  1. to this point, Arch still has obvious potential that hasn’t been tapped yet, which is why it’s way premature to give up on him, strictly football-wise. before the season we all expected a clear upgrade at qb that would see us featuring a much improved, more dynamic offense. we were wrong. now, with Arch (and the entire offense) struggling, lots of people are ready to say “fuck it” and move on. those people are also wrong. Arch isn’t as good as we expected him to be, but he’s also nowhere near reaching his ceiling, so let’s stop acting like this is him as a finished product. most of the top college qbs of recent years went and cut their teeth somewhere small-mid, then transferred into a big program, and finally shined in year 4 or 5 as a starter. Arch is in year 1. let’s all calm our tits, take a breath, and see if he doesn’t fuck around and improve as time goes on.
  2. if he benches Arch and someone else comes in and stinks up the place then Sark has sabotaged himself. benching Arch would not only be wildly unpopular in the locker room, it would mean Sark scrapping everything he’s been working on the past three years and losing whatever reputation he still has left. if his replacement struggles- which he will- Saek may as well start looking for houses in State College, PA.
  3. *sunk cost fallacy also, this doesn’t apply after losing three hands of blackjack at a $10 table.
  4. i’m in favor of dumping keepers after this year. this league randomly adopted keepers one season after years of not doing a keeper league. i’ve always wanted to go back.
  5. the most corrupt president ever partnering with the most corrupt governing body in world sports. who could have seen this coming???
  6. i’ve been doing arch (pause) all year. that’s another weird thing about this quinn ewers cult. because they are incapable of admitting that QE isn’t who they thought he would be, they think everyone else is the same. have you read this board this year? do you see anybody here even remotely pleased with Arch? he’s been on the hot seat since like his 5th career start. QE was bad for three years and still had/has people who can’t admit it. the universal negative reaction to Arch’s play (at the beginning of his career, with a far inferior supporting cast) is the strongest proof yet that quinn ewers has a cult like following.
  7. have they announced sec dpow yet? he’s got to be on the shortlist.
  8. we’ve had this conversation before, both micro and macro. micro: i don’t hate quinn. never have. i simply went completely against the grain around here re: quinn and his skills, leadership, and performance, which led to years of extremely contentious and personal responses from hordes of people here. if you think that i’m delighting in quinn’s failure it’s not because i hate him, it’s because there are a few dozen posters here who’ve harassed me for years who are now foaming at the mouth over their laptop and screaming at their wife because of it. i find that funny and i enjoy it. macro: being critical of someone does not mean you hate them. 99% of this board doesn’t understand this. i hate jeff fisher. i think QE is/always has been overrated by kool-aid drinking fans. huge difference.
  9. straight out of a movie:
  10. DRAFT IS TONIGHT!!! be there, or we’ll auto pick russell westbrook and liangelo ball for you!
  11. this final drive was an interesting time to use bijan as a decoy and/or blocker on every play.
  12. calling a toss there was insane. 3rd and 1 with all of your offensive weapons and two great rb’s and you toss the ball like 6-7 yards behind the LOS? wow.
  13. he is just so badass. on the very short list of the best players in football.
  14. you literally asked when he looked amazing, not when he marched the team down the field on a long, sustained drive.
  15. jp crawford would be having a better postseason if he just never swung the bat.
  16. got a hold of that one.
  17. nothing like a game 7. tomorrow night gon be crazy.
