...total offense. So far this season, he has tossed eleven touchdown passes in six games. A roll-out passer who likes to look in one direction and throw in another, the 6-ft, 3½-in., 205-lb. Manning has the size to uncork the long bomb -or fake it and go powering down the sidelines. A freckle-faced country boy, he looks a bit like Huck Finn in hip pads-and talks like him too. When asked about Archie fever, he says, "The only thing I can figure out is that Archie is a different name. Maybe...
