🏈 Steve Spurrier to @pat_dooley about QB Arch Manning: (Overrated?)

Umm maybe they didn't think Manning was quite ready?

Right. So what changed where they think he's now a Championship quarterback and Heisman frontrunner?

Spurrier is a trip!!!! He’s hilarious. Really good guy away from the cameras, him being an ass is an act. He’s got a million one liners and a really quick whit.

Honestly, I think Spurrier is right. Manning has already been annointed a Heisman winner and National Championship winner. What has he shown... that he can get good stats against MSU, La Monroe and UTSA? Wow!! Impressive!

I don't know which is more eye opening...Bray Hubbard is rated above Archie Manning or that Kayden Proctor is only rated 43.

When TX was going through their 7-7's last summer, around this time actually, Arch was on the same level as Ty. Neither were consistent, both had problems with reads: neither were ready.

I don't know what the fall holds for either. We all know what Ty is capable of because we hear things from the practice fields. I've not heard a lot out of TX so far this summer.

Arch Manning has secretly run a 2.7 40 yard dash and threw a football 127 yards from a sitting position. He is projected to pass for 7823 yards in 2025 with 142 TDs and 0 INTs.

Some are saying that LSU QB Nussmerier is better!
By the way, this isn't coming from FB either.

We need a thread on sec QBs and projections of performance. I might do one tonight

Manning will get loads of attention. But seems a decent sort.

But i already hate texas. Now... even more!!!!

 

[Justneedme81]

I don't see Arch as the most dangerous QBs to worry bout. I just think he's good at lot of things but still ...

So if Texas loses 2 or 3 games this year, will they blame Arch or will they blame the coach?

That's a lot of pressure to put on a player who hasn't really had any significant playing time. If he keeps a level head and doesn't let it get to him, he may be OK. But if he's like MOST guys his age, it'll start to get to him and he'll try to overcompensate if he makes a mistake and may start spiraling.

My best guess is they point to chemistry in the locker room mixed with the portal as the leading factor.

I heard a few times how their locker room was a bit of a mess last year. That's no different than a lot of schools. The question boils down to if those attitudes have 'weeded' themselves out of the program. I don't believe you'll find any TX fans who point to Bond as a positive addition.
