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.

 

[Havic]

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

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

please name names,if you watch him for 1 Quarter you know he sucks,i genuinely believe Texas would have won the natty with a better QB.

The thing about Ewers is he was highly regarded committing school. Maybe someone can tap his potential.

Vince Young was successful wasn’t he? Jeff Fisher officially killed his career but it started off ok from
Whet I remember.

Cam Ward may have been the sixth QB taken if he was in the draft last year. Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Bo Nix would have went ahead of him and JJ McCarthy might have.

What I am saying is this was not a good QB class overall, and teams that took them this year might be searching again soon. So it's not hard to see people overvaluing players like Sanders and Ewers.

This is the interesting thing though….weak class yet some of the bigger names couldn’t get drafted.

This happens all the time though. They say it’s weak and then a franchise qb pops up lol.

Yes. Briefly, when he started out,
Year one with a running team using the read option can take teams off guard in the first year.
Chris Johnson and Young

But VY only had 50 total starts in his entire NFL career

Man, was he fun to watch in college though
