Arch’s arm strength didn’t appear elite at all.

Aside from him doing a terrible Mahomes impression with the attempted side arm slot throws, I was taken a back by how weak his arm appeared.

The ball didn’t appear to come out of his hand with a flick the wrist like Nussmeier or Klubnik.

Arch’s ball floated on him and his sideline throws were late because he couldn’t get it there with any authority.


Was his lack of ELITE arm strength known?

He'll be fine. Even if his arm strength is shite, thays fixable. He has every single tool a QB needs. Just needs to use them correctly.

How is his inherent arm strength fixable?

Manning settled down and torched an elite Ohio State defense for a record setting 120+ yards in the forth quarter.

Appears your were too drunk in the 4th to witness the #1 Heisman candidate beat down a top Ohio State defense.

Sadly Texas lost by one score to the now #1 team in America.

fricking what?

Work out, better form, better release , leg placement. All contribute to arm strength. All fixable. Have you played a sport before?

But can he make “ALL” of the throws at an elite level? That’s what I’m asking.

It didn’t appear he had the elite arm that a top draft pick is expected to have.

I watched the same exact wrist “catch” from Arch get ruled incomplete when an Ohio State player made the play and Touchdown when Texas did it.
What if the favoritism went the other way? What if they were just consistent? Could have been ugly.

Which makes us all wonder, what's he been doing at Texas for the past 3 years? Do you not think they work on this stuff EVERY DAY???

Once a movement is ingrained in muscle memory it's VERY hard to undo.

The weakest arm of all of the Mannings from what I saw.

Kurt Benkert (former backup QB for Aaron Rogers) was suprised because Arch’s arm looked stronger in his other starts.

He speculated that Arch might have a shoulder injury they’re keeping on the DL. Regardless it’s not a good situation.

Oh im not arguing that hes shite. He is. Im just saying its fixable.

Hes a Manning. He'll get the royal red carpet thrown at him for the best training and all that good shite.

Some Texas fans are wondering if Arch was hurt and they kept it secret. FYI - Xavier Worthy played the better part of an entire season under Sark with a significant hand injury, and the public was never told until after the season.

If Arch wasn't hurt, then we have 1 of 2 scenarios:

- He was overwhelmed with the pressure and just choked. Obviously, this is not a good sign for the UF, OU and UGA games.

- His performance last year was anomalous and this is who Arch really is.

Either way, if Arch looks like a drunk retard against UF and OU, it may be KJ Lacey time.

Yeah, I'm sure they didn't think of that the entire time he was growing up and learning.

Maybe he can go to the Manning passing academy to learn the middle school level fundamentals.
