Football coaches in Texas attribute Arch Manning's struggles to issues such as nerves and 'yips.'
In the realm of college football, the name Manning holds significant weight. Arch Manning, the latest in the renowned football dynasty, is currently grappling with challenges as the quarterback for the Texas Longhorns.
Opposing coaches have provided insights into Manning's play, observing that he seems to be playing 'nervous.' Some have posited that this could be a result of the pressure he faces, given the Manning family name and the expectations that come with playing for a prominent program like the Longhorns.
Manning's standout performance this season was against San Jose State, where he threw for 200 yards and four touchdowns. However, the sample size of his performance is small, and his struggles have been the subject of many headlines.
One SEC quarterbacks coach believes Manning is a young kid with a spotlight unfairly shone on him due to his last name. Another opposing coach noted that Manning seemed to rush throws and miss no-brainer completions, which could be a result of the pressures he is under.
According to On3 Sports, an opposing coach stated that Manning had progressions to make but was not making the throws, and there were moments where he rushed out of the pocket and rushed a throw. This has led some to suggest that Manning may be affected by what some call 'yips,' a term often used to describe a quarterback's mental block.
Steve Sarkisian, the Texas football head coach, believes Manning's struggles will be beneficial in the long run. He remains confident in Manning's abilities, stating that the expectations for Manning are unrealistic because of his developmental stage.
Despite the struggles, Manning has thrown for 579 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions this season. As the Longhorns prepare to take on Sam Houston, fans are eagerly anticipating Manning's performance. Many hope that he will prove the doubters wrong and continue to grow into the great player many believe he can become.
Paul Finebaum, a sports commentator, has compared Manning to LeBron James, a comparison that the SEC quarterbacks coach believes is unfair to the player. However, the coach remains optimistic, believing that Manning will be a really good quarterback and a great player.
As the season progresses, we will continue to watch Arch Manning's development with interest. Regardless of the challenges he faces, it is clear that he has the skillset, pedigree, and mentality to become a great player.
