What?

All of these college guys suck

Moore, 25 year old sub 6’ Chambliss, mid Sayin, etc.

Based on his body of work so far is he a top 3 pick? Especially in a draft with a dozen or more really proven players? And would we even be having this conversation if his last name wasn’t Manning


I don’t have any issue with Arch. I think he’s a good kid and I generally pull for him to do good (won’t be the case in November). But I think he’s just a good college quarterback, not generational, just good.

I think he’s in record saying he’s playing at UT next year

I confess to not having watched him a lot. But I think he’ll definitely be drafted, but I’m not yet convinced he’ll be a top ten pick or even a first rounder.


Look, I get why this board says stuff like this, it's CFB focused. But think about the types of guys going high in the draft. Anthony Richardson went 4th overall. He started 13 games in college. JJ McCarthy went 10th. Zach Wilson went 2nd. Trey Lance went 3rd. None of these dudes were world beaters in college, and none of them were named Manning. The NFL drafts for traits and upside, not just college production. Arch is big and fast and is in the most football-royalty family there is. He will 100% go in the top 10 (whether this year or next year).

I don’t know if he will be a franchise QB (if we define that as a productive starter for 5+ years with the same team) in the NFL.

I do respect him, though. It takes a hell of a lot more than a last name to be the starting QB at Texas, and if he does nothing more than that it will be impressive.

No. He wouldn’t have been recruited by Texas out of high school but for his name. There are tons of kids every Friday night playing 2A ball doing what he did.

He hasn’t really proven anything at UT either. I’m not saying he’s bad, he’s not, but he’s massively overhyped.

He will go to the Dolphins or Jets.

But it will be mainly due to his name and projected success.

Because if you’ve watched him play last year and this season, then you know he’s not a top 10 pick.

It's probably for the best because at the moment, he looks like a 4th/5th rounder.

Think the Falcons had a golden opportunity until this last week. They can probably win their self out of the Manning race now.

Yes, the last name made Chris Simms a 6’4” 220 lb. physical prototype who stayed in the NFL for seven years.

The last name, man. Just the last name.

I was a walk-on at Bama with Scott Hunter’s son. I don’t think he ever took a snap in four seasons - certainly not a meaningful one.

When you come out the womb with basically NFL starter or bust expectations (lottery odds), most people who never amounted to anything athletically forget how difficult it is just to be the starter of a major college program. But I don’t.

Arch is a glorified game manager. He’s going to get the JJ McCarthy treatment though and someone is going to waste a first round pick on him.

After today, I think the Titans have seen enough of Cam Ward. He isn't an NFL QB. We shall see. They may win 3 games
