It takes a real bitch to turn the embarrassment of riches we have at QB into something to complain about.

His wheels and the zip behind the ball is already way better than Ewers. Look at how much his team mates hyped him up around him. We want QBs who other great recruits gravitate to and that's what I saw. I saw enough flashes to know he's going to be a good QB.

Thanks Dad.

We're set perfectly for next year. Ewers has all-star year, is in the running for the Heisman, goes pro only to be replaced at the 40 Acres by someone better - a better arm, a better bloodline with an even better team. It's storybook man.

I mean, we're trying to win football games, not invade Poland.

Check out NMState @ Texas on 08.31.2003

I don't need to.  Watched it live.  Tonight was at a minimum equally, if not more impressive to me.

VY was a physical freak of nature  there, to be sure.  Tonight was different.  This was a different beast tonight.  Completely different.

And I'm a guy here who didn't jump on the Arch lovefest b/c I thought it smelt of a bit of hype.  Not there anymore.

I have mutual friends with Chance mock. I was at that game and he looked ok that day but I knew we were in trouble if he was our program's long term qb1.

I don't think he was talking about Chance.

His talent level is already on par with Ewers

Top 3 for sure

Kidding aside, Arch is pretty fucking fast 

Maybe none of this is actually true, but to my eyes from 30 rows up, he looked bigger, faster, and stronger than Ewers, and his arm looked even stronger. Dude's gonna be a monster imho.

He threw a pass into traffic and the end zone shot wasn't great, but Manning's fundamentals looked outstanding. 

Adrenaline dump probably had him feeling like he was throwing with someone else's arm there for a bit.  

I saw all I needed to see on the replay from behind on the play where he scrambled right for a nice gain.  Quiet feet, shoulders cocked.  Kid's absolutely got the details down to a degree Ewers can only dream of.  Helps having a grandad and 2 uncles who were stud QBs, but still.

Counterpoint. The greatest QB of all time didn’t win the Heisman here (fuck curt bowls) and the biggest winning QB of all time didn’t win it either.

Add to that both Peyton and Archie both got passed over for the Heisman in their college careers. So he’s double cursed? Too many sooner and aggy voters now. They hate Texas for some reason, the voters. The Heisman lost all meaning to me after VY.

I know both Arch and Ewers had nearly perfect ratings from every recruiting service, but Arch is the only one of the two as a freshman that looks like an actual 5* plus with his mechanics, footwork, and agility. I hope Ewers and Arch can co-exist next year without either hitting the portal this offseason because odds are both will get plenty of playing time next season in the SEC.

I have tried to temper my expectations somewhat about all the hype around Arch, as he is only a freshman.  It's not fair to him to have all the big-time expectations of both the Manning family name and a big-time program like Texas on his shoulders in only his first season with the program.

But I came away very impressed with his debut tonight.  He still seems a little raw on some things, and he probably got some adrenaline pumping from playing in his first college game.  Still, I saw flashes of brilliance, and I think given time, coaching, and experience, he could be something very special.

I think Sark putting him out tonight was also a message to both future recruits and portal targets: this is the QB you will be playing with someday if you come to Texas.  Don't wait too long, or the train will leave the station without you.
