I guess the point I was trying to make is that, while Quinn has been nowhere near a bust, he hasn't quite lived to up to the expectations everyone had of him. I don't know how anyone could look at the way he moves in the pocket and not think he's just a little head fucked right now. He's clearly been good enough to win us (almost) every game the last 2 seasons which I'm not ignoring and has looked unquestionably elite at times ie Bama and OkSt last year.
I just don't think the QE in the current moment gives us the best chance to win the next 4-5 games with the limitations he has. Most things he does well (RPO, single read, short passing game) are things that most D1 QBs do well and things that Arch is absolutely capable of doing and Arch gives you so much more in the run game and hopefully down the field. You know Sark is asking him to do more when he's forcing a shit-ton of balls that he wasn't forcing earlier in the season. There's a huge amount of pressure on him, they made a fucking Dr Pepper commercial about his backup breathing down his neck, and Sark already started working Arch in arguably the most important game of the season which is honestly surprising. Best case scenario IMO, Quinn and Arch split time getting limited roles doing what they do best which limits the QE gaffes, gives opponents more to prep for, Sark gets to keep his QB track record and give Arch dev time and hype going into next season
ESPN has us #1 in FPI with 23% chance to win the whole thing in the first year in the SEC with a good schedule and stacked roster. It's a MASSIVE opportunity for the optics of the program and the stars don't align like this every year. I just hope we do play the best QB and aren't married to the idea of this being "Quinn's team"
