Arch Manning’s wild ride at Texas sparks debate: is the Longhorns’ golden boy truly a franchise quarterback in the making, or does his inconsistent play at quarterback raise deeper questions about his 2027 NFL Draft stock?
Damian Parson and Keith Sanchez break down Arch Manning’s rollercoaster season, scrutinizing his high-pressure lineage, inconsistent accuracy, and decision-making under center. The conversation spotlights pivotal moments against Tennessee and UTSA, questions how Manning stacks up in a loaded Texas offense alongside talents like Ryan Wingo and Cam Coleman, and examines whether traits and tools outweigh proven production at the quarterback position. With direct comparisons to names like Brock Purdy, Josh Allen, and Eli Manning, this episode asks: is it time to bench, stash, or build around Arch in the NFL?
Join the debate and get an inside look at Manning’s prospects, the shifting evaluation landscape, and what it takes to earn the “franchise quarterback” label.

Today we debate whether or not Archmaning is truly a potential NFL franchise quarterback for the 227 NFL Draft.
He says yes, I say not yet. You are Lockdown NFL Draft. Your daily podcast covering the NFL Draft. Part of the Lockdown Podcast Network. Your team every day. Welcome back. I'm Damien Partsman. That's Keith Sanchez and this is the Lockdown NFL Draft podcast. Make sure to follow and listen over at Amazon Music. So you never miss an episode in today's episodes all about the Golden Boy. He himself missed their Archmaning quarterback for the Texas Longhorns. Later on in the show we're going to talk about. Does he lack consistent or does he lack accuracy as a pocket passer? We're going to talk about is it traits and tools over improving production a little bit later on? But we don't keep this thing off. Is Archmaning a frant a potential franchise quarterback for the NFL Draft? Keith, I say no. I know you have him as your QB1. So I believe that you say yes. Talk to the people Keith. How do you view him and why do you view him as a potential franchise quarterback?
Yeah, I look at it. I mean, without a doubt, I think he's a franchise quarterback at this point. And I think we have to have the bigger conversation of what is a big conversation? I think it's a big conversation. I think it's a big conversation. So I think we've got to go. That's a big conversation. And I think we have to have the bigger conversation of what is a franchise quarterback? Because I think if you X ten different people you're going to get ten different definitions of that, right? If you put the threshold that they can carry an entire team, if you put the threshold that they can win Superboys. If you put the threshold at they throw for 400 yards in three touchdowns, right? So I think there are various different ways that you can look at franchise potential for Archmaning. I think he's a franchise quarterback just because of what he's dealing with now. And I don't think that can be overlooked, right? Obviously being a man and right, following in the footsteps of his grandpa, his uncles, his father, right? The entire situation, that much pressure. They're probably going to be five to ten other people walking the earth that'll feel that type of pressure. And one of those is Bronny James, right? To follow up a legend in that order playing the same as that sport.
So I think he deals with that part fairly well. I think the port that is skipped and where we have to have the conversation about, too, is wearing the entire way to the world on your shoulders and then translate net to the NFL. Because we see a lot of NFL quarterbacks, DP, whether they come from college, have a lot of success. And then they struggle with having the entire franchise on their back. The port that I give archman and a checkmark is he's already used to that, right? Like he's been famous since he was 13, 14 years old. And he decided to throw a football and new him in high school, right? Like he's had these many offers. So franchise potential looking at it from that perspective, DP, just a mental part of it. I think he has. So, you know, for me, Keith, I, and this is all in context of the 27 NFL draft. And I say, I say, no, I'm going to tell you why I say no. Watching him, like we see the NFL, one thing we know about the NFL, the NFL, is to you up a spits you right back out. And archmaning the way he's played this year, he's not played consistent football.
