Mount calls Arch Manning to $7.3 billion NFL side despite Quinn Ewers’ earlier availability

Arch Manning vs Quinn Ewers. This has been a long-standing debate for Longhorns fans, and for good reason. Look, Manning is someone who had barely played football in the 2023 season. But when he was put on the grass against the Roadrunners when Ewers was out with his injury, this guy caught 4 passes on just 9 of 13 passing. Caroline Fenton spit the facts when she said: “Even without Quinn Ewers, Texas can still win a national championship.” Steve Sarkisian has 2 Wonderboys under his belt and he knows it. But for the fans? This creates a rather complicated situation.

See, a few weeks ago Mike Renner raised the possibility that Ewers could find himself in the NY Giants’ $7.3 billion dynasty. But CFB fans had another choice. Abz took to X to point out, “I don’t like the QBs in this draft, I’d rather trade for a one-year rental starter…Get Arch Manning in ’26 instead.” And they weren’t the only fans who had this idea. Many supported the Manning in Giants movement, and hardly anyone talked about Ewers. That sort of makes sense. Despite Ewers being the starting QB and carrying the Longhorns to 6 back-to-back runs, when the real challenge came, he was put on the turf against Kirby Smarthis performance was a disaster.

A completion rate of only 58%? While the guy averages 70% the rest of the year? If you thought that was bad, take in the Vandy game too. The Dores were coming off a win against Bama and the Wildcats, and people thought this unranked team’s next target would end up being the Longhorns. And it almost happened. Vandy pushed Sark and his boys to the edge and Ewers with his 2 interceptions didn’t help. Vandy would have won easily if the clock hadn’t run out.

After all this, it makes little sense to ask for Manning instead of Ewers. See QB Daniel Jones‘ The $160 million contract expires in 2026, and we don’t even know if Jones is turning the team over or not. This opens up the perfect opportunity to sign Manning. And this choice makes even more sense when you see that it was Eli Manning‘s former team.

But there is another scenario; What if both Ewers and Manning are drafted by the Giants? Right now, Manning is in desperate need of a starting QB position. That whole injury scene for Ewers was pretty much a blessing for Manning. While we don’t know what the future holds, what we can point out is that Longhorns and Giants fans only have one choice in mind.

Arch Manning for the Giants’ dynasty in 2026

“All these QBs stick draft best player sign bridge QB draft Arch Manning 2026,” was what a fan pointed out on X. The idea makes sense. 2025 will be the year we finally see Manning lead the Longhorns. Honestly, pretty sure fans can’t wait for that era of Texas football.

Another fan had a completely different take. “Don’t love any of the top qbs this year. Hard place. Better be bad next year too for a shot at Arch Manning,” those mentioned on X. This is a purely personal opinion and we understand. The current top picks for the drafts are Shedeur Sanders, Cam Ward, Carson Beckand Dillion Gabriel. Out of the 4, Ducks QB Gabriel is the only guy who has been consistent every single game. The rest has always been a hit or miss.

One fan noted, “I’d hate to have to think again next year, but… Arch Manning for NYG?” Overall, this would be a wild choice. From the limited games we’ve seen Arch in, it’s safe to say this guy has a lot of talent in him. One more year in the microwave and he would be the perfect QB for the Giants to use.

Share the same sentiment, one fan said, “If they wait for the 2026 To Draft bow crew, it will be love, what you think.” For now, all we can do is wait. The NFL drafts are right around the corner, and with Ewers leaving, Manning will finally get a chance to showcase his skills to the fullest.

But while that debate continues, why not tune in to learn all about the great future of the NFL?
