I think Arch got knocked the fug out on his one snap he played. The announcers never picked up on it and talked about it but I'm not sure Arch was even available.

It will be really interesting to see Arch next year, he must the most hyped player in a long time

Texas uses him like Taysem Hill anytime they put him in the game. I'm not sure what the hype is all about.

The hype is he is a manning, he is fast, his arm is jaw dropping and his highlights thus far are mesmerizing.  I would prefer 2 solid years of production before you draft someone but in this case if he has a decent to good year he is going #1 and there probably isnt a close 2nd.   Texas will be the most watched team next year but a long shot because of him and the media/fan hype.

Seems physically very similar to Herbert and Maye. We'll see how he plays as a full time starter. It was gonna be interesting to see if Texas would force Ewers out if he won them a natty but with them coming up short and him not playing well in the loss id say that book is closed. He's out and Arch is gonna be in. They have an entire off-season to listen to their fans and probably their boosters talking about how Arch should've been playing THIS year.

His last name is Manning.

Any other qb with the exact same skills would get some hype, but would largely be unknown to college football fans at large.

Name alone doesn't impress me. All I've seen him do is run.

His production is pretty insane

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
