What an unbelievable turnaround!

Which lucky team will draft this dark horse?

Probably just above Josh Rosen when his NFL career is over

I have been reading a lot of stuff for a while that Nix was a likely 1st rounder. He may be a good fit for the Pats if they are done with Mac Jones

Bone X would be a great fit.

I think he should be 3rd qb drafted So I’m high on him

Short and mid he has elite qualities.

Reminds me a lot of Sam Howell. Howell is better down field. But nix can get better

I have Caleb, Maye, Nix, Penix, Ewers, Sanders at least 4 going first round probably 5. Ewers fan myself and I’m worried he slips to second round because of his injury

I think he slips to round 2, but I think he was a potential 1st rounder up until recently w/ the injury. Kiper, Bleacher Report, and SI have all touted him to be a 1st rounder (pre injury). No matter, a very deep & talented group of QB's in this class, the best in years. A team can wait until day 2 and grab a good one

Ewers is a good kid and incredibly talented. As someone who has watched just about every one of his college games, his NFL coaching staff is going to decide his fate.

If he evens up going to a dysfunctional franchise with a bitter coach, he's going to flop like Vince Young.

If he can sit and learn with the full support of the coaching staff, he'll have a chance.

I think guys like Maye, Penix, and Nix can go into hard situations keep their edge, but Ewers doesn't have that moxie yet.

Washington's Penix and LSU's Jayden Daniels are favored

Backup

Dude is like 100

He’s a greedy reclassifying jerk

He got his $1M from Ohio State and bounced

I’m 80% kidding. He should never have left Texas. I never fault HS kids. The 20% is the reclassification screwed up the process for recruiting

I do think he will be good

I think Ewers is a better NFL QB than Nix

If Bill Belichick drafts him, he's as good as done.

I wouldn't mind him getting drafted rd 2 and sitting behind someone for a year to learn.
By my estimation, these are the teams that may look to draft a QB rd1 or rd 2

Cardinals (reportedly ready to move on)
Falcons (May not be happy with Ridder)
Bears (May not decide to roll w/ Fields)
Broncos (Coach wants his own guy and Wilson hasnt been terrible but a guy coach can groom may be ideal)
Vikings (Cousins contract up, and is Dobbs the long term answer?)
Raiders (Aidan O may not be the guy and new leadership may want their own guy)
Saints (Carr not long term for sure)
Giants (need a QB bad)
Patriots (likely done with Mac)
Seahawks (How long do they roll with him?
Jets (Zach not the guy and how long do they have w. Aaron?)

Thats like a dozen teams that may grab a QB early. I am not sure how long Dak in Dallas has left on his contract, but assuming that Lance never plays, I'd like to see Ewers go there maybe and sit behind Dak)

If Ewers went to Dallas, I would lose so much money.

Why's that?

[QUOTE=Floridacardguy;19148927]Why's that?[/QUOTE]

Because Frenz is a Texan and has a man crush on Ewers. His boy + his team = spending lots of money.

But it doesn't matter right now, as Ewers isnt going to declare for the draft.

What does the loss mean college fans?

[QUOTE=jplarson;19174448]What does the loss mean college fans?[/QUOTE]

Not his fault his coach is one of CFB's leading asshats. I predict a career track along the lines of Carson Palmer.

[QUOTE=jplarson;19174448]What does the loss mean college fans?[/QUOTE]

I don't think it means much. I don't think it hurts Nix, I don't think it really boosts Penix. Nix outplayed Penix. If Penix had a great game, and Nix faltered, we might see some shakeup. I think Nix is the 3rd or 4th QB off the board behind Caleb Williams and Drake Maye and possibly Jayden Daniels regardless.

I know youre not worth arguing with, but how did Nix outplay Penix?

Penix- 27/39 69% 319 Yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, -4 Rushing 315 total yards.
Nix 21/34 62%- 239 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT, 69 rushing. 308 total yards.

So Penix had more Passing Yards, More Total Yards, better completion rate. Won the game, but was out done by Nix? Simply because 3 TDs?

