One of the biggest names in the sport has thoughts on the Texas Longhorns' quarterback situation.
Quinn Ewers is still the clear starter, but ever since the arrival of Arch Manning, nephew of Peyton and Eli, a very vocal set of football fans have been clamoring for a change under center. They got their wish when Manning entered the Longhorns' game against the Georgia Bulldogs on Oct. 19 late in the first half, albeit briefly as Ewers returned for the second half.
The debate has grown so widespread that even stars on other teams are talking about it, and not just the Longhorns' opponents. On a recent episode of his "2Legendary" podcast, Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders explained how he never thought Ewers would lose his starting job, but felt like Manning didn't have the ideal situation either..
"But I think it's tough putting Arch in this situation. Especially when momentum isn't on your side. It's really hard to ask a freshman player to do that." Sanders, son of Colorado head coach and NFL legend Deion Sanders, makes some good points in his analysis. By taking out Ewers, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian gave his team a hell of a wake-up call in showing that not even the starting quarterback is safe. The Longhorns did play better in the second half against the Bulldogs, but it was too little, too late.
Manning's day will come very soon, as Ewers is almost certainly headed to the NFL next season. For now, though, some time to learn and develop seems to be in his best interest.MORE: Texas Longhorns Have A Lot to 'Clean Up' During Bye WeekMORE: Texas Longhorns Nearly Plagued by Failure to Convert Turnovers into Touchdowns
