Arch Manning’s Career Receives More Bad News After Aaron Rodgers’ Brother Confirms Stance on Texas QB

It took no time for the Arch Madness to quickly come to a screeching halt. Born to a football legacy, Manning’s genius buckled to make an explosive season against the Buckeyes. And it took less than a full-throttle blitz for his career to hit head high. Heading into the Top 3 Heisman prospects for the 2025 season, Manning’s Week 1 performance hit rock bottom, as the Manning legacy was snubbed in On3’s Week 2 College Football Heisman Poll.

Manning’s reaction? “Not good enough,” he admitted. “That starts with me. I’ve got to play better for us to win. The Manning hype train had pretty much everybody on board, with Paul Finebaum brimming with confidence.“This [Arch] is the best player we have seen from every aspect since Tim Tebow,” said a confident Finebaum. But the 7-14 loss quickly saw a change of tide. He missed badly on simple throws, threw interceptions, and appeared confused throughout.

ESPN’s Jordan Rodgers gives his opinion on why his hype didn’t match his tapes. It was about the mechanical issues facing Ryan Day’s robust defense for the first time. “It wasn’t the pressure. It wasn’t the blitzes. He only blitzed on four of 34 dropbacks for Arch,” he said. Rodgers continued. “Everything was just moving a little too fast for Arch. And that’s why you saw those inaccuracies. Five under throws, three over throws, a lot of opportunities to hit big plays downfield, he said.”
