Honest Manning Question

He’s an exceptional athlete and going to be at least a very good QB. So I guess Lawrence but a much bigger danger to run

I don’t know if Manning is supposed to be Pro style or DT. Lawrence was pro.

I just hope he understands that throwing the ball away is, very often, the better option than taking a sack or lowering your head and getting hurt.

it's a long season. We need him healthy. We know he has wheels. I just hope sark can keep it in check. Using his speed to escape the pocket is fine but I don't want to see him running with the ball often. We have RBs for that job.

There will be some times when Sark needs to be challenged - I want Arch to be that guy. I want Arch to implode when he is told to go backward 7 yards when the ball is at the one.

OMG this. fricking yes

a 3 year starter should have checked out of that play.

I expect more explosives but more turnovers and hopefully our running game improving a bit with a threat to run at QB.

Will be interesting to see if he operates in a way to stay ahead of the chains efficiently which I felt Quinn was pretty good at.

It's a reflection of college football preseason right now.

So many different story lines but people can't seem to avoid talking about Manning even when they don't want to. The funniest thing to me is when they go out of their way to talk about how ridiculous the Manning hype train has been, thereby adding to the Manning hype train.

I remember how sick and tired I got of the Tim Tebow narrative. It feels very similar, and that's before Manning has really proven himself on the field.

It's especially bad because ESPN has exclusive rights to the SEC. You know there just going to shovel the Manning narrative down our throats if he does well. As a Texas fan I'm going to love it. But as a fan of any other team it would make me destroy a remote or two.

This. I think the Manning hype could be even worse if he looks good.

Only thing I know for sure, win or lose, everyone will overreact after the OSU game.

if he beats OSU and looks good doing so, ESPN will anoint him next Tom Brady. It's not going to be fun for other SEC fans if that happens.

Just as it won't be a lot of fun for us if he looks terrible. One thing's for sure. SEC fans here will start 10 posts a day about arch while simultaneously complaining about the hype that they help create.

More like a Cart McCoy

Lawrence could be dangerous when he got loose

He is a Manning...he will suceed. Arch, Peyton, and Eli will not let him fail. They will drill him till he gets shite right
