So, we’ll see how this plays out, but the best programs are always going to look at a veteran QB that has produced. They’ll happily play him for two years. As an underclassmen, if you’re not starting by year two, you could be lost in the shuffle forever. I get where he’s coming from.
I've heard talk that the new model for QBs could become signing with a smaller school, get some starts under your belt, and then move up. The Big Boys are looking for experience first and foremost.
That’s exactly how I envision it. Go out and find a program that throws the ball a bunch in a pro style offense and ball out for two years.
I believe if Texas loses and ewers doesn’t look phenomenal, there will be so much pressure on Sark to move forward with Manning because I don’t see Manning sitting another year.
I wouldn’t worry about him. Kind of reminds me of our guy who gave his word to Ohio State, and then Georgia, and then felt dissed by how they recruited other QBs.
Manning is playing this perfectly. With his pedigree and the guys in his corner, he could’ve put tremendous pressure on Sark to play him a lot more. He did not. Instead, he’s listening to guys like Tom Brady and uncle Peyton, uncle Eli, etc, who will tell him that the developmental stage is incredibly valuable. Put in the work, study, learn and be ready when your number is called.
Ewers is out at Texas unless they win the national title, and even then, they may move forward with Manning. Ewers still has many flaws to his game. If I were Texas, I would have moved on to Manning a long time ago.
Agree he’s got good council but I don’t see him sitting another year, he could go to Oregon or Ohio State if Texas chooses to roll with ewers again.
I don’t blame them. Look at the teams that were good this year. Oregon had a six year quarterback. Ohio State had a transfer that was in his fifth year. Notre Dame took a transfer from Duke that had extensive experience. The good teams are realizing you can’t play a young quarterback and you just have Have to have an established leader. The rich get richer. College football is forever changed.
Why doesn't Oregon have 2 experienced, Heisman caliber qbs on the roster? They have unlimited money. That's all it takes, right? Money?
I haven’t watched Arch play, I saw highlights and he has more upside with his legs. I think Ewers throws good 5-15 yard throws and is a good distributor. Going to be interesting to see what happens
No shit they were in the playoffs trying to win a game, not baby an incoming freshman
