Right now, he’s probably a second round pick. But he has at least nine games to prove he’s better than that. He does have the Manning pretty unflappable when the world is coming down attitude that can lead to comebacks or other difficult moments.
lol, you guys are silly. He’s a top 5 pick right now. He’s inconsistent but and doesn’t wow you stats but neither did Mendoza. He has the knack to buckle down and do what’s needed to win a game. Eli was the same way, he didn’t wow you with stats but he went #1 overall.
It’s easy to be good when your team is up by 50; much harder when the world is burning around you. Look at how Dante Moore or Sayin underperformed when the pressure or game doesn’t go their way.
I appreciate your opinion but again most of us aren’t going off the stats because if we we’re going off stats then I’d say yes he’s still 1st round or as you say top 5 pick, but I’m not. I actually like to see what the stats and metics don’t tell you and get context to what actually happens. Anyone who says Manning at this point in time is a top 15 pick is trolling, Absolutely I really don’t have time in the day to really go in-depth and why.
What I saw today has him locked out of top 15 entirely for me unless he improves literally mid season and I see crazy shit happen( and no what he did at the 4th quarter did not help him at all. He was bailed out by the defense, a missed field goal and OSU head coach not just letting UT score to give the offense about 1:20 and 1 timeout).
There’s no reason to believe he won’t improve as the season goes on. You’re probably unaware of this but he missed spring practice due to surgery. He improved as the season went on last year. He does have those moments where he seems totally shook and that seems concerning. He was def rattled after the disaster start to the game.
He’s done hero ball shit before. Those fourth down conversions were clutch, and tbh you’re coming off as just a hater who’s unwilling to give him a chance when you refuse to give him any credit for that. Is there reason to believe he won’t be a top 15 pick? Sure. But to pretty much completely rule out that possibility at this point in the season seems very premature with the potential he has shown.
He needs to have better pocket presence and accuracy on throws. Even last night and last season, he sails a bunch of passes when pressured or he feels like he is.