He's been like, I think I used to, I think I talked about this with, was it John Materer, like Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde or whatever, and I used it for arts. I was like, he's very health or skelter in terms of, man, you see some, like against Tennessee. We see some good throws. He started that game pretty hot. Like he was on, he was in rhythm. He was rolling. And then you start seeing him ball placement. The further down feel he throws, the least accurate, the less accurate he is. And the ball placement isn't ideal for in those situations. I think this is a young man that absolutely, yet, this, the pressure is there in this true. I said, you know, the first, the beginning of season, like who's under the most pressure? Archmaning, because he's a manning. And everybody put these expectations that you've got to be patent or Eli. And it didn't make sense to do that to that young man. But for me, it's just like, when you talk about franchise quarterbacks, yes, keep, no, it's different, right? Like if it's turn of that, Chambers, and I'm telling Trinidad to be a jaw-shallowing, and the more Jackson Pat Moms, no, you're not built in that same, you don't have that type
of frame, right? I can't actually carry a bunch of, a bunch of stones and everything. Would you view Trinidad as a franchise quarterback? I think it's because in, in, I'm an ex, I'm an ex, I'm an ex, I'm an ex, you know, an ex that has a follow-up question. Because are we judging him on the manning scale? Is that part of it? Is that, you know, are we looking at him as like, hey, are you a manning franchise quarterback and not looking at it as, hey, can you be a franchise quarterback overall? Yeah. I think that's a question. And you may not. That's what I'm asking. Yeah. No, I like that you asked that question. In the context of like, like you talked, like we were talking about like jaw-shallowing and like these, those, those dudes, what we call them trucks, I wouldn't put Trinidad in that spot, right? Because again, to, to, to do that, you got to be a different cat to deal with, okay, once I get paid, I'm a loosen receivers, I'm a loosen defenders, and I still keep this team competitive because of what I bring to the table and I'm a truck. Can he be on the level of the Brock Purdy's and the, you know, just that next tier?
Yeah, 100%. So Trinidad, the reason why I say I'm not there with Archette and no, I'm not great in Arch on that manning scale because I don't believe that I don't, I think I said that I don't, I told you that I don't believe man. He's not, he's not patent and Eli. I can't do that to this kid. It's not fair. Like those guys played the game a different way than he does. And so for me, when I look at Arch, I look at him in terms of, is he a franchise quarterback right now? No, I don't see this as a guy that I would want to play just off of the first four games. I wouldn't want to play him as a rookie. I would not, it's too right now. There's too many evs and flows in this game for me to be like, okay, because we keep, we've seen it guys that are not ready for the end. That's my biggest thing. I don't think he's ready. It's not that I don't even think he's good that he, I don't think he's good. Um, because I did drop his grade over the last couple of weeks and like the UTSF film was very, very difficult to watch. That was some very, that was a very hard take to watch. He was, he was all over the place in that game, especially I think, I think gate first pass. He airmailed it over Cam Coleman's head to the fans. And I'm like, Arch, what is happening?
Right? They had a little concept when they ran a switch release between Ryan Wingo and Cam Coleman. Ryan, Ryan Wingo runs up speed out. Cam Coleman runs the corner route. Winkle is wide open and I know Winkle has his drops. We've definitely documented down this podcast. He drops the ball from time to time. And Arch sailed it. And I'm like, he's cleaning the pocket. He misses high. He sprays at times. So this, all this peaks and valleys, I just need him to settle in and give me consistency because if your inconsistent right now and is a thank you, we've talked about this. Arch is in a really good situation. Ryan Wingo is a talented player. You got two talented running backs, a talented offensive line, a talented play caller. Cam Coleman came over as a five star recruit. Cam over from Auburn because Auburn didn't have no quarterback. Yeah, Arch, if you were at Duke, it'll be way worse for you brother. Like, you know what I mean? Like, we can't, we can't, like it'll be way worse for you at Duke. It'll be way worse. The receivers aren't there. Old running. It'll be terrible for you.
Yeah. So obviously, I believe that Duke is a worse situation. But I think in the land of the transfer portal, I think we really don't know until the end, right? And what I mean by that is last year with Fernando Mendoza, right? Like we've seen talent. Yeah. But then also it wasn't until the end to draft Cam around and we was like, okay, first round where I was even, third round, why receiver, two NFL backs. And I think what his left tackle is starting for the Chiefs right now, albeit, you know, he went on draft. Right. You know, so I think we're in the error now. Like so I'll ask this that in the error of judging these guys, it's not the same when Alabama was rolling four while receivers out, right? At one time, you had four first round, right? Right. I think it's a different conversation from Joe Burrell, right? What happened to Marcee's Justin Jefferson, T Marshall, I mean, Terrence Marshall, right? Like in Clyde, with Salah, another first round running back and the thing, I don't know if if college teams are as loaded as they once were, right? I don't know. No, no, no, no.
