Jaylon Guilbeau is getting picked on quite a bit. Guilbeau gave up a big catch and run and was beat deep another time and was called for pass interference.

Man, Gilbeau has been dogshit this year. Lucky for him it jst gets glossed over because of Arch.

Yeah that makes much more sense now. And during the SJSU game when Caldwell was out there smiling and pushing down the field, they panned to a shot of Arch on the sideline and he didn't look happy he was out there. On top of all the pressure Arch has, knowing that guy was probably brought in as insurance for you, isn't going to help with his mental stability. 

Come on, man. If he looked unhappy it's because he played the worst game of his life.

He's just not one of our best five in the secondary, imo. We have better corners and a better nickel.

Imagine proposing this back in June or whenever it was we brought in Caldwell. 

I read Nahlin swearing a couple of times that Manning didn't look like this in fall camp. It's really hard to imagine, with our offense going up against that defense every day in practice. 

He knows everybody on the field. He likes the guys on defense and they like him. Can it be more comfortable?

Also, they don't scrimmage 1s vs 1s all day in practice.

Did OU’s offensive ineptitude hurt their ability to fix things? 
It’s an NIL world and about 90% of conversations and decisions these days center around money.

If you’re a receiver or running back and there are no holes and no passes to catch, you will lose money by taking NIL money (if this doesnt get fixed)

Enough with this bullshit yips mental shit. That shit is okay for isolated stretch in a game, not 3 game stretches especially vs bad competition. Arch is in his fucking 3rd year of the system and he’s missing wide open players in the offense, not seeing wide open players in the offense, etc. this is just straight up dog shit qb play

Two underwhelming (as compared to potential and original hype) QBs in a row. At some point, coaching has to be tossed into the conversation as a mainstream narrative and then we’re really fucked. At that point, what QB with real potential is going to want to come play in this shit show? 

If Manning doesn’t get his shit together, Sark needs to make a change and see if the problem is primarily with Arch, or not. That’s the only way to salvage this. 

Both Thompson and Card looked their best under Sark imo. With Ewers there was too much injury derailments that hindered his true development. I’ll die on the hill that Ewers was a good to great Qb(not elite!) when healthy and average at best when dealing with any type of injury. Just the nature of who he was as a player which was frustrating to watch. I also think the pro style offense we run really challenges QB’s processing ability. Someone like Ewers would have looked way better in a simpler offense like the Air Raid but the readiness wouldn’t have been there at the next level. I think it was confirmed the style of offense Sark runs played a big role in the Manning’s decision to pick Texas. Ewers’ first year starting in the offense was rough and real bad at times. Maybe we’re witnessing that with Arch on top of the complete circus going on between his ears. 
 

So, I’m not ready to fire the alarm bells with Sark and the QB’s, yet. If the reports from Bobby and Gerry are true, that everyone inside the building is completely flummoxed about Arch on game days, then Sark needs to let the kid breathe. It seems to be complete mental execution with Arch. If we could be a fly on the wall during film today, I’d bet Arch is relaying exactly what Sark needs to hear from a guy that’s struggling.

Not a rhetorical question - How much time do we think Sark actually spends coaching the QBs? Like, is he in the meeting room with them every day or is Milwee leading all of that? I suspect the latter given all the other head coach responsibilities.

Also - yeah Guilbeau has been the biggest weak spot on defense by far. Teams aren't even throwing at MM and Littleton has been solid. Guilbeau has been overmatched every game. Maybe the other backups suck but sure seems like Guilbeau should move back to slot behind Littleton.

We have a championship caliber defense. Special teams are definitely improved. Offense is completely lost. I agree with the take that you can’t let this entire team suffer because the pre-anointed QB is lost. Who cares why!! I’ve NEVER been a “back-up QB” guy. But this is about the entire team-or it should be - and not just one player. You can see the entire offense’s body language is deflated and defeated. No excitement. No juice. For obvious reasons. You gotta make a change. Now. Not for the FL game - that’s too late and again, unfair to the rest of the team. We should be in “whatever it takes to win” mode. Sucks for Sark because WR are open. But that’s why he gets paid millions of dollars- make the tough call. But again, with that defense, all we need is a game manager at QB. You can’t tell me one of the backups can’t at least manage the game better. If not, the season is lost anyway.

He’s missing guys by 4 yards on short and stop routes. This is straight up psychological. Insisting otherwise just shows your abject stupidity and the rest of us aren’t in the mood for it.

His complete fundamentals breakdown is definitely mental. Throwing late over the middle is definitely mental and not just complete garbage QB play.

Then why did you assert this?

It wouldn't shock me if he has some injury that isn't helping, but that guy is clearly in his own head.  See (for instance) Chuck Knoblach.

You don’t know what the yips are so sit this one out.

Do you really not understand what the yips are?

Don't use the word if you don't understand it.

I assume anyone who doesn't know what the yips are never played golf.  I was a below average golfer, but even with that meager game there where periods where basic skills just evaded me, and it was definitely in my head.

If he is looking sharp in practice, but not the same in the game then it is defintely mental. 

 

If he is shit in practice and also in the games then he is just not the guy and this was a poor evaluation. If he is injured then he needs to get that squared away and be ready for next year. Caldwell has experience.

I am fully of the opinion at this point the transfer portal for experienced veterans is the way to go at QB.

Jaggy ass Will Howard doing what he did in the playoffs last year had me thinking this, then Aguilar at Tennessee has convinced me.  A good, experienced QB into a plug ac play situation, with this D would have been great.

Plus they develop somewhere else with the potential of learning the QB mechanics from an anti-milwee
