Grasping at straws here, but did Arch attempt some kind of Tiger Woods-ish mechanics overhaul in the offseason? And he's struggling through it now? I don't know, nothing makes sense.
This is Arch's third year in the program, and he has already played a decent amount of football. His first start was a calendar year ago, and then had another after that where he was amazing.
Oh Jesus, Texas-OU. Um yeah whatever it is we're gonna do at QB we need to figure it out before then. If Arch is rattled and in his own head at home against UTEP, that atmosphere in Dallas is gonna make his head explode.
Prior to that, Manning had two wide open receivers and threw to neither of them, so that he could scramble around for awhile and eventually throw an INT.
It's all confusing, but the wild inaccuracy is what gets me. We saw him play in the spring game when he should have been a senior in high school, and I'm not sure the ball ever hit the ground. Last year against Miss St, I think he had five incompletions, with two of those being drops and two being thrown away. Out of I think 41 attempts. Obviously the mechanics and footwork all play a part too. It's just bizarre.
Imagine proposing this back in June or whenever it was we brought in Caldwell.
I read Nahlin swearing a couple of times that Manning didn't look like this in fall camp. It's really hard to imagine, with our offense going up against that defense every day in practice.
Nahlin is talking on IT about a Georgia Tech type offense where Arch throws the ball 10 times a game.
What has happened the first three games of the season is almost unbelievable.
Hey guys. Did we? Did we roll them? Name the score, etc? 63-3 type game?
We have had the preseason Heisman favorite (or co-favorite?) at QB the past two seasons. Ewers was a weak link for much of last season and thus far Arch is.... yeah.
I texted a friend that we have gone downhill from the days of Casey Thompson and Hudson Card. This is unimaginable.
About five times now this season, Manning has had a completely wide ass open WR crossing in front of him.... and the ball hasn't even touched the receiver. Not like a little high, or a little behind.... the ball hasn't touched him. I have no explanation for this.
