Within the 2025 NFL draft, our Miami Dolphins used one in every of their sixth-round picks to pick former Texas Longhorns beginning quarterback Quinn Ewers. Then got here varied posts suggesting that the workforce had immediately chosen Ewers as a substitute for present starter Tua Tagovailoa, or at the least as a stopgap if he had been to undergo additional accidents, forcing the workforce to maneuver on from him sooner reasonably than later. As with all NFL rumor, there could also be some fact behind it, however simply as typically, they’re merely one thing for somebody to invest on or falsely declare to realize clicks on their bogus tales.
With that in thoughts, final week I requested the next query:
Do you assume that Quinn Ewers is somebody the Dolphins are contemplating as a potential substitute for Tua Tagovailoa after the 2026 season, or do you consider they solely see him as a possible long-term reply as a backup quarterback?
Beneath is a random choice of your ideas and solutions to the PQOTD-
FrancescoITA asks a great query. I don’t know, however it’s at the least an concept that the media sells about what particular groups are searching for.
“however as a quarterback that they may develop right into a long-term backup”.
Is {that a} mythological creature ? That you simply draft QBs, you develop them, and ‘pof’ you could have your backup QB for years… I’m not certain that this factor exists (Besides after all exceptions …)
twinssdfan sees him as a great participant, but additionally, who is aware of?
An excellent participant, I personnally wished McCord however I’m nice with this decide. He could possibly be the subsequent Purdy who Is aware of. Glad he’s right here as an alternative of Jets.
holland182.0 thinks the choice was all about his looking prowess.
I feel he was chosen merely as a result of he had such a pleasant assortment of deer heads on the wall. However I don’t see him as a long-term answer at backup a lot much less as a starter
phinette is confused. Properly, I believe not on the whole, however at the least about this one dude.
How ironic {that a} QB with so many perceived flaws managed to stay QB1 at Texas and QB2 is heralded because the second coming. I’m so confused. ♀️
Glen55 means that I could, in truth, not be a whole fool. Respect it!
I’ve the identical take because the writer: choosing a QB within the seventh spherical is just not an indication the workforce needs to switch Tua. If something, it factors in the wrong way, that they’re searching for a man they’ll practice to be a strong backup.
FlyerFinFan believes that taking an opportunity on a man within the seventh is an efficient gamble with solely upside. I’ve to agree.
Doesn’t harm to swing within the seventh I’d have been happy with a QB anyplace from the fifth onwards. Who is aware of however let’s hope he could be a gem.
toscana jones sees Ewers as a possible long-term backup, and anything we get from him after that’s gravy.
Potential long run backup QB, every little thing else is feasible however not possible.
Dolfanjoe has analogies, and I, too, typically wish to play a lotto scratch off right here and there.
So we went to the 7 eleven and bought a 2 dolla scratch off. It has a little bit of Slurpee spilled on it and we’re going to have to attend and see if it’s a winner. Afterall you should buy a 30 dolla ticket within the first spherical, attempt to scratch it however its nonetheless moist behind the ears and all of the writing comes off ! Now you spent 30 buckaroo’s and cant even learn the code. You didn’t decide properly………… However that 2 dolla ticket has no stress and you’ll let it dry for a season at the least, may not even should take it out of the drawer. Nonetheless have that 15 dolla ticket you picked up in NY and able to money it in if Your unique 50 dolla ticket will get misplaced or broken. Train develop and hope for the very best ! Hell even the Fin’s may get fortunate someday !
MIAMI235 thinks the Dolphins probably noticed the worth late within the draft and pulled the set off. This appears extremely potential, as many projected him a lot greater within the draft.
Maybe, it was so simple as a price play within the seventh spherical, with the thought of rolling the cube and see what he’ll grow to be in Miami.
Spok507 took the cop out, and but it’s not unsuitable.
Whereas ’you by no means know’ could possibly be thought of a cop-out reply, it’s really the one actual reply. Odds are towards, however… I really watched a sport (perhaps it was their bowl sport?) and I believed Ewers was fairly good. Poised, in management, good arm and good selections. In 3 years at Texas, he had 737 completions for 9,128 passing yards 68 Passing TDs + 8 Dashing TDs and 24 INTs. I’d say that’s a satisfactory file. TX went to the playoff semi-finals his final two years, so he was in a position to drive the bus properly sufficient for the workforce to succeed. And he managed to maintain Arch Manning on the sidelines for a pair years regardless of the pedigree and nationwide consideration. Whether or not or not a school QB could make it within the NFL has extra to do together with his scenario than his precise attributes proven throughout faculty. Brady wasn’t extremely touted in any respect, but he fell into the right scenario with Belichick. Even Mahomes wouldn’t be the QB we see now if he was taking part in for the Panthers or another person. Touchdown in the correct place, with the correct coach, system and philosophy is the important thing. Can Ewers be the subsequent in that line? Perhaps, perhaps not. It gained’t be instant, and it’s extraordinarily uncommon, however it does occur. No one thought Purdy could be the place he’s immediately. I watched him at Iowa State and thought he was good however by no means actually thought his sport would translate to the NFL fairly prefer it has. When Tua inevitably misses a number of video games subsequent season, it’s going to both be Ewers or Wilson who’ve the chance to make their case. I’m actually hoping one in every of them can.
That’s our random ten feedback for this night. I feel there may be at the least a consensus that he is likely to be one thing nice, but additionally nothing in any respect, as a result of none of us can learn the longer term; if we may, we’d be silly wealthy by now. As all the time, thanks to every of you who took the time to learn and reply our PQOTD.
