Steve Spurrier Sure To Upset Texas Fans With This Arch Manning Comment

He is right!

Everyone’s obsession with arch is hilarious

Get no Spurrier was still alive. Still hard to tell.

Arch was a freshman. Most coaches tend to go with the experienced arms and give their future QB limited experience. I don’t see the issue. Spurrier did the same with Tebow.

That old bastard is still alive and slinging insults? He’s going down slower than Bobby Knight did.

Love the Ol Ball coach for telling it like it is.

Old Ball Coach can still get opposing fans riled up in his twilight years.

Nobody throws shade like OBC

We’ll certainly find out this season.

Yea, ok, it always works this way. Cam Newton couldn't beat out John Brantley for 2nd team at Florida. Tebow couldn't beat out Chris Leak, Burrow couldn't beat out anybody at Ohio State, Peyton Manning couldn't beat out Jerry Colquitt or Todd Helton at UT. Heck, he even split time Brandon Stewart when both were freshmen. Danny Wuerffell struggled to beat out Terry Dean. Sometimes it takes a minute to click. If Spurrier's methodology held true then every team would digress every year because of starters leaving. He talks out of his arse too much.

He may be right. When he had Tim Tebow and Chris Leak he made sure Tim got to play QB a bit. Though I think most (maybe even all) would agree that Leak performed better than Ewers as a college QB. Tim played in all 14 games, really mostly as a runner from the QB position. But the numbers, when you look at total yards and total TDs, are comparable between Tebow and Manning, with Tebow's rushing yards and TDs far outpacing Manning's, but Manning's passing numbers far outpacing Tebow's. I do think Manning was and is being overrated due to his name and family lineage but he is still potentially at least a good QB. But it wouldn't hurt my feelings if he had a less than stellar year.

Good point.

Spurrier would have thrown his visor at Ewers and benched his bum arse.

He’s not wrong.

He knows

He was one helluva coach, hope he's enjoying retirement he earned it.

I miss OBC. Damn we need him in the SEC.

either Sark is dumb or too loyal to seniority... or Arch ain't all that. only options. Eli and Peyton never won a championship. keep it up Mannings.

You old guys remember the Brock Berlin and Rex Grossman debate when Spurrier was the coach at Florida? Fans wondered why Grossman started ahead of Berlin. Lots of fans complaining saying Berlin was better. Well Spurrier started Berlin at some point and it was obvious the coach was correct in starting Grossman. Manning could be the same

He’s not wrong
