But you have more of a chance at Texas than you do at Tech. Yes we were 5-7 this hear, but that isn’t an every year thing at Texas. It his at Tech. We were in the Sugar bowl not that long ago

- Thread starter ElDiabloTejano
- Start date
You're a HS legend if you throw up right before throwing a TD pass in a state title game. End of discussion.
Based on this logic he should go to Miami Ohio - Ben Roethlisberger. Or Wyoming - Josh Allen.
Lamar Jackson - Louisville
Josh Allen - Wyoming
Trey Lance - North Dakota St.
Drew Brees - Purdue
Matt Ryan - Boston College
Aaron Rodgers and Jared Goff - Cal
There's numerous examples of not just QBs but all positions of guys that came from small schools.
Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, and TO all came from small schools and they are arguably the 3 greatest WRs of all time.
Couple significant things of note: First, 25% of 1st round MLB draft picks never actually make the majors. So there's a sizeable number that get paid and fail. (I use first rounders as those would most closely associate to the 5 star recruit). The other item for MLB is that the team retains the players rights for 6 years. That makes that money an investment. NCAA football has no such guarantees. The NIL process is just buyer beware, or you could end up just like Ohio State (who already paid Ewers his first million in NIL money) and have absolutely nothing to show for it.
OSU didn’t pay Ewers a dime. The NIL deals come from 3rd parties who are usually controlled by boosters and alumni.
There's a sizeable amount of 5* recruits that never make it to the NFL. And before now, these guys haven't been legally paid. What's your point?
Schools don't pay the NIL, it comes from outside sources. So again, what does Texas have to lose?
I find it odd that there is a faction of people that want to live in the stone age in regards to NIL whilst also expecting Texas to recruit at a high level. LOL.
Correct the money doesn't come from the school. But to the extent that the money comes from "3rd parties controlled by boosters and alumni" - that's money that "might" have been given to the school that will now be given directly to the player. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I would guess that the schools might take a hit in alumni donations.
Correct. Given the new NIL "rules", that is merely a way to "redirect" the donations in a much more efficient manner while avoiding the administrative overhead and oversight.
as I understand the new portal transfer rules, they allow a "one time transfer" without having to sit out a year. That means only once can the high level recruit screw over the ones that paid him. It will all work out. Hell, back in the 40's and 50's schools just went out and bought the best they could get. Football thrived in those days. At one time not even the pros could compete with the money colleges were throwing around.
I feel like the alumni base and feeling of community is MUCH stronger in college football. The NFL thrives because of fantasy football, not necessarily because the football is "better."
Just theories, nothing more
Is this the frozen rope throw to the sidelines that Clob likes to see in his QB? This boy can really spin it. Let’s hope he make these throws in the guts of a game with something on the line. I love what I see from him!
What stands out to me is the quick release, and that it looks effortless. Great natural arm talent, but we’ve seen this before. Then again, our community college OL has ruined it before.
So this Ewers kid has been paid $4-$5 mil. Before taking a college snap? Transferred out of Oh. St. ? The expectations put on this kid are going to be astronomical
I think it was 1.4 million for 3 years. With him leaving early i'm not sure how much of that he is entitled to. I know the truck he was given to drive he had to turn back in. He's got all the tools to be a high first round pick so we will see if Sark can work his magic.
Yep. Never happened before. Never seen a 18/19 year get millions of dollars before they take meaningful snaps/pitches/shots/etc................................
If he goes to Tech nobody gives a shit. He chooses Texas and all the "adults" start spamming the kids twitter. Quite a sight to see
Well I’ve seen first hand with Rattler how the NIL deals put a lot more expectation on a player. With that kind of NIL money the fanbase will be expecting instant results, Heisman, NC etc. and really, why should they expect less? It sets kids up for failure imo
I think Rattler was/is a jerk.
And like I said, if he went to Tech nobody would give a shit.
Everyone watch this video. This is how you throw the out route with a vapor trail.
Now I'm going to be overly critical-- he has a bit of a side arm release. He doesn't come 12 to 3 to release which means his balls are going to be easier to knock down at the LOS.
But you can't question his velocity.
The UT Football program sure needed this. A ray of hope for the longhorn faithful, and something to feel good and talk about over the hot stove.
I concur with Rattler's attitude but that's not what I'm talking about here. With the booster's shelling out big money for Ewers, there's naturally an expectation that will go along with that, righty or wrongly and if those lofty expectations are not met, these players will feel the repercussions from the fanbase etc. It's the new normal in college ball. Mr. Ewers is on the clock.
Breaking News: The starting QB at Texas will have high expectations. In other news, water is wet.
With Ewers and Murphy coming, Sark has added two of the biggest arms in the country. I hope they have it between the ears.
How can it not be? These kids are getting paid alot of money now, that's not for them to just come in and compete, that's for championships in return or that's the common thought among fanbases now. At least that's what I would be expecting.
Bell, it's not just Ewers. It's all of these highly rated players who are going to get NIL money like this. It's going to come down to the schools that get the top talent will have the best pool of NIL money to give to these kids and who will win big.
NIL is really bad for college sports and will divide the locker rooms. I get the fairness to the players and leveling things out somewhat. For years schools have profited off of players and the players have gotten nothing in return (at least above board), but this NIL is going to ruin college sports in the end.

Yeah...he has to perform. There are consequences for every decision you make...and sometimes it isn't what you thought or hoped for.
However, I don't think the feeling of "pressure" is going to be any different than Ewers coming in as the highest rated QB ever on the recruiting sites. And I don't think fans/boosters are going to be acting much different than the way they do now. The excuse is just different for acting a dumbass as a fan now.
Ruin it how? I want to be sure I know where you're coming from before I engage in this convo
He will have higher expectations than the last several QBs we have had. I don't think you can put a National Championship on his shoulders though. The defense and O line would need to get much better for that.
Just want to state that no one knows what he is getting. That $4 million number was thrown out there by Luicci at Texags who only said it to make Texas look desperate. I all fairness, we are desperate though.
By dividing the locker room. You're going to have a few players making a mil or two, some players making a hundred k or two, and some players getting nothing. I can see it having a negative affect on some players attitude towards coaches and their work ethic. Also, it will distract players from focusing on their degree and going to class.
