bullshite. Nobody is wasting their first round pick on a middle of the pack SEC QB just because of his last name. Wasting draft picks is a good way for a GM and coach to find themselves unemployed.


Anthony Richardson, Zach Wilson, Mitch Trubiski, Trey Lance, JJ McCarthy (NINE), Will Levis

Shall I go on?

im just not sure he has the athletic ability or the nuts to be a great QB


I don’t think athleticism is the issue. He’s not Josh Allen but he’s definitely not flat footed. His problem is he can’t make nfl level reads out of the pocket. He plays every down like the pocket is collapsing and he has to start scrambling to make some improvised throw.

It’s very odd, guys just seem to always play under their talent level for sark. Guys seem to be more productive in the NFL than they were at Texas

Top 10 for sure. I'd even wager top 5.

Hes overhyped for sure but definitely not "bad". Hes just mediocre.

he is solidly aveage. HEading into this weekend him and john mateer had practically identical numbers and I doubt anyone would call mateer anythign better than "meh".

Manning has the benefit of the most superioer genes/bloodline imagineable, an offensive minded HC that has (legitimately) engineerred some elite offenses in his time, 5* talent across the board and an elite defnese to back him up. Despite all that he is barely more than jsut "kinda good".

None of this is his FAULT, I mean he's doing as good as he possibly can. But the way the media treats him is ALMOST as bad as tebow mania from 06-09. At least tebow was actually a legit great QB, unlike arch. Some NFL team drafting him int he top 10 is going to make a monumental, program-setting-back mistake.

I would not be surprised if Arch ends up staying in school one more year

The comment I replied to was about Arch being a first rounder because of nepotism.

Everybody you mentioned was just a normal first round bust. None of them were nepo picks

GM’s waste draft picks all the time. Some team is going to talk themselves into Arch and take him top 10

Arch with a different last name was a middle of the road 4* prospect or low 4* prospect in high school.

He is playing like that now.

He's just an average QB. He's not bad, just average.

I wonder if we'll see a Brady Quinn like fall at the NFL draft where Kiper is hyping him to be #1 overall type guy and everyone keeps passing on him

He’s not good at anything. No elite traits at all

Eli 2-0 vs Tom Brady in the Super Bowl, too.

Just saying.

I remember many a poster from S. LA claiming he would be an unknown if his name wasn’t “Manning.”

I always assumed it was sour grapes since Manning’s never chose LSU.

…they were right

Disappointing yes, but lets be real, Kiffin would pay 10 mill to have Arch next year.

He probably will get drafted in first round because of his name, not on talent. Dude will never be a nfl starter.
