Bruce Feldman on Whether Arch Manning Could Unseat Quinn Ewers as Texas’ QB1 | The Rich Eisen Show

[@whatwhy106]

Chill, Ewers experience is 10x. Us Texas fans aren’t hollering for Arch over Quinn.

[@daniellongoria9622]

Quinns team until he steps off campus , Arch assumes command of the offense next year . Arch is here to develop and will be the best prepared backup in college football .

[@deesee2051]

Quinn is going pro this yr he should have went last yr

[@AliensAnonymous]

TEXAS is in such great shape with this "situation" that talking heads have to make up drama for views.

[@whatever_it_takes6691]

One more year of Ewers next year then 3 more years of Arch. A 23 year old, redshirt senior Manning out there throwing lasers and ripping off 70 yards runs, that would be so sick.

[@longhornsfan99]

Quinn Ewers is still the best QB in Austin. It's good for Arch to get reps, but the media is way overhyping this. It's UTSA. Ewers has the experience and the skills to take Texas to a national championship. Arch will too, but not this year.

[@TheNewThrone]

Quinn has earned that spot. Arch is the future though. From a buckeyes fan

[@sammymans]

As a lifelong Longhorn fan - super annoying to watch Rich try and start a QB Contoversy rumor when Quinn is clearly the starter when he is back. Clickbair Rich is back it!

[@ericmartin7185]

He’s just upset the Horns whooped up on his Wolverines

[@KeishaJones]

I’m a Bama fan, and Arch was making IQ throws and plays that VERY few QBs can make. Ewers is a GREAT QB… BUT from the eye test, pound for pound… Arch Manning is better. Stronger arm, higher IQ, and FASTER! Arch Manning gives Texas the BEST chance at winning. Ewers ain’t running for a 65 yard TD.

[@damonchandler9887]

His arm isn’t stronger than Quinn’s

[@es330td]

This is a pointless discussion. Manning stayed at Texas knowing full well He was the back up. He knows he is going to have his turn under a great head coach and does not going to “compete for the job“ because he knows his turn is the next couple years. Don’t go looking for trouble where it doesn’t exist.

[@doc8013]

Yeah, I agree. There's just no drama with this at all right now. Although they may only get one year outta Arch. Just depends on what he looks like next year.

[@chriscypert8616]

Elite upperclassman QB > Elite RS Freshman QB When Quinn is 100% he’s the starter, without question. His experience and the fact he’s seeing the field, processing, and deciding faster than Arch right now makes him the best option to win against elite talent Quinn will sit this week against ULM, probably sit against Miss St (unless he’s 100% healthy), then start against OU, UGA, and the rest of the year. Arch Manning is probably a top 10-20 QB in college football right now, who’s making a lot of splash plays. He just happens to be behind a top 3 QB. Good problem to have.

[@AliensAnonymous]

It’s called click bait. I am blocking this channel. I detest click bait.

[@AliensAnonymous]

​@@KeepYourSillyPronouns I didn't think they were that lazy.

[@backdoorwolf666]

I tell this story to everyone that I use to work as an uber driver and one night i picked up this one kid who said he played o-line at Newman High (Manning's HS). Arch didn't make any commitments at that time and I asked him if Arch told him where he wanted to play college. His answer was that Arch really didn't care about college in the sense of winning. He just wanted to go to a place that would help him develop as an NFL caliber qb. So he's perfectly fine being a backup. College for him is a stepping stone into a bigger destination.

[@pncombies]

Ewers is QB1and Manning gets handed the keys after Texas' season ends. How quickly people forget Ewers' master class performance against Michigan last week. Hell, he was 14-16 for 185 and a pair of TD's before he got hurt. He was about to go off on UTSA! The best QB in Austin wears #3. All that being said, Arch stepped up when is # was called a wowed us. He's following the plan and developing into QB everyone expected him to be. He'll get invaluable game-time experience this weekend against ULM and the following week against Mississippi State if they keep Ewers out. Then an open date and OU the following weekend. I expect a healthy Ewers will be ready to go against the Sooners.🤘🏼

[@stischer47]

Ewers is the #1 QB, Manning is backup. Unless Ewers is permanently injured he will remain #1.

[@LJfootball14]

Ewers was absolutely dealing before getting hurt against UTSA. It’s funny the people not truly connected to Texas just doesn’t get it. Ewers is QB1 the entire year while he’s healthy.

[@Freshbagels888]

The national media wants this to be a conversation because their job is to create interest. It's stupid conversation. Ewers is so good this year, his awareness, command of the offense, his ability to sense pressure, step up on the pocket, put the ball on the money...any he's done it in big games. He's the guy. Arch is going to be awesome...in the future.

[@zimvader25]

They all get their chance in camp. He’s #2 for a reason.

