    I would trust Ewers over Arch due to his experience. That's only rational. He gives you the best chance to win now, but the long term cost to Arch's development is not worth it to me.

    I would look at the Tua and Trevor Lawrence situations, and say that sometimes the best chance to win now, is playing the QB you know to be better, even if it's a less experienced one.

    Sark will not start Arch over him, but I'd rather develop Arch than play Ewers.

    if he can't make that decision, despite having been with Saban up close, then he isn't long for here. you recruit as best you can, and then let it play out honestly. anything else is a bad bargain. I know Sark trends towards being a nice guy, but you have to believe an offensive guy like him who relies so much on a passing QB will not hamstring himself like that.

    Bo Nix still sucks if you ask me.

    Penix has "it." Can read quickly, hit receivers crisply. Quinn Ewers does not have "it."

    sometimes "it" is just repetition. or working at your craft. if not, why doesn't 'it" show up immediately from day one? did Brady not have "it" in college?

    Ewers can get better. A real competition would be helpful for him to do so.

    This seems reactionary. Sweat and Murphy carried our defense all year. 

     

    I'm not saying they aren't good. They were great this year, but  I'm saying you are comparing them to one player who many in Pittsburgh will tell you should be in the Hall of Fame, and the other, despite underachieving,  was considered to be among the best pass rushing DTs to play in the NFL when he put the effort into it. That's a crazy high bar

    Sweat and Murphy will go down in Texas lore like Hampton and Rogers. Going to really miss them. But we can seriously improve at Edge and in the secondary.  And I'm not as worried about finding replacements at offensive skill positions. 

    The realistic goal this season was a Big 12 championship. We lucked our way into the 4 team playoff. I feel good that Sark will learn from this game and keep us on the right path. 

    I would trade both Sweat and Murphy for just one of Hampton or Rogers. Not in the same zip code. Award or not.

    Are we losing our 4 year starter at QB? Sweet Christ, calm the fuck down. We were only reasonably in line to win the Big 12. This was a fantastic season and we’re actually ready to go into the SEC with a decent schedule. 

    didn't say it wasn't a fantastic season, but I just subscribe more to the don't take it for granted philosophy regarding the chances to win it all.

    nobody can deny the road isn't tougher. Sark's gotta make some changes, and there will be some growing pains involved.
