Well, all I have done is explain why a bunch of nattering nabobs thought Arch would be great this year, or at least an improvement on Ewers. It was rational, as far as it went.
The bigger question, for which there probably is no single answer, is why does he suck. It seems Sark knew he wasn't ready for prime time last year and was right. I guess he hoped another year would be a breakthrough. Seems he's still hoping there, while the other hand fills with shit.
I don't think I'm gonna fault him for not playing Caldwell. Even if he fulfills our expectations, it's a short-term solution that's not going to get us an NC or even in or very far in the CFP. I think Sark has to have his eye on next year and what the blue fuck we're going to do with Arch, Lacey, a gimpy frosh Bell, and whoever we drag in from the portal. Some small chance remains that Arch gets it together.
I'm also guessing that it is Sark's preference to bring a QB along relatively slowly, for better or worse.
And then there's the OL problem, which may not have a quick fix and also risks headfucking (if not bodyfucking with injury) whoever is QB1 next year.
