Billy, this is Arch Manning. He has some of the best arm strength and mobility that you’ll ever see in a young QB. He comes from the most talented pedigree of football to ever play. His only defect is that he’s a fucking moron
He has the ceiling to be NFL caliber at any given moment but he's inconsistent enough that I have a hard time thinking Texas is going to be able to win 4 games in December/January to win it all. He's a slightly more talented and slightly more inconsistent Carson Beck.
Broadcast earlier this season said between 0-10 yards he was the least accurate QB in the SEC and in the 100s nationally last season.
What I've seen so far this year tells me he hasn't drastically improved in that regard. He has such a glaring weakness in accuracy (and consistency) that he is a complete liability to the offense when they have to pass.
I mean, fuck, the man almost threw on interception on a pass he was throwing out of bounds. If our DB had 2" more reach we'd have had another one.
Arch needs another year starting for UT. Based on what he’s shown and comparing to other draft-eligible players, AM is not a 1st round pick. Besides he’ll make very good NIL $$ playing another year of college football.
While Arch could be standing on NFL Sunday sidelines a couple of years from now, he’d probably be limited to holding a clipboard as a backup…..,,.
Yeah he hasnt really improved at all, but a GM would see that and say "I can fix him" instead of "he doesn't have it". Might as well go to the draft now instead of wasting another year at Texas
And honestly there are several of those guys every class. I have no problem with someone thinking they can fix him as a project QB and taking him in the 3rd-5th. But people acting like he’s a top 5 pick makes me feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
Even leaving the stadium after we beat y’all I said that there’s no way we can win a chip this year.. we are just so inconsistent and give up a huge detrimental play 1-2 (or more) times every game
The only reason he’s gonna go in the first round is his last name
If he was Arch Smith he’d be a late 2 or 3rd round guy at best
I think he’ll go early cause of the hype train he’s got backing him but it also wouldn’t surprise me to see him have a slide ala Shaduer (but not as deep cause he doesn’t have the attitude issues)
We are fucked the rest of the season. If this is how we do against Mateer, just wait until we go against Trinidad in two weeks. We ain’t making it to December.
