Arch is gonna be awful in the NFL

Anyone who keeps saying he’s the #1 pick is a moron. He’s just not that good

Arch is not going to be awful in the NFL. He might be awful in the CFL. Or Arena Football 2.

LMAO. I keep thinking his comp is Jamarcus Russel, but I remember LSU Russel being absolutely fucking elite.

u/Kdot32 Houston Cougars • LSU Tigers 7d ago

Lsu Russell would shake defenders off and throw a rocket 50 yards downfield

What??? Jamarcus was an absolute unit of a player. He was just missing a brain. But they are in no way close to comparable. If arch was arch Russell he wouldn’t even be at Texas.

I shouldn't have said comp. I meant potential comp. Like, if he got his shit completely together, he could be a dumber version of Russel.

I don't think that is actually possible. If it is, then Im tertified.

u/CorseHock69420 Oklahoma • Red River Shootout 7d ago

Jamarcus made it to the NFL without a last name

Unfortunately he feels like the biggest “shoe in” draft pick since Tim Tebow.

Maybe not a first round pick but the name alone will get him drafted if he’s in there.

But if you never play a game in the NFL are you actually awful in the NFL. I would contend that you're in a quantum superposition of being awful in the NFL and a regional HVAC commercial spokesperson until someone observes you being awful in the NFL and the wave function collapses.

The thing is I think he has some talent, but his mechanics are so fucking terrible.

It's crazy he hasn't fixed them given who he's related to

u/TonyTheSnowman Texas Longhorns 7d ago

That's what coaching is for. Idk why Sark got this offensive guru attached to him. Anyone that has consistently watched us during his tenure knows how terrible of a play caller he is and that the overall talent tends to underperform.

u/The_Ghost_of_TK9 Oklahoma Sooners • Utah Utes 7d ago

2020 Alabama Crimson Tide. I think they have an argument as the greatest offense in history.

5

u/TonyTheSnowman Texas Longhorns 7d ago

Could that be just he had so much talent, that even he couldn't fuck it up? Waddle, Devonta, and Najee? I assume a great o-line.

1

u/The_Ghost_of_TK9 Oklahoma Sooners • Utah Utes 4d ago

Might be the greatest offensive line in CFB history.

Evan Neal, Landon Dickerson, Alex Leatherwood.

If his name was Arch Mannion we'd be talking about a day 3 sleeper with what he's actually shown.

u/nbunkerpunk Texas Longhorns • Paper Bag 7d ago

I knew we were fucked when I saw the article about Arch considering staying another year. At that moment I knew it was worse than even I thought. And I've been a hater two years running now.

u/BeanserSoyze Texas Longhorns 7d ago

He's a physical specimen so at least someone is taking an "I can fix him" flyer on him in the top 10

u/callmebatman14 7d ago

Anthony Richardson was picked number 3. Someone will take Arch in 2nd round at minimum just because of this name

2

u/at2wells Indiana Hoosiers • Navy Midshipmen 7d ago

Imagine lining up every jr/sr QB in the NCAA and picking Arch over all the rest of them

1

u/TheDarkGrayKnight Washington Huskies • Dordt Defenders 7d ago

I'll be surprised if he's even the first QB drafted.

u/soonerjohn06 Oklahoma • Midwestern State 6d ago

Go take a look at Manning vs. Mateer season stat line and cover up the names, then see if you can figure out which is which
