    Hey look at the two guys who liked your post.  Surprise!!

    Look BurntOrange can be an asshole but he isnt wrong in the post you are quoting. That is LITERALLY what we said he needed to do. Not exactly sure what you are trying to say here by pointing at who liked his post. So you dont like any post by a poster simply based on who the poster is? Regardless of if the post is correct? Go back to last season. Do you not remember that @BurntOrange&White and I were going toe to toe on the Quinn thread? I mean we were really battling about it.

    Marginally beats a hotel in Indiana or Kentucky.

    Good luck with the surgery.

    Bro I assure you it does not. I am staying in an area with like 100 chain restaurants. I got in at 10pm on a Saturday and my eating options were Chili's, McDonalds, and Taco Bell. Everything else was closed.  My HEB at home closes at 11. Literally nothing going on.

    That's a damn long drive. Be safe.

    My kid tore her ACL and is getting surgery on Monday. I took the opportunity to bring her shit and car since I was coming up anyway for the surgery. Currently in a hotel in fucking Ohio. Gross.

    Jesus fucking Christ you’re a fucking bleeding panocha. Go root for OU. Doubt your bitch ass even went to UT

    Bro. We talk a lot of shit on the board. But there is literally no one I wouldn't sit down and have a beer with or stop on the side of the road for. Thats what makes us better than aggy. Let's not take the disrespect over the line.

    Things I think:

    fuck OU

    damn it feels good to beat them

    the entire team as a whole did not benefit from having NFL prostyle practices this offseason. They needed tons of reps and to be challenged. And somewhere in the third quarter I saw the switch be flipped for a lot of them. They were fighting hard and with heart. 
     

    I like Arch a lot. He has heart and he fights. And I loved Wisner saying Arch gave Wisner the game ball. 🏈 that’s cool af. The nepo baby shit gets old to hear and he will always hear it. But Arch isn’t a mental midget. I predict he will be great. He will be HIM. But he has yet to grow into all the stuff people have put on him since he began his quest as a QB. I believe he will. He’s got a good head on his shoulders and he fights. This was a tough learning curve and he will still be learning. 
     

    but I pray we ditch the prostyle offseason crap bc it put us in a self inflicted hole as a team we didn’t need to be in. I think we would have beaten Florida and maybe even Ohio State had we had contact practices and given our QBs 140 plays and had a spring game and no one will change my mind on this. It was a dumb Sark idea we didn’t need. We don’t have to dangle that shit to lure or keep recruits and this prostyle shit has failed everywhere it’s been tried in college. It kept the staff from properly evaluating everyone and had the players thinking they were miles ahead of where they actually were. 
     

    enjoy today. We gutted it out. And so did Arch and that says a lot about him. He didn’t fold. He kept fighting with his team. And the team showed the heart and spirit we all wanted to see. 

     

    Good stuff. A lot to build on. 

    Sark's pro style offense is a double edge sword. On one hand its a bit clunky and inefficient when you dont have studs everywhere like Saban Bama. That said its also why he gets the QBs he does. Kids wanna learn it so they can be ready for the next level. I dont think Arch comes here if its the air raid.

    well i thought it was funny. and accurate. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 

    Bro. Thats only accurate in your mind. Politics alone, he is the 180 of me. Keep trying but remember. We both have keyboards. The last time I took the gloves off you got banned and we all rather enjoy you being here so let's keep it about football.

    I hope he gets there and think he can but he hasn’t gotten there yet.

    My main point is that it’s wild to be advocating for another QB to take over right now.

    Yeah, thats not me. My point last year was we weren't as good around the QB as the Derkas of the world thought we were. Running game completely disappeared in big games. O-line with inexplicable whiffs consistently every game. This has been a problem every year. I wasn't saying Arch wouldn't be good. I was saying he wouldn't make those issues disappear. So my I told you so was that, because certain people told us that Arch standing tall in the pocket and mobility would totally make the systemic Oline issues go away. And you are right. He isnt there yet. I think its going to take a good bit of time to get there but he also needs some help from the coaches and Oline.n

    I don’t disagree with that on the presnap side. I just think if he doesn’t make that presnap read, he’s never getting that throw. And he currently isn’t going to change his presnap 1st choice as he doesn’t get it yet.

    I truly think he will get there Hobbes. My personal opinion is that not being challenged in high school made his learning curve a lot steeper than it would be if he came from 5 or 6a ball. He had all day to look around in high school.

    Alright dude. If you wanna take the gloves off we can do that. You are closer to Whitlock than I ever will be. In size and personality.

    No you don’t. 

    Again, I am not @Derka. I am not pissed at my quarterback for coming from a perceived higher station in life. This isn't fucking teams. I told you so's ended against OSU. Its winning time now. I just want him to play better, and in the long run he will. I've said that 100 times. Being critical of his play doesn't mean I want him to fail. Move on from that bullshit.

