Arch Manning didn't play on Sunday - the 2025 college football season is a couple of weeks away - but fans are concerned about him.
Quinn Ewers did play on Sunday. The former Texas Longhorns quarterback, who beat out Arch Manning for the QB1 job in back-to-back seasons, got some playing time in the Miami Dolphins vs. Chicago Bears game. It did not go very well.
The former Texas Longhorns quarterback completed 5 of 18 passes for 91 yards. He got sacked twice and fumbled twice. Reviews from his performance are not very flattering.
Meanwhile, on social media, fans are worried about what this could mean for Arch Manning's 2025 season under center in Texas.
Following Quinn Ewers' rough performance, fans took to social media, wondering about what this could mean for Arch Manning's 2025 season.
If Ewers looked this bad, how good could Arch Manning actually be? That's the main argument.
"Just a reminder that Arch Manning couldn’t beat out this guy Quinn Ewers in 2 full seasons," one fan wrote.
"Arch Manning? The guy who couldn’t beat out Quinn Ewers?" one fan added.
"Arch couldn’t unseat him tho 😤," another fan wrote in response to Ewers' final stats from Sunday's game.
"What we learned today is we have our tank commander for Arch Manning in 2026. Once we clean house and cut the tickle, we already have our guy on the roster to lead us into the future," another Dolphins fan joked.

Ewers did lead Texas to the College Football Playoff semifinals last year, so it's not like he was a bad college quarterback. And Arch Manning was a true freshman and then redshirt freshman. It's possible - likely, even - that he's much better now than he was heading into the 2024 and 2023 seasons.
Still, it's interesting that some fans are having this reaction to Quinn Ewers' performance on Sunday.
