The last Arch pick was horrifically bad, he just panicked. Literally just chuck that out of bounds or take the sack and the games going to OT

Arch was awful but so was Sark. 4th and 2 to 100% win the game and you try a 53 yarder??? 2 yards and the game is over. Cowardly.

I'm one of the few I think who thinks Arch is/has the makings to truly be one of the higher end QBs. Plus, obviously with his family ties he has everything he needs.

His biggest problem seems to be just doing some stupid shit and letting himself go mentally. He's got to learn to just keep his shit together in the big moments like this

Just does bone-headed things. Not on a scale that leads you to believe he'll be bad in the NFL but he does them frequently enough where it definitely makes you go "he's kind of mid"

I simply don’t understand this level of delusion that makes people watch this man and think he’ll be a good NFL QB. Yes, to the level of he’ll bad in the NFL.

theres really only like hurts, herbert, and nix who had as much negative hype and turned out to be ok starters. shough to some extent, most people expected him to get injured before ever doing anything tbh. if the scouts see he has the tools and if arch aint gonna to stay another year or transfer, do you bet you can turn what he has into something. theres a lot of guys who can go top 10 but its seems kinda ho hum class overall.

Every one of those guys had special qualities one way or another that Arch hasn’t exhibited in the least. And every one of them had college seasons in a totally different stratosphere than Arch has exhibited so far. 

I don’t get it at all. Acting like he deserves a college comparison to those guys is crazy!! Why are we doing this!

I mean, I don't think it's delusional to say he has the tools to do it. Because if you argue against that you're just straight wrong lol.

But I agree he has to put it all together in order to stand out in the NFL. That's something that the other members of the "bloodline" were able to do. Arch has shown on several occasions that he has the tools but as with many good college players will that translate? It's yet to be seen. And then you watch a game like today and see how ugly that was and it kind of does make even the most positive of supporters like myself go "yeah he might not pan out"

But as of right now the biggest issue with Arch is between his ears and he can't seem to get out of his own way. Which when it consistently appears to be a problem... Is concerning

What tools? What special tools does he have? The NFL is fucking hard, my man.

Your dad and uncle being really good doesn't help you make a play either

His arm is an absolute howitzer and legitimately one of the strongest I have seen. Not strongest in the sense of throwing the ball far; strongest in terms of fitting the ball into windows that others can't.

Which might actually hurt him as it enables bad habits he can get away with mentally in college he won't in the NFL.
