The Bryce discourse has really gone off the rails. I’ve been guilty of it. Arch Manning was mega ASS for large parts of last season. (m)

And he was in year 3 with a very talented roster. Bryce probably should have redshirted last year but was forced to play under bad circumstances. This year he is in a new system with all new coaches. Yes, he did not look improved in game one. But he is still very young and deserves the time to develop.

Back to the board

  - Vince Young and Arch Manning are the proper upside comps. PSU QBs are the downside. * - By plug September 11, 2026 at 12:51:39 PM
    - Has arch manning proven upside?* - By harbaughdyssey September 11, 2026 at 12:57:02 PM
      - I think so. He’s Top 5 in almost all NFL mock drafts. He could prove those wrong by sucking this year, I guess. * - By plug September 11, 2026 at 12:59:18 PM
        
        He was top 5 in many last year and then came back because he was likely not draftable* - By harbaughdyssey September 11, 2026 at 01:02:49 PM
        
        but there’s a ton more game experience on tape now. I’d argue last year was pure speculation. Almost all programs would have taken him as a transfer and immediate uncontested starter. * - By plug September 11, 2026 at 01:06:22 PM
- Writing him off entirely would be insane. So would trotting out Carr as a true Fr vs. OU. Odds of him being in A2 next year definitely dropped in my book after last week, but that's from guaranteed to be here to still likely.* - By LewisBullox September 11, 2026 at 12:31:12 PM
- Lesson to learn, thanks to Indiana (Miami and others to lesser extent): Dont recruit HS QBs who expect to start early, spend roughly the same for the best of the portal* - By onb September 11, 2026 at 12:29:27 PM

- He has also shown he can have great games. He needs to find that confidence and timing again.* - By WOK September 11, 2026 at 12:28:19 PM
- Reasonable. The mistake of missing (our) expectations. Bryce's demeanor is not doing him any favors.* - By BigLake September 11, 2026 at 12:26:51 PM

- He gets paid money, which means hambone is allowed to say Tommy Carr is better. (nm) - By suede September 11, 2026 at 12:26:34 PM
  - I like Hambone, but he wouldn't vote for Harris and said Roddy Gayle wasn't a high major Div 1 player* - By BBA September 11, 2026 at 12:32:30 PM