It comes to offensive weapons. It might be Ohio State that's still operating together. That's the one. Yeah. That's the one. I don't know how to keep doing it, but they keep doing it. No, that's, I mean, that's a good point, Keith. I think Marshall, my point was like, you know, you have a lot right now. You go, we saw this with like Bryce Schoen. We've seen it with Strauss. We see it with other quarterbacks, man. You get drafted number one. You're going to typically a terrible team and you're going to, you got all the resources, money, this five star recruits, all these guys around you that are going to plan the NFL. Both your tackles are going to get drafted. Your running backs are going to get drafted. Your receiver is going to get drafted. They don't use a tie in for some reason that offense might help them to get them settled in by getting a big target that can work the middle of the field, but hey, I'm not an OC. You know what I mean? I'm not a head coach, Keith. I think it really helped them, but I just looking at it overall. That's my main thing is like, I don't, I don't look at Archmaning as a guy that I will start right now in the NFL. He would be a situation where I'm drafting the stash. He probably won't see the field for the entire first.
I'm pep my home. I'm going to pep my home, Sam. He doesn't see the field for majority of his rookie year. I'm actually this. Do you believe he's a first round quarterback right now? All for the film and the great because drafting and stash and what area do you think you can draft me? I think that's the conversation, right? Yeah. Um, so I did, I think I did drop his grades to like top of the second is this tape, the past couple weeks in the freshman, but I would say this, when I draft him the first round in stash, yes, I still would. I was still drafting him around one in stash. But I dropped it top 10. Top. Yeah, that's difficult. Unless I tweeted this out, I tweeted this out the other day. The New York Jess is the one team that if they wanted to take a court, but the way Geno Smith is playing right now, that's when you bring Geno back for another year. You draft that young quarterback and say, we will see you in 2028. Geno keep playing, keep doing your thing, doing your thing. I think that is one of them situations I'll be cool with. All right, D.P. Let's do this, man. Let's keep this conversation going, right? With Archmaning and we have the, the, the, the prototype conversation, the typical conversation,
right? Where we're going to judge tools versus the production, right? And D.P., I'm going to use one of your quotes against you, right? In this argument, in this conversation. Okay. Be ready. Be prepared. Let's keep this thing going. And then I'm going to do the training coming up next. With football season finally back, that means Sundays have gotten a whole lot more interesting.

You said you're going to flip it on me. I'm going to flip something on YouTube, brother, because you have always been the one... We've always been a little different in that regard. I've always been kind of a ceiling guy. You've been more of a... A, I need to see you do it. So when you look at the numbers, I want to give the people the numbers real quick, Keith, on what Archman has done is shit. Archman in 8602 yard passing, seven passing touchdowns, three interceptions, a QBR of 67.6 puts him in at like 44th in the country. He's completing 63.5% of his passes. I think for me, Keith, tools over production, I want to ask you, is where are you on that?
Because you've always been someone that you say... You always say like, I need to see you do it. I need the proven production. I need to watch the film and see that just at full... You at full strength just be anticipatory throws, all those type of things. To me, Keith, I'm like, man, he's really riding for arts. He loves Archmaning. Is it tools over production for you right now? This is production doesn't match what he could be right now. Yeah, DP, I think there's tools, there's production, and there's process. What I'm buying in is the fact that Archmaning has process. I think the production word DP, we looked at it two different ways. This one about the usual words against you, right? You always say what? Production doesn't travel with you from college to the end. It's not travel, right? That's right. That's why I link that way. I'm going to go with process, and I think we have some of the process conversation in our last segment also. But what the tools DP, there are flashes and there are moments. I think his evaluation is probably going to come down to very similar to Ty Simpson, I believe,
where there are going to be some very good games and there are going to be some games where you're going to be head scratching, right? But the highlight parts, right? It's the same conversation that I had with Ty Simpson and I had with Jellie Mural with the notion of it being Alabama. Deeply remember when I had this guy said, I don't think that's the same Alabama. Those were our keywords. Don't look as good as the other wire receivers, right? And I think that's where this conversation and this situation is going to get muddy. And we've seen Ty Simpson in preseason, look like he should have been the number one over opinion, right? Like just, I think, had some of the best preseason football of any rookie we've seen in 20 years, right? Just not with him up. Play well. Yeah, playing in that offense, right? And so I look at it from Archmaning and you asked the tools that are tools versus the production. I looked at it from the process, Ty, to the tools, right? The athleticism and I asked myself, okay, what Archmaning, what do you follow with this, right? Is an athletic Eli Manning a franchise quarterback? And this goes back to the first segment, right?
