Why are we assume Arch Manning will leave school early instead of staying his senior season when most of the top QBS are 22-23 in their draft seasons now thanks to the NIL money?

Full stop on any suggestion Schoen would even think of punting 2025 for a QB that share's Eli's last name. It's insanity.

He'd punt on a season for a prospect the likes of him. Regardless of name.  He'd kinda did it for Caleb Williams, that's why Devito was starting as many games as he did.  It wasn't but for the grace of God that Devito somehow managed to win 3 games and screw up the plans.

DeVito started because Jones and Taylor got injured.
Caleb was already the top prospect and was going to be in the next draft.
You cannot compare that to a kid who doesn't even start yet, who we wouldn't even be talking about if he wasn't a Manning. Come on man.

FWIW I agree with everything you have written here.
