HAPPENNING

So when is Ewers announcing?

So when is Ewers announcing?

It could happen at any time, but I've heard some say they expect him to announce tomorrow. Kinda still up in the air.

Still in Texas favor?

Still in Texas favor?

Yes, its done

 

[605Longhorn]

Ewers just announced in favor of Texas.

Ewers just announced in favor of Texas.  

I’m underwhelmed

If either or both hudson card and casey thompson remain at Texas they sill still be the best quarterback on opening day

I hope Sark is able to resist the pressure to start Ewers sooner rather than breaking him in gradually

I am more excited by the OL 5* recruits because no pocket passer can survive or thrive without protection

the better the protection the better the offense no matter who the QB is

and it goes without saying that we need a couple of dominating defensive line players also

all of which MIGHT allow Texas to compete for a Big 12 championship next year

I wouldn't be so sure.  A couple of years ago Ohio State had a full QB room as they always do.  Justin Fields transferred from Georgia after sitting on the bench all season as a freshman and having a starter ahead of him at Georgia for another year.  Fields had a pretty good redshirt freshman year; starting every game, leading Ohio State to the playoffs, and being a Heisman finalist.

I'm pretty sure this was done last week, otherwise.  This staff would have gone after Evers.

I also don't see the two big uglies committing without some incite.

Definitely more excited about the Oline.

Sark may feel some pressure to start Ewers,  but ultimately he will go with whichever QB he thinks gives us the best chance to win.

I disagree with the assessment that Casey and Hudson are the better options.  Ewers just spent nearly a year in a CFB strength and conditioning program, he's fresh, and has legit arm talent.  I also think he may have the better football IQ of the three.  But, lets not leave out the project in Murphy.  Spring will be fun.

I'm not/can't blame him on cashing in when the money showed itself (dude made nearly 2 million to hang out).  Had the UIL fixed their issue with the NIL, Ewers would have been the SL QB this Fall.

I'd rather have him on campus fighting for the job than wondering what if....

You seem real fun at parties.

I am glad to have Ewers too

he has great athletic talent

but there is more to quarterbacking than just throwing the ball

he will be up against better players on defense than he saw in high school

if Sark thinks he’s ready to play who am I to say no?

my comments are the fans, including me, who might expect too much from Ewers than he can deliver fresh out of the box

I think Texas needs several great recruiting classes that add talent and depth before they are the perennial powerhouse we came to expect under Darrell Royal and Mac Brown
