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

[UT_TheUniversity]

The odd thing for me about how some national media, rival fans, and even our own fans think of Ewers is they completely overlook the fact that Ewers was in essence a true-FR last season.

How many QBs come straight from HS and can start at a place like Texas a run a very multiple and somewhat difficult playbook that Sark runs??

I don’t get why he’s treated by some unfairly and held to a different standard while completely and conveniently not realizing he was comparatively in his first season out of HS.

I think I know some peoples motives but it’s likely better suited for the corral.

Agree on "a", although I still think he was a big part of the improved rush defense in 2022.

I think a lot of what he does well, and what he's supposed to do in this scheme, is attack the a gap and disrupt the run blocking scheme. He forces a lot of runs to bounce outside away from the blocking.

I also don't think he's a sure fire day 1 or day 2 pick, mostly because of his size. But he is so good against the run that I also think its not crazy to think he won't have another strong year and garner some legitimate interest.

we're mostly on the same page.

most of my pushback isn't that he is either good or going to be very good, it's that he would leap to the NFL after this season.

I just don't see that.

The absolute expectations is that we haven't come close to seeing the best of Ewers.l

You put an outcast at #2?

I agree, I have never been totally sold on Clemens. Something about him just doesn’t seem right. Can’t put my finger on it, but something about that guy is unsettling

Jamaal Charles has the highest per carry average in NFL history.
