If his name were Arch Allen or some other random last name he’d have been a three-star athlete coming out of high school and would likely be riding the bench.

One of the most overhyped players of my lifetime. Way too inconsistent to be worthy of All-SEC consideration, let alone a first rounder.

He's gotten better but I've never seen a more over-hyped QB in my life.

Some stupid NFL team will make him a first round pick though.

The NFL front office who takes him will have pink slips in 2 years.

Manning or not, this dude ain't getting drafted in the first 3 rounds. NFL teams watch the tape

I’ll take that bet. Not saying he deserves too though.

Hadn't thought of it before, but good comparison.

At least Texas isn't playing Arch in favor of the better QB this time.

No one ever claimed that McCarron and Bennett were generational talents.

Simms was overhyped but he was better than Arch.

He’s been over hyped since HS.

Anothy Richardson went 4 over all. Some front office is going to take him in the top 10

After seeing several of his HS games, I and some other local posters pointed this out. Of course it was labeled “sour grapes” then, but we have been proven right.

So many of the coaches in Nola said he was a 3* with a different last name

I heard that true freshman Texas QB Dia Bell (Raja’s son) outplayed Arch in camp.

I'll take that bet.

QB's are always over-drafted
