Covid redshirt

LSU and Texas were stacked at QB

NIL even though Arch didn’t need it

Arch is a 21 year old Sophomore football player.

In reality he’s a 21 year senior.

"GM's" are glorified recruiting assistants. "GM's" do not decide who get offered scholarships.

Head coaches and asst coaches do.

Not saying this is not true, but that’s a bad look for him. If he is as good as advertised, it shouldn’t have mattered. He didn’t beat out Ewers. But, the media has been fawning over him just because of his last name. It just has complete letdown written all over it. He may end up being a star, who knows but he is hyped up almost to something that nobody can live up to.

Ewers was a higher rated recruit than Arch. I think only Trevor Lawrence was rated higher than Ewers. Newman gets destroyed in the trenches when they get deep in the playoffs. They never have enough beef.

So NIL had more to do with him going to Texas than him going to LSU?

Name a Manning that has won a college national championship. I will hang up and listen.


FWIW, thus far Peyton is only one that had a realistic shot as the others who played college ball did at Ole Miss.
