Obviously I'm not a UT fan. But this has nothing to do with that.
I hate to see him end up at UT. I think the kid had a TON of potential and, like said above, could be better than Peyton or Eli.
Unfortunately, UT does not have a great history of developing players. And DOES have a proven track record of ruining good QBs. This coaching staff has not had a chance to ruin a good QB prospect, ( btw who were these good ones that they ruined ? ) now it appears they have at least two of them, will be interesting to see what happens. Chris Simms, Major Applewhite, Vince Young, Colt McCoy to name a few. Maybe ruined is a strong word but all of those guys had all the potential in the world and should have gone on to great careers. Of course it's conceivable that not all of them would pan out but no UT quarterback in recent history has really panned out in the pros.
"Life is a matter of luck and the odds of success are in no way enhanced by extreme caution." - Erich Topp, German U-boat Commander, 1943.
When in doubt, set the hook.

Good get for the horns, they'll probably get a few more guys they may not have gotten if Arch wasn't going there. And me being selfish I'm hoping it helps youT be more competitive against the Aggies and they have great games, the current horns would lose by a couple td's to the Ags and most of the SEC.

It's hard to outbid TX. They suck but they got money.

Hate you break your heart, but if Ewers lights it up he'll go pro after his Jr. year. If he is less than stellar then it'll be Manning's job to win. He ( Manning) knows that he'll redshirt his freshman year. So there will only be one season overlap, if that's our biggest problem at that time I'll be thrilled.

He won’t help them as much as they hope he does, he may help them beat Vandy when they get to the SEC.

So the reason those guys did not become great NFL QB's is because Texas ruined them, gotcha
