This thread, the OP and a lot of these posts are strange. Arch didn’t play great, but when his line played well in the 4th quarter, he played well. He missed some throws late, and every QB does every game. But he was good except the last few plays. 

He isn’t in the top 3 of reasons for why we lost. DL in the first half, OL through 3 quarters, and corners getting worked all were significantly worse than Arch. Probably Tre and Sark too.  I actually came away encouraged, relative to OSU or UTEP games. 

He’s not going to be benched, nor should he. 

Arch was not the reason we lost. He is improving and playing good to great when given time. His development will continue and zi expect him to play lights out next year. We have other problems to fix in the meantime. Offensive playcalling, OL and DL play, run game and special teams to name a few.

Talent WRT accuracy and completing routine passes is not at all clear at this point.

Yep, agreed, though that wasn’t really on display today. I don’t think he’s a sure thing any more, so don’t misunderstand me. I just think blaming him for this loss is emotional blowhard bullshit.

Totally agreed.

then we write off this entire season while Arch gets comfy. 

I don’t think so. I’ll be in Fair Park next Saturday getting shithammered and having fun. At this point I’m thinking 8-4 or 9-3 with a few upsets and maybe another WTF loss. And Arch gains valuable experience. 

Are you under the impression that one of the backups can lead us to 10-2 and/or the CFP?  I am not.

I’d put our doubtfuls out already. No way Mateer has even gripped a football yet and Lewis was murdered by a brick wall today.

Arch had the deck stacked against him with no running game and some terrible OLine play...

But, those two sacks he took on the last drive were killer. Just feel like his game awareness/processing are lacking (though I was drunk as shit by that point, so maybe I'm misremebering)

Exhibit A

You watched that game and that’s your big takeaway? 

Nah he can say that AND say he’s not THE reason they lost. 
 

Both can be true. 
 

I don’t blame arch for the loss. He also wasn’t great either.

Yes, he doesn’t see anything underneath when there are open receivers available. He locks into his primary and refuses to check down when there are open targets to be had. Instead he will chunk it deep. Hell even on his first touchdown he held the ball way too long and made that TD tougher than it needed to be.

I saw that on Twitter. That was painful. But it also shows how fucking retarded Oklahoma really is for not putting padding on their brick walls. Especially when they built them that close to the field.

Yes, it’s really stupid. Though with how hard he hit the wall, I’m not sure padding would’ve helped much anyway.

He was far from the biggest issue today. But that doesn't mean he's not a liability right now. He's not seeing the middle of the field very well. Like ever, really. And he misses tons of layups. He's currently a drive killer with the inability to hit easy checkdowns. He can't hit intermediate passes unless he's platformed perfectly. He can't find his feet. There are probably 100 qb's in college right now that might not be as physically imposing as him but would be much more functional in this offense. He flashes an excellent ball 3 or 4 times a game but it's mostly astonishingly terrible otherwise. A dogshit offensive line just makes it worse. The only above average game he's had this year was against a high school team from Huntsville.
