Is it me or is ESPN way way way too soft on Arch? Does it have to do with his two uncles being employed there? He’s TERRIBLE.

They’re terrified of saying a single bad word. In bed with the Mannings. It’s all unfortunate.

The commentators were talking about how ass he was for the entire second half, idk what more people want (tbf I don’t watch the halftime or postgame stuff so idk what they’re saying there)

Sunk cost fallacy. The emperor is not wearing pants, but you can’t tell him because you will be beheaded.

The entire Manning family sucks, and has since 1970. Sincerely, a Southern Miss and Florida alumni

If his last name wasn’t Manning he’d have been benched already

Don’t take anything from ESPN seriously. Remember: they’re partners with the SEC and regardless, their goal is always oriented towards “engagement” first and foremost. Being Arch Truthers fulfills all kinds of mandates there.

Look at other sportswriters and sites and you’d find there’s always been a ton of skepticism around his bonafides and that chorus will only grow this year.
