Steve Spurrier questions why Arch Manning did not play more in 2024 if the hype is real
Steve Spurrier questioned why Arch Manning was a backup for the Texas Longhorns last season amid 2025 preseason hype.
Spurrier dropping Manning bombs...

- Start date
Or maybe he sucks
I would like to think that's true, but from what I've seen, he only needs PT at this point. He's got all the raw tools and can actually run a little bit. I'm sure Archie doesn't want him to run, but sometimes all QBs at all levels need to run and it could be the single play that wins a big game. So, unless he gets hurt, we'll see him Oct. 25 @ DWS.
He'll put up Heisman-level numbers in Starkvegas.
I think Sark was probably playing the wrong QB at least the last half of last year. Sark could be in for some criticism this year. If young Manning lives up to the hype, why the heck didn't you play him last year? If he doesn't, that's two straight highly hyped QBs who have under-performed.
His decision making seemed drunk at times
I think it was typical coach's loyalty. Manning probably isn't all he is made out to be. However I am sure he is as good as Ewers. I was a little surprised by his speed. He is no speed merchant but quicker that his uncles.
His TD run, (edit) watching the replay, manning looks average speed. We looked slow AF and not even trying to hit him. Damn it.

I saw all I needed to see when Manning tried to run on Ohio State, he looked like a first year freshman the way he ran on this one and got up with sea legs and had to leave the game. He was not ready for big boy ball last year, Spurrier knows that as well as anyone. Guessing he goes full Peyton in 2025 and drops back and dumps it when he gets pressure.

One thing about Spurrier is that we hated what he would say when it was about us, but he always had a thread of asking the same question that everyone else was thinking
We made it very easy for young Manning when he played against us.
And nobody within 10 yards of multiple receivers on most pass plays. And that Red Sea parting defense right before halftime may have been the worst play all year, which says a lot.
I mean spurrier was known for throwing the new guy in a lot.Steve Spurrier questions why Arch Manning did not play more in 2024 if the hype is real

Having a guy sit and develop 2 years isn't a bad thing, but he is right in regards to the Heisman hype. He may end up being phenomenal and he may not.
Eh. There is some doubt.
Might be good and might not. We haven't seen enough.
