Every since i got to work this morning the Sip nuts have done nothing but come up with excuses, and blame his teammates for his performance... just thought it is pretty funny...

That's on same level as Aggies being nitpicky and overly critical about Reed after a good performance.

The rest of his team played pretty well. He was just making bad throws and playing scared of the pressure. When your quarterback is repeatedly side-arming the ball to open receivers and hitting them in the shins, it's not anybody else's fault.

So has the sports media.

All the sips I work with suddenly dont walk to talk about football at all.

Good. **** them and their toxic sports program

Agreed, side-arming the ball is not a good thing.

OP, I'd tap the brakes a bit. t.u. played tOSU. On the road. Meanwhile, we muddled through a W at home against mighty utsa. Arch being "bad" doesn't make us good. Let's get a meaningful win before we start spiking the football on t.u.'s terrible season.

The Manning brand is what the media is protecting.

Their QB hit more dirt than hands. Nothing to tap the breaks about. Plays were there. He failed COMPLETELY ON HIS OWN.

I'm sorry telling the truth about a terrible QB makes you uneasy. Grow a pear.

USAToday did a re-rank of all FBS teams and neither we nor UTSA budged…

Just watched his interview and my thoughts and predictions:

First, anyone that thought he was a perfect 5-star coming out of HS doesn't know football. Kid was a legit 4-star but not a 5-start in terms of his performance and ability to get his 2A private catholic team into a state championship.

1) He is a well raised, very humble and respectable individual. I respect everything about him and his family other than their poor choice to play at Texas.
2) He is super young and shows a bit of his immaturity. Don't get me wrong, he interviewed well and handled it very well. I just didn't realize how very young he is without much of a strong, confident demeanor that more veteran players have. Just an observation.
3) For the kid to live up to the hype, he absolutely needs to play for Texas as a starter for 2 full seaons, maybe 3. This year, he isn't going to do anything out of the ordinary and he isn't even close to a top SEC QB. Kid has always had the red carpet rolled out. Since the day he was able to pick-up that Nerf football. He has NOT faced any adversity in his life and that was clear as day against OSU. He needs a full year in the SEC to develop into one of the top 5 QBs in the SEC.
4) Marcel Reed is far, far, far ahead of him in terms of his development.

I hope Texas fans get restless and talks about QB #2 comes into serious consideration. Pure drama within the team that ruins the culture.

I hope Arch is successful long-term (with disappointing college statistics) and follows more in Eli's footsteps. Develops in the NFL to maintain the Manning name and into the Hall of Fame. Again, great kid, great family. Just poor choice of a team and coach to play under.

He was something awful against OSU. He looked clueless and scared to death. In 4th, he improved but OSU had moved to prevent and was allowing the short throws. I'm sure he will do well against lesser competition but I can't wait to play them in Austin. Kid will have SEC PTSD by then.....

classic sips, cry babies if they lose, can't put a sock in it if they win

Remember Sims displacing Applewhite?

Tap the brakes on reed, he cant reliable throw a completion of 20 yards.

There is a reason Arch couldn't beat out Ewers. Also remember he was an early enrollee so this is year 3

Did the OP edit it out, because there is nothing about A&M in the post?

There's only one thing worse than a winning sip and that's a losing sip!

True, but I'll take the losing sip over the winning one any day.

Well if only his Wr's were 20 feet tall, we'd be saying a different thing.

Arch will be fine by the A&M game with the undisputed givens of it being a home game with home ref cooking and A&M's ability to bungle up everything.

You won't have to be tormented by your weird sip work husbands come late November.

Arch won't be qb by the time our game gets here.

They don't have a great stable of qbs... fingers crossed

Some of y'all want Reed to fail so bad. It's crazy.

OSU would have beaten us 52-10, and those 10 would not have been scored before the 4th quarter.

Had t.u. played UTSA, they would have won 42-3 and Arch would have thrown for 3, rushed for 1 TD, and had about 3 fiddy through the air.

Reed is younger than Manning.

Now that's funny!

Holy chit….. did you just tell someone to grow a pear?????

Is that like a Bartlett pear… or two Bartlett pears???
Just say nuts ….

Archery reminded me a lot of Weigman against Notre Dame last year.

This is about Uncle Rico Arch. That's it. Not if A&M could beat Ohio State on the road.

I'm glad Atch looks like a mess. This will not allow Texas to not take advantage of their easy SEC schedule.

And Aggies that cannot enjoy this, not sure what to think. This is great. The sips fan base has been waiting for this guy for 3/4 years to play. The day he committed to them. Even two years ago, I saw them wearing Arch shirts everywhere.

And now in his first big game to start he craps the bed and looks like Uncle Rico. It's glorious. Even better, his issues don't seem fixable bc if he has not corrected bad mechanics by this point with all the coaching he's been provided, it's not happening. Just have fun with it. It's OK to do that.
