I think there were way too many people over reacting to Arch in the first game vs Ohio State.

Joel Klatt had the best take I heard. Arch was making the first legit start of  his college career and he lost to the defending national champions at their place by 7 points, with a chance to tie or win at the end of the game. Klatt also said this was the first game Arch started on the road in his career.

Was probably a combination of nerves + the atmosphere + Ohio State having a good defense. Ohio State did lose a ton of starters defensivly the draft but they kept a few, including a starting CB Igbinosun and probably a top 10 pick in next year's draft, Saftey, Caleb Downs.  Klatt was saying he made ton of odd mistakes in his first away start as well. 

It's going to take time for him to learn how to play well against real good defenses. He got a few snaps in against Georgia last year and didn't look great either. 

Bold prediction by 2032 we will have two Manning QBs in the NFL again.

All of that is what it is, but the reality is that his passing mechanics were absolute trash. He literally looked like Uncle Rico out there. That wasn't nerves or not being ready for that level of competition. That was just flat out trash passing fundamentals which was shocking to see from someone with that last name.

Igbinosun a top 10 pick??? That dude got absolutely ROASTED last year and when he wasn't getting burned badly he was getting flagged. Unless he's improved dramatically he's not an NFL player.

Dude you are pretending that because somthing is your opinion its a fact again, I don't know what Manning did to you for this irrational rage boner you have against him.

Show us on the doll LinvilleGorge 

Prior to the game Igbinosun has been a projected 3rd rounder.

      Well I should also say another caveat is positional value. You have to be careful violating that. For the scenarios you are describing, those are also things that free agency is for. Free agency should always set up the draft. Improve the roster and then go shopping for things to potentially take your roster up a notch.  Lastly, we are in scenario 2. Our roster is still not good and we have holes at most position groups. We are actually in the "BPA All Day" range.

      I'm very interested in seeing the specifics of these cases. The term "illegal gambling" makes me think this is unrelated to typical sports betting/point shaving and related to something else on the side. That kind of stuff worries me much less than something like we saw with Jontay Porter happening on a larger scale. I absolutely think the feds need to be keeping a much closer eye on this stuff given how much more sports betting is going on these days. I honestly don't care that much if it's a Calvin Ridley situation where a player is betting on league games that he's not playing in; I can see why that isn't allowed, but I don't think that presents a major threat to the integrity of the game on any kind of large scale. IMO, the larger threat to sports in general isn't a large-scale organized crime operation but a bunch of smaller operations or even just individuals who are willing to do what Jontay Porter did. He was a relatively insignificant player in the grand scheme of things, but it's entirely possible we see this type of thing more and more even at the highest levels of sports. If gambling is going to be legalized to the extent that it has been, there needs to be better regulation and a very strong set of rules in place for the sportsbooks, the bettors and for the leagues/teams themselves. I don't get the sense that is the case right now.
