Question for people who watched the book of manning.

quote:

As a human Archie is as good as they come. Manziel....

Everyone keeps saying this, but no one will address:

1) Why Archie pressured Cooper to keep playing HS ball and continue his OM legacy despite his obvious declining physical health
2) How Archie can claim he is just a "good Dad" who wanted the best for his sons but was visibly pissed off and dejected during Peyton's commitment announcement. He didn't even try and hide it.

1. How in the hell do YOUUUUUUUUUU know if Archie pressured Cooper? And why on God's green earth would Archie pressure Cooper AFTER his spinal stenois diagnosis?

2. How do you YOUUUUUUUUUUU know that Archie was pissed off and dejected? Did you ever stop and think maybe he was very emotional that his son was going to play Division I SEC football, and was very proud and happy for him ????

By every account I'm aware of, Cooper stopped playing football as soon as they found out about his condition.

To be fair, he did look quite dejected in that video clip. The fact remains, though, that he grew to embrace Peyton's decision, to the point that he even started wearing Tenn apparel to the games and to this day, seems genuinely happy with the choice. I think he was honest, in that he knows deep down that it didn't make sense for him career-wise to attend Ole Miss at that juncture.
