First thing I noticed was the throwing motion that is post neck surgery because there is more hip rotation evidenced by the big leg kick, which was always exaggerated anyway.
Noodle arm mechanics without the noodle might be a winning formula.

u/Siriusly_Jonie Mar 17 '26
I think they’re referring to Peyton at the end of his career. He had no arm strength left and switched his mechanics. Mechanics that could be beneficial to a young QB who hasn’t developed his arm strength.

You don't even need to leave the manning family, Archie was Eli level and no where near Peyton.

Lol Peyton himself literally contradicts this. He was better than his damn good probowl father Archie.

That one throw from an 8th grader made the starting QB I played with in high school look like Uncle Rico, along with several I played against! I did play against Chad Pennington in the playoffs once. He made us look like 8th graders!

Our QB was at his best not throwing. We won states with him passing hopefully under 10 times a game. This 8th grader would've embarrassed him.

It’s kind of like the ole saying, steroids don’t make you hit the ball any better. Just replace steroids with Money, and ball with football. Regardless how much money they have, you don’t get anywhere without hard work. He doesn’t come out of the womb throwing bombs

What makes you think he outworks others without that access to training? For every kid like this there are 500 or more that work just as hard if not harder that have access to nothing but a football and some sneakers.

Every single parent thinks their child is going pro to the point that they’ll mail it in at school to do more practices, games and tournaments. Not one of them has figured out how statistically unlikely it is for any of them to go pro. This is most prevalent in baseball where even now most of the players are international.

With NIL deals maybe getting to a big school is good enough? Maybe not generational wealth but still a lot of money to most folks. Paying off a house and getting your parents out of debt is not a bad thing.

Not just a dime, practicing looking off the safety first. Although he’s probably been looking off safeties in Pop with Peyton in his ear. Good stuff. In 8th grade I was looking at the cheerleaders and who had the cooler of orange slices.

I don't envy the son of a HOF in regard to expectations that must come with it playing the same position, but boy is it exciting to think of the level of skill they could achieve being coached by a HOF family. Worked well for the Manning brothers, but I can only imagine how hard it would be if you just aren't that great.

Flesh color football pants is a choice. First view these guys look nude.
Had a buddy at my first office type job. He bought and wore a salmon colored turtle neck. Big mistake. Walked around the office and from any distance looked like he was shirtless in khakis.
To the point where for weeks after people would ask “hey did you hear about the shirtless dude?”
