  1. Had some good moments but overall, meh but that's to be expected. The show didn't need a re-boot at all.
  2. But in the end, Sark couldn't coach around those flaws. Which was no real threat to stretch the field, therefore we constantly threw 5 yards passes. He posed no real threat to take off, and the defense didn't need to key on him. He also has very poor pocket presence. Accuracy anything beyond check downs was wildly inconsistent. So many passes were just floated and his footwork was below average. All of the above caused us to lose the biggest games we played which were both Georgia games, both semifinals games.
  3. I was in middle school during this. They resurrected baseball after the strike and had people following the game who normally didn't. Such a fun time. Put them all in the HOF. They deserve it just on talent alone but even further than that, what they did for the game.
  4. Nick Saban had no issues taking out a struggling Hurts, who actually had real success unlike Quinn in the middle of the national championship game and they never looked back. Hurts had to transfer out because his job was lost. Quinn hit his ceiling here and it was painfully obvious we were handcuffed by him and would be the rest of the year. No idea what message Sark was trying to send Quinn by benching him for a few plays and he comes right back to take over. And then, that message didn't work because he didn't improve a lick after that game. Any pass more than 5 yards down the field left you holding your breath.
  5. It also sends the message that coddling takes precedent over actual talent. That Sark is willing to keep a better talented player on the bench so his lesser talented teacher's pet doesn't get his feelings hurt? The best talent should always be on the field, regardless of how this affects draft stock. Even keeping in Quinn the rest of the year didn't actually help him. Quinn's poor play tanked his draft stock. He would have been drafted around the same position no matter if he finished the year or not. NFL scouts watch these games through totally different lenses than we do. The jury was already out by the Georgia game, he just wasn't that great. This was very evident in the Washington semifinals game.
  6. Was just about to post this. Yes, the kicker missed but that game was in the bag. Defense showed out and shut down one of the best RBs in the country. Even got a special teams touchdown. Offense was terrible more than not and Quinn with a terrible turnover that gave them life late. Defense wore down because the offense couldn't sustain anything. I don't even think Quinn was better than David Ash, he just got propped up with all the NFL talent we had. How many games did we win because of Quinn? Not many at all. But seemingly every loss we had in the last 2 years was directly because of him and his inconsistent play.
  7. What grade is this?
  8. Not to mention, with Arch, the defenses had to respect him as a runner. This opens the field up even more. Defenses weren't worried about Ewers ability to take off. Arch will be able to make more out of a broken play as opposed to Ewers self-sacking himself and making his OL look worse than it was. The problem is, will the defense be as good? We got away with winning games with junk offense and long scoring droughts. Because the defense did their thing. The games that come to mind right away is Arkansas, Florida, aggy. Ewers did his best to give away the aggy game. That should have been a straight up route. A 4 score plus win. But it became a nail biter solely because Ewers. Defense made 2 monstrous 4th down stops that changed the landscape of that game. Also, Arch accounted for one of the TDs. Georgia SEC title game was a terrible game for him, too. So glad I don't have to watch him for a team I root for. The last 2 years was the best we've had talent wise since the 2005-09 years but pissed 2 winnable semifinals games.
  9. Matthew Lesko, right?
