The reason to give Arch more playing time isn't to beat Georgia, it's to beat Oregon. We can stumble along and pray that Quinn doesn't hit a wall, but if/when that happens, we're gonna need someone far more prepared than Garrett Gilbert was when Colt McCoy got injured. Does anyone remember how absolutely painful that was to see an amazing defense stop Alabama time and again only to see Gilbert stink up the field on offense. It wasn't his fault, it was Mack's. It wasn't Colt's fault, he was injured.
The same thing is at play with Quinn. He's injured, and that injury (injuries) seem to have hobbled every aspect of his game, especially the ability to tuck it up (or should I say the desire to tuck it up) and run. Has anyone mentioned when he tiptoed down the right sideline and then sort of gave up on the run... because not only had he made first down yardage, he had an open field ahead of him... but I'm pretty sure you can see him let up and lean right only to realize a millisecond later he could be in the end zone in five seconds. But too late, his momentum with that step carried him out of bounds. That's fucking mental. It isn't his fault, he's injured.
I don't want to see another game like that loss to Alabama... or last year's Washington game. We shoulda won that game. We've got a team capable of winning it all, just not with an injury prone, injured Quinn. To battle for an entire season and to get all the way there, only to lay a turd. Fuck that. Sark needs to work Arch into the offense beginning Saturday.
