@Jeff Howe agree on Arch not being a good fit for what Sark wants to do…but what’s wildly concerning to me is that we (Longhorn nation collectively, to be clear — not you) said the exact same thing about Quinn. “Oh, Quinn can only complete passes inside of 5 yards from LOS. Sark is an explosive play guy, likes to take deep shots, and that’s Arch’s strong suit.” I worry that this is nothing but an excuse from us fans who are overly optimistic about the next chapter (ie the new QB and his style that will be “complementary” to Sark’s scheme and system). At some point, we have to zoom out and come to terms w the common denominator being Sark’s playcalling and consistent underperformance of elite QB talent…in my opinion.
Derrick Cooper rushes for 2 first downs on back to back plays and running hard and w purpose. Instead of pounding the rock again, Sark decides to be overly creative to no avail and we lose momentum. It’s infuriating. Creativity is great but not at the expense of doing what you need to win the game. Maybe overly critical here but nothing wrong with “playing the highlights” as Rod says repeatedly…we don’t care if it looks cool or not Sark. My two cents at least, though I may be overreacting (as we all should be at this point bc it’s inexcusable and pathetic).
@Gerry Hamilton love to hear your thoughts here too
