Texas Longhorns star quarterback Arch Manning was in the spotlight after his outstanding performance against UTSA, resulting in a high-margin win of 56-7. Following this, Copper Manning hyped his son in a unique and fun way by comparing Arch to his mother. But it turns out fans took it as a medium to troll his uncles Peyton and Eli Manning. But what made fans furious? Let’s get into it.

Today, Copper Manning, father of Texas Longhorns star quarterback Arch Manning, took to Instagram to share an appreciation post for his son, saying, “definitely got his speed from mom.” Copper Manning’s comparison of Arch Manning’s gameplay to his mom triggered them to take jabs at Arch’s legendary uncles and NFL stars Peyton and Eli Manning. A fan commented on the post, saying, “Yeah, definitely not from the uncles.” It looks like fans are not letting it go without comparing Arch Manning with his uncles.

However, the post was a sweet gesture from Copper’s side for Arch Manning following his remarkable performance in Saturday’s game. And Cooper Manning would have never thought this post would turn out to be a reason for his brother’s trolling. Even after showcasing remarkable gameplay throughout their football careers, Peyton and Eli are getting trolled over such things.

Eli Manning took the Giants to several Super Bowl victories in Super Bowl XLII, and even Peyton Manning helped his team, the Colts, to achieve eight division titles and one world championship title in Super Bowl XLI. It looks like fans don’t know much about their career graph as they brutally trolled them.

Fans taking shot at Arch Manning’s uncles Peyton and Eli

A fan straightaway took a dig at his uncle Peyton and Eli, saying, “Peyton and Eli don’t have that speed.” Well, Peyton Manning is considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, and so is Eli Manning. Making such comments on legends seems delusional. Another fan added, saying, “Pretty sure we all already knew that, Coop.” This fan again sarcastically compared Arch with Peyton and Eli. The fan must not have seen that many Super Bowls they have won.

Another fan had a similar notion towards Copper Manning’s post and caption, “Not from the uncles.” Stating facts in Saturday’s match-up against UTSA, Arch Manning made history by rushing for a 67-yard touchdown. Coming to Peyton Manning’s career stats, he holds a record of 4,000- yards passing in a single season. The same goes for Eli Manning, who has the 10th record in passing touchdowns. So, it looks like Arch Manning surely got his speed from his uncles, right? A fan tried comparing Arch Manning to Copper and Archie Manning. “He got it from you and your dad.” Well, on some levels, it is true, as Archie Manning is a talented quarterback. Cooper Manning also has a great knowledge of sports, as he helped Arch Manning select his college team. We get the humour in how fans are trolling Eli and Peyton, but if Archie achieves what the brothers did, he’ll surely be a Hall of Famer.
