  1. Being a 5 start doesn’t automatically mean the development to the next level will be easier and it’s not necessarily an indictment on Sark as qb guru either. We gotta remember that Sark runs a pro style offense and it was evident Arch wasn’t close to ready his freshman year. At this I’m not sure if Sark is being stubborn or if Arch is on a longer development curve than expected. There’s evidence for both and in all likelihood it’s probably a mixture of the two. But Arch has played 2 1/2 games already and had a big moment against Georgia. Arch isn’t dumb and more than likely realizes that if he hits the underneath route against Georgia and we get at least 3 on that drive, he’s in the driver seat right now. Or maybe not and Sark brings Ewers back out. But I do think Arch should be fine when or if his name is called no matter the situation.
  2. It was. Maybe him being shocked at the coverage and knowing a fade route wasn’t going to work had something to do with it. Or he just half assed the last play of the game and a chance to play in the national title game.
  3. AD didn’t do much of an adjustment either tho. The throw that Ewers needs to make in this situation is almost just as difficult because the way AD places his body. His hips are faced the wrong way so he would have to quickly flip them and plant a foot in the ground to make a borderline diving catch. So throwing it to the pylon would make it an insane catch by AD. If they could do it all over again I’m betting AD runs a route similar to the one in the CCG against okie st, and it’s an easy pitch and catch. Edit: this isn’t me saying it was all AD. They both messed up and were unfortunately unprepared for the look.
  4. Going over that play again makes me sad but I’ll die thinking both Ewers and AD were shocked at the coverage the DB played. By the time they both realized it, it was too late.
  5. I get what you’re saying but there is more evidence showing that Ewers plays better after fucking up than the other way around. It’s a point that doesn’t carry weight so why bring up a hypothetical situation in which you do not know the outcome? Bama could have recovered and scored, and then we go down and get the lead right back. Then what? You’re so hung up on what could’ve went wrong that game without realizing everything that he did in the Bama game is exactly why everyone is so pissed right now. We get that version of Ewers this year, we’re basically unstoppable on offense.
  6. I like how in a previous post about the Bama game you mentioned Ewers was lucky that his mistake fumbling the snap on the fourth down conversion didn’t cost them more. But you also failed to mention that 4 plays later we turned it over on downs and Bama scores to take the lead and huge momentum shift happens. Wonder what happened after that?
  7. It’s pretty simple. He’s good at progressions with a clean pocket but when the pocket gets iffy then his ability to go through progressions basically disappears. Well, that and everything associated with being a consistent qb disappears.
  8. The Oline and the run game does like to flip the on/off switch during games but Ewers being inconsistent poo poo is a bigger threat to the overall team success this year.
  9. He’s a redshirt freshman which is the same as Arch. Nico has been good against lower quality opponents and they rely heavily on their run game against better opponents. They also have a stout defense like us. Year 3 Ewers should definitely be better than RF Nico, but I’m not sure if Arch would have done more although from what limited action I’ve seen from both Arch>Nico.
  10. I would have simply kept my mouth shut. Lando is arguably in the fastest car and had a shot at the title. He can’t be fucking around and folding under pressure. The guy is a great driver but there seems to be something mentally keeping him from taking the next step.
  11. What a shit show for today.
  12. Never got the hype with their gloves.
  13. There have been at least 3 holding calls on Gunnar that were him just dominating the defensive guy. The Vandy one being the most egregious call.
  14. I hope Sark isn’t even entertaining that thought. The best should play or else leaving a guy in that struggles to throw the ball down field is more effective in making him look like a poor developer and overall decision maker. Sark has easily highlighted Ewers and his ability to play qb at a high level. At this point it’s up to Ewers to show he can do it consistently enough. It’s a mental thing that is not always coachable for a player, some guys have and others don’t. It sucks for a guy like Ewers, who by all means has given everything to this program and university but we have a championship caliber team right now. Sark needs to know what exactly he’s going to get from his Qb for 4 quarters, not 2 or 2 1/2, but all 4.
  15. 1st & 15 or 20 is the best way to get a drive going you idiot.
  16. Idk. This was from today.
  17. James May all by himself in his bunker with some beer. He’ll be belting some random facts like the wood inside a Bentley only comes the side of a cliff in Asia.
  18. Agree although the offense does take a more dynamic dimension when Arch is on the field. What Ewers could be is kinda not relative at this point. Probably a better comparison.
  19. Reminds me of Dabo with Kelly and Lawrence. Kelly needed to progress and show that he could lead a very talented team to a championship. Lawrence came along with not as much playing time as Arch but when he was on the field it became more obvious and almost inevitable. By week 4 Lawrence was named the starter. It’s time to shape up or ship out for Ewers. Sark didn’t recruit the portal and high school levels at an elite as he did to watch Ewers start slow against good defenses.
