Why does everyone keep talking about Arch transferring? He's not transferring. His grandfather and dad said he's happy at Texas. Archie said Eli sat for two years, and it was the best thing for his development.
Unsubstantiated rumors that’s all.

Besides his last name, I don't get the sense of urgency from people to have him play right away

He chose Texas knowing Ewers was there
He was 3rd string all year
Next year he's the back up and Ewers hasn't been durable?
He'll be the starter in 2025 unless he's terrible and didn't develop

The other 5-star QBs:

Malachi Nelson 3rd string transferred
Dante Moore played got bench transferred
Jackson Arnold was the backup all season
Nico Iamaleava was the backup all season

Probably best to get some development

How many QBs have started day 1 and developed into a legit nfl prospect in modern FB?

Ironically, Peyton.

Fulmer put him in relatively early ..first few games of his freshman year and he was the dude the rest of the way.

That's pretty rare nowadays because top recruits all go to the same schools and there's guaranteed to be a couple of other 4 or 5-star guys in front of you.
