Arch Manning Underrated

Arch Manning is the most scrutinized player in College Football that I've ever seen. He was the Heisman favorite after only a few starts filling in for Quinn Ewers. The day he went into college people were saying he should be starting, without ever having seen him throw a pass. That is what comes with the last name Manning. All eyes are on you and when you're a quarterback you're just expected to fit into the family tree. Everybody expected greatness from the first snap, and everybody loved and still loves to judge every single thing he does for some reason. If a pass is dropped by a receiver but maybe just 3 inches off of perfect, they'll find a way to point out that pass was off. But in the NFL, with higher level qb's, there's worse passes that aren't called out. And when Arch throws a good pass, they'll say what a catch. He was at one point maybe the most overrated QB, given his lack of experience and performance based on where people were putting him. Just give the kid some credit when he does something good and shut up when it's just alright. He might be a Manning but he is still just a kid.


However, the way the past few games looked, these commentators might be real real quiet cause Arch is absolutely dealing. With a bit of wheeling. Against Arkanasas Arch was buzzing. But who cares about Arkansas when you just beat your rival Texas A&M. Arch looking mighty comfortable. And don't let Arch get comfortable. Arch walking into DKR hyping the fans up yelling come on ripping fist pumps in his suit. DONT LET HIM GET COMFORTABLE. Arch is a menace, and that Texas team is full of them. Arch is throwing touchdown bombs to his St Louis Arch brother, Ryan Wingo. Hes finding Jake Endries for YAC opportunities. He's hitting Parker Livingston up the middle of the field. He's running for 40 yard QB draw touchdowns to win games that he's saying his Grandpa texted him about. He's scoring touchdowns on 3 straight drives to beat arch-rival A&M. He's saying in the post game interviews that he didn't even play well. But yet the commentators want to mention his screen pass wasn't exactly on the numbers. Ease up fellas and enjoy greatness!


Going into next year he is going to be the Heisman favorite, both for me and for Sportsbook. For Sportsbook he is going to be because of his last name. For me, he is because what I've seen from him this year. His improvement. His upside. His first time going into an away SEC stadium to play and building on that. He got his first big win against A&M, his first big win at Texas, and now he is going to continue to roll. Don't let Tezzy in the College Football Playoff because they are starting to look comfortable and got the best wins in all of College Football, with the quarterback with the most upside in college football. He's getting used to the moment, and right now it's Arches world we just living in it.


Shouts to Mr Taafe too. Grown up in Austin, played JV-B, in high school, red shirted at UT, and had a game sealing interception to beat A&M in his last ever game at DKR. That's storybook stuff man.


By the way, what even is an Aggie?
