Good, I wasn't the only one who thought that.
I thought that when I saw @JAYBLAZE posting. Ain't seen him post in a while then he pops back up. Lol

You mean from his visits? I think a lot of schools have recruits wear #1 jerseys

Manning is an interesting prospect. A lot of people who watch the film say he's probably closer to a low 4 star, high 3 star talent but because of his last name, he is getting a massive boost in rankings. IMO, that would cause more trouble than he's worth because fans who don't know any better will be demanding he play and calling the coach an idiot for putting another QB on the field. What's your opinion of Manning? Do you think he's as good as he's rated?

People just like to sound smart. His last name is Manning. That’s enough for me.

I thought the same about Irving and Testaverde Jr. Maybe Manning turns out to be special though. Whatever the case, I'm quite happy with our QB room as-is.

I am too. I just think this isn’t your usual last name type deal lol This is THE last name as far as QB’s go.

His genetics are such that he could be amazing.
But at this point, he hasn't been playing the toughest competition in high school. New Orleans isn't what it used to be, pre-Katrina.
If his mental toughness is such that he works harder than anyone, he will develop quite nicely. I just don't know why everyone assumes so much, based on his name alone. And if you notice, he didn't go out to Elite 11 or a bunch of the other events where you could at least get a "side-by-side comparison".

Thanks, Crib. I thought so but wasn't 100% sure. As you noted, one more example of attention to detail and professionalism at every level. I'm in awe.

Is he a tad overrated ? Yes. Is he a generational talent? No. Does his name garner him attention? Yes. But at this point I see a lot of hating on a kid from grown *** men in the media , who are trying to get sound bites. Trying their best Skip Bayless hot take. At this point It’s almost cliche to say he’s overrated or a three star.
The kid has more eyes on him than any HS player maybe in history, an unreal level of pressure and imo handled it all really well.
As a prospect he’s a legit four star imo , he also has a lot of tangibles to go with good physical talent. I wouldn’t bet against a qb named manning , he was bred for this. He was breaking down film and coverages as a jit. He’s also legit talented
I wouldn’t be shocked if he balled out at Texas. Tbh I‘d be more surprised if he didn’t.
