Re: SEC Quarterbacks: Arch Manning, Gunner Stockton lead into deep list
At this point we can All speculate and share our opinions. And that’s all part of the fun and mystic about preseason CFB. And even with all the data available to them the experts are sometimes right and sometimes wrong. I’m just an old fan and I’ve been right sometimes and I’ve been wrong sometimes.
I’m predicting that as long as he’s close to 100% healthy AND the same for the majority of our best WRs ( we could debate Who they are to 😀) Gunner Stockton will emerge as the top SEC QB by end of regular season. No I don’t have any hardcore data and stats to back that with. Just a feeling I’ve got about this young man.
There WILL be times he’ll make mistakes, Some might be pretty bad. But say he throws an INT, I’m banking that on the next couple of series of plays he’ll throw a TD to redeem himself. Some say they see Stetson Bennett in him, I’ll buy that to a degree, but I also see some Arron Murray in him !! And the strange thing by me saying that is Murray isn’t particularly enamored of Stockton.
I believe Gunner has the coveted “IT” factor that coaches and fans rave about. He might not be the image of the prototypical QB but he just has that “something” about him that makes me Believe. I like how he’s humble off field but very confident ( not arrogant) on field. Gunner Believes he can and that’s half the battle right there. But he’s not a show off with a huge ego. He knows what he can do and he knows what his weaknesses are.
I have Nothing personal against Arch Manning and he just might live up to all the hype. I don’t think people would be shocked or caught off guard by that, in fact he has the burden of expectation. But having the last name Manning is no guarantee of success. In fact it Might be an anchor to drag. Arch probably has the Most pressure to succeed Because he’s a Manning, EVEN if his family doesn’t put it on him, he probably puts it on himself.
Gunner has allot of pressure to. He’s got to live up to a demanding fan base and prove he’s the right man for the job. But I think Gunner has a tad less pressure because of the legacy stuff Arch has to deal with. I’m Believing at this point without any proof that we have a Much better receiving corps that includes TEs than last year and that’s gonna help Gunner thrive. We’ll see. Go Dawgs !!
