I love d$ but I hope he’s off the arch love fest after this…

There is more than just the last name, which is why the NFL is watching him so closely.

I thought he’d take a step as a college player this year, and he hasn’t. So I’ll raise my hand and take the L on that.

But I still think he’s a very talented prospect, and most of the backlash is based off people like Finebaum and not Arch’s actual skillset.

I’ve been searching for a comp, and he actually reminds me of Sam Darnold. Similar size, arm and athleticism. Arch is actually a better runner. It took a while for Darnold to find his footing but the payoff ended up strong.
When you opened up with how closely the NFL is watching, nothing else mattered.

You are wrong

But I get it, some pills are harder to swallow
 
Sarkisian is going to find himself calling games on TV or back in an OC role sooner than people think because, as a playcaller, he's been pure cheeks. I'm not saying Manning doesn't have his faults, but it's pretty clear that a lot of people here aren't watching the All-22. Manning has things he needs to improve, but let's talk about how uninspired this offense looks at every level.

Coleman and Wingo are basically Featherstone once they get more than 10 yards downfield. Emaree Winston is Featherstone from the line of scrimmage to 10 yards. The playcalling leaves a lot to be desired, with very little emphasis on short-to-intermediate routes. Too many plays take forever to develop, and the receivers aren't doing enough to help their quarterback when things break down. They need to recognize when to settle into a zone, find open space, and give Manning an outlet instead of mindlessly running their routes while he's under duress. The receivers look like they're going through the motions, and their blocking is some of the worst I've seen. The WR screens are especially bad. The blocking and overall setup are terrible, and receivers routinely catch the ball, turn upfield, and run straight into their own teammates because the play isn't properly executed.

I'm not sitting here claiming Manning is some elite quarterback who has no faults. He has plenty to clean up. But putting all the blame on him ignores the bigger problem. This offense is poorly executed, uninspired, and lacking creativity. The playcalling, route concepts, receiver awareness, and blocking are all contributing to the problem. Manning deserves his share of the criticism, but he's not the only problem, and the All-22 makes that pretty **** clear. This is a unit wide failure, from the coaching staff down to the players
