Babying a "Year 4" QB

What gifts does he have? We have had strong arm quarterbacks before. We have had quarterbacks that can run. Arch is not accurate, he can’t see the field or handle a blitz. Quite certain the NFL is seeing that. 

He has a strong arm and is a good runner. Those are gifts, he is not gifted right now in being able to process and really deeply know the game or offense the way he should.

A lot of quarterbacks have strong arms and can run. They just don’t do it very well. He’s been here four years and doesn’t know the offense? The coach/oc has not changed. How many more years does he need?

I doubt he has much arm strength for deep ahit hunting Sark loves. Offense would probably look more like when Ewers played, but you'd hope for more athleticism on the pocket than that.

Remember, all we heard in the spring was KJ moves the ball…. Kinda makes me think he would be a good option to try 🤷🏻

What other levers does sark have on offense besides benching arch at this point? It’s his last play before folding the cards. He is stuck between a rock and a hard place. He bet his tenure on Arch and it went sideways for whatever reason.

I’m not sure you read my whole comment initially. I said you have to bench him and that he may not be the QB for Texas.

Doesn’t matter who is at QB if your center keeps letting an untouched rusher straight into the backfield 

This right here. Blocking matters 

hitting wide open receivers matters too but how many sacks are we giving up and even worse how many are happening when we really can’t afford them

To your point, I thought Russell at Bama was elite . Tenn. D yesterday made him look like , well, like Arch has looked in some games. I think one reason we lost yesterday is  going for it end of first half at mid field with two TD lead giving them short field to go down and score. We can not pick up fourth and one . I think Arch needs to transfer and play another year. Go to Indiana or Kentucky or LSU and see what they can do with him. Really like the kid but not working out here. By the way, we are not only ranked team to lose yesterday. Never seen anything like yesterday. Can we say parity?

To back your point , see Keelon Russell yesterday against Tenn. Tenn., D made him look bad.

Go one more game if it’s a loss, and arch doesn’t play well he changes. If he goes another game past that, then coffee and football talk will be even better

Might not have to fake anything with Will Echoles coming up. I’m not wishing arch injury, but this is about to be a serious problem.

When it comes to success, your playcaller and QB coach should put your QB in the best position to succeed. But with if your QB is deficient mentally during games? Why are we trying so hard to make something work that obviously doesn't fit?

Right now Arch and Sark are a square peg in a round hole. It's hurting Sark, Arch, and the team. Something has to give but I'd prefer seeing how much Lacey can handle Sark's offense over some Tebow like ugly offense that would likely result in Arch getting hurt anyways. If Lacey is accurate and makes quicker decision, we can run at least 75% of Sark's offense. Right now I think Arch only fits about 25-30% of it. 

Though I don't disagree with Sark receiving a lot of the play calling blame, I think there's a limit to "dumbing down" the offense that crosses the line of "you don't have a quality QB" and I feel like we are there with Arch Manning. If he doesn't even use his hot routes or dump offs, how much of the playbook do we really want the playbook to be reduced just to make a said player the QB? 

Sark makes the big bucks. He needs to start making tough decisions that warrant that salary and stop looking like his hands are tied. 

Arch is in a lot of TV commercials, and he hasn't done anything. When success comes before results, the kids get spoiled.  Arch is half a season from being a total bust.

Arch gotta go Portal… at this point!

Bench Arch …. Start Lacy …  thats it…..
Florida changed qb midseason…went for it 4 th n 12.  Saved  their season !

Lacy / Dia gets this team rolling even w 1-2 losses till traction….recruits see it … players see it … they believe.  

Arch is Gone to portal!  Texas must play Lacy- Dia   Competition.  
 

hell let their be a allout competition btwn them

Arch must sit … he is 3 rd string til one gets hurt!
