  1. He is going to get worn down over the course of the season. He could beat up already. It just a nightmare environment for any QB. His consistency is the biggest issue, but hard to be consistent when you are the most pressured QB in the SEC. His upside is obvious, just have to see if he can get close to his ceiling. Offense is bad because of Sark's gameplans, OL, and Arch. I think the biggest reason is the OL, if they cannot clean up the A and B gaps this year the offense will continue to struggle. Need Sark to realize the issues and make OU game plan the norm, not the exception
  2. Did a guy with 7 starts miss a few guys with 45 pressures in a game? No fucking shit. there isnt a QB that would not miss guys in that environment. People say stupid shit like "missed guys when he had time". No shit, when QBs face pressure like that they get sped up. Like I said gameplan matters. Pressure rate was higher vs Florida than OU, but both were bad. The results were as different as the game plans. Turns out emphasizing the short pass behind a bad OL (4.2 aDOT vs OU) is better than the long pass (17+ aDOT vs Florida). Manning definitely needs to improve, but he is getting next to 0 help.
  3. I thought he looked decent vs Florida. I dont think many QBs would have looked much better facing 45 pressures. Lot of those pressures are coming from whiffs at the guard and center position, which is just death to any QB. How much do you miss your whipping boys Hayden Connor and Jake Majors now?
  4. He definitely needs to improve, but this is a stat with 0 context. HE has played the #1, #5, #21, and #25 defenses according to FEI. That is a beat down of a schedule for an offense, based on current DFEI rankings.
  5. in @BurntOrange&White defense, he is the most consistent poster on this board. His position is always the Qb sucks.
  6. This is different team. It easy to try to draw comparisons to last year, but the environment is completely different. Sark opened the year trying to run between the tackles with PA shots. You can saw the difference game plans make in back to back weeks. Florida the ADOT was over 17 and it was 4.2 vs OU. The pressure rate was still insane. Texas is 128th in pressures allowed. Arch is dead last in the SEC with pressures on 41% of his drop backs. They were 28th in 2024. The numbers are even worse when you watch game and discover most the pressure is coming A/B gap, which were very solid last year. Its pretty amazing Texas has only given up 13 sacks. I cannot imagine what the offense would look like with Ewers behind this OL, though I doubt we would see much of him if he played behind this OL. He probably would have died by the Florida game. Keep in mind Ewers was the 11th most quarterback-faulted pressure in FBS. Manning is in the 90th percentile with only 11.8% QB-faulted pressures.
  7. Even worse is going empty with motion, it like a sign that says Manning is running
  8. It is week 7 and it’s crazy to say maybe the biggest difference between 2024 and 2025 is Hayden Connor.. I never thought I would say that
  9. Going off memory, but Florida was reported to be ~18 yards and vs OU it was 4.2
  10. it bigger than that. Sark would have taken 1 perfect recruit and made him into a 7th rounder. Then the other would be in the transfer portal after failure. That isnt on the resume of a great offensive mind and QB guru like Sark. Not to mention the Manning family approval gave Sark the endorsement he needed. Manning failing at Texas is not something I want to contemplate as a Texas fan
  11. He did miss 20% of this throws in that game. We all should have seen it.
  12. I dont think Florida was garbage. You face 35 pressures and that many hits. I would say OSU, UTEP (by far the worst), and Kentucky. I think some of it is game plan. I think Sark had terrible game plans for Florida and Kentucky (they were eerily similar). Though we are not in the playoffs last 2 years with this OL. It is 2 fold, Manning is in his head and he is in a much worse environment
  13. he damn good in that game. I think this is all mental with Arch. Only thing I can come up with was the pressure of hearing how great he would be all summer screwed him up. That all fits when you watch him. You have a QB pressing in a much worse environment than last year.
  14. here is the odd thing about Manning. He makes incredible throws every game. Guy in face and he will rip a 20 yard throw to his 3rd option. Then he will be 5 minutes late on a 1 read throw or miss a gimme throw by 3 yards. I cannot understand him. Its the strangest thing I have ever seen. You could make a highlight tape of Manning this year and have people believe he is hte best Qb in the nation. You could make one and have people believe he is a back up on a 2A HS team.
  15. If Texas goes 4-1 in the next 5 games, there is very good chance Texas is in the playoffs. 4-1 means Sark figured out the offense and the media would fall in love with Texas again. This is not happening, but it is good to have a dream.
  16. Odds we see Caldwell this year are very high. Fact that Arch made it through 7 games this year is a minor miracle. Sam is the only other Qb I woudl even give a chance at startign 7 games behind this OL
  17. sunk reputation theory
  18. adjustments have never been his strength.
  19. I think right now Sark is own worst enemy. He spent the summer devising the offense for this season. That vision was built on faulty assumptions. He is now having issues with whether to run the offense he wants vs the offense he needs to run.
  20. This is stupid. Everyone has said Arch has clearly had issues. I think you are just doing the typical fan nonsense. You want to believe the offense will be fine with a quick change at QB. That is whistling past the grave. Anyone with any ability to honestly look at the offense can see there are a myriad of issues. Funny thing is you have guys in here last 2 years saying the offense wasnt hitting its potential blaming the OL and WRs. Those same guys are saying it is all Arch now but cannot admit that the talent is drastically lower this year. Dont be that guy
  21. Offense is young and inexperienced. You would hope that guys like Campbell and Wisner would step up. The defense has no such void or lack of options.
  22. Sark loves the deep ball. Took him awhile to give up on throwing it with Quinn. He eventually went to basically OZ and screen offense (obviously over-simplified). Manning stands in there and takes a shot. He has a good deep ball. That is Sark crack. Arch isnt ready to carry this offense and the OL cannot hold up for that shit. Sark needs to stop trying to live up to his rep as a play caller/designer and figure out an offense that fits this group. Anything requiring 3 seconds of protection is DOA.
  23. When the offense is this bad, it is on the coaching staff. Don’t get me wrong execution sucks and QB is so inconsistent. Some of those issue are because Sark views himself as an NFL OC. He has a new game plan every week, instead of developing a few core concepts that the offense can rely on. I thought Sark would build on OU gameplan, he decided that the Florida game plan needed another chance. Sark and the offensive staff are not putting players in a position to succeed. He brags about consistency on the staff, but the defense has had a lot of turnover and evolved. I think this is the year Sark needs to swallow a shit sandwich and bring on some new coaches and ideas for the offense
  24. The best part of RRS was the gameplan. The run game was predominately OZ and duo. It wasnt 10 different concepts. Perhaps that was Sark and Flood realizing that they needed to pair things down, perfect them, and then worry about variety. That gives me some hope. I think the key for offensive success is finding a run game and short passing game. Pretty much every team has played to take away the deep ball and force Texas to run the ball and be efficient. OU game was the first real step towards putting out film to make DCs reconsider the blueprint.
  25. I am not sure why, outside of 5 star. First of all, we have not seen much of the Simon, Clark, and Stewart (not at all). Simon has done nothing but impress when he got a decent workload. I would like to see him get some carries vs a P4 team, so we can get some real data to make an evaluation. Terry is a big athlete. He doesnt look particularly sudden in his cuts. Hard to make any judgement on his vision or blocking (Ill assume is poor, since he played the "best athlete give him the ball" position in HS). Could he be a power back with good speed, certainly. Seems a bit early to tell based on limited film and 0 play time in college. Keep in mind that vision might be the biggest trait in this offense, given the reliance on outside zone.
