Sellers is absolutely one to keep an eye on. Could be the next Cam or could be the next Anthony Richardson. Curious to see how he has progressed come this fall.

sellers, allar, manning, maybe nico could make this draft really qb heavy

 

But yeah man I really like sellers I think his arm is probably better then cams

 

I think I am in love

I mean, the kid comes from a wealthy family. It's not like he needs the money. He has a ton of potential now we get to see what he can do as a starter. Everyone penciling him in as the #1 overall pick is putting the cart way before the horse. It's 5% because of his talent and what he's showing on the field and 95% because his last name is Manning.

Lol its also not like he's Peyton or Elis son, but he didnt even sign NIL deals until recently when he would be the starter. Need the money or not that is respectable. 

I agree about on the field and disagree about talent, he's much much more athletic than either of his uncles.

 

But I'd be willing to bet a grand he will be the #1 pick when he enters the draft.

Nico is gonna have to sell the NFL on not being a complete diva. He's looking like Shedeur with actual talent so far. I mean, Caleb Williams overcame it and still went #1 so we'll see. The NFL will put up with a lot of BS if they think you have the goods. It's why I didn't understand a lot of the Shedeur draft backlash. Listen, none of that stuff would've mattered if the NFL thought he was an elite QB prospect.

There's no way the Manning family is letting Arch declare for the draft in 2026. The Manning's are smart and aren't pressed for money. They know Arch is gonna be the 1st pick whatever year he declares so I think they keep him in college till at least 2027 but I wouldn't be shocked if he stayed till 2028 to get 3 full seasons as a starter under his belt before going pro.

also its fuging wild to see how much praise Cade K is getting now all things considered.  His career was a trainwreck at the start now he is being mentioned as a heisman candidate

that would be the smart move but one wrong hit to the shoulder or knee can derail things

Why? If you're gonna go #1 why wait? Every snap in football has the real potential to be the last one you take or the one that results in an injury that leaves you a significantly diminished version of your former self. Guys like Ewers need to stay in college and collect NIL money until they run out of eligibility. High 1st rounders need to go.

Especially with his playing style. Physically and stylistically he's very similar to Drake Maye. But that style of play ups the injury risk for sure.

Hell, if anything I think the Mannings were fully willing to just keep Arch on the shelf limiting his exposure to injury risk in the college game. Just show what you can do for one year and bounce.

He's definitely sporadic. The raw talent is evident though.

I think it will depend on who's picking #1

The Manning's know just how hard it is mentally to play QB in the NFL so I really doubt they would let Arch go after 1 full season as a starter in college. He's making a boat load in NIL right now, so he doesn't need to leave for money reasons. Having him stay in college so he can fully develop as a QB before he goes pro is the route they will go with. If they wanted him to go pro as soon as possible he wouldn't have stayed or even went to Texas. Steve Sarkisian sold the Manning family on being able to develop Arch as a QB and I feel like they are going to be patient.