Like what if he's not, what if he's not painting, right? Which is painting talking about a three quarter back of all time, right? You're talking about it. Yeah. Of course, battle hall of fame. Yeah. Let's look at Eli, right? Eli was averaged to a little bit above average. So if he's in that genre of that tier, but a more athletic version of Eli Manning, then where does that fall, right? Because Eli was obviously the number one over up here. Eli won, he has the same amount of Superbowl's, this painting Manning, right? But Arch is a little bit, not even a little bit. Arch is more athletic, right? So I think that's the part where I fall in. I'm like, hey, I've seen him do it before, right? With that year, was that that was the year when Quinn, you was, I think, was still there. And he was a state game. Remember that? And he was throwing everything on time and he was dialing them up and was like, yeah, this looks like number one overall pick. I agree with you that there are some games that look frustrating as far as what's going on. And for our listeners, that's where this conversation derives, right? Because DP takes me to the morning and was like, I'm not sure about Arch, right? And then I looked at it and I was just like, I seen something totally different.
And I think that's what makes Scott and so fun because there's a gray area that you have to decipher and decide, am I going to lean left? Am I going to lean right with this conversation? So I'm looking at Arch and I'm looking at the tools. I think there are physical tools there. And the production part, I've seen them do it before. I think that's the thing. Like, let's bring up other quarterbacks. I'll be honest with you, watching Will Levis film. I don't think I ever seen Will Levis throw with anticipation and, right? Maribol in between the linebacker. No, but good night. It wasn't a part of the script, DP. But it wasn't embedded in that brain of his. So just throw 70 mile power, not 100 mile power. Yeah, it wasn't that I think that's why I made Will Arch DP. I'm still in on, I've seen him do it before and could it be more consistent? Yes, it needs to be more consistent. If this Texas team overall wants to reach the aspirations that they have, right? And right now, I'm going to roll team. But I also think too for him, the kind of relinquish some of the doubters, he's going to have to elevate his play and be more consistent.
But I look at this situation very similar to the tie Simpson, Simpson situation from last year. Yeah. Yeah, and I get that. I think for me, you know, when it comes under the to the, like you said, I definitely text you like that was just off the watch in the game. I was like, okay. And he wasn't bad. Don't get me wrong, guys. He was not bad against Tennessee. Like, they won their game. He wasn't bad. Um, UTS said he was bad. He was, he was not good against UTS said. I don't know what the heck that was. Um, but he was, he was solid against Tennessee. And for me, it's just like, you know, thinking about, because his my think he, I look at, you look at a true of that chambers at Ole Miss, look at Derry Menta and Miami. Heck, I'll even go back to Derry Menta 2025 at Duke. And you told him about putting what they both put on field, like to compare it to right now, right? Like Derry Menta at Duke last year and what Archman is putting on tape right now. Derry Menta's tape was better than what Archman's tape is more consistent too. In terms of being that natural thrower, watching Arch, like this was, so the production
thing is not, for me, it's not just the numbers. It's like it's process. I look at Arch and like you said, this time's where man back foot hits, it looks smooth. It looks in rhythm and he gets the ball out. And it's like, okay, that's what I would expect from a manning. And then you see plays where he's staring down the read and he's just sitting in the pocket, burping the baby and he's given the pass for his time to get home and then he gets sacked. This time's that he's got moments to throw. I think it was against Tennessee where the tight end was in the flats. They ran some type of, he was about to, I think it was like play action and he was about to boot out and the linebacker, the in the man on the line of the screaming for the defense was like a backer, I don't know, like a sandbacker. He drifted into the flats, kind of like man to man to take away that route. But actually the route was still open if you threw it because the tight end had him on his back. I'm like, you threw this in front of him or be on it to the, to the side line at least given my shot or you just overshoot it. He took a sack. And I'm like, these are the type of things you can't do, especially once you get deeper
into as you see playing, you start playing, you know, I can't remember if they played Georgia or not. But it's just, just a mental lapsus of stand down reads to me, the processing just looks slower than I was expected from. Last year I felt like it looked slow, but I was like, he's the first year of started. I'm like, I, you got to get used to the speed of the game. This is your second year. And to me, just, I'm going to tell you how far I put this key. He has not, I haven't felt his impact all season except for that final drive against Ohio state, where he was just like, because there was a moment on, again, that game was the camera pan to him. He said, I'm just about to stop giving a F, you know, giving the bleep, right? And he went out there and I think even going coming into this game, the game they crew said that Steve Sarkisian told him, Hey, start the game like we're down. I'm not going to allow to you Keith. I don't want to hear you tell my quarterback that like, Hey, you got to start mentally, you got to start the game like we're losing. D.P., this is why I follow Archman into him. I think that people need to look at him on like that his mental and his psyche is like
