I was reading up on other teams from around CFB and came across this item. This guy nailed it back in August.
The season isn't over, but I have to pencil Manning in as 2025 bust of the year. There was so much hype generated in the pre-season around an unknown commodity. And then it all flames out.
Manning hasn't completely failed and has developed into a somewhat competent QB, and he did not generate the hype and wasn't talking smack like Underwood proclaiming himself the best freshman the sport has ever seen. But Manning hasn't come close to meeting any of the expectations hoisted upon him. Neither has Underwood. But the hype around Manning was through the roof, so he is my bust of the year.
