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



This is where I am with him. Look at his stats against good teams and they're OK. Solid for 20 years ago but not great now.

27 TDs last year. 4 against 3-win San Jose. 3 against 2-in Sam Houston. 4 against 2-win Arkansas with an interim coach.

This year 37/56 for 396 1TD 2INT against OSU and Tennessee.

4 years in and I would expect a little more production.

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?


Who?

Am I crazy or does Arch Manning look like a pretty good college QB, not good or really good and forget great. The fact that he is doing this with an elite supporting cast surrounding him and an offensive minded coach is damning. He’s way more JJ McCarthy than Joe Burrow.

Jesus are there any examples of guys that got drafted early based on potential alone that actually worked out


Josh Allen? I’m struggling for many others. Maybe Flacco?

Good question. I’ve wondered that but let’s see how the season plays out. We should have a better idea in a month or so.

If Texas has a decent backup we should see him get playing time sooner rather than later with their schedule.

I believe their backup is Raja Bell’s son who was a consensus 5* with unreal measurables. It would be interesting to see what happens.

I genuinely don’t understand the psychology of people, I really don’t



First you say
quote:

I confess to not having watched him a lot

But then you have the stones to say this
quote:

I’m not yet convinced he’ll be a top ten pick or even a first rounder



Well Einstein, if you haven’t watched him play, how can you arrive at this conclusion?!!


You don’t have to have an answer or an opinion for everything. Sometimes it’s okay to just not know something or to just keep your thoughts to yourself


Yes, I know this is a ‘me’ problem. I just don’t understand the psychology behind it

they're winning games with him and he's an added draw due to the name....so yes, they'll want him back

You’re right. He sucks.

I didn't say he sucks (though I do think he sucks, relatively speaking).

I just didn't agree with the assertion that he's "done very well with the expectations."

He's never won anything. His team is currently undefeated in spite of him. Texas missed the playoffs last year.

I’m sure everyone here would have ended up the starting QB for a major college program if only they had been born with the last name Manning.
If his last name wasn't Manning, he would not be starting for a major college program. I don't know why that's so hard to grasp.

This. Money is NOT an issue for this kid. In fact I think he could use another year.
