With the Texas offense and Arch Manning looking to rebound<\/a> Saturday at Mississippi State following a slow start to SEC play, Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady said this week the media scrutiny facing the Longhorns quarterback is a sign of the times.<\/p>\n

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 wins in seven starts.<\/p>\n

“Before, [players] had the kind of ability to fail when people weren’t watching, to build that resiliency within themselves,” Brady told Sports Illustrated<\/a>. 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.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“Peyton had a lot of years to develop,” Brady said. “Eli had a lot of years to develop and, you know, I was a college kid once, too, and I wasn’t the best quarterback at that time. And how people remember me after my pro career was a lot different than I remember me after my college career, which is a lot different than me how they remember me after my high school year.\u00a0 So give people a chance to learn and grow and develop and put them in the right situation.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this season after an opening-weekend loss at Ohio State, Brady said Manning would need to “learn from adversity”<\/a> and not listen to detractors.<\/p>\n

Manning started the 2025 season as the Heisman frontrunner before those odds tanked after his first couple of starts with varied levels of success.<\/p>\n

After scoring 16 points in last week’s overtime win at Kentucky despite offensive issues, Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian gave a simple message to his quarterback.<\/p>\n

“For a quarterback, when you get those opportunities when you have layups, I don’t think you need to overthink it,” he said. “You just need to take the layup.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the Texas offense and Arch Manning looking to rebound Saturday at Mississippi State following a slow start…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21079,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[261,27,29,28],"class_list":{"0":"post-21078","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-texas","8":"tag-college-football","9":"tag-texas","10":"tag-texas-headlines","11":"tag-texas-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21078"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21078\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21079"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
