Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Quinn Ewers' Legacy at Texas)

Ok. I guess that means Bryce Young was over ranked since he couldn’t beat our Mac Jones
Yep, the X factor when it comes to money down the drain will be that Daddy is coming home and you better spare no expense.
He was a true freshman in 2020 when Jones won the job.
He won the Heisman in his second year and turned pro after his third.
Really?
Yes. Really. You’re the one not remotely considering that Murphy very well could produce very nicely at Texas. Does he have somewhat of a narrow window? Sure. Probably not beyond ‘24. But you’re kinda being very narrow minded. FWIW if Arch wins the Heisman in ‘25 or ‘26 in his two years as the starter then goes top 5 I assume you will think he was “over ranked.” After all he didn’t win the job as ‘24 so clearly he was no good
They literally are just a season apart. The point is simple. You said if Arch cannot beat out Maalik in ‘24 then he was over ranked. Basically suggesting he failed somewhat as a #1. Don’t run from it now. Is this where we pull up the Hudson Card is Aaron Rodgers hype train?
If Manning has to wait until Murphy is done, it's not one season apart. It's two.
It's just a wildly terrible example.
Lol. Does it really matter? I have no real vibe the Mannings are hell bent on Arch being in the ‘26. You’re picking an oddball time to lose faith in the Manning process
Given that you're going with a Mac Jones parallel, I suppose you would be confused.
Actually it’s quite appropriate. Particularly given the wide chasm from how Jones was viewed as a prospect versus Maalik
I totally agree with you on baseball team. Going 0-2 in regional is distinctly possible. I really want Pierce to succeed. Im not sure. There always is something not quite right with his teams
It does if you're making a direct comparison between the two situations. One guy sat behind one guy for a year. The other would be sitting behind two players for multiple years.
They aren't the same thing.
It's not that I don't believe Murphy won't be drafted when his career ends, it's the notion that he would leave school early to do and us buy that concept when he hasn't been a consistent plus-player yet.
I could not agree with you more. What if Maalik got significant playing time this year and continued to look like he did in the spring game? is he #2 in 2024 because the name on the back of his jersey isn't Manning?
Jones was a redshirt Junior. So when he won the job he had two years of eligibility remaining
Literally those two aren’t mutually exclusive. Murphy very well would could be real good then jump. Arch could still be better. So losing out to Murphy and s not necessarily a travesty

Four year player. Correct. And then Bryant started in year two, like every other five-star No.1 overall-ish quarterback has done in the last 2-+ years.
I'm not the one talking about it those terms. I'm responding to others who are framing it with that type of language.
Wut? I didn’t realize this was 2025. You literally just took your ball and ran home. Well done
The heads exploding here would be epic if he somehow ended up at aggy when they cut Jimbo loose.
