Not sure if this has been posted, but I came away thoroughly impressed with Ewers. Gruden throws a lot at him and then comes back later to different plays and protections and the guy just picked it up without hesitation. Great watch!

So I'm wondering what happened to ewers. In the part at the end where he passes the ball, gruden even mentioned the pop when ewers threw the ball. But in a bunch of ewers games especially last year, he had passes flutter and look weak armed. But reports of his ability in the beginning of his playing time with Texas, he apparently could make all the throws and throw in tight windows, It seems like his arm impressed gruden here which seemed like a somewhat recent filming or taping I think. I do think a lot of it might be injury with him playing through it but makes me wonder if he did have a good arm, did his accumulative injuries in college, cause an effect on his arm strength to weaken like Tua's bad hip injury did to Tua's passing velocity? It came back some, but I don't think Tua's arm is like it was in college and will ever be the same.

People are starting to soften up on Gruden. If Miami ends up in the HC market next offseason, I think Ross should suck it up and hire him. Yeah, there will be pushback but if Ross decides to grow a backbone and stand by his decision, all of that will eventually die down.

There is actually a YOUTUBE video with Chris Simms discussing Ewers. I usually don't listen to Simms but he brings up this exact point. He basically says he has so much arm talent that sometimes instead of just firing the ball, he tries to put too much touch on everything. Kurt Warner said something similar. The good news is he has the ability and is coachable. He supposedly trew the ball 85 yards in high school.

 
He had a couple injuries last year, not enough to be benched for a freshman but enough to effect his throwing motion. One was an oblique strain and then an ankle. Could be a steal similar to (dare I say) Brady?... Has to work on setting his feet every time and not relying on just his arm.
 
Watch the whole thing thanks for sharing.His arm talent is exciting but mental part is what franchise QB have to own.Time will only tell I wanted Ewers and Phillips.Never thought Ewers would be available for us I thought the Giants would take him early.Im glad he's a Dolphins.
