  1. So, we’re revisiting Greg Davis’s tenure now? Fuck. Today blows.
  2. That’s a meh take. Even with the vanilla plan, guys were open, Arch just couldn’t make the throws. Arch fucked us more than Sark.
  3. Agreed. Not sure we’re disagreeing about anything.
  4. Reverse that. Arch had a miss rate we haven’t seen since Swoopes. That stat is the difference in the game. The only argument Sark had a worse day is if you think Arch should’ve been pulled at the half. Arch was ass. Sark manufactured more yards, first downs and 3rd down conversions than the opposition despite that. With a replacement level QB, Sark produces a win.
  5. Glasses, undershirt, whatever it takes.
  6. Seat Geek
  7. This is a fine take. But it’s ok to be concerned about both of them. I can only think Sark expected Arch to settle in and find his accuracy and rhythm running what they planned. Clearly blew that call. There’s also the matter of Arch having his success when tOSU’s defense was clearly not fresh, and quite possibly against a shifted late game defensive plan from Patricia, so how much of the success was because of those factors.
  8. It’s a data point that he isn’t up to it against great defenses. You have to consider that we ran the ball well and the defense gave him plenty of chances. This wasn’t a young QB being asked to overcome multiple other team failures. This was a young-ish QB being the obvious weak link while guys around him were succeeding. Out rushed them, outgained them by 133 overall, 2 more converted 3rd downs, only -1 TOs, penalties weren’t out of control (though timely in the way they fucked us), 5 more first downs. This wasn’t a mediocre performance by a QB, this was full on shitting the bed for 3+ quarters of the game. I’m not saying hope is lost, but this was concerning.
  9. Agreed. If Arch looks like ass against Florida or OU, we’ll have 2 data points to know that we’ve got a problem.
  10. We may have cursed Arch by not putting a “seems like he sucks” in the title of this thread. Guess he won’t be winning the Heisman. As far as optimism about improvement, he’s in year 3 here, so I’m not gonna be surprised if this is just who he is against great defenses. Maybe it’s first game rust. Maybe.
  11. Which Jesus? Evangelical Jesus? Well then:
  12. Mental illness on display. Don't be angry at him, pity him. Then ignore him. He knows he needs help, but refuses it.
  13. There was a bit on The West Wing about a message board made for fans of Josh Lyman in which Josh muses about the moderator being a dictatorial leader wearing a muumuu and chain-smoking Parliaments. Made me think of Katy when I heard that line.
  14. Would we know what we know w/r/t the OL if Sark didn't want it known / didn't care if it was known?