a dual thread quarterback. And what I mean by that, for sure, when you go back to that Ohio state game, yeah, he picked up in the fourth quarter, but he picked up when he started tucking the ball and running. And then he got confident, right? Like it's the same thing we say with some of these running quarterbacks, right? Like, hey, tuck the ball run, get the confidence point, get up first down, do the first down signal, right? Get your feeling going, get the blood. So something to feel good about something. Yeah, give yourself something to feel good about. I think it's the same thing with Archman and I think that and I don't know what Sarkis believing in that way. It's not about being down. I think that when he was down, he had nothing else to turn to is like, you know what, everything else is just out the window, right? I think that's where he was at was like, we ain't got nothing to lose. And I think if he plays like that point is, it's the take the pressure off and just play like you have nothing to lose, but that is the pressure of being a man. So we will see the DP less than this man. We don't bring up the plate, DP. That's a specific play that's tied to accuracy and decision making that we texted about that actually started this whole entire podcast and the purpose behind it.

Thank you for making a lock down NFL drafts. You first listen of the day and think for making a lock down podcast network, no more sports
podcast network in America is all because of you hour every day is archmaning as we finish off this conversation Keith. Does he lack do you have any questions or concerns with his accuracy, ball, placement and decision making as a pocket passer for the NFL draft? D.P. this is. Hmm, I'm going to answer your question and I'm going to the origin of where this came from. Okay, so like I said Sunday morning we were having a conversation via text message, right? And we bought up the one specific play against Tennessee where archmaning through the ball into double cup double coverage. I think was it the second part of it early on. Thank you. And there was a there was somebody playing under and somebody playing over top right and he threw a can of Coleman and double coverage right. And it's like, Hey, one accuracy to and probably most importantly for you. D.P. was probably decision making right and we fell on two totally different sides of this. I was kind of like, you know what? Give me a shot. Go for it right. And my thinking was this D.P. you know, when we have some of the greatest plays in NFL
history by while receivers, they usually against two defenders, right? Like we are there. We're not trying to rob the people of good football D.P. because Cam Coleman comes down with that. We have good we have like, oh man, this is a top five. To the highlight. Yeah, we got a sports in that highlight. And so that's what archman was trying to do. But honestly, I'll say this that realistically, I can understand why people felt this though. It was a bad decision. My thought on it was, Hey, we're trying to get this offense going. And this is my this is my thinking of what he was saying. Hey, we're trying to get this thing going. We're at Tennessee. The offense has been sputtering. That's Cam Coleman. That's probably going to be a top 15 pick. Let me give him a shot. Let's see what happens, right? And could he have probably put a little bit more on the football right? And I think it it failed just a little bit short and it fell a little bit to the left, right? If he put it towards the right and pushed it some more, maybe they underneath the defender wouldn't have been able to impact it at all. So I looked at it as like I wasn't mad at it because I was like, you know what? Give him a shot. Let's see. That's a top 15 pick overall. And you know, you got to got to, you know, see the lamb.
We see some of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. We give the guys a shot. The Bonte Adams. If you believe it first, right? For sure. Give him a shot. And I'm never gets a Corvette being aggressive either. You know what I mean? You know, my thing is always be calculated risk, take calculated risks. And like watching the play live, I was, yeah, I was, when I texted you, I was like, you know, just off of the game when I really watched the film and everything. I was like, I got more upset when I was the first to say. I want to say actual all to you too. I got more pissed off because I was just like, arch. All right. I got the post route. You got a short cross from his right side to my Rangling go and then you got a dig route by the tight end. There was like cover to invert. And so the corner that's on Cam Coleman, he's a side saddles out. He's like, nothing, he's playing like that deep safety, nothing over top. I'm in front of everything, nothing behind me. So he gets depth and I'm like, okay, Cam is running the post, but it's not like a skinny post where you kind of angle it like towards the middle of the end zone in a sense. You just like a post ride.
