Caldwell would likely have given us a better shot at beating Ohio State versus the Arch we got. I think the crazy drills he worked on over the summer at that Alabama camp completely fucked his throwing mechanics coming into the season. It took a few games for everything to sync up with him again. There was really no way to expect that he was going to be that bad early on, but Arch improving under life fire was always going to be part of the process this season and beyond. Apparently, some people on this site can only see the world in black and white. Suggesting that if Arch continues to struggle with basic football mechanics that we might should play Caldwell is seen as a declaration that we must play Caldwell as opposed to the conditional statement that it is. The Arch we saw against Florida and OU is so much better than the Arch we got against Ohio State and UTEP.
I'm very much glad he has apparently got over his early season yips. Now we need him to start processing the field much more quickly, which he is already starting to do. We need to keep giving him chances to execute the more complex plays for his development while building game plans that overall protect his limitations from over exposure. It would be helpful in that regard if we could get our screen game working. Right now, we either miss blocks, or Arch throws a pass that takes away all momentum from the receiver. If we get that cleaned up, we'll be in a good position to have success the rest of the season as Arch's game continues to develop.
