Tom Brady Discusses Arch Manning S Struggles In Texas Loss To Ohio

The Texas Longhorns entered the season as the No. 1 team in the preseason poll. Arch Manning earned the job as the team's starting quarterback, and his name was instantly thrown around in Heisman Trophy conversations. However, Week 1 against No. 3 Ohio State did not go according to plan for Texas as the Buckeyes won, 14-7, in Columbus. Manning had a subpar showing, going 17-of-30 for 170 yards with one touchdown and an interception, as well as 10 carries for 38 yards in the loss.

Still, it wasn't the performance many expected from Manning, even against the defending national champions. While many questioned Manning's play, NFL legend Tom Brady still expressed belief in the Texas signal-caller, via Henry McKenna of Fox Sports. NFL legend Tom Brady tried to find some silver linings in Arch Manning's forgettable performance as Texas lost 14-7 to Ohio State to open the 2025 season. Speaking with Pro Football Focus' Cris Collinsworth, Brady said the rise of social media has led fans and the media to draw even quicker judgments — both positive and negative — on players, which... "The curse is, a lot of people pile on," he said. "The blessing is, there needs to be resilience built up in a quarterback as well.

Even though he didn't have his best came today and they lost, if he uses this to his advantage — Arch — he's gonna be tougher for it. And he's gonna have a better next game because of it." It was always going to be one extreme or the other with Manning in the aftermath of Week 1. Either he'd play well and become a favorite for the Heisman Trophy and the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL draft in the process, or he'd perform badly and have a lot of people basically say he's an overrated talent who's coasting on his family name. Unfortunately for the Longhorns, it was the latter.

Manning finished 17-of-30 for 170 yards, one touchdown and one interception. There were some brief flashes of brilliance, but he otherwise looked shaky in his debut as Texas' full-time starter. With the Texas offense and Arch Manning looking to rebound Saturday at Mississippi State following a slow start to SEC play, Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady said this week the media... Every pass and decision this season from the former five-star has been placed under the microscope for all to see, discounting much of his 1,449 yards through the air and 12 touchdowns across five... "Before, [players] had the kind of ability to fail when people weren't watching, to build that resiliency within themselves," Brady told Sports Illustrated. So I think it's a real challenge these days for these young kids because Arch Manning, you know, seems like a great kid and great player."

At Michigan, Brady went 20-5 overall after moving into the starting quarterback role as a junior and senior. When he was playing, however, you could make a mistake and not here about it throughout the following week leading into your next game. Even Arch Manning's famous uncles who won multiple Super Bowls in the NFL didn't fact the criticism he has received this early in his career. Nick Wright joins Colin Cowherd to discuss the Micah Parsons trade, Bill Belichick’s disappointing debut, and whether or not it’s time to panic over Arch Manning’s poor performance against Ohio State. Like many others across the country, Tom Brady was tuned in to Saturday afternoon’s matchup between No. 1 Ohio State and No.

3 Texas. The contest marked the official start of the Arch Manning era, but it did not get off to an ideal start. Entering the fourth quarter, the grandson of Archie and nephew of Peyton and Eli, had just 38 passing yards. He finished with 167 in the Longhorns' 14-7 loss to the Buckeyes. It was Manning's first start on the road as a Longhorn. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM

Tom Brady has a strong message for Arch Manning on what he needs to do if he’s going to bounce back after his disappointing Saturday game against Ohio State. In an interview with Cris Collinsworth of Pro Football Focus, Brady spoke out about Texas losing 7 to 14 against Ohio State. The game was close up to the end, but many fans were quick to turn on Manning anyway, even calling for his backup quarterback to step in. Brady and Collinsworth began talking about Manning’s performance at about 39 minutes into the interview. Overall, Brady was positive about Manning’s future. There’s a long season ahead, he said, and he hasn’t seen anything to indicate that Manning doesn’t have what it takes to persevere.

Collinsworth started out by comparing Manning to Brady. He was the next Tom Brady, the way he was getting built up here before the season started,” Collinsworth said. “But he also missed some really easy throws… Ones that made a difference in the game.” Tom Brady didn’t seem too worried about Texas quarterback Arch Manning following the latter’s 2025 debut. Manning was held to under 200 yards and had one touchdown and a pick in the 14-7 loss to Ohio State. At times, he looked flustered and the ball came out of his hand awkwardly.

Still, he’s played before and some chalked it up to first game jitters. Others said the hype wasn’t warranted and Manning could be a borderline bust. Brady went back to how quarterbacks deal with adversity and take advantage of the games where they don’t play well. He can see that for Manning. “The blessing is, I don’t believe a quarterback, there needs to be resilience built up in the quarterback as well,” Brady said to Pro Football Focus. “So even though he didn’t have his best game today, and they lost, if he uses this to his advantage, Arch, he’s going to be tougher for it.

He’s going to have a better next game because of it. And I always felt like you’ve got to deal with a lot of adversity, from a quarterback standpoint, to toughen you up to be the true leader for the organization.” Others like Ryan Clark claimed Manning is not a “generational talent,” perhaps signaling Manning can’t come back from adversity. However, Clark said Manning can still be very good and that’s where he echoed Brady’s comments. Tom Brady knows a thing or two about overcoming adversity, and he's defending Texas redshirt sophomore quarterback Arch Manning in the wake of the Longhorns' Week 1 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes. On Saturday, No.

3 Ohio State defeated No. 1 Texas 14-7 in Columbus. It was one of the most highly anticipated non-conference games in recent years, with Manning receiving much of the attention. The 21-year-old QB wasn't great in Week 1, although he still has plenty of time to put forth a solid 2025 campaign, Brady says. Speaking with NFL analyst Cris Collinsworth on the "Pro Football Focus" podcast, Brady said that if Manning uses his subpar performance and Texas' loss "to his advantage, he's going to be tougher for it. He's going to have a better next game because of it."

Brady won a record seven Super Bowl titles during his legendary NFL career. However, in college, he had to grind it out to eventually earn the starting quarterback job at Michigan as a junior.
