last year when arch looked athletic, dynamic, and like someone who might live up to his otherworldly hype, we still never benched quinn even though he couldn’t move the chains against the likes of kentucky, vandy, a&m, and arizona state, and that was with a wildly superior supporting cast. he’s not going to bench arch now with absolutely nobody on the bench or in the pipeline who looks ready to take over. benching quinn would have taken balls. benching arch would take stupidity. it would basically be sark waving the white flag on his career at Texas. it’s not happening.

The first mistake in this hypothetical is to assume the backup QB is the answer. The second is to assume Sark will admit his inability to develop two #1 rated QBs by benching them. There is a reason some coaches never win championships despite being pretty good coaches.

Just now, Coach pop a bitch said:

If he hasn't developed arch what makes you think he was spending time with the back ups? The real question is does he have the nuts to hire an OC and/or fire flood? 

Yeah, those are the first questions.

I kind of assume that the QB room receives instruction mostly as a group.  But I suppose the QB getting most of the practice reps also gets the most instruction on a 1 on 1 basis.

I can understand keeping Arch QB1 for the rest of the season to see if the switch ever comes on, but then opening the position to competition.

Speaking of Sark and balls...  does Loreal know that Sark had a vasectomy a couple of years ago? 

Maybe that's just another baseless internet rumor, though.

My jaw would completely hit the floor. The implications for what that would mean are hard to imagine. I think it’s very likely the case Sark and Arch are completely tied at the hip. 
 

If it was announced that Sark is sitting Arch, I would almost assume Cooper has told Sark to shelf Arch and that they’re transferring out.

So? Who cares? Only half of 5* QBs amount to anything.

A ton of money was raised to put pieces around Arch specifically. That was the pitch. It would mean we are doing a reset and a ton went into all of this.

I think the better question is, if Arch doesn’t progress by season end to the point he can legitimately lead us to conference championship and national championship contention next year, does Sark open up the qb position for a true competition to be qb#1. 
 

I personally never believed this was the year to compete for any championship, more a transition year to get Arch and the young, but talented roster to develop around him, and to be dominant next year. After yesterday’s game and clear regression (or, maybe OU was the anomaly and this is who he really is) I’m ready for Arch to portal or not be guaranteed the starter position next year and go find a portal qb.

To add, there’s not a soul anywhere who can convince me there isn’t a qb on the roster who can’t throw it more accurately or make better decisions than Arch. If that’s the case, Sark should be fired solely based off of horrible qb talent evaluation and development (which I don’t think is the case). This is 100% Simms II (favoritism/optics) except there isn’t a proven, reliable qb on the roster who should be playing in lieu of Arch.

I think the issue is trying to sort whether Arch is going to "get it" and be viable for next year or not.

To be “viable” for next year he needs to display otherwordly talent progression these last 6-7 games. What makes you think the light will come on that fast? His OL play this year has been abhorrent, I freely admit that, and we have no dominant stud at RB, but in the few chances he’s had every game with a clean pocket, he’s had some inexcusably errant throws

No doubt. I don't think it will. But it could and playing out the season resolves most doubt. 

As opposed to benching him now permanently or sporadically followed by open competition in the spring and summer.

We have an off week coming.  Assume we lose one of the two games before the off week, assume Sark tells Cooper after Vandy game he's going to open QB position to competition during off week.  That would give Cooper and Arch plenty of time to decide if they want to stay or go. 

 

None of the above is likely to happen, except maybe losing one game.  

What should happen is hiring an OC, and others know much better than I if the OL coach needs to go or not.

What is Sark seeing in practice?  Did they play pattycake this entire summer camp, so he had no idea Arch was so inconsistent?

I see what you’re saying but I’d give up everything for Chris Simms level play right now.

Well, the million dollar question that none of us have insight to is what the rest of the QB room looks like in practice and whether they give you a better chance to win.

Do you think Caldwell, Owens, or Lacey elevates this offense to the point that winning out is possible? I personally don't, and in that sense it could be reasonable to try to have Arch play through the struggles if you see potential there on the other side. Of course, if you're serious about winning games this season, you probably do have to give someone else the ball because it truly almost cannot get worse, but I don't think we are at this point. This isn't a CFP level team, just don't have it on offense. So it seems to me the hope is Arch grows from this and can lead a better unit next season.

Beyond that,we're obviously not benhing Arch anyway just given the politics and narrative of th whole situation. Honestly I think it's likely we ride or die with him until next season, and if he still sucks by this time next year maybe you see Lacey when we're out of contention.
