How Good Is Arch Manning Actually?

Honestly having them play flag football was probably a good idea. You get experience running an offense, learning plays, and analyzing a secondary without any of the concerns about major contact injuries.

I can picture it now. Peyton and Eli covering a Monday night game their nephew is in. I hope this kid does something

You can be forgiven if you had thought Arch was Peyton's boy, cause from what we know from this video, Arch does take a lot from his uncle. Guys like Ray Lewis and Tom Brady have mentioned just how serious Peyton took the sport, and these were guys who played competitively with and against the man himself. Peyton was always working on his throws, studying film, anything to prepare for the next game, which was exactly what made him great. That being said, I do advise caution and restraint for any fan that thinks Arch would "set the world on fire" like his uncles did. I should mention that both Peyton and Eli did not exactly have the best rookie seasons when they were first drafted. Peyton went 3-13 during his rookie year with the Colts, while Eli went 6-10 with the Giants. I should also note that unlike Peyton, Eli had a veteran to learn from in Kurt Warner. Whichever team drafts Arch will be very lucky, but they will also need to remember it's a team game, so Arch will need the right personnel around him to flourish, be it coaches, weapons to throw to, and a supporting cast. For a more recent example, just look at how the Bengals turned things around with Burrow after they drafted Ja'Marr Chase and assembled an underrated defense around Logan Wilson and Jessie Bates.

People forget how much of a monster his dad Cooper manning was before his injury.

Hope he turns out well but all I gotta say is whenever kids are hyped up in the news for sports it usually doesn't end well.

I doubt it was an accident that he left those notes behind. He knew what he was doing.

A son or daughter following in his or her fathers footsteps is the ultimate honor no matter what it is. My daughter plans on joining the same branch of military same as her great grandfather and I was in. I couldn't be more proud.

With all this hype and from what I've seen from this kid so far...my gut's say he's going to be another great Manning QB in the NFL, HOF type. The Legacy of greatness continues, generationally from this family.

Never forget how much of a beast Cooper Manning was at WR in high school before his injury made him quit. And doesn’t Cooper look like an exact copy of Eli here or is it just me?

I usually don't watch college football, but if Arch starts for the Longhorns - I'm in.

If im not mistaken Isadore Newman was playing the same competition as a small school when Peyton and Eli went there, but now it's a negative because Arch played there?? Lol. Didn't affect his uncles once they hit D1. I'm not saying he will be as good as them but his high school competition shouldn't be looked at as being a negative in my opinion. Normal schools play schools within their region and state. Everybody isn't playing a national schedule and building superteams like IMG academy

I actually think lesser competition during developing years is more beneficial than playing better competition. He's gonna play serious competition in college but he will have a headstart on the things that are most valuable and often missing from college QBs. Arch has poise, vision, leadership and focus (Doesnt care about the celebriry). As long as the raw talent is there he'll be able to focus on the intricacies of professional football. A decent example of this is Trevor Lawrence. He played very tough competition all through college and the schedule you cannot lose even one game. To me that stunts the growth of a lot of the nuances and intangibles that smaller schools provide. You need to be ready for players that are as good as you and when that pressure comes in college/NFL he will keep his composure, leadership, and clarity. Patrick went to Texas tech and had much more freedom to develop and skills that a majority of college QBs have to learn in the pros.

At this point, it's not Football without a Manning at QB. Been that way since I was a kid watching Archie play for the Saints when I was a little kid in Louisiana. I saw Peyton play at Neyland Stadium University of Tennessee when I was a teenager living in Knoxville. I pulled for Peyton when he was a Colt and a Bronco. Being a Cowboys fan, I liked Eli ok.. Now I live in Texas, just outside of Austin and the freakin' LONGHORNS sign young Arch! So I am a fan of the Manning Family. Watched them all my life.

With his worked ethic, sides, and strength I think this young man is going to be great! He has an old-school mentality, and you can tell he was very well raised!

I wish nothing but the best for him. A long and healthy career

any enemy he has will be an arch enemy.

Being humble, hard work, and constantly watching game film will always lead to success as a football player.

A big loss in a big game early in his life is not at all a bad thing. You don't need to see a player only win, you just need to see that a player has the potential to learn and grow. I expect that Arch is the type of person to take lessons from a big loss. Also, it's hard to judge how good the team around him was in high school, too. We'll know a lot more by how he does with a full team of D1 recruits.

He is a beast. My son and I watched him up close during the MPA and he is a great guy and personable as well. We probably wont see him on the field this week with Ewers out, but he is at least 6'5 and has a real gun. If you give him time and that Texas Line looks great, he will be one of, if not the best out there. Great young man and humble too. Great job by his parents and family.

It would surreal if Arch and Marvin Harrison Jr. ended up on the same team in the NFL.
