00:00It's true. You would expect that he would have it in the blood.

00:03That's it. It's just his last name is Manning.

00:05But he's 6'4". He's a really good athlete.

00:08He was the number one overall recruit coming out of high school.

00:13But the argument is that's only because of his name, and it's not just his name.

00:18And where was Ryan Clark before week one?

00:20I mean, it's a great take to have after he's embarrassed by Matt Patricia,

00:23but did Ryan Clark say he sucked before the game?

00:26It is such a great point, though, about his high school.

00:28When you look at a guy like Kyler Murray, who nobody thinks is an NFL Hall of Famer,

00:32didn't lose a single high school game in the state of Texas,

00:35which is the hardest high school program in the country.

00:39Listen, I think Arch Manning has got more pressure than Shador.

00:44Shador was a high recruit, but he wasn't the recruit that Arch Manning was.

00:50But we all thought he was going to be good because his dad was Deion Sanders,

00:53just like we think Arch Manning's good because he's part of the game family.

00:56Well, Shador, you can't take it out of the way, Shador was good in college.

01:00And granted, it's only one game, so I'm not going to, you know, hit the eject button on it.

01:06You're not going to bury Arch Manning.

01:07No.

01:07Deion also didn't play quarterback.

01:08And how many games did Shador Sanders start against a team as loaded as Ohio State?

01:14Yeah, not many.

01:15So I'm not going to, as I said, I'm not going to hit the eject button.

01:19But I will say that he and all of college sports, and I start to think of guys and dealing with pressure in every sport.

01:26I don't think there's been a kid like Arch Manning that has this much pressure on him because of the last name.

01:33And like what Curtis said, now Lucy in the car is saying, poor Jimmy from Alabama,

01:36whose entire family is counting on him, more pressure.

01:39Like we're talking about two completely different things, the pressure of having to support your family

01:45and the pressure of the entire country watching every move you make is two different types of pressure.

01:51But he's been prepped for that his whole life.

01:52We saw his high school games like LeBron.

01:54Yeah, but there's a difference though, right?

01:56Because poor Jimmy, who's trying to support his family, if he doesn't make it, he's got to figure it out and grind it.

02:02No one cares.

02:02No one knows about it.

02:03If Arch Manning doesn't make it, he becomes the biggest bust in all of sports.

02:11That's something that will just constantly go with him no matter where he goes.

02:17Couldn't happen to a nicer family.

02:20Until Peyton's son gets old enough to get to college.

02:24Now if you want to talk about the component regarding race, we can talk about how nobody gives the Mannings a hard time

02:29for trying to reorder the draft in honor of Eli.

02:31But we talk about Jador and Deion all the time.

02:34Is there room for him next season on the Manning cast?

02:37Could be.

02:38It could be.
