Arch lost Texas this game at the end and essentially gave them their first loss of the year. I was pretty high on him to start the year despite what most people said, but these last two games he’s been pretty bad.

People need to start asking why two 5 star QBs back to back have regressed under Sark despite infinite talent around them

Hey that's Atlanta Falcons legend Steve Sarkisian you're talking about

I’m having traumatic superbowl flashbacks now thanks

Sark wasn't the OC that year, that was Shanahan. He was OC in the playoff lost to the Eagles the year after.

Arch should have never been the highest ranked recruit ever. His high school comp was PATHETIC

u/lowes18 Florida State Seminoles • FAU Owls 7d ago

Most high school comps are pathetic. Its why QB development sucks now.

Well alot of the schools that have 5 stars play national schedules or are matched with better comp. Think IMG, Desoto TX, Duncanville TX, etc

Arch was especially bad

u/lowes18 Florida State Seminoles • FAU Owls 7d ago

Arch was bad but most 5* play with a shit ton of talent around them which makes it mostly a moo point.

The middle class of high school talent is dead and that's really hurting QB development.

Joey, what is a moo point?

He played for like the 7th best HS team in Orleans Parish

Maybe because 5 star rankings on QBs are hit or miss and that Manning is only starting because of his last name and huge NIL package (like Bryce at Michigan).

25

u/lowes18 Florida State Seminoles • FAU Owls 7d ago

Manning was a great QB at the end of last year and has all the tools in the world.

This is all on Texas's coaching staff.

He completed like 47% of his passes against A&M in last regular season game..

Arch played today the same way he always does, when the defensive talent is good he'll give the other team the opportunity to get the ball a few times. He'll hit some skinny posts and wide open wheels with impressive throws while also trying a couple times a game to give the ball away. Only difference is when the defense is good enough to make those plays or not. My man's not horrible but he's absolutely never shown first round guy or heisman guy stuff on the field consistently, thats always been a result of last name.

Poor OL play is certainly part of it. We’ve sucked at running it for years

1

u/gmr548 Texas Longhorns • Washington Huskies 7d ago

We ran the ball fairly well today, Sark just called an atrocious game.

u/Kalen72 Indiana Hoosiers • College Football Playoff 7d ago

Maybe he could go to Indiana for improvement?

u/MrMegiddo Texas Longhorns • TCU Horned Frogs 7d ago

Regressed how? Quinn Ewers led the team to back to back playoff semi finals. Arch was one game away from making the playoffs last year and has lost a grand total of 4 games as a starter.

2

u/Sir_Bryan Ohio State Buckeyes 7d ago

Arch should have never been a 5 star QB

22

u/lowes18 Florida State Seminoles • FAU Owls 7d ago

He's a 6'4 dual threat QB with a cannon for an arm. That's a 5 stat almost every cycle.

u/Kdot32 Houston Cougars • LSU Tigers 7d ago

They could be overrated

u/RobbedC Notre Dame Fighting Irish 7d ago

Ewers injuries added up. He just didn’t have it physically by the end. Arch has always been ass. Most overhyped recruit of all time.

u/imbroke828 Texas Longhorns • USC Trojans 6d ago

Quinn was actually great in HS against great comp and then face a litany of ghosts and injuries. Arch piggybacked the name on his jersey. Dude was barreling over midgets and future accountants.

Pro tip: pick up a Lane Kiffin reject
