OTF Premium Thoughts on Arch Manning
GQ03 replied to Gerry Hamilton's topic in On Texas Football Forum
This. I had to shake my head when I saw Bobby and some others talk about the WRs not getting an open when they were running open all day and Arch was missing them. First play of the game, not only was Deandre Moore wide open but Jack Endries was wide open right behind Moore. Arch had two open options and threw it in the dirt. On 4th & 3 from the 9 where Arch tries to hit Livingstone on the slot fade, Wingo is open for a 1st down and potentially td on a slant but Arch was locked on Livingstone. And then there's Arch missing a wide open Wingo on the big 3rd & 5 on the last possession. -
I'm disappointed in the outcome but I can live with it. It was always going to be a tall task and encouraged that the team we saw today is not the team we're going to see week 7. I'll take my lumps and look forward to a great season going forward. I'm glad this game is over and I no longer have to hear the names Smith and Downs

OTF Premium Arch This Week in Practice (Wednesday 3:30 p.m.)

I have to admit that I thought about this during the game as well. However, there were enough positives in the game overall that it didn't feel quite like a Herman game. -
Hat tip to the OLine, they did their part. All off season I never heard much praise for Arch. An occasional compliment like “he had a good practice” or “he hasn’t been turning the ball over” but never gushing praise. I guess I can see why, he’s still a work in progress. He can run. He has good zip on the ball. He has a few great throws. But man, so many bad throws, literally more than I saw from any other qB I watched today. Turfed shots, balls behind or too high. Just honestly ugly at times. I’m left wondering about how he’s doing in practice and if this has been a consistent issue for him or if this was first game jitters/Ohio speeding him up/confusion due to lack of tape on Patricia. On the same note I’m left wondering if Sark didn’t feel comfortable developing a fun and aggressive opening script due to unfamiliarity with what Ohio was going to try to do.

For the life of me... I'll never understand why won't DB's whip their head around when trailing a WR. DB's always panic when they get beat and just try to catch up and hit the WR, never finding the football. Hell, Gilbeaux possibly could've batted it down or intercepted it had he got his head around. I think we see Kobe Black or Kade Phillips take that job by season's end. Just a hunch... but I've never been confident in him out there.

All of you people hating on Arch are showing your ignorance of how a QB can develop . For him to go out and ball out would have been an anomoly. What we have is a leader with good character, and a hard worker that will get it fixed. Look at Peyton, Vince, Colt, none of them started well. And given time I could give you probably 5 more examples. He played bad, fine, he has to play better, but quit hating. It’s a small sample size and you are showing your ignorance of how this stuff works . You are game day posters. We are lucky to have a Manning. Stuck with the program for 2 years and raised right. We can stick by him for at least more than one game. Sheesh.

On a positive note

Maybe more in a few years. Graceson was spectacular in my eyes. Not one hint of intimidation nor confusion. 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿 -
Gracen Littleton was not just good. He was good against the best player in college football. What does that make him. Little early, but Jadae 2.0 ??

OTF Premium Thoughts on Arch Manning

Pretending a FG was the right call when it is 4th and ONE FOOT and you are down 7-0 isn’t serious. It would be like getting a 11 in blackjack with the dealer showing a 16 and choosing to stand. -
Good thing about this, Arch realized that he has to stay one more year to learn 🤘🏼

Nobody talking about this but I tend to agree. I am not sold on our playmakers on offense. I know it’s early, but our staff is essentially relying on a bunch of unproven guys hitting. I don’t agree with that approach. There were plenty of capable WRs in the portal they could have taken that could thrive in this offense. Wingo needs to prove it. His route running and contested catch ability has been lackluster. Moore is good, but not elite. He is who he is. Everyone else is a question mark. Wisner is a good back, not elite. Baxter will take time. No home run threats there.
