Why Does Everyone think Archie Manning was an Elite College QB
Because he was
He was the best player on the field for some really bad teams in college and in the NFL.

You can't look at statistics unless you look at the era they played in.
In 1969 and 1970 he was named to the all SEC team.
He was 4th in Heisman voting in 1969 and 3rd in 1970.
He was inducted into the College Football HoF
He was named the SEC Quarterback of the Quarter Century (1950–75) by several publications.
But, hey. Statistics and your opinion probably trumps the experts. I am guessing you never saw him play.

Big first mistake. Think Peyton and Eli Manning, but runs like a deer.

Bear Bryant called Archie the best QB he'd ever seen. Guessing he knows a thing or two about the sport.

Because he was and Elite College QB. He was Tebow before Tebow. The man had unbelievable scrambling ability. Ole Miss lost two games in 1969 by one point each. At the end of the year they were playing as well as anyone in the country. They beat SEC Champion Tennessee 38-0 in mid November.
He did heave some interceptions but a lot were in 1968, his soph year.
The answer is yes.

I don’t even consider Tarkenton and Manning in the same era. Manning was Fran but bigger faster stronger and a better thrower.