    Well if you want to take the presumptuous and doubling down on name-calling as a position, have some rancor.

    1. Dismissing what someone says as stupid, moronic, or idiotic based on a premise you don't really articulate says more about your mind than anyone to whom you direct your vacant claims.

    2. You are so unjustifiably sure of yourself that you claim I am pretending about my opinion. I actually name my statements as opinions. You proclaim absolute truth supported by disdain for any who disagree. Here, eat dick, you fucking moron if you don't agree with me. Hey, I just crushed whatever you think your argument is. Neato! I guess that really is persuasive.

    3. The main point I and others are making is not to take Arch down a dark road and bury him alive. Here's the line of reasoning. I know I'm wasting my time because you will destroy it by writing that I'm not serious and that my position is really really stupid. I'll likely weep.

    a. Arch Manning is objectively struggling to find open receivers and throw accurately to those he does find. Many promising completions have been limited by his ball placement retarding the speed of the receiver. 

    b. We have lost twice to competitive teams (even though it's possible Florida won't be very competitive with anyone else). Many elements caused those losses. Pay attention now, other players poor play does not excuse the problems Manning has had as described in a. above.

    c. Amid the futile plays at the end of the game in hopes of scoring against Florida, Caldwell has to go in and makes the only competent QB play of that possession.

    d. It's actually not uncommon to play a player who has shown, in game, that his experience may pay off nicely by succeeding at some of the easy reads and throws that dog the starter.

    e. You don't fucking know how good Caldwell is. Nobody is saying he's VY. You keep harping on his time at Troy. The same coach that chose Manning chose this guy as a viable back up. Should I put more stock in Sark's evaluation or yours? (I know. I know. I'm just pretending that's a reasonable statement. Ya got me.)

    f. You defend your position like that skinny blond guy begged us to leave Britney alone. The difference is that he was joking. Enough with, oh he'll die behind that line, he tries so hard, he really isn't playing poorly, nobody in the world should be put in. Translation: stick to losing if it means I can hold my jackass position that not even God in heaven should bench him for a series.

    g. Yes, only a series or more if Caldwell moves the ball. That's all we're saying. Who is actually being unreasonable here?

    @Thatguy's analysis and explanation are persuasive. Your claim about the hopelessness of the one play perfectly illustrates your odd desperation. Deny your eyes all you want but maybe keep it to yourself. What's going on here is pretty much self-immolation. We're growing sad for you.

     

    I know for some this is tldr. For you, it's likely too long can't understand it. Now fuck yourself along and toss another spurt at the Arch altar.

    Oops. I thought that was for me and didnt see who you quoted . My bad.

    The play is the play Roma. Its not opinion. This isnt politics. He either saw it or he didnt. That said I have never wanted Arch benched. The argument was simply about what he shouldve done. Nothing more. Quit trying to make me Derka who disliked Quinn from season one on. I hope Arch kicks ass tomorrow. Im just pointing out what Im seeing.

    the 2 stop routes are 45-50 yards apart. They run outside opposite hashes. So yes, that is sideline to sideline if you are just reading the 2 stops to get the ball out quick. Neither are going for a 1st down and 1 is a likely pick 6 (to the right). Florida did not bring pressure, what the fuck are you talking about. Everything you just said is made up BS. 

     

    Again, you are either being willfully obtuse, or are just not even reading what I am saying. Imagine you are the QB. You motioned your receiver to the left and a man went with him. So now you know it's Cover 2 with man underneath or as us olds call it "man 2". As soon as you get that information in your head you should be working the pick play on the boundary. Why? Because the safety to that side is insignificant as he is too deep, and the pick play you have on is specifically designed to beat this EXACT coverage. That's how you play football. You don't "scan sideline to sideline". Sark put the motion in there to force them to declare man or zone so then his quarterback knows where his best chance of success is. Quit trying to make it like I'm doing something nefarious here. It's basic football. If he hits dude on the break, he only has to get two or 3 yards to get to the sticks with his man 5 yards off him. You take that chance. And I said a quarterback SHOULD expect pressure on 3rd and 9. I didn't say they brought a blitz. I will go back and find this same play in another game where the O-line holds up if it makes you feel better. Then when he doesn't see it there either what will you say?

    I give up. You are going to do you. You think a QB can go sideline to sideline in 2 seconds, because the OL got whipped so be it. It is fvcking stupid. You calling anyone disingenuous after some the shit you pu tout here is amazing.  Ill reference the screen you criticized him on and the Wisner dump off when he isnt even in the play.. 

    What are you talking about sideline to sideline? It's 3rd and nine. If I asked every football fan in the US what is going to happen on 3rd and nine they would say the defense is going to dial up some pressure. That said any QB in this situation should be thinking the same, and calculating opportunities to get the ball out quickly. If you know you have a quick hitting pick available use it. Again, this kid will make this throw next year. He just isn't seeing it currently, and yes the OL getting whipped made it worse.
