I disagree. Just on ability and mobility alone he should be able to consistently do more of what Sark wants by next season. I think it'll be a slower start, really wish we didn't schedule that stupid OSU game, but I think by November Arch will be way ahead of where Quinn is.
If Taafe and Trey Moore come back, we have some guys step up in the secondary, and of course round out successfully in the portal, this defense should be borderline elite again next season. They were absolutely elite this season.
Having a QB that not only knows the offense, but has the ability to get the ball where it needs to be consistently, will take this team over the top. That, along with weak interior run blocking, was what kept this offense from being great. Fix those 2 issues and this thing can go to another level.
I've been critical of Ewers because I felt strongly that his weaknesses and flaws were not only unacceptable for a former 5 star 4th year QB with this quality of weapons around him, but would ultimately get us beaten by championship level teams. It happened twice against Georgia and in this semi final. The defense did their job. Ewers and the offense couldn't do theirs.
Oh well, it's been a successful rebuild to this point and the team should improve in necessary areas. This was just the start, and now it's time to level up. Let's look forward to better offense and close the book on the Ewers era. He was good enough to drive the bus of a very talented team to 2 playoff appearances, but not good enough to beat the top teams when it mattered. This is the last time I'll mention him in a post. Let's move on.
