He really did have two passes that were unbelievably good and then three that were complete ass

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.

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…..,,.

I just don’t see it. He’s playing on one of the most talented teams in the country and looks exactly the same. He just doesn’t have it.

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.

I wouldn’t trade Taylen Green for him right now.
