whenever our offense stalls out, it’s never like, “oh no, arch is missing wide open receivers a turtling in the pocket and taking too many sacks”, it’s like, “holy shit our o line sucks, our receivers can’t catch, and sark has no idea what he’s doing.”
conversely, our offense this season doesn’t roll at all without arch playing a big part in that. it’s a stunning contrast to quinn ewers, who was surrounded by superior talent, who had a great o line in front of him, who constantly had a clean pocket to work with, yet who was erratic, and inaccurate, and who self-sacked like nobody i’ve ever seen. over the last two seasons, whenever our offense stalled out it was usually because quinn ewers was missing open receivers and creating sacks out of thin air. now we have a qb who has inferior talent all around him, who makes huge plays out of nothing, who has pocket presence like veteran pro, and who leads his team to scoring drives an wins.
we are at the point where anyone who still thinks that it’s even a conversation between quinn and arch is truly beyond reason.
