Dolphins Rookie QB Quinn Ewers Struggles in NFL Preseason Debut vs Bears

Quinn Ewers, the former Texas Longhorns quarterback and seventh-round pick by the Miami Dolphins in the 2025 NFL Draft, had a disappointing NFL preseason debut against the Chicago Bears. Despite early hype from his training camp performance, Ewers completed only 5 of 18 passes for 91 yards, with no touchdowns and two critical fumbles, drawing significant criticism from fans and analysts. His struggles included inaccurate throws, missed connections, and costly turnovers that nearly led to a Bears game-winning score. While some fans and commentators call for patience and development time, others express skepticism about his readiness and decisions to enter the draft early rather than continuing at the college level. The Dolphins will look for improvement from Ewers in the remaining preseason games against the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars, as he competes to secure a roster spot and potentially move ahead of Zach Wilson on the depth chart. This challenging debut underscores the steep learning curve for Ewers transitioning to the professional level.
