I wish them the best I'm tired of hearing about them.

Not even remotely close. Bronny is the king of sports nepo babies. A bench riding scrub on his college team who is given a guaranteed NBA contract solely due to his daddy.

They both seem like perfectly decent guys. But Archie Manning really has a chance to be a starting QB, even if he needs a little more work. Bronny is just not talented enough for the NBA. Hes going to be out of the league in a few years, if not sooner.

Not even in the same stratosphere. Bronny was a borderline DI player. Still a really good basketball player and better than anyone you play against at the YMCA but he is far from an NBA player. Arch Manning is an unbelievable talent. He hasn't been able to pull it together but even with his struggles he is a legit pro. Some think he falls to the second or third round but I wouldn't be shocked if an NFL team gobbled him up in the first round. Too much talent and too much upside for him to slide too far.

Bronny because he’s worse at basketball than Arch is at football.

However, if Arch’s last name was Jones and his uncles were a blacksmith and an accountant, he would be on zero draft boards.

Hey at least Bronny and Arch have to put in the work to get to this level.. the real Nepo babies are in Hollywood. Born into rich families or families of actors/directors and they seemingly are just handed roles until they eventually make it work. Dakota Johnson is an awful actress, every performance is like a statue. Lily Rose Depp? Margaret Qualley? Bleh. Good looking actresses, hardly any acting talent.

I promise you, whatever that weird **** was you just made me watch, not only was massively edited, cut and modified.. it was still just a dance routine.

Say what you will about Arch or Bronny.. theres no film trailers to run off to after filming, or banquets of food, or dedicated assistants fetching them things. They still had to do two-a-days in the Texas heat or run suicides when the team made a mistake. Just like the rest of their teams did. They both put in endless work, since they were in elementary school, to get to where they were before turning pro.. a heck of a lot more "work" than the Nepo kids did in Hollywood.
