Some Draft Comments of Past "Quinn Ewers will be #1 overall pick"

[Tabascocat]

I didn’t think he would even be drafted. He won’t be in the league for long.

Give me one post where I said Ewers would go #1 overall.

I don't think you did, Hardline. Maybe said 1st round, but so did several people.

The irony about Texas Longhorn football is that it is one of the winningest programs of all time, yet it hasn't had many long-term successful NFL quarterbacks.

They've had none that were long-term starters in the past 60+ years.
Bobby Lane in the 50's was the last one.
Vince Young got drafted early but was gone soon

Even a program like East Carolina has had 2 in the last 30 years or so
Jeff Blake....100 starts...a Pro Bowl
David Garrard....76 career starts...some playoff success...a Pro Bowl

That's 2 more than UT....lol
I say this and my daughter is attending UT, so not being a hater

It's just weird

well, honestly, there are a number of big time college programs that have not done a lot better. Iowa for example has not had a starter for a NFL team since the 80's.

a number of Big Ten schools can say the same. When was the last Northwestern QB to make it big in the NFL? I cannot think of any. I think you could look at teams like Texas A & M or Texas Tech and there have not been many.

Look at the SEC. Several teams there not much better.

I would bet that half of all the FBS teams have never had a good starter at QB in the NFL

Good point

I was thinking more in regard to all-time great programs, but point still stands even with them.

It's more rare than it seems

He does this every year. Overvalues Longhorn prospects and then disappears when its time to for recompense.

Longhorn players were good this year, I'm just glad we got one. Quinn shoulda kept his mullet and then he might of won a natty and gone #1 overall.

Was never impressed with him and he couldnt stay healthy at the college level, the NFL level will kill him
