No, but doesn't mean a team with a young unproven QB wouldn't take him to start or compete to start for a year.Right because hes certainly a future HOF'er like Rodgers and Stafford.

Because he has a shot to start there. It's not like they have a HOF QB starting ahead of him.Why would he want that? Backup there versus backup here? He's a backup for a SB contending team with a starter that's approaching 40.
Not to mention the city, weather, etc.
I think he will and like you said if those 2 don't declare he is likely QB2 but that may be mid day 2 pick.I wonder if Mateer declares. He’d be the 2nd best qb prospect (if Simpson and Moore stay in school) and might find himself buried in next year’s draft field.
You think he wants to play with that Guy ? Let’s finish this season first. There was a point Thursday Jimmy might be coming in.There was a guy that said next to me.Whose that good looking guy.Because he has a shot to start there. It's not like they have a HOF QB starting ahead of him.
Not saying it definitely happens, just saying he might find better options and more $$ to go elsewhere. He doesn't have many contracts left in him.
Miami is another spot where he could walk in and start. In fact that one makes more sense. He definitely could start and play for his former OC.
Not sold on him. He must have had like 3 or 4 passes knocked down or deflected at the LOS yesterday. Wouldn't be opposed if taken later, but not rd 1.I wonder if Mateer declares. He’d be the 2nd best qb prospect (if Simpson and Moore stay in school) and might find himself buried in next year’s draft field.
Saw this and this guy not only is a Titans writer/reporter but a great draft source for everybody especially come UDFA signing time. Thought this was interesting.

Not really.It's kind of crazy how nobody is talking about the shit game Reed had. If it was Arch the talk would be non stop shitting on him.
BTW what most of us knew from the start.

Texas QB Manning to return for 2026 season
Texas quarterback Arch Manning will return to school to play in 2026, finally putting to rest questions about his future beyond this season.www.espn.com
Reed on most every 2026 early Heisman list is on there, he on more than Arch.Not really.
Reed lacks the hype, expectation, and name of Manning.
Mateer is probably a day 3 selection no matter which year he's in the draft.I wonder if Mateer declares. He’d be the 2nd best qb prospect (if Simpson and Moore stay in school) and might find himself buried in next year’s draft field.
My guess is FAR more people know about Manning than care about an early Heisman list or even the award itself.Reed on most every 2026 early Heisman list is on there, he on more than Arch.
I'm just relaying what I've read and the odds I've seen. The most common 5 are Saiyan, Reed, Stockton, Smith and Arch. You can see one of the last 3 rotated in or out for another name but those are the top 5 mostly listed with Saiyan, Reed and Smith usually the top 3 listed.My guess is FAR more people know about Manning than care about an early Heisman list or even the award itself.
I think Jimmy's starter days may be over. It's possible he gets a starter gig as a bridge QB, which would be great to see him net us a comp pick of some kind. But that offense played to his strengths underneath, and gave him a dominant run game, and most places he's gonna get exposed as the QB1.Jimmy might get tired of waiting and might get an opportunity to play somewhere since there will be little impact from the draft this year at that position.