If you take off Nix last completion for the 63 yard TD, he had 176 Passing yards through 3+ quarters.


Look it was a great game, both played well. But Nix didnt outplay Penix.
No one is saying Penix should be drafted above Nix either.

In the end, Penix got his 2nd W against Oregon. Can't ignore that. Having said that:

[QUOTE=Soxrule111;19174588]So Penix had more Passing Yards, More Total Yards, better completion rate. Won the game, but was out done by Nix? Simply because 3 TDs?[/QUOTE]

It's true on the total yards part. Penix's 315 total yards is more than Nix's 308 yards.

Silly to ignore passing TDs. Touchdowns > Yards


[QUOTE=Soxrule111;19174588]If you take off Nix last completion for the 63 yard TD, he had 176 Passing yards through 3+ quarters. [/QUOTE]

If you remove Penix's 8 yard run, he had 3 attempts for -12 yards.

If you take off Nix's 3 touchdown passes, he had 0 touchdown passes during the game.

If you remove the 4th quarter, Oregon won 24-20.

I love these logic games. If it wasn't for those 5 plays....

OK, bro.

Nix had basically nothing down the field. Whether it was the coverage or he just took the easier checkdowns, I don't know. But the fact is the only pass he completed over 15 yards down the field was the one at the end and that was only because of prevent defense and horrid tackling. He made plays for sure, but like most of the season his yardage was from WR's doing the work after the catch. If you're really thinking he's a pro prospect, ask yourself why he's still in college

I am not a genius at math but 3TDs and 1 pick is much better than 1 TD and Pick by my estimation, it's 3 times better, so yeah, Simply because 3 TD vs 1 TD, yards and the pick being basically a wash

Couldn't cut it at Auburn
Product of a system at Oregon
If he was true NFL talent, he would have entered the Draft early and not after being a 5th year senior.

Is it fair to speculate that if he gets in the right system like Purdy did he could be successful in the NFL? Like if he finds an Oregon type system rather than an Auburn one?

Or is it a prerequisite that he had to succeed in Auburn to have a chance in the NFL? I don't follow college, maybe Auburn is a QB factory.

It's nonsense. The guy is a 1st round talent, which is why he will be drafted in the 1st round in 2024. He may fail, he may be an all time great, part of it depends on him, part of it depends on his team, and coaching. Obviously, some players are better in certain systems that suite them and their particular strengths

Agree I would take him 3rd without question.

He can sling it and he can move when he has to.

Williams
Maye
Nix
McCarthy
Penix
Tulane qb

Should go back and will be top 3 next year
Saunders
Beck
Ewers

Auburn not a QB factory. For reference, Nix went 0-4 against Georgia and 0-3 against Washington in his college career. If an NFL team decides to cater to his skill set by using a 1st round pick on him, they will be using a 1st round pick on another QB within 2-3 years. He's not that guy. Very nice college QB without a doubt. Salvaged his career through the portal.

Also laughable that Shadeur Sanders is trending to be a 1st rounder. That is the reality of the NFL Draft though. Desperation to fill that void, and considering the current play of 32 starting QB's I can see why teams do take these bad risks.

I gotcha, thank you for the clarification. From what I see, Georgia's gone 49-3 since 2020. Doesn't seem like a fair expectation for [I]anyone[/I] to beat them. Even the front runner for the 2023 NFL OROY CJ Stroud had a good game and still lost to Georgia a year ago.

Sucks for Quinn Ewers prospects I suppose, having lost to Washington. Probably why he stayed at Texas, to wash that stink off and salvage his draft stock.

I don't know how Nix will shake out in the NFL, I'm certainly no GM or talent scout so I'd rely on the feedback of people paid to do this sort of thing. Though I understand the experts get it wrong from [URL="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BradTo00.htm"]time[/URL] to [URL="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/TrubMi00.htm"]time[/URL].

It helps add some accountability to the discussion.

Too many people like to barge into player threads saying they suck only after the player has had a poor performance. Too many Captain Hindsight's out there.
