  1. A few thoughts about the current state of affairs: 1. Milwee is the most hated person on Surly right now. But Arch has his own QB coach, David Morris. It would be interesting to hear about the dynamic between Morris and the coaching staff on the current Arch situation. Like any conflict, I'm sure both sides are blaming each other. But at the end of the day, I'm not sure how much Milwee is influencing Arch's mechanics, feet, alignment, etc. In the attached article there is a refence to arm angles being captured by drones. Have they loaded Arch's brain with so many concepts his head has exploded? If you are taking drone footage of arm angles, I would say "Yes". As an erratic golfer, I can attest to the damage that can be done by juggling too much information on mechanics. https://www.redbull.com/us-en/arch-mannings-offseason-training#:~:text=with David Morris-,© Justen Williams,Arch and the Texas Longhorns. 2. I am less worried about Guilbeau than others. He plays a tough position and always has to chase guys around. He's going to get beat. Hopefully not a lot. He's talented. 3. I've been unhappy with Sark's offense from a total continuity level since the day he stepped on campus. He mixes in occasional brilliant play calling with a stubborness and lack of creativity that bogs down the offense. However, I do believe he purposely went plain vanilla running attack Saturday because he wants his team to run the ball more effectively and wanted them to practice it. So maybe the offense will look better in 2 weeks. This week will be all about giving Arch enough dynamic plays to get everyone off his back. Then they will run some more.
  2. I must not be an nfl quarterback because I have the yips. I don’t bench press.
  3. In amongst this Wild Speculation Thread was this important post above. I never would have guessed that Arch is under more pressure than any other SEC QB. Just anecdotally, it seemed like he’s had plenty of time to throw quite a bit. We all know the OL is shaky, but this stat shows it’s way more shaky than I realized. Arch has missed guys badly with plenty of time to throw, but maybe the poor OL play is making him look worse than he is.
  4. Earlier this year I developed the yips in putting. I think I posted about it at the time in the golf thread. It was terrifying. I had no muscle control over the putter at times. One round I five putted three greens. He doesn’t have the yips. He’d look even worse than he does.
  5. I had a decent arm growing up. And my accuracy wasn’t too bad either. As soon as I played a live game I was often drilling the ball into the ground. Little did I know at that time I had an arm like Arch Manning.
  6. If you want to feel a little better, part of the reason Texas ran the ball so much yesterday was not just Arch issues, but also because they know the running offense is struggling. So now you can feel slightly better about Arch and much worse about the state of the running game.
  7. I disagree 100%. What if Sark outfitted the WR group with little people? And instead of having them run routes, just told them to go lay down on the turf somewhere. Manning’s pass completion percentage would soar.
  8. Watching the speed, execution, innovativeness, scheme, and effort by Georgia, Tennessee, A&M, and Notre Dame today makes me wonder what the fuck Sark has been doing for the last several games.
  9. At least today they found an RB.
  10. He’s back! Heisman!
  11. That’s what’s really confounding.
  12. There was a moment in last week’s game when Caldwell entered the game and he looked comfortable and competent. And the offense looked normal. I brushed it off. He’s basically a glorified walk-on. But that stuck with me and had me wondering about Manning. Now I’m really wondering.
  13. Texas went to the semifinals twice in a row. It seems ludicrous to think right now that Sark may be fundamentally flawed somehow. But….is he?
  14. This is unbelievable. This could start heading down a very bad path. This isn’t good for Arch or for Sark’s reputation.
  15. Injuries to so many other backs have given him a third chance. Hopefully he takes advantage of it.
