Steve SarkisianThe Longhorns’ HC must make one of the most difficult decisions of his career: Should he continue to use starting quarterback Quinn Ewers or should the Arch Manning era begin? Fans and commentators are desperate for clarification as the CFB playoff match has already begun, but Sarkisian’s devotion to Ewers continues to influence the story. Seems like Sarkisian is making Ewers a star to cover up his bad decisions.

In fact, Wescott Eberts, a website producer for the Burnt Orange Nation team, posted on his X account on December 22nd: “Steve Sarkisian said Quinn Ewers could be heard on both of Jaydon Blue’s touchdown runs.” Is the quarterback actually contributing to the Texas vs. Clemson game or is this just a cover-up? For those who don’t know, according to Sark, Ewers made changes that were needed at the line of scrimmage during the game against Clemson. It helped Blue achieve success with scoring plays, such as a remarkable 38-yard run and a later 77-yard touchdown run. And that contributed to Texas’ 38-24 CFB playoff victory.

It just goes to show that Quinn is a big favorite of the Texas head coach. Even if we believe what he says, there’s no denying that Texas running back Jaydon Blue scored those touchdowns. It just means Sark puts Quinn Ewers at the center of attention. It’s fine, but how can anyone forget Ewers’ poor play? Ewers’ 2024 season was marked by a combination of strong performances and crucial errors under duress, totaling 9 interceptions and 25 touchdowns. And those back-to-back interceptions in the game against Georgia that had a big impact on Texas’ performance. Unforgettable for a Texas fan.

But you can’t ignore the fact that Texas earned its second straight CFP berth under his leadership and had its season hampered by ailments, most notably an oblique strain. The most surprising thing is that Sark has highlighted Ewers’ tenacity and influence on the team beyond recent on-field performances to protect his position.”Quinn is a great player. The only reason he had some hiccups this season was because of his oblique injury. His fight also inspired the team to give their bestSarkisian said.

The question, however, is whether the Texas head coach can keep this quarterback after he has done so much. Because Ewers’ future is already the subject of speculation.

Will Quinn Ewers stay with the Longhorns?

Speculation about Quinn Ewers’ future makes the issue even more complex for the Texas head coach. The quarterback is reportedly considering whether to transfer to another university like Notre Dame or declare for the NFL Draft. However, Ewers has dismissed these rumors. “I’m not sure yet. I’m just trying to win these (college football playoff) games. I didn’t think of anything beyond that,“Quinn explained.

It just shows that the top quarterback has no intention of leaving Texas. But according to CFB insiders, the Texas quarterback should play for colleges other than Texas if he believes in himself. If not, he is eligible to enter the NFL Draft. Because some people believe that over-employing Ewers, despite his struggles, is hindering Manning’s growth and wasting a valuable opportunity to prepare him for the big moment.

Whether that’s true or not, Manning has shown potential but has largely been limited to playing time, often in scenarios that are predictable and run-heavy. Now fans and commentators are also wondering why Manning hasn’t been given more opportunities because of this limited experience, especially given Ewers’ struggles. Let’s see how Sarkisian solves his quarterback dilemma now.
