I can understand that thinking, and if we were just talking about the first GA game, I might agree with you, but… Looking at 2024 and the opportunity the team had had last year, we had 3 games against elite defenses where these truths were made blatantly obvious:
Our oline was not effective against elite defensive fronts
Against elite defensive fronts, our running game became largely nonexistent
Against elite defenses, the responsibility to manufacture offense would fall on the QB who would be operating under duress
Ewers was not very adept operating under duress and being the sole source of offense and would not be able to pull out victories under these conditions
3 games, 3 manifestations of the exact same problems, 3 opportunities to try a different QB who might have better success under those conditions, 3 choices to ride and ultimately die with Ewers, 1 missed opportunity to do everything you possibly could to try to bring a championship home.
What’s the definition of insanity? I mean, I’m a Sark fan. He is undoubtedly a good coach building a powerhouse here and I’m happy we have him. It doesn’t mean he shits golden nuggets and farts rainbows and never makes mistakes. Hindsight is 20/20, which is why you have retrospectives in attempt to be better the next time. Here’s to Sark being less hand wavy than fans about his shortcomings in 2024.
