done.

Yeah, Quinn hasn't lived up to his hype. But he's not trash by any means. 

Just hope for the best.

I swear some of y'all can't really remember stuff and it really feels like a lot of you don't watch a lot of football and rewind and Rewatch and watch on slo mo and look at what happened. Just watch once in real time and highlights. 

I probably went off the rails a bit but not sure what you mean here.

My point was that we had QB issues.  But also concern that had Sam returned Sark would have tampered his running, which would have limited him.  But I think he kicks ass anyway because he’s a competitor.

Ive watched roughly half the games in the past 25 years live then a majority again.  Don’t recall missing a single game over that time.  Probably played a shit ton more than most on here growing up.  But hey who cares.  Certainly didn’t mess my drawers against those mighty Marlin Bulldogs like some here did.

Ok man. Owned. Lulz. He fucking sucks at throwing over the middle and we’ve had to almost abandon it entirely as a piece of our offense. Be thank you for the pedantry.

You’re such a clown.

He threw a 15 yard dig on the money to Bolden against an 8 man drop. You guys hate him so much you can't member traumatic experiences.

I don’t care about that I care about under the circumstances we find ourselves in which QB gives us the best chance for a title run. It’s an imperfect solution set but I think it’s QE. Now I’m not happy about our odds with him but I do think the chances are near zero with arch and above zero with QE and if the QE we know is there can show up I think we are the favorite. 

Agree, but that is a mighty BIG “if”.

Yes, that was a shitty throw bcause Worthy had to adjust his route to come back to the ball. Ewers absolutely can not throw the post where it needs to go which is in front of the WR's outside shoulder. Every time it's thrown to the WRs inside shoulder. Worthy made a great adjustment to make it look like a great throw, but had Ewers put it on his outside shoulder Worthy runs under it without falling down. The best thing you can about this throw was it was general vicinity of Worthy as opposed to 5 yards in front and inside like the throw to Golden on Saturday. The ball needed to be where the A starts, not between the A and L, but that's what happens when you have shitty footwork like Ewers does on that throw.

The camera angle from behind Ewers which shows Cook celebrating the play shows just how bad a throw it was.

Yeah because the game is the exact same as early 2000s, good point guys!

Holy shit you are peak Texas fan.  Just the worst collection of whiny, know-nothing misanthropes on the internet.  Remind me to never listen to your hot football takes again.  By the way, Kirk Herbstreit has forgotten more about football than you've ever known and he clearly disagrees.  Maybe stop drinking.

Glad we're back to square one: relitigating a road win at Alabama to close out Nick Saban's tenure in which Ewers threw for 350. This might be the worst thread of any message board on the Internet.

I’m gonna argue #4. Wasn’t this the first game he hasn’t had an int?

?  He has 21 TDs and 6 picks on the year. He didn’t throw a pick in UM, UF and Ark games. Your argument is dumb.

Yean, we hate our big wins. 

And if he was worth anything, Ewers would have thrown for 351 yards.

People seem to forget that in the Alabama game Quinn fumbled the ball on a crucial 4th down QB sneak at midfield. It was so bad that we were able to advance it for a 1st down since Quinn never even had possession of the snap to establish it was actually a fumble. That could have been a huge momentum swing had we been unable to convert. 

After that fuckup we got good Quinn and went on to win the game. It wasn’t a clear cut ass whooping of Alabama as people would like to say. But much respect for Quinn and the team winning in Tuscaloosa.

That’s not even the throw I was talking about. 2022.

So the scenario has to be he was laid out? How hard does the hit have to be and how soon after the ball was let go? Does it have to be a route like that or can it be another route? How far does the route have to be from the line? Does it have to be a hit coming from his right or can the guy be coming blind side? Does the guy have to come untouched or can he come free after an initial block? Do we have to have verbal confirmation from Sark that the QB saw him coming and knew he was gonna get hit? Or is a post game interview of him explaining knowing he was going to get hit ok enough? I just wanna get it right before I post something and get told it wasn't the same.

This year's QB draft class is not exactly great, so it is a good year for him to go pro.  NFL Draft Buzz has a QB ranking for the 2025 draft.

1. Sanders
2. Ward
3. Ewers
4. Milroe
5. Nussmeier
6. Beck
7. Gabriel
8. Altair
9. Rourke
10. Klubnick
11. Dart

CBS has Ewers as the #3 QB and #18 overall prospect.
ESPN has Ewers as the #3 QB and #34 overall prospect.

We've seen so much of Ewers that most of us would declare "he's not the 3rd best QB coming out" or "he sucks" or whatever.  Sanders is the clear #1 QB (IMO).  After that, it's up in the air.  
In 2024, 6 QBs were picked in the top-12 picks: Williams, Daniels, Maye, Penix, McCarthy, Nix.  The next QB - Spencer Rattler - was not picked until the 5th round.

Teams who may be looking for a QB - and be wiling to spend a high round pick on it.

1. NYG
2. Browns
3. Panthers
4. Raiders
5. Dolphins
6. Titans
7. Rams

Very few new mock drafts have Ewers in the first round, but many have him in 2nd round.

fwiw

@futureman 

5th round. lol.
