That's one way to look at it. The other is Livingstone was WIDE open, and by underthrowing a bit it ensures that it's caught. If that pass is thrown with more aggression, there's a chance it falls incomplete. 

Do we think that good QBs that have great games are just throwing dots everywhere? That's not how it works. We are just Zaprudering everything with Arch and no other QB gets the same treatment.

And the safety was coming over so it could have been knocked down or intercepted. The safety fell down so we don't know where he would've ended up. He put the ball in the right place.

Ok, man. 

It's not all on Arch for things to click. The O-line and running game need to improve. WRs need to make plays. Arch clearly needs to improve. Stop with the fucking killer penalties. There is no rhythm on offense right now, they need to get going. 

But thanks for the Max Browne story. 

 

The Oline just pisses me off.  Several years in the system guys and they can't fucking bully Dlinemen 40 lbs lighter.  Would tOSU/Oregon struggle against SJSU dline?

This

They are running pass rush stunts with 2 DLs and 6 DBs on the field... We should've been fucking gashing them with running plays.

Yes the OL and run game is iffy(especially with Wisner, who I think we're starting to see is important to the running game)

But you can tell even with the improvements Arch made from week one to week two, something is still "off".

He's allowed to miss deep shots. All QB's do...

But he shouldn't be missing "layup" passes like wide open drag routes and crossers or slants.

I think he'll be better next week...and then better the week after.  But we need to see it.

Lol. We literally do it to everyone. Consistently. Every year. Since eternity.

Arch is just a different QB. He is much more of a playmaker. He isnt a system guy throwing darts in the short game. I think this is going to be an interesting marriage with Sark. Sark likes system guys. I think Sark is going to have to loosen the leash over time and let Arch be Arch. 

And that's the rub Codaxx. It's not Sark that is holding Arch back. Arch does it to himself. You well as I do tat in most situations the shorter routes develop faster than the longer ones. If you are always looking for the long ball, you will miss the short ones. Teams literally run their defenses to keep us from taking the to off, an force us into 12-15 play drives in hopes that we falter along the way. We need to move the chains until they creep up and then take the top off to keep them honest. Last year AND this year when Arch has been playing we need to run the offense with patience and look for our spots to be aggressive. If he can settle in and do that we will be just fine moving forward.

It's my bad, but I meant that Arch is a national story every week and analysts around the country are critiquing his every move. 

We Texas fans do this with all of our QBs, yes.

Take a look at the routes. When was the last time you saw Sark run four verts? How many less screens is Sark calling? Sark did it in Arch’s first game also. Sark is hunting the big play also. He has a QB that throws a great deep ball. It’s kind of Sark

Should add I was really talking about Arch going off script. That said anyone saying Arch is throwing too many deeps balls is not watching. The kid is 4-8 on deep balls. It’s literally the best part of the offense

Tbf Peyton was probably dealing with a shoulder issue in that pic. Started wearing the glove because he couldn’t grip iirc

Eli, meanwhile, unfortunately that's just his face.

Steffi Graf was a monk compared to Monica Seles, both visually and aurally. Graf was such a no nonsense player, immediately walking over to the baseline for the next point as if she can’t wait to get the game finished. 

Neither were fap worthy. Now Chris Evert on the other hand, she got some spanks.

I think part of the reason he is calling less screens is that this group isn't good at them. They aren't working very well. Wide receivers aren't blocking and our line is hasn't been good in space.

I wont argue. I am just saying if you watch the first 2 games you can see the offense is much different. Lot more gap schemes, progression passing, and much more vertical passing attack.

Exactly. Also we ran a fair amount of vertical plays last few years as well if you go back and look. @Codaxx doesn't seem to see the short and intermediate routes in our current passing attack. Just because there is a vertical doesnt mean you have to throw it to them. The same things were happening when Arch came in last game. In fact, vs Georgia onen of the first things he did was throw right past a wide open crosser into double coverage.

Almost never. Texas was predominantly a horizontal team last year. Believe the highest rate of passes behind the LOS in the country last year and ton of wide zone. It made sense with a QB that struggled deep and intermediate (believe ~50% comp rate last year on intermediate balls). This year is much more of a vertical attack. Arch's strength is his legs and his deep ball. That said Texas is has thrown an average of 4 deep balls a game this year. They have completed 4 of the 8. Guessing the average per attempt is between 15-25 yards, so it has been a big success. That has been the best part of the offense to date, so hard to criticize that ara of the offense. Now they need to figure out something they can do efficiently to stay ahead of the chains. Tried more gap schemes in the run game. Saw Sark dabble with straight drop back short gamev sSJSU, we will se if that has legs.

Graf... not fap-worthy?

Check again; are you certain you're a heterosexual male? With a pulse?

literally her only flaw is her schnozz, which is every bit the gigantic honker, but the legs and, well, the rest of her more than makes up for it

there's a reason all the guys on the tour had massive crushes on her
