the people who think that we should bench arch so that we can possibly win more games right now a)donāt seem to be picking up on how sark operates, b)making a wild assumption that any of our backups would be more effective, and c)are not realizing what it would mean to bench arch.
sark isnāt out here like, āoh shit i need to win right now, my seat is hot, better bench (see: alienate and send to the portal) the one guy iāve built this entire program around!ā. benching arch would mean that sark is admitting complete failure when it comes to his ability to coach up āthe greatest qb prospect everā, and thatās not how sark (or any coach) works.
arch is *the* focal point for this organization (as it were). the entire plan revolves around arch being the guy, and iām sorry, but you donāt know shit shout coaches if you think theyāre likely to just give up on ātheir guyā after seven games because itās not going well. and to do so in this case would be blowing up the whole thing and starting from scratch. you think sark wants to give up on arch for the rest of this year and go into next year with more uncertainty than ever? stop thinking that this is about winning games today and start realizing that this is about sark seeing his plan to fruition, a plan which squarely revolves around arch manning.