[@smashm1847]

unless arch beats a ranked opponent and has a great game doing so, him steamrollinig bad teams isnt justification to take ewers out

[@NashTalksTexas]

As A longhorn fan, I thought Bruce did a great job here. Arch is a talented guy but this is still Quinn's team.

[@obarbeito]

Ewers won't lose his starting job. He's a senior ready for the draft. Manning is practicing for next season.

[@stevejohnson7026]

Wrong. Quinn is a junior. What happens if Quinn returns for a senior year? Most people assume Ewers is going t9 declare but isn't that what people thought last year. The point obviously is what will transpire if Quinn returns. If he continues to get hurt he just might return. I doubt this happens but boy oh boy what a scenario.

[@jay____l]

@@stevejohnson7026If Ewers were to come back as a senior, I wouldn't even be against it. He would be the best QB easily in CFB and would probably win a National Championship if he doesn't this year.

This is NOTHING like Bledsoe/Brady. Bledsoe was not an elite QB or even a great QB when Brady took over. Patriots were 0-2 and had been 7-19 in their last 26 games. Texas is undefeated and Ewers is 21-3 as a starter completing 73% of his passes.

[@beaubellamy2999]

What if Arch beats the doors off of ULM and Miss St then Ewers somehow loses to OU and has a rough first half against Georgia?

[@TB12710]

If true freshman Arch Manning balls tonight, he has to be elevated to QB1. Long time Texas fans might want Quinn Ewers but now because there is a Manning 5star recruit on the QB depth chart there is lots interest as to who should be the starter + these days fans flock over to a school for a good story which is presently Arch Manning.

[@rowansps]

I feel for QE, but abdominal strain is a tricky injury, he might not get back to the starting job.

[@richardgomez892]

I really get a kick at National guys who have no insight or don’t really cover the horns having an opinion without paying attention to growth and results. No one in Austin who actually follows their horns believe Quinn should be benched for Arch. Let the kid get experience and develop man.

[@michaeldehart648]

Why? Why talk about replacing Ewers as long as he's healthy? Has he not played well? Is UT not successful with Ewers? Arch excelled against a lesser level team. Great experience and confidence builder, but hardly time to give him the Heisman. If Ewers can't get it done, then it is next man up.

[@stephenheath8465]

Sark put a kibosh on any QB Controversy lol

[@smilerpink]

“QB controversy” is clickbait BS. Ewers is the starter who gives Texas the best chance to reach its goal-national championship. Feldman is dead right-Texas is in a great situation here. Two very likely lopsided home wins (ULM, Mississippi State) followed by a bye week before Oklahoma in RRS and Georgia in Austin. Plenty of time to let Ewers rehab, get Arch game reps and have both ready to go for the meat of the schedule. Arch may be the best backup QB in CFB. This Texas team has that kind of depth at most position groups. Let the media go nuts on Arch. Sark is playing the long game and won’t be swayed. A deep playoff run means a 16 or 17 game season. Heavy rotation keeps everyone fresh, protects against injuries and develops young players. Great recruiting tool too.

[@Jone0321]

Clickbait is fun, and it's a hard topic to not throw gas on the fire....but every single person in this situation has said the same. Quinn, when healthy, is the man at Texas.

[@Chris-xv7wd]

Quinn is Texas boy. Those bums that leave the state are embarrassing.

[@marcusgarza7765]

You go with the BETTER quarterback and that's Arch Manning. I don't care about experience this or that, what experience, throwing INTs during big games, throwing games away, throwing an INT during your first series against OU, couldn't throw a back shoulder throw 3 times in a row during the end of your playoff game, choking during big games, that kind of experience? How easily everyone forgets how often Ewers loses big games for TX.

[@Rleequintero]

This is all noise by the media. He isn’t ready. He did that against a scrub of a team

Everyone poor mouths Arch's high school which, yes, is a small school. But it's also the same school that produced Eli and Payton Manning and Odell Beckham. Isidore Newman didn't seem to hurt any of those NFL greats. Yet talking heads consistently downplay it for Arch. Do some homework, guys.

[@jonwheelis2037]

I take absolutely nothing away from Ewers but Arch is the better athlete but not as experienced. If you look at what the NFL does in these types of situations is to play the more athletic QB & then if necessary change over to the more experienced player at some point in the game if necessary to try & win that particular game. This utilizes the talents of each player to their utmost potential & at the same time allows the better athlete to gain actual game conditions experience. After all football is a team sport so what's best for the team should take precedence over the thought of hurting any 1 players feeling or expectations. And winning the National Championship is the ultimate goal isn't it???

[@drm2364]

Quinn is the starter unless he's injured. That's not going to change. Arch has the next two games to get some very valuable playing time.

[@VictorDiGiovanni]

If Arch doesn't play another snap this year, he can declare for the draft and go in the first round. Who wouldn't take him? Who doesn't think Arch is going to be the Next Manning Up?

Arch is a redshirt freshman. You have to be 3 years removed from high school in order to enter the draft.
