Didn't expect this but Nico just had a way better win and performance than anything that Arch has ever done. Arch Manning really is the biggest QB bust in recent memory.

Well Nico did beat a power 4 team.

So there's that.

I blame the guy responsible for recruiting and developing him.
I still say arch would be fine in a different system with real qb development.
I like the kid and I’m hoping he transfers and gets some actual coaching to save his career after this season. He’s never going to get it here.

Yeah he looked better last year. They might be over coaching him. Just looks like he's stuck in his own head or something right now.

I’m not sure tom brady would be successful in sark’s “system”
All one needs to do is look at sark’s record vs ranked teams in his career to see who he really is.
It’s a fact that even the most staunch supporters of sark will eventually have to come to terms with.

I never said he wasn’t bad. I’m simply saying that at some point you blame the person is responsible for teaching him.
Sark put all his eggs in the manning basket and that’s 100% on him. He’s clearly not capable of developing him into a successful quarterback.

I still say arch would be a lot better in another system, but we’re probably never going to get to see if that’s true or not so we’re all just speculating at this point.

If things don't change, Arch will move on at season's end. He can't just sit under Sark and rot away. No matter how amicable and professional they try to make it - it will be viewed as a fail on someone's part, which it should be.

I want to see Arch under a different system, with more importantly, different leadership. I'm curious at this point.

Nothing below is Arch's fault:

* Texas showed up completely unprepared and unready to play yesterday
* If Texas had a game plan, what was it?
* Texas is a very soft arse team this year, just out there playing bumper cars
* Florida averaged how much per carry? (7-8 yards?)
* Texas has no discipline in the trenches, refs are having a field day
* Texas running game is 100% out to lunch. No, I mean literally non-existent
* Blocked punt for a safety

Sadly, fanboys can only see one position on a football team, especially if he's named Manning.

But Texas has trouble, and it's called Steve Sarkisian.

I'm sure you do. I would, too.

But you're stuck with him, with your 'generational talent'.

Good luck.

Oh, and welcome to the SEC

Facts. How many times did we say the same about Quinn?
Sark’s career as a head coach speaks for itself. A very average head coach.

Give that stupid shite a rest. You had all last season to welcome us to the SEC and outside of Georgia. No one could, so spare me the drama. Why didn’t you beat us last season?

Our problem has nothing to do with the conference and everything to do with the man in charge

2 things that really surprised me about Arch. He has below average accuracy and below average arm strength. That’s Innate. I don’t know how he can be a Good QB with those 2 qualities.

But they had to eat it and it frustrated the heck out of 'em. So now we get to hear it in retro.

It is going to be hard for Arch to improve much if his OL doesn’t improve a bunch
