This shit needs to be investigated. Schefter is suddenly wrong and uniformed now that the company he’s invested in has gambling implications to trades, IR and so on? This is so blatant.
Me: Arch Manning is a 5 star only because of his last name. If he was Arch Smith he wouldn’t be a 5.
Others: You’re crazy. You suck. Look at the mentoring he’s gonna get from his uncles.
Me: Arch Smith wouldn’t get that mentoring.
@nytimes@TheAthletic Overhype Arch and everyone gets pissed. Call him a loser and everyone gets pissed.
How about this? He’s always been kinda average.
I’m not trying to make news with any Arch Manning hot take. The more I see other QBs in this class the more he slides down in my mind. He’s still an extremely valuable get for Texas.
Mike Farrell said if Arch Manning’s name was Arch Smith, he’d rate as a high three-star QB. He cited low competition level, no real progression after a strong freshman year, and a poor playoff game. Factoring in the Manning pedigree and training, Farrell settled on a four-star ranking and placed him fifth or sixth among 2023 QBs, not the consensus No. 1 five-star.
I’ve ranked around 1/4 million kids. Only one was what I think was a 5 star plus (whatever that is) as a passer out of HS. And his name wasn’t Arch. Guesses?
