Get Ready for the Next QB Named Manning (Update: Arch to Texas) (1 Viewer)

[Mr. Blue Sky]

Get ready for the next quarterback named Manning.


Arch Manning, grandson of Archie Manning, nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, son of Cooper Manning, is still in eighth grade but played in a scrimmage Friday with the varsity team at Isidore Newman School, where his dad and both uncles also played their high school football.

The footage is impressive. Arch Manning looks like, well, a Manning. He has good accuracy, seems to command the offense well, and has mobility more reminiscent of his grandpa than his uncles.

.

Gotta say, i’m a little surprised i didnt already know about this kid.. i mean, i knew Cooper had kids a while back, but- boy time really flies if you’re not careful.

Something tells me we may me hearing a thing or two about Arch in the coming years.

Third generation Manning already an impressive quarterback prospect

i saw him pay as a 6th grader (he was in the grade, i was a bit older) archie was in the bleachers
he wasn't world beating or anything, but you could already see there was something about him

Of the people that I've talked to that have seen him play, the hype is real. He does not play or throw like a typical 13 year old. He's able to make throws that most high school QB's cannot make and he moves very well. Something neither Eli or Peyton did well. He's not 6'1" though. I think he's less than 6'
I watched Eli in 9th grade and he was a man amongst boys but I'm fairly certain he wasn't starting for the Varsity.

Arch, just might be the starter. He's that good.

Yeah- his name was Manning.

I saw somewhere else he was listed at 5’11”.. but he’s only an 8th grader, so will probably sprout up quite a bit more.

In any case, i’m already preparing myself for the inevitability that, in the great tradition of Mannings before him- he will undoubtedly spurn LSU for another SEC school... he just wouldn’t be a true Manning if he didnt do that. :-(

 

[SaintsJunkie]

oh wow he is 13? he looked like a high school qb except he threw more

 

[Bartyboy]

He is mobile like Dad and Grandpa. Arm like both his uncles.
5'11" or 6'1" at 13. Who cares.
I did stop growing at 13 so you never know.

If Drew can can hang around for 6 or 7 more years we may have a shot at him.

Knowing about Arch, from a current varsity player at Country Day, with excellent credentials himself, says Arch will be special. Watched Arch play multiple sports in his younger days at the playground level, he was way beyond his age in all sports. Go figure.

 

[Super44]

Yeah- his name was Manning.

He’ll end up being coached by Cutcliffe. The Mannings have a very close relationship and respect for Cutcliffe. Will not be surprised to see Arch at Duke.

The only reason Peyton didnt go to Ole Miss was he was told they were under investigation by the NCAA and hit with a Bowl ban. Arch will most likely follow his dad and grandpa and go to Ole Miss.

Don’t be surprised if it’s Bama or Ga. or Clemson.

 

[superchuck500]

Don’t be surprised if it’s Bama or Ga. or Clemson.

Why would he want to go win a national championship? That's silly.

 

[SubmarineMike]

Make it happen Loomis!

 

[FLIPPY]

Didn't he throw 2 ints as well?

Reports now saying that little Arch could be the most highly recruited player (not just qb) EVER to come out of Louisiana. That’s saying a lot!
Lots of college coaches hanging out over at Newman these days.
