My boy Quinn!

Is Quinn really that much taller than Sarkisian who's listed 6′ 2″?

The “star arch” segment of this board should be a lot more thankful for quinn after how pedestrian arch looked the first half of last season.

CJ made available some good data the other day regarding pressure rates.  Within that data there a number of variables.

Give or take some adjustments, we were pressured at the following rates:

2023 - 23.1%
2024 - 27.1%
2025 - 35.6%
 

Now some individual QB passing grades.  I’m going highest and lowest by year.

2023 - Ewers was 90.6 versus Bama with a 15% pressure rates.   Lowest was Wyoming at 50.2 with a 8.7% pressure rate.

2024 -  Ewers was 87.9 versus UGa in the championship with a 32.7% pressure rate.  Lowest was 54.5 versus OU with a 28.1% pressure rate.  Arch actually had the highest grade with 91.7 versus MSU with a 17.1% pressure rate.

2025 - Arch was 93.9 versus SHSU with a 26.1% pressure rate.  2nd Lowest was 50.1 versus UF with a 61.9% pressure rate.  Lowest was UTEP at 43.9 at 22.2% pressure rate.

Now Arch in 2025.  He had 5 games with pressure rates in the 20% (or less) range.  They resulted in his 3 highest passing grades, Michigan and UTEP.  He had 6 games with a pressure rate of 40% or above.  4 of his 6 worst passing grades were found here.  The anomaly was that UTEP game.  OU was the outlier on the good side, but that was because his average depth of target was 50% lower than any other game resulting his 4th best passing grade at a 46.7% pressure rate.

2024 Ewers was a bit more all over the board.  He had 9 games with pressure rates in 20% range or better.  Three in the 30s and one in the 40s.  There were 3 sub-20% with passing grades ranked 2nd, 5th and 7th.  The 40% game was 10th highest grade.  The 30s were 1st, 3rd, 6th and last.

2023 Ewers had 9 games in 20s or lower and 3 in 30% range.  Four games were sub 20% and resulted in 1st, 7th, 11th and 12th graded passing games.  The 3 in the 30s were 2nd, 3rd and 10th.

Of note in the 4 starts Ewers missed in 2023 and 2024, three were sub 20% pressure rates and the other in the 20s.

If you were to simply take 2023 and 2025, of the 10 highest pressure rates, the 6 worst games were from 2025 and 8 of the 10 worst.  It’s a bit more balanced for 2024 and 2025, but 6 of the 7 worst were from 2025.  Only 6 of the top 10 were from 2025.  Now of the top 10 lowest pressure rates, there were 8 of 10 from 2024.  Over the 3 years, six of the 7 worst pressure rates were from 2025 with the other being national champion OSU.

 

Arch seems to be well correlated to pressure rates.  For me, there are logical reasons for the two outliers.  Ewers on the other hand seems more volatile.  With Arch you could argue he’d do just with good to better than good pass protection.

I think Sark is more like 6'0". 

The one time I stood next to Ewers he was wearing boots and looked about 6'4".
