For what it’s worth, the best college quarterback that I have seen during my lifetime was a Manning. Not Arch, not Peyton, not Eli.
Archie.
His stats won’t impress you, but he played on a really bad team. Only those who saw him play in college would understand.
I saw Archie play at Tulane Stadium and the Superdome many of times. In the end I thought Bum Phillips did him wrong trading him away. Archie wasn’t pleased either.
When Archie played, Ole Miss was still all-white.
