While rookie Quinn Ewers <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-quinn-ewers-rough-start-poor-debut-bears">delivered a much-needed bounce-back performance for the Dolphins</a>, longtime insider Joe Schad <a href="https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/sports/nfl/dolphins/2025/08/16/miami-dolphins-overreaction-detroit-lions/85666266007/" rel="noopener">urged caution</a> about drawing sweeping conclusions.</p><p>Ewers, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-miami-quinn-ewers-shocking-slip">a seventh-round pick out of Texas</a>, had stumbled in his preseason debut against the Chicago Bears, completing just five of 18 passes for 91 yards. Against Detroit, however, he looked like a different player. Ewers went 11 of 17 for 116 yards and tossed two touchdown passes to undrafted rookie Theo Wease Jr., leading Miami on three scoring drives in the second half.</p><p>It was the type of showing fans had been waiting to see, but Schad reminded observers that development takes time. His message echoed head coach Mike McDaniel, who praised both Ewers and veteran Zach Wilson while refusing to crown anyone based on a single game.</p><p>“The journey of a quarterback is being able to take whatever reps you get and play your game,” McDaniel told reporters after the game. “This was a good day for both of those guys. Quinn made the most of his opportunities, and Zach did some nice things in the first half.”</p><h2><b>Quinn Ewers is pushing Zach Wilson in the Dolphins’ backup quarterback race</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Dolphins-2_f694d7.jpg"><figcaption>Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Wilson, acquired in the offseason after stints with the Jets and Broncos, started and played the first half. He finished 15 of 23 for 151 yards and a touchdown, continuing his steady progress in the competition to back up Tua Tagovailoa.</p><p>Ewers acknowledged his rocky start and credited Miami’s coaches for helping him reset.</p><p>“Game 1, we kind of got our jitters out, and out here it felt like we were just able to go out and play our game and perform at a good level,” Ewers said. “There’s obviously a lot of room to grow. I missed a couple throws, missed a couple reads, but there’s a lot of stuff to learn from this game.”</p><p>For now, Wilson remains the clear No. 2 quarterback while Ewers is expected to hold the third spot. Still, his improved play turned heads inside and outside the organization. Schad’s perspective highlighted the larger point: Miami values patience and process, not overreaction, in shaping its quarterback depth chart.</p><p>The Dolphins close the preseason next week against Jacksonville, with both Wilson and Ewers expected to see more opportunities.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

One player that got a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dolphins-news-quinn-ewers-assessment-tua-tagovailoa">chance to show what he’s got is quarterback Quinn Ewers</a>, a household name in college football who was drafted in the seventh round by the Dolphins this spring.</p><p>Ewers entered the game in the second half after Tua Tagovailoa got some brief work in the first quarter and Zach Wilson took the backup reps for Mike McDaniel and company.</p><p>It’s safe to say that things <a href="https://x.com/DavidFurones_/status/1954620330594500788" rel="noopener">didn’t go as expected or hoped</a> for Ewers in his NFL preseason debut. His first four passes fell incomplete before he fumbled on a sack inside his own five-yard line.</p><p>Things got a little bit better, as the Texas product was able to lead a short touchdown drive, but they ended on a sour note. With the game tied and the Dolphins driving just past midfield, the former five-star recruit lost another fumble on fourth down late in the fourth quarter. The game ended in a tie at 24, as there is no overtime in the preseason.</p><p>In the end, the final stats are not pretty. Ewers finished 5-for-18 passing with 91 yards and a pair of fumbles lost, so it wasn’t a great impression for a guy trying to move up the depth chart.</p><p>In front of Ewers, both <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dolphins-news-zach-wilson-vs-quinn-ewers-battle-first-depth-chart-winner">Wilson and Tagovailoa had solid outings</a>, so their grip on the first two spots on the depth chart seems even more secure than before the game.</p><p>The good news for Ewers is that he still has two more preseason games to continue to improve and get more reps against NFL defenses. Miami will take on the Detroit Lions on Aug. 16 before closing out the preseason slate against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Aug. 23. There is a chance that Tagovailoa sits out of those games entirely, so there could be even more reps on the table for Ewers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Once heralded as a Patrick Mahomes-style playmaker outside of the pocket, Wilson is best described now as a reclamation project, with fans wondering if even Mike McDaniel can unlock any measure of his once-sky-high potential.</p><p>And in the other? Well that would be the former top-overall high school prospect in the nation, who bounced from Ohio State to Texas in college and ultimately slipped to the seventh round after a rough pre-draft process back in April.