Yeah, he didn't play well today.

Weird comment out of the blue. LOL

You were telling me King was the best QB in the ACC / in America in this very thread.

You're shitting on Arch Manning, who is ten times the QB Haynes King is.  Just wondering why you didn't trash Haynes King all afternoon, when he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn when it counted.

Arch "Riley Leonard" Manning

He slid in the first half on one run where he could've gotten more yardage and I told my buddy "if I'm the Texas coach I'm telling Arch you're not a slider, when you run I need you getting ever yard you can". I don't think he's slid since. When you suck at throwing you better not be sliding.

Because I wasn't watching that game and yeah, I'd take Haynes King 10 times put of 10 over the current version of Arch.

I've never said he's the best QB in the country, I've said he's the best QB in the ACC. Because he is. That's not a screaming endorsement for ACC QBs. But yeah, I like the dude. He plays his ass off.

And 10 times out of 10 you'd be an unemployed Head Coach or General Manager.  But it would be fun to watch Taysom Hill v.2.0 play QB for you, when he should be playing TE or RB.

I'm not talking about the NFL. I'm talking about college. I wouldn't spend a draft pick on either one of them in '26.

I'm not talking about the NFL either.  I'm talking any level. 

Other than Navy, Army and Air Force, there is literally not a single coach or GM who would agree with your assessment. 

Haynes King is a RB dressed up as a QB.  He's lucky he goes to a school where their history is the nonsensical wishbone, option bullshit. 

Arch Manning is (currently) a below average QB (given his name), who is still a way better QB than Haynes King will ever be.  At any level.

Sorry he banged your wife and all but he's still a better college QB right now than Arch and doing more with a lot less supporting cast.

Wife? I'm not stupid enough to sign up for giving someone half my poo when I'm tired of her.

But if I was married, I would certainly hope my wife picked a Manning (any Manning) over a shitty version of Haynes King.

I just think it's funny how much you hate a pretty likeable player. Yeah, Arch has a much higher talent ceiling but he's doing less with a lot better surrounding talent. If I had to win a college game tomorrow and was picking between Haynes or Arch I'm taking Haynes all day everyday. He's not a great passer, but he's honestly a considerably better passer than Arch right now and he's the tougher runner. It's an easy call.

    • That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.   
    • This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce. 
    • No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
