Quinn Ewers signs 4 year contract

[BlueFin]

To me he was not the same after he lost weight. Stocky Ewers with the mullet was much more impressive. I’m still pleased with the pick.

I think there’s a lot to work with there… And this might be a really good place for him to be as we deal with the end of Tua’s contract?

People say we should take a late round flyer every year on a QB. They've finally done it. And if you're going to take a QB in the 7th round, I like taking one who, at times, played well in a major conference. I watched a lot of Texas games, and while sometimes they baffled me, I saw Ewers play well on different occasions. I'm very curious about what he might become. Do I expect greatness? No, but it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up being serviceable. Hell, if he could be Don Strock, it's a home run.

The NFL has a nasty habit of only liking shiny new toys. That is why guys like Dart get over drafted; teams hope there is some untapped potential hiding in his game.

Ewers is a known product. His ceiling isn’t anywhere near as high. However, his floor is above most of the guys drafted ahead of him. The lack of some unknown factor/ability he might have undiscovered or unrefined is why teams viewed him lower than the rest of the 2nd tier QBs.

If I had to pick a player to emergency start week 1 this year, I would take Ewers over Dart and Milroe 100% of the time. Now 2-3 years from now he might be a back up QB and they might be starters.

Ewers may never be a starting QB, but he could never improve from college and still be better than Skylar ever was. The dude was a week 3/4 preseason warrior that never improved from a bottom of the roster player.

Interesting observation.

Absolutely… I’m certainly not saying he’s a sure thing?… But he was the winningest quarterback in college football over the last three years and he certainly has big wins over great programs on the road? He beat Alabama and Michigan on the road by double digits… The guy has the arm talent, and when I watched the Gruden QB class I saw a confident and intelligent QB with an accurate strong arm and a great release! We will see what happens in the pros? I like his chances….

No offense to Quinn, but does anybody else think of a donkey when his last name is written?

 

[OrangeBowl]

He got chance. He should off stay college another yr. Might been top pick in 2026. Qb u never know. Some answer bell and lot dont in NFL. Maybe this who dolphins want. Gave him 2 yr and less see what happens.

I hope im wrong about Ewers, but I've always thought he was gonna end up selling insurance soon after his college career ended.

He's never impressed me and I've watched more Texas games the last two seasons than any other college team, trying to get a glimpse of Manning. Ewers never impressed me for one second.

Maybe you were watching texas tech instead.

Maybe you were watching texas tech instead.

I was not

Congratulations to Ewers.....officially the most bandwidth ever spent on a 7th round QB draft pick who has never played in an NFL game in the history of the internet.

 

[lynx]

I don’t see that at all…

You think Skylar is better than Ewers? You think Skylar is better than anybody in the NFL?

 

[lynx]

Compare accomplishments?

Certainly you can say that there is at least some decent upside to Ewers, we already know what Skylar is, a very poor NFL QB who is probably in the only organization that actually needs him at the moment

It’s interesting that you only choose the negative or the mistakes… and don’t recognize that I openly said don’t draft the injury prone Tua? I guess you’ve been perfect on every opinion you’ve had?

yo Blue I was jus bein a smartie ask! I recommend not taking this stuff too serious or you might get a rash!

Beyond that I reckon your flawed opinion is just as valid as most others 'roun here so feel free to carry on!

 

[Jssanto]

I think that's the general consensus throughout the fanbase these days. Last year was a train wreck and Ross didn't even try to rectify the shortcomings at the level that moves the needle. This coming season is just a Tua concussion away from the dreaded 3-4 win season.

I wonder how many games in some of us will be rooting for losses to get a top 5 draft pick?

 

[Pacer]

I hope you are wrong, we all do.
My question, and it can’t really be answered, is what if we had taken Sanders at 144 and then used the Ewers pick (#231?) on DL, OL, CB, or S. Which way would have been better?

Hard to say though I would point out that #144 belonged to Cleveland via Seattle so the Fins would have passed on Jordan Phillips at #143 to take Sanders. Hard to think a better player than Phillips would have been there at 231. I think Sanders fits the scheme but so could Ewers; both have some rare traits. Both feel like elevated injury risks. Ewers comes without the sideshow and for me that's valuable for a team trying to reset its culture.

I've looked at a lot of his "tape" recently. There is two very different players injured/non injured. He is a very interesting prospect when healthy, he injured he plays through it but his play significantly changes as well as his mechanics.

We should give him a chance, he can sit learn this year and build the body to be more durable as well as heal. Last year @ Texas he looked hurt, badly hurt and played through it.
