The issue I'll take with your post is that at least with Sark there is a trend. There is a pattern. He is the one constant. The red zone issues are still there.You're completely right about the rest. Yeah that's about the toughest game we could've played in our first game of the year under a new starting QB. But man, it was there for us yet again. It was like that stupid OU game from 2 years ago where we couldn't punch it in from the 1 with 4 tries. It's just baffling that the issues are still there because it's one of many things holding us back but one that should be less challenging to solve. I just want to convert more of these stupid games because I think winning them sets you on the right path and sets the table for your season. 2005 showed that.
I think Arch will be fine. That kid has maybe the most pressure placed on him since Chris Simms and that was way before the massive hype machine of social media. We have idiots thinking he'll be the Cowboys or Browns draft pick before the game was played. I think he'll get it together but like I said yesterday, we won't know a thing on him until Florida because that will be the next true test. A road SEC game against a rising opponent and a dynamic QB is similar to what we saw yesterday. The Swamp will be a hell of place to try to get a win.
I'm not out on Sark but I'm just disappointed like I said yesterday that this might just be his ceiling like James Franklin has a similar one. I'm hoping Arch is that VY type that can unlock Sark's brilliance again. I think I was more disappointed that it all looked so vanilla when I thought Arch would have all these additional options to his game that Ewers never had. Instead it looked very similar. Again, lots of season left and I'm not angry about yesterday, just yet again disappointed that we failed in a big matchup.
