Whatever the "experts" garnered from his career total of 95 pass attempts, I think they might have a glitch in their evaluation system.

If the sips don't beat the buckeyes then the Austin media will turn on him fast.

Other things we know - no Manning has ever come out early and Archie always manipulates the draft for the benefit of his family.


Now we'll see.

Arch will be decent but I was going to post this at 10 am. Staff please delete this post. I'm embarrassed.

Arch was bad today, but the offensive play calling also didn't help him. That was a terrible game plan.

The silver lining for Arch is the pressure to ever win a Heisman in his college career is completely over and he can focus on academics and not sports.

But no, Conner didn't. Being mentioned as a potential Heisman hopeful is completely different than the conversation around Arch and the cult following you cow worshipers have given him. It's hard to remember a player in recent history with the unearned hype of Arch Manning. I'm sure he's a great kid, but people like you have set him up for complete failure.

I can't ever remember a QB getting the kind of hype without the tape that this kid is getting. It's just unreal. It feels like this kid is getting set up for an absolute meltdown.

He may very well have a great season; I don't have a crystal ball but good lord.
Preseason No. 1, Heisman lists, talk of NFL teams tanking and/or trading the bathroom sink for him. Is it just me or is this just absolutely crazy?!?

I've been an Aggie for decades. I get the t.u. hype machine every year. I get that the kid has a last name/pedigree but, good lord, it's just insane what's being predicted for this kid as unproven as he is.


You must not have been around for the Brent Musburger "little gunslinger" love affair.

ABC analysis at halftime just now says it wasn't on Arch. That was more Patricia vs Sark, and Sark failed. Not Arch.

Powlus had never played a down, and his hype was ridiculous compared to Arch's.


Beano was the only one hyping Powlus like that and was roundly criticized and mocked for it.
Not a comparable situation to Manning who seems to be getting crowned by EVERYONE.


In fairness, there wasn't the lazy, groupthink media then like there is now.

The play calling was designed around him not being very good.

This happens at sip all of the time.

I think he'll be a very good QB, but all the hype he is getting im not sure anyone could ever live up to. He has looked pretty mediocre in games against good teams, but he's QB1 now and has an entire camp under his belt. We will see.

No way he would live up to the hype.

A lot of it wasn't just about his uncles, it was about his dad. The Cooper Manning Mystique is crazy, and only gotten bigger since Arch got to high school.

Their evaluation system began and ended with his last name - Manning. The dude played 2A ball in Louisiana. I don't care who his dad or uncles are, if you aren't competing against strong opponents, you aren't going to get better. Any hype around Arch is purely driven by his last name. I hope he's a disaster for tu this year, not because I don't like the kid but because it will throw the sips and their fanbase into disarray.

I would suspect that anyone who couldn't beat out Quinnie might not be best of the best.

Q had a great arm but a lame head.

Yes! And, Quinn was playing injured for a significant part of his last season

tu talking about it also.

Quote:

The bigger concern is arch and his throwing motion change. If his issue is that he loses his mechanics when nervous, he's done. That's a death knell for any qb. That's the entire thing for me. It simply can't be his kryptonite. If it truly is, you'd have to move on. It's the equivalent of a kicker's yips. The problem is he had decent time more often than not. It was almost he was trying to win the game with each throw. The real issue will be if arch has a permanent mental thing in games, we're cooked because there's zero chance sark benches him.

What is super concerning for me is that maybe we now know why arch wasn't put in last year for a 50% injured quinn. This is what has me thinking it's not a one game thing. Yesterday wasn't a qb struggling against this elite defense. OSU will lose games this year if the other team can score. The defense was okay. We were worse than they were good. Hell, aggies using lsu reed would have scored more yesterday.

Something bigger feels off to me and I don't normally leave bad games like this. Maybe it's as simple as arch did this to arch vs the defense dictating it. Sark trying to mask it with they were elite at disguising coverage still is insufficient. With the exception of 2 drives late, his mechanics and throws were off all game regardless of coverage or pressure. Yeesh!

The hype about Arch is propped up by fiction.

Holy ****

The replay they just showed of one of his TDs clearly shows how bad his throwing motion is. It's horrible.

It's really bad. Worse than I thought.

No this thread will age just fine. He's going to be average. Good defenses are going to eat him up.

Guys like LB12 exclaim anything that sinks around in their caverns as fact, often with all caps and PERIODTs. If you have a differing opinion, you're the enemy. Synapses as dense as their hairline

Arch was terrible to start the year, but ended up with a top 20 QBR (higher than Reed)

Man - I get some peoples need to justify, but tu finished strong, thanks in part to us and Arch not a horrid QB. He's improving and Reed will also.

We just need to BTHOtu in 2026.

You do see my comment on Arch is from September. Right

You yourself just stated he was terrible. You know, the same exact thing I was saying.

Thus your argument is self contradicting.

Maybe don't respond to the guy that thought he had something of merit. He does not even know the difference between interior and exterior O linemen.
