33 -24 at halftime. Horns. Coach Vic is not happy. They are about to get Augied in the locker room. We got cold and are taking this team for granted. We better come out on fire in the second half.

Lotta revisionist history in this thread. Arch was either woefully unprepared to take over the starting spot at QB after two seasons on campus or he had a serious mental block going on when attempting to complete straight forward passes to wide open receivers during the first half of the season. Yes, the OL was awful and the running game was non existent but Arch’s inability to confidently quarterback the offense was apparent to anyone watching those games. We know because of the second half of the season that it wasn’t just an inability to play the position. He grew into the role mentally and physically. It was basically like watching a true freshman QB evolving as a season goes on instead of a third year sophomore. To the point of the OPs question, if history is any indication go back to the 2010 offseason where Mack attempted to model his spread offense into more of the power running ball control offense that Muschamp wanted to complement his D with. We all know how that went, by halftime of the Rice opener. (A fascinating game to rewatch btw.) Sark seems perfectly capable of building via the portal and running an offense that will provide complimentary football to Muschamps side of the ball so I’d imagine things go better this time around.

This will be his fourth college.

End of 1st quarter 17-13 Horns.

Let's go Quinn!

We can agree to disagree. Based on the definition by our mutual friend, I'd argue what we saw is a textbook case.

(Next week the dolphins play the bucs)

He could not have gone to a better system for his play-style. For one the operation has so far been absolutely stellar. He's also made some really nice throws in rhythm. I still think how he manages pressure and how he navigates the pocket is ultimately gonna make or break his career in the NFL though. Rooting for him regardless.

Really solid start for Quinn. I’m liking it a lot so far

...Justice Carlton is not available today. Not sure what the deal is there.

he’s looking really good

Impressive stats and recruiting pedigree.

5*

Some pretty good throws so far

It doesn’t matter. Being a NFL head coach is one of the most lucrative positions in the entire sport. There are only 32 of them and they are all premium jobs that are an upgrade over any college job.

It was a textbook toss on the handoff from Quinn. Textbook.

Any coach taking the Giants, Jets, Browns or Bengals jobs are definitely desperate and pretty much destined to fail.

No matter how you perceive college football coaching in the NFL is a promotion and better job. Will he be successful, I don’t know. But being a NFL coach is considered a massive promotion.

Having Devon Achane as your RB definitely helps.. 48 Yard TD run by Achane and the dolphins tie it up vs Cincinnati 7-7

Nice throw to Jaylen Waddle for a first down

LFG QUINN!!!!!!!!!!!

Then he had them against A&M. Because again, 3 of his top 10 worst throws all year were in that game. Maybe 3 of the 5 worst. Steve Sax, Chuck Knoblauch, Rick Ankiel. Those were the most known in baseball. Basically ended their careers as they were. “The "yips" are a sudden, involuntary loss of fine motor skills in sports, causing an athlete to mess up routine actions, often due to extreme performance anxiety or neurological issues, manifesting as twitches or loss of concentration, common in golf (putting) and baseball (throwing) but seen in many sports. It's a psychological and physiological phenomenon where the brain-muscle connection gets disrupted, leading to poor performance under pressure, sometimes linked to overuse or stress.” Per our friend AI. When Arch underthrows his first throw of the season, with pressure in his face no less, then hits his second on the money. I’d never say the first was a yip. The misses on the short crossers to Wingo at Ohio State were part poor throw based on finding the passing lane, part pressure. The first one he threw a nice ball to Parker on the very next play. One underthrown ball to Wingo versus SJSU when his adjusted completion percentage is near 80% is not really a yip. Golf is a completely different game. What we saw from Arch was called quarterbacking. But, yeah, I suppose we have different definitions and the connotation of the term is more extreme than he made some poor throws.

First drive of Quinn’s career 1/1 passing for 22 yards. Threw a nice block on an end around but the dolphins end up punting.

Risky throw for a first down . Gain of 22.
