Bishop and Cooper have to play too. We seem to be the only program that routinely shelves its best players if they're freshmen.

Hi KJ’s dad!

Disagree. Sark is still the play caller. He’ll have one or two good drives a game and look lost for the rest of it

Controlled environment practice reps are not equal to Saturday reps. You don't know what you have until live bullets are flying. We have a very good idea what we have in Arch. Sark knows this. Reps being 50/50 leads me to believe the decision has been made. Let's see what we have in KJ. Will still be the 1st career start for a QB in the SEC, but are there flashes of being able to sustain an efficient offense?

He just wants the offense to look better so #fireflood sticks around longer

If you look at all the clips going around Arch misses almost every read. It appears Sark has schemed plays for players to be open and work. Not sure if having an OC call different plays helps Arch. He would just miss read those too.. I guess we all opinions at this point... Regardless my bet the wheels are in motion already. I trust our leadership to work it out.

Been thinking about this for a while. I think Sark’s a great head coach and fits like a glove at UT. But he gets talked about like he’s one of the best QB developers in the country, and when you go stop by stop I’m not sure the results back it up. At USC he worked with Palmer, Leinart and Sanchez, but that was Carroll’s program and Norm Chow deserves a lot of the credit for the early years. At Alabama he had Tua and Mac Jones, both first-rounders. But Bama kept producing QBs after he left. Bryce Young went No. 1, Milroe got drafted, and Ty Simpson just went 13th overall. His head coaching stops are a different story. At Washington he had Jake Locker, who went in the first round mostly on physical ability and never turned into much of a passer. At Texas he’s had five-plus years, his own staff, his own recruits and total control of the offense. Ewers came in a five-star and left a seventh-round pick. Arch is still a work in progress. Five-star QBs disappoint everywhere, I get that. Rattler at Oklahoma, Uiagalelei at Clemson, Malachi Nelson at USC. Nobody hits on all of them. But if you’re supposed to be an elite QB developer, shouldn’t you be getting more out of those guys than the average coach does? Kirby’s an interesting comparison. Five stars: Eason, Fields, Daniels and Vandagriff all came through Georgia and transferred, and he still won two titles with Stetson Bennett. Nobody calls Kirby a QB guru, and he’s got an OC running the offense anyway. Sark calls the plays, so whatever happens at QB is on him. Sark can coach quarterbacks, I’m not arguing that. Being a good QB coach and being the QB whisperer he gets sold as are two different things though. At Texas he’s had the time, the money and the control to build exactly what he wants, and the QB play hasn’t lived up to the reputation. At what point do we start judging Sark’s QB development on what he’s done at Texas instead of what he did at USC and Alabama?

That’s how I feel I don’t care if it’s Arch, Kj, Dia, Mj Morris, or Gerry Hamilton playing qb as long as it results in wins

@Gerry Hamilton I say let’s roll with KJ and put Arch back in the 16 wheeler package like he was when Quinn was here. Arch be your short yardage package guy to be your power runner. What’s this teams ceiling with KJ in your opinion?

I'd rather change the play caller. Milwee has called plays before. It's almost certainly the biggest problem.

I don't know if he'll start against Ole Miss or replace Arch in the 1st half, but everything will suddenly improve dramatically once he's in. The o-line and running game will be instantly better. We will all realize the receivers have been open all year. The defense won't be on the field all 2nd half. Get ready

Woah man, this is wrong. CJ's great at his role.

Weeks or close to a month too late

Oh I agree I’m not defending arch at all he is straight up ASS!!

Arch has never had a 300+ yd day against a P4 team? Look I celebrated the day he committed. I wanted him in over Quinn sometimes. But, alas, it does not look like is who we wanted him to be.

Sark has no ability to adjust in-game. He's really bad at it. If he's smart he'll script KJ a bunch of plays to have that as an "adjustment" during the game. Maybe he can dual-script something to keep us from getting completely shut down.

To right the ship we need to tackle our problems head on and guard against our central mistakes 😉

The coaching staff will be determine after the season, just go win the damn games!

I mean true but it would be a lie to say Arch hasn’t been ass regardless if he gets good blocking or not

Not to start - for some reason, he (and this team) look good in practice . . . so we are told . . . and if that's the case, he'll get the start again. Sark better be ready with a play sheet for KJ tho. To do otherwise would be negligent.

Garrett Gilbert once threw for 344 yards in a game against a P5 opponent. Arch has yet to have a 300 yard game against a P4 opponent. I realize Arch has a much better overall record than GG, more wins against Top 25 and Top10 teams, but still, that's a surprising stat to me.

It’s all a smoke show. He won’t bench Arch

Gerry any word on other positions? I won’t name any specially but hopefully they’ll guard against one center of attention.

The root cause of the offensive struggles is the OL, not the QB. The offense does fine, both running and passing, when the OL isn't overmatched. Replacing the QB doesn't fix the running game. Unfortunately, there's probably no quick fix for the OL and putting Lacey in is just desperation.

Either start Lacey or go down with Arch. Throwing Lacey in only after Arch potentially stumbles and we get behind is a) unfair to Lacey and b) unfair to the team/fans.
