FREE. SI College Football Newsletter While there wasn't a ton of highlight moments to take away from Manning's performance, seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady believes Manning can turn the disappointing showing into a positive. Brady acknowledged that this down game comes with the "curse" of "people piling on" his poor play, it can also come with the "blessing" of rebounding from the experience. "The blessing is there needs to be resilience built up in a quarterback as well," Brady told Cris Collinsworth during a Pro Football Focus interview. "Even though he didn't have his best game and they lost, if he uses this to his advantage, he's gonna be tougher for it.

And he's gonna have a better next game because of it. I always felt like you've gotta deal with a lot of adversity from a quarterback standpoint to toughen you up to be the true leader for the organization." 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.

New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady certainly thinks so. Brady went on a diatribe about how Manning could end up using the loss. Manning went 17/30 passing with a touchdown and an interception in the Longhorns' 14-7 loss to the Buckeyes in Week 1. "The blessing is there needs to be resilience built up in a quarterback as well," Brady told Cris Collinsworth during a Pro Football Focus interview, per Sports Illustrated. "Even though he didn't have his best game and they lost, if he uses this to his advantage, he's gonna be tougher for it. And he's gonna have a better next game because of it.

I always felt like you've gotta deal with a lot of adversity from a quarterback standpoint to toughen you up to be the true leader for the organization. "There's a long season to play out. Arch has years beyond this to still play in college if he wants, but it's gonna be up to him to see how deep he wants to dig within himself in order to be... There's nothing to show that he won't be that. He's been that way in high school, even last year. He's got a lot of good people around him that know exactly what to do."

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.” 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. 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. NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