Have you taken it to the other other hash? And I looked at arch and I played that I really wanted it so many times it slowed it down. So I could just kind of piece it together. And I was I tweeted out and someone said, oh, well, he's looking at the safety who ends up bailing out. But he's like, going to take the dig. I'm like, that safety never took the dig. The safety was back pedaling flip the sips and we're right back because he read arch his eyes. I'm like, Arch, you got to confirm where he is before you let this ball go. But the biggest problem I had was the placement of it. He threw it. If you're going to be if you're going to throw, I have no problem throwing that ball even though process. Wingo was open for first down and the timing was open for first down. So you're out the two routes were both wide open. If you throw them the ball, but if you're going to throw it the camcorder, I'm cool being aggressive and trying to get that chunk play, but don't throw the the post up field. So he threw it and now Camcorder breaks his stride. Number one, he sees the safety coming. He's like, ball, no way he's coming to me. He looks bad. Oh crap, it's coming to me.
He turns upfield and runs and chases it gets into phase, but that corner is sitting there. He's like the outfielder and baseball and pretty baseball guys. I don't know all the positions, but might be the outfield out there. Keep the guy who jumps the wall and see those home runs and stuff. I don't feel the you're up until five. I like going. See, all I know is pitcher, pitcher, batter and short stop. That's all I got for you, man. We gotta get you going baseball, baby. That's all I got. I just feel right now. It's the playoffs. It is. I might have to tap in. I might have to tap in. That's all I got. I don't know. I might have to tap in to baseball. But yeah, so it's like that's what he was like. He's like the outfield just sitting there waiting on the pot fly. And I was just like, Arch, don't throw this. I don't throw that upfield. Keep him in stride. He breaks stride. Camcorder has to break stride and go chase the ball to make a play on it. And I'm like, Arch, you had two wide open underneath throws. And one of them, I think if he hit Wingo, there's no Wingo got speed. Wingo might be a four or three guys to be honest with you. Wingo on that short cross starts to pull away.
And if he just hit them and stride, Wingo's taking out the sideline. There's nobody else over there. It's just him and a trailer of the fence. That's a touchdown. So it's like make sure he catches it. Yeah, that's the, you know, but Arch, you got to just do your job. Just throw it. Because if you don't catch it, we all going to bring Wingo into the end of the day. You know, you're your hands off. Like, you know what, Arch? You made the right read. You did that. Wingo didn't catch the ball. See when he didn't catch the all inside kick, they put his back back in the game. When they kicked the all inside kick to him, but hey, no, I'm not piling on Wingo. No, do you think young man? But yeah, I think that was my thing. He was like, accuracy ball placing it for him. The further he gets down the field, it just gets more and more spotty. And even from clean pockets. Now he had a throw in that game where he's in a money pocket early. Yeah, yeah, nothing he had three throw. He had three throws. D.P. Yeah, he had a couple of, he had a couple of teach tape. I think it was the first half, all the way in the first half, where it was, I think one was like a corner, I believe. Yeah, when he dropped it right over the defender into the wire, see his hands.
I think I can remember the other two, but they, I mean, it was three beautiful girls that. Yes, there's some on the side like tape. And I mean, that's the first reading part, right? And that's why I lean into this young man is finding himself. And that's why I still believe he has franchise potential. I think he's still finding himself. I think everything he's doing at his moment is not playing free. I think it's being calculated and being overcalculated. And I think the, the minute that he gets in a situation where he says, you know what? Everything else is out the window. Let's just rock and roll, right? And we ever, as a, you know, as long as we've been doing this, D.P. that's analyzing NFL draft prospects, we see that like, hey, draft prospects come in many different shapes and sizes. But also the NFL becomes a totally different ballgame for some of these guys too. As far as which systems they land in with situations they land in and where they're able to go. So D.P., this archmaning conversation will be continued. We're going to come back. We're going to come back. This is part of one, guys. This is part one. We got the whole season. You know, when he gets on a heat of D.P. And throws for about goes through a four game stretchway throws for 15 touchdowns and zero interception.
