I like the sound of that.

No surprise here.

Definitely starting two years at Texas ...

Archie would probably love for it to be three, but that's probably 50-50'ish

[VaHorn]

Exactly. Archie wants him at Texas in 2027.

Love the Manning approach. They value the development and the college experience (and don't need the quick payday).

Hot take: Heisman and natty, he's gone. Heisman OR natty, he stays. Neither he stays.

I think based on what's been said, he stays at least 2 years regardless.  If he wins both Heisman and natty?  He could stay and try to repeat both, a feat I don't think has ever been done?

I don't think the NFL gives a damn about Heisman or natty when evaluating QBs.  I think it's just the Mannings want to take the pressure off of Arch for now...at least as much as possible...and then we'll see what happens after that.

Injury free and I think our chances of a natty go WAY UP!

Back2 back for both. Go Big or Go Home.

If you’re surprised by this then you’ve not been listening to the gerry and bobby well enough 

[Jarveaux]

Possible we have Arch starting 3 years ! 

[Tuco Ramirez]

It’ll be interesting to see who has the first draft pick in 2 years and will that influence whether Arch leaves or stays another year.

It won’t matter. Wouldn’t be surprised he plays for 3 years. Eli redshirted then was the backup for a year and started for 3 years at Ole Miss.uu
