Why, Exactly, Is Arch Manning Good?
Episode Notes
Yahoo Sports’ Nate Tice joins Richard in this new episode of “Scheme School,” focused on one very famous QB. Arch Manning finally takes the reins of the Texas Longhorns this weekend at Ohio State. For a quarterback who’s been talked about more than any other QB prospect in maybe the whole history of the sport, we haven’t talked much about the specifics of Manning’s game.
* What we’ve seen in limited reps so far
* What, specifically, Manning is good at. “Eyes” and “balance” come up a lot.
* The things he hasn’t done well in a small sample. You can’t go broke taking a profit, but Manning hasn’t always taken it
* How Steve Sarkisian’s offense makes Manning easier to project as an NFL quarterback, and how that might affect his future plans
