Arch Manning just isn't good. I mean, he's not bad, but I am tired of the media pretending like he's a great talent just because of the name on his jersey. Kid shouldn't sniff the #1 overall pick.

The media will do anything else except admit they made a mistake. They're going to pretend Arch is elite until he either retires or busts.

Just look at how Brock Purdy is covered in the NFL. He's the top QB in the league according to the analytics, and you'd think his draft position would make him the perfect media narrative, but the talking heads treat him like he's mid just because they all got his projection wrong and don't want to admit it. They did the same thing to Tom Brady back in the day as well, just because he was drafted low - it took 3 Super Bowl wins before the media finally admitted that Brady was elite, and not just a system QB.

I feel like that system QB narrative dogged Brady in the media well beyond the first 3 SB’s

Brady had to leave and win in Tampa before it happened. Many considered him a HOFer but with a coaching asterisk.

I don't think I ever saw Brady more happy and completely hammered with alcohol than right after he won it all with Tampa.

Brady is the goat but I think people were talking about the other asterisk.
