it is too bad he doesn't have a relative he could ask for guidance
Texas got a Manning Problem
- Thread starter BamaDMD
- Start date
Seeing how many talented QBs Sark has worked with and sent to the NFL, I am surprised to see Manning play like this. Was this forced upon him by the boosters? Or was he essentially fooled? Manning's form is only slightly better than Buchner's.
Just because you have the genes, doesn't mean it's all that you need.

Can someone be selected with the first pick in the NFL draft only because his last name is Manning?

He did start 4 games last year. I think. So lack of experience shouldn't be that much of an issue for a Manning. If he's as advertised, he should be doing better. Maybe he's just slow finding his feet. Time will tell.
At Texas, Boosters are ALWAYS a part of it.
THAT is why Coach Saban did NOT go there... 😎
I think he's injured and that is affecting his play. Once he gets healthy, he will be much more productive. But I also think he was over-hyped and will have a hard time living up to the expectations - injured or not.
I know nothing about it but this seems logical. I mean, dude had the world of expectations on his shoulders to start with. The reports of bad mechanics are baffling though. I mean, did he not grow up in the Manning Camps? Think one of his family members might mention that he has a major problem? Anyway, just think injury and overhype is what is going on. Horns down though. Hope they lose the rest of their games on their cupcake schedule.
I just hope, for his sake, he doesn't start with alcohol again. I know from experience it's a harsh master. May 28 will make 20 years without a drink and I'm still stunned I lived through the years before being semi-functional.
I thought the consensus was that Lane Kiffin was the real genius behind the USC offense? His stops at UW and USC as head coach were not impressive.
And I don't know the big deal in Sark acknowledging he's injured and allowing him to heal, rather than subjecting the kid to ungodly criticism. If people knew he was injured, I doubt he gets the level of criticism he's gotten. So, I don't understand that angle, if he's truly hurt. It's a massively selfish move by Sark and the staff. I would also find it hard to believe Cooper Manning would allow this, because you know good and well he knows whether Arch is hurt or not.
Is it possible Sark in not acknowledging that Arch is working through an injury (possibly a shoulder as some have speculated) because he is trying to prevent upcoming opponents from “targeting†it as he attempts to play through it?
If not, you are correct he is “hanging Arch out to dry†when comes to speculation and criticism.

Outside of an injury, it looks like they don't have a starting QB ready. 🤷â€Â♂ï¸Â
Correct. I think if you look at Sark’s career (excluding his last two years at Texas) he has basically been an 8-5 or 7-6 coach. In his days at Washington, many of his own fanbase referred to him as “8&4 Sarkâ€Â.
Sark got a lot of credit for the offenses at USC under Pete Carroll when Norm Chow was the actual OC and Sark was offensive assistant and QB coach. Kiffin was also on that staff as a WR coach and later passing game coordinator. My point is that is pretty easy to look like an offensive genius when you have Kiffin, Chow and pretty much the “cream of the west coast†four and five star talent in those days with Pete Carroll.
Matthew Caldwell is the only one with any experience. Played at Troy for the 2024 season … started the final five games of the season, leading Troy to a 3-2 record in those games. All the others are freshmen or redshirt freshmen.
All I know is I wouldn't trade Ty Simpson for Arch at alllllll..
He's the ShortHorn's problem..

“His footwork is horribleâ€Â…â€Âhis mechanics are horribleâ€Â…â€Âhis accuracy is terribleâ€Â…â€Âhe’s only playing because of NIL dealsâ€Â
Pretty crazy actually
