  1. JFC, guys. We have so much talent and a deep roster, I'm excited to see a lot of young guys play. It sucks that we have three in a row but I still love watching blowouts. Let's get Arch going. A lot of inexperienced offensive players will get good PT over the next month. Which young WRs will step up this week? We should have a Christian Clark sighting for the first time ever in a real game. Nick Brooks should play. Secondary is going to get a lot of action with SJSU throwing the ball a ton.
  2. Maybe, but it feels like there is more disappointment than anger regarding OSU game, and that disappointment probably leads to less engagement for now. Arch's performance was pretty deflating. If Arch has similar timing/mechanics issues on Saturday, the freak out really begins. If he plays well and corrects mistakes (even against a cupcake opponent), people will feel re-energized.
  3. Milwee's salary is 700k per year. That is not chump change. There could be smaller programs interested in him that we never hear about.
  4. With how much SJSU throws the ball, Littleton might get his first pick on Saturday. Excited for this dude's future.
  5. Understandable for Luke Donald to run it back with as many guys as possible from 2023 squad.
  6. Mahomes has lazy mechanics as well, he's just so talented he can overcome it. The shit he pulls doesn't work for the other 99%.
  7. Totally agree. The decision making was fine against a smart and good defense, timing/mechanics were the clear issues.
  8. And Arch in High School...
  9. I found a clip and made a gif from 2023 Spring game.
  10. I'm convinced that I remember Peyton having that same tic with stretching out his arm/shoulder like that, but I can't find any video evidence.
  11. I've been as high on Arch as anyone on this board. Here are some true statements: 1. He looked like shit in his first Spring game. Clearly a huge jump from Newman to college ball and he looked very raw and overwhelmed. 2. He looked good in the Spring game last year. Much more confident and accurate throws. 3. He played well when Ewers went down in UTSA game. 4. He made some glaring "rookie" mistakes along with nice deep balls in UL Monroe game. 5. He played fantastic the following week vs. Mississippi State. 6. He was completely off vs. Ohio State He needs consistent reps to find consistency. Just like every other Manning. Peyton threw one of the ugliest balls we've ever seen. He had almost 30 INTs his rookie year in the NFL. Eli made a bunch of dumbuck mistakes. Arch is just now the true starting QB. I'm just as disappointed in his performance on Saturday as everyone else. But it makes more sense when you look back at people saying "How can Arch ever meet the hype?", "This is biggest opening CFB ever", and Texas being pre-season ranked #1 with Arch as the Heisman favorite. We were hoping that stuff didn't matter, but it looks like it had an effect on him. Now he can take a breath and get shit figured out. He always does that. Even in High School.
  12. Hot take culture has ruined sports conversations. External build-up and tear down. Arch played like shit on Saturday. If one throw late goes for a touchdown, we go to overtime, get a pick 6 and win the game, Ryan Clark is not spouting this bullshit. Would Arch still have played a overall poor game in that scenario? Yes. But all of this tearing down right now is mainly because we lost the game. Peyton and Eli got a ton of reps in college and each played 4 years. They both went to Newman and played 2A ball against shit competition. Arch is continuing the Manning process. Peyton and Eli are not "generational" due to their physical talents. It's what's in between the ears, and that's clearly what Arch needs to improve on at the moment, and that comes with game reps.
  13. I'm not sure. But Arch has been working David Morris since he was in 4th grade. Quinn had his own QB trainer as well. Part of the understandable frustration is do we even know what Milwee's actual responsibilities are at Texas? He's kind of an enigma, outside of Sark clearly wanting him here. I think titles are kind of meaningless. Is he actually a QB developer or does he assist more with game plans and play calling? He was OC for 5 years at Akron at a very young age.
  14. Arch has his own personal QB trainer, David Morris.
  15. 1. He wasn't touched by a defender all off season and practice 2. We called designed runs and a QB sneak 3. He was throwing fastballs all day 4. Why would they hide it after a performance like that? 5.. Arch is fully practicing and lifting weights
  16. Arch isn't injured. We've got to nip this stupid shit in the bud.
  17. Clearly Arch/Sark need real game reps to get things going.
  18. The only "good news" about Arch's performance is that he was going to lay an egg and face a lot of adversity at some point this season. Well, here we are. Probably fortunate to play three easy games this month to settle in. Plenty of time to for Sark to experiment and maximize Arch's strengths and get him comfortable.
  19. He's not injured. Bogus rumors.
  20. JFC with the enhanced images and eye droop talk. Keep your sanity.
  21. To put it simply, I don't want to see another QB sneak at the goal line again this year. Yeah, it will probably work against shit competition, but it won't when it matters. We've got a month to work on a jumbo package handoff to a RB. Figure it out.
  22. The sequencing of our schedule is fucking horrible this year and I'm still pissed off about it. At Ohio State in Week 1. Three cupcakes at home and a bye in September, not a single home game in October. Ridiculous.
  23. Arch's first play in the Colorado State, UTSA, and Ohio State games. arch first play.mp4
  24. Thanks. Figured we were doing something, I have never noticed it on a TV broadcast.
  25. I noticed a comment from Sark in post-game PC (5:20 mark) about sitting with Arch at halftime to look at the tape/coverages. My questions are this: - Is there any coach communicating with our QB during the game on the sidelines? - Are we actually waiting until halftime to discuss tape/coverages?
