"He plays a very low level of competition, he hasn't progressed," Farrell added. "He had a really good freshman season, I wouldn't say regression but he hasn't progressed. And when he has had to step up against other competition, especially the playoff game where he looked awful. It just hasn't translated. Now, the Manning name is important. It's not just the name but what goes into that. Cooper was a tremendous athlete, obviously Eli and Peyton and Archie are great football minds. This kid has been taught from a young age. You have to assume based on the success of everyone else in that family; Cooper would have been very good as an athlete had he not had that athlete; that he's going to be good. So, high 3 star if the last name was Smith, throw in the Manning name to get to a 4 star, I'm not sure if you get to 5 though. Every time I watch other quarterbacks in this class it knocks Arch down in my head. That's not his fault, he's not participating, he's not competing, and this is all summer ball it's all about routes on air. But every time I look at a Malachi Nelson or Dante Moore I like them better. And I've got Arch sliding into the 5th/6th range in this class."
 
I have no clue if Arch will be any good, but the hype will be nearly impossible to live up to.

I would guess he has a bumpy start, eventually developing into a solid starter, but ultimately nothing extraordinary.. That will feel like a disappointment for those on the hype train.
 
Dante Moore will be one of the best QBs in this class. That the whole midwest struck out on him blows me away. First that Michigan let him out of their back yard blows my mind. And then that ND couldn't close the deal wheb they had him as a silent commit for 4 months.

Just hope he gets to develop. Because he might be the best QB ever produced out of the state.


That said. This QB class is absolutely loaded. QBs this year in the 10 to 20 range would be top 5 to 10 in almost any other year.

If he's a "failure" like his uncle Eli, then he'll be alright.
 
His competition isn’t great. But the name goes beyond the physical. The Manning name is associated with X’s and O’s and a vociferous attention to detail that has long made up for the physical short comings.

He was something to see in person. He dingle handed best Bama, when I was there. Not the accomplishment then it is today but, then again, even in our down time, we owned one Miss.

Hah, bro, I can certainly empathize with your new dad lack of sleep and all, but that's funny right there. Eli dingle handed Bama? Something to watch I'm sure......
