Greg McElroy Supports Quinn Ewers at Texas

As Texas prepares for their College Football Playoff match against Clemson, ESPN analyst Greg McElroy argues that starter Quinn Ewers should remain the team's quarterback, despite calls for Arch Manning to take over. Citing a scene from 'Mean Girls,' McElroy suggests that fans should stop trying to rush Manning into the spotlight, emphasizing that he will develop into a great player in time. While acknowledging Manning's potential and mobility, McElroy believes that using him situationally, particularly in the red zone, could be beneficial; however, he stresses that Ewers is essential for the team's success in crucial playoff games. He warns that relying on Manning as a full-time starter against tough competition could be detrimental to the Longhorns' offense, which may need to rely heavily on passing to win. McElroy's analysis highlights the balance of excitement around Manning's potential and the need for patience as he grows into his role.
