Question: Do we stand a chance with Arch Manning?

[CrimsonTheory]

Crickets....

Jiminy and Zapper do not have the answer, either.

 

[Tideflyer]

So.... what is he left with? Depth chart stuff maybe? Assurance of a starting position from the jump ( everybody knows Saban won`t guarantee a starting job, you`ll have to earn it. )?

 

[bamamc1]

Hope he is just for that reason. What OBJECTIVE, statistically based information can he provide that shows that the UGA football program is superior to Alabama`s , particularly when it comes to player development and program accomplishments?

UA former QB’s Hurts, Tua, and Jones started for their NFL teams last year. WTH can he say? Fields left to get a chance? If it weren’t for CNS, smart and muschamp would be coaching high school ball in Georgia.

That is one of the best selling points for coming to Bama……….. who does Kirby have starting as QB? No one

 

[bamaga]

I find myself wondering if there are other, non-football related, factors that will weigh heavily in his decision. Or, will his college major simply be " getting ready for the league" and nothing much else.

I keep reading the family likes Austin. Easier for Arch to blend in to the background , focus on college . . And Arch likes Athens. Both offer excellent academic standards. I really think Archie likes Tuscaloosa. academics Are what you make them, and blending would be easy in Tuscaloosa with all the big names in college football that have passed through there before. Most predict Texas, Georgia is the betting odds on favorite and Bama now leads in the On3 predictor.


BTW, Arch is hanging with fellow Louisiana native and wide receiver Shazz Preston in T-town.

Bama will be fine with or without Arch, but I would rather have him, than play against him. I expect him to end up wearing Crimson. Just my 2 cents

yeah, that’s what I said -

[DogPatch]

An abundance of talent has never stopped Kirby from blowing games in the past.

Yeah, but not 3 with that talent differential.

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

yeah, that’s what I said -

Some UGA fans I know are real antsy now................they think it's between Bama and Texas...........

 

[CajunCrimson]

We’ve won a lot of NCs with above average but not elite QBs too

 

[allybama2009]

I'm going with whatever Saban does. Milroe and Simpson will be fine for us the next couple years after Bryce. Rtr

 

[UAH]

We’ve won a lot of NCs with above average but not elite QBs too

Yeah. Bama has won with some great offensive lines and defenses lined with future members of the NFL. Any QB without a winning team around him is as a boat without oars. It is hard for me to see that any high school junior stands out significantly over several other athletes in the same position. Not going to give Arch Manning another thought!

 

[92tide]

Hopefully, but I doubt it. They have far more talent on their roster than any team on their schedule

and this coming season's schedule makes last season's look like a meatgrinder

 

[92tide]

Nah, Arch would get benched in favor of Stetson Bennett's 3rd cousin.

just in case you didn't see this from earlier this week

Stetson Bennett’s younger brother to join Georgia Bulldogs

Pierce County High receiver Luke Bennett committed to the Georgia Bulldogs on Thursday as a preferred walkon receiver.

To say this a little differently, Bama has only won 1 NC with any of the Elite QB's Saban has signed (Phillip Sims, Blake Barnett, Tua, and Bryce). And the lone exception was Tua's heroics in the second half against Ga. But that was very much Jalen Hurt's season that got us there.

Please tell me his name isn’t “Justin”
Otherwise this Cowboy thing will make me gag.

edit. Ah it’s Luke.

The Bennett brothers sound like characters that should be on Yellowstone.
