I don't care that we didn't get one of them. I don't blame Peyton for going to UT or Eli for going to Ole Miss. What I can't stand is all the hype they get when there are other QBs out there that have done more. Archie, Peyton and Eli have never played for college championships. I doubt Eli will next year. A Manning has yet to win a playoff game. So, why are they hyped when there are more-deserving QB's out there? During the 2001 and 2002 LSU/Ole Miss games, Archie got more screen time than Nick Saban. I mean, how many times do I need to be shown a picture of a man sitting still with headphones on? Once is quite enough. I understood it a bit more in 2001 because Peyton was there, also.

I think there have been far-better QB's to play in recent years. In fact, the grumblings now are that Peyton may be making too many adjustments at the line and hurting the Colts somewhat.

Anyway, I'm getting off my soap-box now.

You would't wan't your son to play QB at LSU? LSU has 3 QB's in the NFL. How many does UT and OLE MISS have? So your arguement about the OL doesn't make sense.

There are only two...

Booty is a backup with the Browns. According to http://www.lsusports.net/ad/sportlink.cfm?pagecode=fb-02nfl they are the only two LSU QBs in the NFL.

Craig Nall was also a backup NFL QB early in the season.

What will staying in 2003 do for Eli Manning?

He'll take Ole Miss to the national championship game.

He'll get pounded by the other SEC teams and end up going in the 4th round of the draft.

He'll have a great year but won't win any championships. Then he'll go first in the draft.

Archie realizes that he and his boys are all over-hyped. He and Eli will never take Ole Miss to "th
