Sark as play caller

[No13Seed Jim]

I am wondering if Sark is really the play calling savant he's supposed to be. Seems to me he isn't optimizing Arch's ability as much as forcing the style Sark wants. Perhaps he needs to adapt more to Arch's strength. Arch also doesn't seem quite as talented as we hoped. He's very good but not superb in the passing game. Arch can lead this team to 12-0 if Sark plays a bit more to his best playing style - moving and throwing.

Arch is not a Sark type of QB. He needs a pocket passer who is accurate and can make quick reads. That's why Quinn, when healthy, was so good. I agree that he needs to let Arch be himself. I believe we saw that last year when he had no choice than to let Arch loose due to the bad OL.

Sark schemes things very well, Sark can’t got make the throw or catch for them

A wild talking point 8 days after defeating OSU to become the #1 team in the country. What a luxury.

Pains me to say it, but Arch is their biggest problem right now. Jekyll & Hyde thing going on. At times, he looks as good as any quarterback in the country. But far too often, he literally looks like he just woke up and found himself in his own body a full second after the ball is snapped and he's behind the play trying to figure out where he's at in his progressions.

It's so frustrating. I am perplexed. I'd love to hear how his uncles diagnose his struggles.

Sark's not perfect, but he didn't get his reputation by accident. He's completely turned the program around. It's one thing to question some play calls - I've yelled at the TV - but it's another thing to question him as a play caller entirely.

Sark is not our issue right now. He’s had a few questionable play calls but our issue is execution.

Since start of 2023 season after he had time to establish his team, he has won 83% of games. 38-8. We had good Defenses I realize but we are doing something right. I too am worried going forward with the way we are executing the passing game. Got to get better fast or we will lose several games with this schedule.

I think Arch is having some flashbacks to last season when he had very little time to work through progressions. He is not working through progressions well right now and still showing poor accuracy too often. I think Arch is a good QB and can do some things with his legs many can't but he is far too inconsistent for me to consider him a top 10 QB nationally right now.

feels like this board has already experienced the loss to Tennessee 😆

We have a QB that cant see the field and is extremely inaccurate. If your QB is throwing high on every pass, you're going to have problems. His inaccuracy is also going to somewhat dictate that play calls,Sark probably cant call certain plays knowing when Arch airmails the ball its going to be an easy interception for the safety.
