Your take on the meaning behind drafting QB Quinn Ewers!

In the 2025 NFL draft, our Miami Dolphins used one of their sixth-round picks to select former Texas Longhorns starting quarterback Quinn Ewers. Then came various posts suggesting that the team had directly selected Ewers as a replacement for current starter Tua Tagovailoa, or at least as a stopgap if he were to suffer further injuries, forcing the team to move on from him sooner rather than later. As with any NFL rumor, there may be some truth behind it, but just as often, they are merely something for someone to speculate on or falsely claim to gain clicks on their bogus stories.

With that in mind, last week I asked the following question:

Do you think that Quinn Ewers is someone the Dolphins are considering as a possible replacement for Tua Tagovailoa after the 2026 season, or do you believe they only see him as a potential long-term answer as a backup quarterback?

Below is a random selection of your thoughts and answers to the PQOTD-

FrancescoITA asks a good question. I don’t know, but it’s at least an idea that the media sells about what specific teams are looking for.

“but as a quarterback that they could develop into a long-term backup”.

Is that a mythological creature ? That you draft QBs, you develop them, and ‘pof’ you have your backup QB for years… I am not sure that this thing exists (Except of course exceptions …)

twinssdfan sees him as a good player, but also, who knows?

A good player, I personnally wanted McCord but I’m fine with this pick. He could be the next Purdy who Knows. Glad he is here instead of Jets.

holland182.0 thinks the selection was all about his hunting prowess.

I think he was selected merely because he had such a nice collection of deer heads on the wall. But I don’t see him as a long-term solution at backup much less as a starter

phinette is confused. Well, I suspect not in general, but at least about this one dude.

How ironic that a QB with so many perceived flaws managed to remain QB1 at Texas and QB2 is heralded as the second coming. I’m so confused. ‍♀️

Glen55 suggests that I may, in fact, not be a complete idiot. Appreciate it!

I have the same take as the author: picking a QB in the 7th round is not a sign the team wants to replace Tua. If anything, it points in the opposite direction, that they’re looking for a guy they can train to be a solid backup.

FlyerFinFan believes that taking a chance on a guy in the 7th is a good gamble with only upside. I have to agree.

Doesn’t hurt to swing in the 7th I would have been ok with a QB anywhere from the 5th onwards. Who knows but let’s hope he can be a gem.

toscana jones sees Ewers as a potential long-term backup, and anything else we get from him after that is gravy.

Potential long term backup QB, everything else is possible but not probable.

Dolfanjoe has analogies, and I, too, sometimes like to play a lotto scratch off here and there.

So we went to the 7 eleven and got a 2 dolla scratch off. It has a bit of Slurpee spilled on it and we are going to have to wait and see if it is a winner. Afterall you can buy a 30 dolla ticket in the first round, try and scratch it but its still wet behind the ears and all the writing comes off ! Now you spent 30 buckaroo’s and cant even read the code. You did not pick well………… But that 2 dolla ticket has no pressure and you can let it dry for a season at least, might not even have to take it out of the drawer. Still have that 15 dolla ticket you picked up in NY and ready to cash it in if Your original 50 dolla ticket gets lost or damaged. Teach develop and hope for the best ! Hell even the Fin’s could get lucky sometime !

MIAMI235 thinks the Dolphins possibly saw the value late in the draft and pulled the trigger. This seems highly possible, as many projected him much higher in the draft.

Perhaps, it was as simple as a value play in the 7th round, with the idea of rolling the dice and see what he will develop into in Miami.

Spok507 took the cop out, and yet it is not wrong.

While ’you never know’ could be considered a cop-out answer, it’s actually the only real answer. Odds are against, but… I actually watched a game (maybe it was their bowl game?) and I thought Ewers was pretty good. Poised, in control, good arm and good decisions. In 3 years at Texas, he had 737 completions for 9,128 passing yards 68 Passing TDs + 8 Rushing TDs and 24 INTs. I’d say that’s a passable record. TX went to the playoff semi-finals his last two years, so he was able to drive the bus well enough for the team to succeed. And he managed to keep Arch Manning on the sidelines for a couple years despite the pedigree and national attention. Whether or not a college QB can make it in the NFL has more to do with his situation than his actual attributes shown during college. Brady wasn’t highly touted at all, yet he fell into the perfect situation with Belichick. Even Mahomes wouldn’t be the QB we see now if he was playing for the Panthers or someone else. Landing in the right place, with the right coach, system and philosophy is the key. Can Ewers be the next in that line? Maybe, maybe not. It won’t be immediate, and it’s extremely rare, but it does happen. Nobody thought Purdy would be where he is today. I watched him at Iowa State and thought he was good but never really thought his game would translate to the NFL quite like it has. When Tua inevitably misses a few games next season, it will either be Ewers or Wilson who have the opportunity to make their case. I’m really hoping one of them can.

That’s our random ten comments for this evening. I think there is at least a consensus that he might be something great, but also nothing at all, because none of us can read the future; if we could, we would be stupid rich by now. As always, thank you to each of you who took the time to read and answer our PQOTD.
