Who are you more tired of hearing about: Bronny James or Arch Manning ?
- Thread starter Uncle Adolph
- Start date
I haven't heard much about Archie Manning. And I know we haven't heard people like Peyton or Cooper talking about him on TV, the way Lebron talks about his kid.
Lebron basically helped cause the buzz around his kid. You didn't see that with the Manning family. Archie Manning has been said by some, that he could be the best of all the Mannings.. where as there's almost zero chance Lebrons kid is as good as him. Plenty of famous stars have kids go on to play, but because they aren't as good as their parents.. you don't hear about them. But Arch Manning is seemingly right there with the other Mannings and that's why it's note worthy.

Where you hearing things? I haven’t heard much about either one of them. I guess manning got a big NIL deal recently
The difference in the two is that Manning, by all accounts, is the absolute real deal. Bronny is largely manufactured by the media.
You all must not follow college football at all if you haven't heard much about Arch Manning. He was ranked one of the top prospects, if not the top prospect, for the class of 23. He has been talked about constantly on major sports networks during college football coverage. His recruitment was one of the most covered by the media of any other HS football player in a long time. His NIL deal is in excess of 3 million dollars. He has been covered on major media outlets way more than Bronny, who in contrast, ISN'T ranked near as high as a HS prospect.
That being said, I saw the video from his Texas spring game performance. It was pretty underwhelming.

Since I only watch games and have stopped with the talking heads at ESPN, I haven’t heard much about either lately.
Same. Only time I ever put the channel on is to watch a game.
Both but I think Arch has a better chance of being a top player in the pros. The Mannings churn out top QB’s, having those genes and that teaching his entire life sets him up for success. Now LeBron genes are obviously amazing but basketball sons have made it less often and the Mannings have multiple HOF QB’s in the family already. I think Bronny is way better now than I thought he would be though.
Saying he is gonna be better than Peyton, but bronny has no chance to be lebron??! Peyton is the best QB to ever throw a football. If he had a team around him most years you would have witnessed that.
Tom Brady waves hello…. With a handful more rings on.
Even then he’s what, top 5 for sure? Anybody saying Archie will be better than Peyton is crazy.
I personally think that’s trending in the opposite direction.
Manning put up zero competition for the starting gig at UT already and every time I see Bronny he’s clearly gotten better.
Bronny can stroke it from 3 for sure and does have some sneaky impressive hops. Just doesn’t have the ball handling ability to put it on the floor and get to the rack, yet.
I’m much more tired of hearing about Bronny but I’m also willing to admit he’s becoming a pretty impressive prospect.
Oh, I agree. That’s setting the bar waaayyyy too high. Peyton was a GREAT QB.
Bronny is worse and it’s not on the kid. His Daddy and ESPN are the hype train leading the parade.
I love it when people voice an opinion and try to pass it off as fact.
Bronny won't be Lebron because he won't be 6'8 270
Didn’t Peyton Manning play a good chunk of his career with 3 Hall of Famers to get the ball to.
Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and Edgerrin James?
This is mostly me. I don't care much for the sports talk shows and mainly just watch games so I haven't heard much about either. I know who they are and how highly ranked they are coming into college but that's about all I hear about them. Muchly because of my own chkuce to listen or not to the media talk.
Arch bc he isn't going to be the starter or see significant playing time unless there's an injury.
Bronny on the other hand will surely see plenty of minutes wherever he decides to go.

He did. But so many of this Colts teams had wretched defenses. And yes I acknowledge having Freeney and Mathis to get after the QB when the offense got the lead but those defenses usually came undone in playoff football.
I've heard crap said about Bronny James for around 6 months, but the kid looks like a first tier kind of player. Real good shooter. If his name was Floyd Cramer or something nobody would be bad mouthing him.
That said, it's tough to have a parent who was so obviously a mega-star. There are children of "stars" who have done ok. Henry Fonda's kids. Michael Redgrave's kids. (Ask your grandparents about them.) But mostly their own careers fizzle out quickly. I can't imagine also having the star parent pushing you. That seems like a double whammy. And to be tagged with an ootsy-cutesy variant of the parent's name? Jeez-louise, Le Bron. Your kid is NOT an extension of you.

Bingo , he is no where near the top recruit in the class but to ESPN you would think we was a seven star recruit. He is not actually a five star I don’t believe. It’s not the kid’s fault though really.
A little OT but has there been any hype on Bryce yet?
Looks like he has a chance to be as tall as LeBron.
