Arch Manning Being "Arch"

I've never seen this Marty guy before. I was wondering who gave him the list of softballs, and why his boss saw fit to use a guy who sounds like his other job might be voice-stuntman for Billy Bob.

On the other hand, I did like the responses from Arch - bothi his content and his delivery were extremely well done.

I sweatergod, Surly is amazing. In a thread about Arch, the convo strangely turns to sausage and then within minutes Abe Froman (the sausage king of Chicago) brings in some insider intel from one of the great voice mails of all time. Just incredible. Well done, gents.

It is not

Yeah, that implies insane acceleration, and the 40 yard dash is not much more than a measure of acceleration.  Top end speed is part of it, but I would be absolutely shocked if Arch were quicker to 10 yards than X.

For flavor, Usain Bolt's world record 100 m dash had him reaching maximum speed in the 52 m range (57 yards).  No elite sprinter is at full speed by 40 yards.  If Arch could beat X to 10 yards, he'd probably be close in 40 yards, and I just refuse to believe that.

That said, the difference at the 10 yard mark could be little more than inches.  Let's just say it would be great if Arch could even get close to X in terms of his initial burst.

For more flavor, Arch ran track one year in HS (sophomore season).  He clocked a 12.09 sec PR in the 100m.  That's about what my kid did at that age.  Two years later my son was in the low 11 sec range.  Elite?  Hardly. 

X is almost exactly two years older than Arch.  He ran a 10.65 sec 100m two years prior.  That's a huge difference.  X was being nice in his comments.

tell me that watching this doesn’t give you even more confidence in Arch. this is all so old hat for their entire family, it makes Arch Manning a truly unique case when it comes to any high profile recruit, much less a 1.000 rated, #1 overall recruit. he’s been preparing for this his entire life, and the people raising and supporting him have basically spent that time grooming him for the family business. Arch probably has higher expectations placed on him than any other star QB recruit ever, but he’s also got to be the most prepared star QB recruit ever. he is built for this.

I suggest a Five Point Plan to settle this disagreement once and for all.

1. We watch the Texas vs. Florida game. Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss.

2. We watch the Texas vs. Arkansas game. Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss.

3. We watch the Texas vs. Kentucky game. Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss.

4. We watch the Texas vs. Aggy game. Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss.

5. We watch the next Texas game of the season (Bowl game, SEC Championship, or First round playoff). Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss -30 if this is a bowl game +10 if it's the SEC championship.

 

Then we find the average of these five sums. This gives us his measure on the ULTIMATE SCALE OF PUSSYTUDE/BOSSNESS (working title...in process)

 

0-65.0 : THE ULTIMATE PUSSY : Sorry Quinn, you are officially and forever a Huge Pussy

65-75 : PRETTY MUCH A PUSSY : Quinn, you had so much potential but you ended up playing like a Pussy for us. There might be hope for you in the future though.

75-85 : KIND OF A PUSSY : Quinn, we would have had a real shot this season if you didn't play like a pussy one too many times. Good luck in the NFL though bro.

85-95 : MOST LIKELY NOT A PUSSY : Quinn did enough to win, but could he have done more? (I admit if we end up here the argument will go on. I'll take my chances)

95-100 : DEFINITELY NOT A PUSSY : You can say what you want about Quinn Ewers, but he ain't no pussy.

100+ : DUDE IS A BOSS : It turns out you guys have just been haters the whole time. Potential Longhorn Legend.

 

(This is all completely arbitrary and not based on any kind of science or intelligence)

May the testes be with you, Quinn.

either cooper has a banana in his pocket or he’s resting his hog on his leg for all the world to see.

Maybe next season, instead of the Pussy-meter we need a hog-meter.

Currently work-shopping the name for the highest category. THE FULL COOPER, or LES GROSSMAN (Hangin' past your knees)

The Worthy vs. Arch first 10 yard dash stuff shouldn't be taken seriously, but Arch's HS coach didn't shut it down when asked about it in this interview (8:48 mark). He says Arch ran the 4x100 in HS, longest broad jump on football team,  and that he is a "4.4, 4.3" type of kid. Raves about his strength and athleticism.
