The last Arch pick was horrifically bad, he just panicked. Literally just chuck that out of bounds or take the sack and the games going to OT

Dude does not have the poise of his uncles at all

The bigger issue is his lack of ability to see the field. He doesn’t process things quickly and doesn’t really know when he’s taking a stupid risk vs a smart one.

I think people forget how much of a fuckup everyone considered Eli for like the first 3 years of his career lol. He used to blindly chuck picks off his backfoot all the time

Eli went to a school with no talent and turned that into the #1 overall pick where he then won two super bowls and two super bowl mvps. Eli always had it. Not a single Eli college teammate played in the NFL

Arch is surrounded by talent at a blue chip school

This is not me knocking Eli. He’s clearly a good QB. I’m just laughing at the comment that he doesn’t have the poise of his uncles, because one of those uncles didn’t always possess his characteristic poise. It’s still something that can be improved upon

I see Arch Manning being like Eli. Still can win Super Bowls.

He doesn't have the makings of a varsity athlete

He needs another year before going to the NFL in my opinion but it won't happen.

Fuck that. I hope Sark tells him to take his chances in the draft. He has plateaued, and I don't see him getting much better.

I vaguely remember people calling for him to start over ewers last year. I'm not sure what the fuck they were smoking but it must of been strong.

He does, but he risks millions by doing so. Right now, he's still got the media behind him, and is a top rated QB in this year's draft class. If he stays another year and still plays poorly, he's likely dropping by several rounds.

Yeah it's one of those damned if you do damned if you don't moments.
