re: Did UGA and Alabama dodge a bullet by not landing Arch Manning? That bullet may kill Texas

The Mannings suck. Know why Peyton was 0-3 vs Florida as a starter??? Because he was so bad, he was third String QB when they played UF his Freshman year. Here's the funny part...Manning wasn't even good enough to start the season 3rd string QB...he was 4th string. Here is UT's depth chart at the beginning of the season:

1st string - Jerry Colquitt (injured in the opener vs UCLA)
2nd string - Todd Helton (injured in the 4th game of the season)
3rd string - Branndon Stewart (ahead of Manning on the depth chart until after the Florida game)
4th string - Peyton Manning

You know who dodged a bullet??? Steve Spurrier...Manning was heavily recruited by Florida, but finally chose Tennessee instead. Imagine if Steve Spurrier had been coaching Manning under center...UF wouldn't have ever won a game.

That's just comparing him to Peyton. Eli was so bad, he had to redshirt his Freshman year. Eli couldn't jump ahead of Romeo Miller, who led Ole Miss to a 7-5 record.

Just like his uncles...Arch Manning is likely destined to be a career backup and all of the SEC schools are so much better off since he chose somewhere else. Sure, Texas hasn't even played a single game since he enrolled there...but that doesn't matter. He's destined for mediocrity.
