MSURacerDT55 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Will he be the most hyped prospect ever? Yes, if ESPN has anything to do with it..... He certainly has the tools though.... Edited December 17, 2020 by MSURacerDT55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Imagine Luck and Lawrence...now add the pedigree of being a Manning. But he still needs to do it at the college level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch has to show up in college to even be considered one of the best but with the Manning name no question he will be the most hyped coming out of high school with the early success he has had. Here is an older list of the all time yardage passing leaders in high school history. Helps show how worthless it really is in terms of NFL ability. Career high school passing yardage since 2017: 18,932, Maty Mauk, Kenton (Ohio), 2008-11 17,364, Ben Mauk, Kenton (Ohio), 1999-2002 16,775, Jake Browning, Folsom (Calif.), 2012-14 15,593, Chris Leak, Independence (Charlotte, N.C.), 1999-2002 15,138, Myles Brennan, St. Stanislaus (Bay St. Louis, Miss.), 20013-16 14,565, Will Grier, Davidson Day (Davidson, N.C.), 2011-13 14,457, J.R. House, Nitro (W. Va.), 1995-98 14,408, Hunter Lile, Booker (Texas), 2011-14 14,223, Travis Quintanilla, Refugio (Texas), 2010-13 14,082, Tucker Israel, Lake Nona (Orlando, Fla.), 2011-14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look back at Luck’s college career. I mean...he was good...but he wouldn’t be considered as one of the best college QBs ever. Not even close. Arch Manning could have an Andrew Luck like college career, or even worse...and still be the most hyped NFL QB prospect ever. The floor is just so incredibly high. The Manning track record is insane, and Arch is the most physically gifted of them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4L Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Watching that video in the OP made me feel really bad for the kids of Booker t Washington high school for not having a football team since Katrina. They used to be a powerhouse program, but the kids that went there the last 15 years didn't get a chance to play football. That's just wrong. Arch looks like a cool customer. Really smooth. Doesn't look like just a sophomore. He's probably not done growing either. They said he was already 6'3. Sophomores are like 15 or whatever. So he could be like 6'5 or 6'6 but still be super polished with a fast and repeatable release. Usually that's the downside to being so tall, a slow release. He's going to be under a microscope for the next 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Millions" They just have his grandfather and uncles help him do drills properly and since a very early age. The bosa brothers were the same way, they did pass rushing drills when they were like 3/4 years old. Arch was taught perfect mechanics since day one. He doesn't know the wrong way to throw a football As the great Vince Lombardi said: "practice makes permanent, perfect practice makes perfect" Even if they did spend millions, the guy will likely go pro and so therefore it would have been a good investment on their part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the passion is there teaching kids at a young age to do things the right way will lead to long term success. Arch, probably goes to Duke with Cutcliffe, and will then be groomed to be a pro. If he goes to a bigger school(Alabama or Georgia) since they're usually competing for National Titles it'll be interesting to see his development.

Luck was hyped to a level I've never seen before. I take it you do not remember John Elway as a sophomore at Stanford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brushmyhair Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I believe that he'll end up at Oklahoma, because 1 thing is for sure, they'll want him playing for a coach who is reliably sending first rd QB'S to the NFL. Rattler will be entering the NFL by that time. Ohio State has Ewers so Manning might have to wait a bit there. I don't think Arch will choose an alumni school. The NFL is going to be the ultimate factor here. And I hope he goes to an organization he doesn't want to play for as that family is spoiled.
