The hype is insane

Right. I’m not trying to throw shade, but as of right now he looks like a “developmental player with potential.”

I never had him as the number one player in this class.. never thought he was the number one quarterback in his class 

 

He has a lot of good traits but he absolutely needs a lot of development

Can't really tell how good Arch is from this game. He never really got into rhythm. That's on him but the Buckeyes D had a lot to do with that. I think they got into his head. Once you start double-checking what you see instead of just trusting your mechanics get off.

 

Very few of his passes were on target today. I saw a couple of big time throws but other than that, meh.

 

We'll see if he toughens up over the season.

 

I expect we'll see these teams go head-to-head come playoff time.

Watched some of the game today.  Felt like the game was less about Manning and more about the Buckeyes defensive line.   They absolutely dominated in the trenches.    If you put Arch on the Buckeyes its the same outcome maybe worse. 

 

Off topic  but if the kid from Michigan ever gets footwork he may be someone to watch. 

 

Thank God football is back.

 Underwood the Michigan quarterback was the number one overall high School recruit in the last cycle composite rankings

Matt Patricia with the team logo falling off his hoodie too. Manning baggage runs deep.

I want Matt Patricia's head on a platter! 

Yes, the hate for former Patriots* coaches runs deep for me.

He’s going to be a good one. I liked how he looked week 1.

Not a lot of true freshman QBs start week 1 ... No Matter if you're the number one overall player or a three-star recruit

 

He's got a lot of tools

Indeed.  Oldest son is a big Michigan fan so its all Ive heard about.   Spent the better part of yesterday fishing but had to be back for the Michigan game.

 

Hes a talented kid but the top half of the body and the lower half of the body arent in sync yet.   If he puts it altogether he's a Cam Newton, Josh Allen type draft prospect.

Maybe he isn't. I have only watched him play twice and he is still young.

But a few of those passes yesterday were jaw dropping.

14-7. Texas got a taste of Big Ten football today. Manning not looking great. It’ll be interesting to see if he’s another Manning, or a Trevor Lawrence type “generational talent”. 

???

 

Lawrence was nasty in college and won the Natty his first season starting.

 

he hasn’t been consistently great at the NFL level, but he delivered in college. 
 

Arch has a long way to go to get to Trevor’s level it appears
