I swear these football bros are dumb as bricks. Dude would have made $5 million in the transfer portal. Now he goes in the 7th Round and will be at league minimum of $840K. Hoopers are smart. They ain't staying in the draft unless they are Round 1. The college money is too good to risk it too early on the pro try.
What was the point of Quinn Ewers coming out early?
- Thread starter Sean Miller Fan
- Start date
He was going to lose the starting job to Manning, but I guess he could have transferred.
If he was worried that Arch Manning was going to take his job, I am sure there was a school out there willing to spend a few million for him to transfer to their school. So yeah, extremely poor decision.
These guys get bad info from people. I'm pretty sure he never expected to be drafted in the 7th round.
Pretty sure it was stated that he had a muti-million dollar offer on the table from an SEC school. So, yeah. It was a dumb decision. Not quite as dumb as decorating your game room with 200 dead animals, but dumb nonetheless.
What’s wrong with outdoorsmanship? lol. Coming out early was definitely dumb, but are we sure he’s not a better players than Will Howard who the Stillers took 40+ picks earlier?
They invented this thing called the transfer portal, where CFP quarterbacks can make well into 7 figures. All-time worst decision. He might be bagging groceries soon and left $5 million on the table.
So what round do you think he was expecting to get drafted in? I would have figured around 5th round at best, slight chance of moving up to 4th but probably a better chance of dropping to 6th. That should have been his realistic expectation.
In any case, at some point moving on to that next level and seeing what their chances are is of greater interest to them then cashing in 1 more year in college. Especially for anyone who has any confidence that they can make it at the next level.
you would have to think that transfer portal money would be a lot better than 4th or 5th round money.
Yeah maybe so but like I said, at some point any athlete that has even the slightest pro aspirations is going to be more interested in progressing along that path than delaying the process a year just to make a little more by staying in college 1 more year.
Only ones that would do the college thing 1 more year just for the $$ are the ones that feel they have negligible shot at the pro level.
Conversely, ones that think they have a lot more to prove and can significantly improve their draft prospects will consider that one more year in college. But I think it will be more for that chance to improve draft prospects than simply to make more $ for one year. At least that’s the way I would look at it if I was in their shoes.
If Tim Boyle is still in the league, I think Quinn Ewers can stick around for a few years.
No. If you can get $2-$3 million more to stay in college, you stay. That is a shit load of money that he gave up for no reason. Probably can't even spell his name and couldn't deal with another year of classes even though everyone passes.
His NFL.com draft profile had him projected as a 3rd round pick. CBS Sports had him as the 107th best player, ESPN had him 111th. Most projections were around 4th round. I'm guessing he was being told that or better by his people.
Now what ended up happening was all QBs slid in this draft.
I agree with you. It's hard not to jump when everything points to a mid round pick and you want to get into the league. Easy for others to play Monday morning QB after the fact.
Huh? A mid-round pick makes what $1 million maybe? He would have made a minimum of $3 million in college for much less work and maybe as much as $5 million. But it's hard to pass up mid-round NFL money?
When you may not have an NFL career at all and may be bagging groceries in a few years, you take the $3 million-$5 million guaranteed for a few months work in college then try the NFL in a year. At some point, SOMETHING has to be about money. The kid may not even make an NFL roster.
But that is your choice. Certainly everyone should not base their choices on your advice.
Uh, this isn't about a guy taking $28M instead of $32M. He would have gotten about $5M to play another year in college. Now, if he's lucky enough to make the team for the duration of his contract, he might see a little over 80% of that in four years total.

Yea, I hate when people say not everything is about money. This is similar to a Wal Mart greeter turning down a $1 million/year at an easier job that required much less work because he is happy being a greeter and living in a trailer court. At some point, when we are talking about THIS type of money, you HAVE to consider money. Ewers's decision is probably the worst in draft history. The guy could have almost named his price in the portal but again, he seems like one of those dumb AF jocks.
You say that like living in trailer court's is a bad thing. Alot of camaraderie exists in trailer parks. And tornadoes too.
It is always about the money. I'm sure Ewers is so dumb that he thinks that the sooner he gets to his second contract, the sooner he will be making beaucoup dolares.
Ewers ain't going to be bagging groceries at any point in his life. He grew up in Southlake Tx.
Yeah, this isn't about money. Dude had that silver spoon in his mouth from day one. This is more about not losing his job to a Manning and checking the box as a pro. Worst case he ends up with a clipboard on a team where the starter is always getting hurt.
Worst case is he never makes an NFL roster. I mean he was a 7th Round pick. There is no guarantee he even gets to be a clipboard holder. And even if he does, he may never make back the money he could have made in college.
Coming back to Texas was never an option. He wasn't going to lose his job because he would have portal'd. Miami gave mid-ass Carson Beck $4 million. Ewers would have gotten something similar.
He's #3 unless he's a complete disaster. They only have the three QB's plus a token mini camp invite. But he's a rich kid. $5 million is walking around money in his house. He didn't need to transfer and he'll be on a roster this fall.
he definitely would’ve gotten something similar. But the family obviously has money, that game room he was in made it pretty obvious. Maybe that isn’t the ultimate motivator for him.
If he is so rich, what's the point of playing pro football then? Not everything is about money, right? Why work? Just chill at luxurious locations throughout throughout the world.
You and others are the ones saying not everything about money. Why risk if he is set for life due to his dad's oil and gas leasing business?
But that is his decision. Why must you spend your time criticizing another man for how he lives his life when it has no bearing on yours?
Because it's a message board and it's one of the worst decisions of all time
