Really interesting. I still think it's an area where he's gotta mature mechanically in the off season, but I do think you're right in saying that confidence is a big factor in this.

After the last few weeks there's zero doubts in my mind that we're seeing Arch play his best football and we're seeing him progress more and more every week. He's tough as nails, he has zero fear of standing in a dirty pocket and taking a hit, he can evade rushers, he can get out of the pocket and he's finally being accurate with the football. PFF gave him a 82 adjusted completion percentage. He threw the ball more than 40 times. That's elite level of accuracy. What's even more encouraging is that it seems to me that he's gotten over the mental hurdle of playing in a big setting or being afraid to make mistakes. He's also processing a lot quicker and you can tell he's a really smart football player. The last 4 games the 2 ints that he threw were one on a bobbled football by Livingstone and the other on a inaccurate ball to Moore (which probably should've been PI), none of these being due to stupid decisions by him. Having said this the film guy brought up an intersting point about his development: Arch really struggles to layer the football. He said that he makes about 12 throws every saturday that are just elite NFL throws where he has either a really tight window to throw into, or he's standing in a dirty pocket with pressure in his face, or he's throwing on the run. But he's errant when throwing to Mosley, for example, running a deep over. He says that if Arch isn't putting everything he can into the throw he doesn't know where the football is going. He the concluded that he's still a guy that he would draft to then try to develop that part of his game. I find myself agreeing with him cause I think that's a big part of the offense that is missing. We struggle to have explosives because Arch isn't accurate on deep overs or routes that are "running away from him", where he just has to put a little air under the ball and let receivers create in space. The only other way we can create explosives in the passing game is with the screen game or deep post routes/lower percentage throws. What do you guys think about it? Do you think it can be fixed this offseason? Do you think it's something that's gonna take longer and is deep rooted into his mechanics?

To me it looked like Sark did try to make changes this off season Unfortunately they all backfired. I don't think it's talked about enough how if Arch continues to ascend and Sark's "lets Arch down" it could be a heavy blow to his resume. He could become the coach that had a Manning who's playing to his potential and screwed it up, even with a every resource he could want. This could get real ugly for Sark really quickly.

Team looked checked out for most of the game, especially after the onside kick. Even the few big plays weren't really celebrated. How does this team look when they have a very slim chance of even making the playoffs? I think most people aren't gonna like the answer. Biggest two weeks in Sark's coaching career imo. This could get ugly quickly. Shame to see this right when Arch seems to have gotten over the mental hurdle, though he played at a high level saturday, just not enough help around him.

Are they really trying to spin this into an Heisman moment? what a joke that trophy has become

What the hell is he thinking

SC is so bad. Beamer is so stupid. There’s a reason they are 1-6 in conference play.

They might still win this. SC sucks and they got a dumbass at HC

PRESSURE = MENTAL BREAKDOWN. Heisman my ass.

Let’s enjoy these next 5 hours at least

Gerry how bad will Reed break down when facing Texas pass rush? He looks shell shocked

Shane beamer that was probably the dumbest decision I’ve ever seen

Sellers is trash

That cop needs to get fired what the hell does he think he’s doing trying to stir up a fight with the players?

WHAT THE F IS SHANE BEAMER DOING

No way

That was complete bogus to begin with.

MARCEL “CHANTS” REED EVERYBODY

LMAOOOOOOO

Russel westbrick?! The man’s name is Westbrook! Iconic video

My god SC is so bad. They’re gonna screw this up aren’t they?

I swear to god if sellers screws this up… Just run the ball, they can’t stop you. Gonna be a long game for Reed in Austin. He shuts down when facing pressure.

I will say that Georgia does not have the personell that OSU does. They got guys but they can definitely be had in the secondary.

That's what OSU did right? I suspect that's what georgia is going to do. Unless you can bring 2+ free rushers in his face when blitizing it makes no sense to blitz Arch. He's not really affected by pressure, especially if it comes from a single guy.

So the ACC sucks, and they're only gonna get 1 team in. The Big 12 does not have 2 teams worthy of the CFP imo, but they still might get two in. Georgia is peaking at the right time, and I don't think "overconfidence" is gonna be a factor on saturday, but at least they might be a little more relaxed? Texas A&M can be had. Gotta tackle really well on defense and be aggressive. Gotta run the ball on them. I feel decentely optimistic about making the CFP. Unless we revert back to the Kentucky offense we had or the defense completely implodes.
