That doesn't necessarily mean that Jurkovec is a better option, however.
the current QB simply can't do the job, due to physical limitations.
Maybe there's somewhere better, though - Devin Leary? Someone else?
Between Ewers and Manning, my guess is that the backup will transfer. At this point I'd take either of them over any of the other options being discussed.
No one is going to be perfect. Every team on the schedule had an advantage at QB this year. They absolutely have to take someone.
He seems like a reasonable candidate: good recruit who showed out reasonably well in limited time but ended up sandwiched between the top overall/QB recruit in the class before and after him.
Watched him at Lake Travis. He didn't play quarterback until the starter got hurt. He never beat anybody out at Texas.