</p><p>Who will ultimately earn the honor? Ultimately, that’s hard to say, but right now, Wilson earned the QB2 spot on the Dolphins’ initial depth chart, even if Ewers <a href="https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/sports/nfl/dolphins/2025/08/06/miami-dolphins-depth-chart-roster-training-camp-news/85516794007/" rel="noopener">has been coming on, too</a>, as Joe Schad explained for the Palm Beach Post.</p><p>“Ewers has really come on in the last 10 days, but Zach Wilson is the backup,” Schad wrote. “Ewers will try to make the roster with an impressive preseason.”</p><p>Now, on paper, this initial depth chart placement makes sense as not only do veterans usually get preferential treatment on the depth chart, at least initially, but these summer depth charts are put together by a team’s PR staff, rather than the actual coaches.</p><p>With that in mind, considering Tagovailoa’s past issues with concussions, resulting in three different quarterbacks earning starts for Miami last fall, the Dolphins really need to make sure they have enough arms ready to roll heading into the fall, as chances are they might actually need to play. Even if Ewers ends up as QB3, having two reserves with some pop should make Dolphins fans sleep a little sounder with Week 1 less than a month away.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The new Longhorns starting quarterback has attracted copious attention and acclaim since he first arrived in Austin. Fans have waited two years to see him get the reins. While he sat behind Quinn Ewers, the comparisons were never-ending.</p><p>Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian made it clear there was no QB controversy, but the public still dissected each player. Even though Ewers is now playing for the Miami Dolphins in the NFL, the juxtaposition has not stopped. A Longhorns wide receiver, without outright criticizing the squad’s previous signal-caller, <a href="https://x.com/ontexasfootball/status/1951072081656897913" rel="noopener">highlighted an obvious difference</a> between the two former five-star recruits.</p><p>“One had baby wheels and one has super wheels,” DeAndre Moore Jr. joked when talking to the media after the squad’s first fall camp practice, per the OnTexasFootball X account. A reporter then asked the junior to clarify “which one is which.”</p><p>“Oh, you know,” Moore said while sporting a big smile. He also claimed that Manning zips the ball to receivers, while Ewers’ passes were “a little bit more of a pillow.” If one has a question for the Anaheim, California native, then they are probably going to get an honest answer. Moore did not sound like he had an axe to grind. He was simply sharing his opinion about the QBs’ respective playing styles and traits.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">DeAndre Moore on the differences between Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning <a href="https://t.co/3YjoXFi5IB">pic.twitter.com/3YjoXFi5IB</a></p><p>— OnTexasFootball (@ontexasfootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/ontexasfootball/status/1951072081656897913?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 1, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>Arch Manning brings a different element to Texas offense</b></h2><p>Though, considering the 19-year-old did find some success with Ewers last season — 39 catches for 456 yards and seven touchdowns — maybe he could have been a little less forthcoming. In all seriousness, though, there is no arguing the point that Moore made about the stark difference in speed.</p><p>Arch Manning, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ncaa-football/texas-football-news-arch-mannings-dad-gets-brutally-honest-peyton-elis-influence">nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning</a>, displayed his impressive mobility when filling in for an injured Quinn Ewers (oblique) in the Longhorns’ blowout win versus UTSA on Sept. 14. He broke loose for a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ncaa-football/texas-football-news-arch-mannings-td-replacing-quinn-ewers-fans-bonkers">dazzling 67-yard rushing touchdown</a>, letting everyone know that he is not a typical Manning.</p><p>Ewers posted -59 yards in 37 games with Texas, so Moore is not exactly dropping a bombshell here. What the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-quinn-ewers-assessment-tua-tagovailoa">Dolphins’ rookie seventh-round draft pick</a> did do, though, is help restore the Longhorns to excellence. He threw for 9,128 yards and 68 touchdowns, earning two Second-Team All-conference selections. There is no guarantee Manning boosts the program past the College Football Playoff Semifinals, a place fans are quite familiar with after the last two seasons.</p><p>Moreover, the 21-year-old may fail to meet the towering expectations scouts and fans have set for him. Attaining success in the SEC is a grueling job. He is immensely gifted, however. If Manning is going to thrive on the field and contend for the Heisman Trophy, then he will need to exhibit tremendous chemistry with his wide receiving corps. DeAndre Moore Jr. is definitely a name to watch.</p><p>The 19-year-old has apparently been more vocal during drills and seems determined to take the next step in his development. He is clearly a huge Arch Manning fan. If these two impressive athletes can gel together in 2025, then Texas football should once again be positioned for national title contention.</p><p>Quinn Ewers helped lay down the foundation, and now his successor aims to complete the task. Two different methods, but ideally, a proud gridiron tradition will carry on in Austin.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
