Arch on TV … Newman -vs- St Charles Catholic

[Pam Cummings 9827]

I'm not just underwhelmed. I'm not whelmed at all.

He's athletic and has a great arm, big fan so far even during this lame-ass game.

[Scooter Monzingo 821]

This isn’t even good high school football.

If his name was Arch Smith or Arch Jones, not sure he'd be thought of nearly as highly.  But everybody wants him and I don't know shit.

Same. He is just a HS junior though, so I suppose at this point in his development he's further along than his peers. Being 6'4" helps that ranking as well.

I just turned it back over and rewound and saw the end… why would you have your right handed QB roll to his left, so he’s forced to throw back across his body on the final throws? Not a great offensive showcase, and the Mannings will certainly want Arch to get proper coaching moving forward. I think Sarkisian and Milwee have a lot to offer. 

My biggest problem? I recorded it on YouTubeTV, so this shitshow of a game will be on my virtual DVR for the next nine months. 😩

Move him to safety

[Sgt Hulk 14331]

Was hoping to hear that he was all about the hype

[tantric superman 4668]

I have to admit, I watched it because I'm good friends with one of the Newman player's dads, and Arch was just a bonus.

My takeaways a) kicking games for both teams not strong.  b) I thought Arch looked really good for someone having a terrible game.

These teams made the team Maalik and the teams they play seem like d1 college football.

Westfield v North Shore, this was not

Man, what a game.

[Tex Long 4620]

Didn't see game or clips. How'd his forearm development look to be going?

[vtaenz 603]

Was he smiling with his eyes?

[LTtxfan 49912]

SARK and MILWEE attended game last night... 😂😂😂

[Red Five 41605]

He's certainly got the tools. Nice quick compact delivery. Runs comparable to maybe Colt McCoy. Strong arm but not a cannon. 

I do think that if his name was Arch Johnson he'd probably be a mid 4-star. But that's just after watching some highlights and one shitty game.

[jinx 2636]

How big are his hands though?

All of this. Pedigree and size make him covetable. Not much in his highlight vids makes you overly giddy, but he’s still really young. Sark and Co. will have a field day with him.

Did he punt?

Did your good friend’s son tell you where Arch will go to school?

[Vertigo 20463]

He short hopped some throws and doesnt really have much offensive help. He is mobile but not someone I would consider a dual threat. The golden rule of football is never pass on a Manning, but he has some growing to do.

Nope.  Maybe what will turn out to be arguably some inside info but I'm not saying.
