Oh okay thanks for the info.

It can be hard to identify at times exactly what position certain guys are playing at on defense for us because of the defense we run and amount of rotating we do :lol:

Nate is back boys! He will be starting at RB today and is expected to be on a moderate snap/carry count

KJ has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful. He will not be in today’s game.

I wonder who we plug into that spot for the most snaps. My guess is either Kyron Jones or Zion Branch

Stafford can’t play forever. I wouldn’t be shocked if he retired after this season. Stets time is coming imo and he will get his shot to be the Rams starter when Matt finally shuffles away.

I think the rams like him a lot and think he can play well in their offense under the guidance of McVay. People underestimate his arm strength to an insane degree, and while it’s probably not quite to the degree Staffords is, it is very close and Stafford has been one of the biggest arms in the NFL since he entered it. Stet also brings the mobility option, and they have invested quite a lot into him as a backup Qb that you wouldn’t think they would do unless they really liked him.

He will be given the reigns post Stafford imho and I hope he takes the opportunity and makes the most of it

Idk why a tech fan even cares

They will never make a 24 team playoff

Oh and 10 in a row, bitch

He has shown flashes of being very talented but dude has 4 ACL tears.

Need to just eat the truth it was a horrible pick and try and draft a new franchise QB

100%

He is, imo, the ultimate living embodiment of UGAs culture and the type of players they’re looking to bring in.

It’s also not like he was some scrub recruit coming out of HS like some people talk about him making it sound like he was. If I am remembering rightly he broke Trevor Lawerence’s hs passing TDs record in Georgia.

He is also a guy who has done something that seems to be extremely rare around the country these days. Show immense growth in his game every new season he gets more experience.

In the game he had to come in against Texas he wasn’t very good but used his natural talent to will us to the win and an SEC championship. Then against ND they absolutely lit him up with blitz after blitz after blitz’s and the game was still too fast for him at the point imo. He played admirably and as well as could be expected but just wasn’t ready to meet the moment.

Last season he was a very clearly improved QB over the one the year prior and was actually OUTSTANDING when throwing against the blitz. Showed he can be very clutch in games against Tennessee and Ole Miss where the offense had to go score for score with them until the 4th. In the playoffs he played well until it seemed like we totally shut the offense down with a lead which is never a good idea just like playing prevent defense is rarely a good idea and we lost in a classic. His biggest flaw last year was his ability to layer the ball in intermediate throws over Lbs or safety’s playing robber or in cover 2.

This season he has been, without exaggeration, the best QB in the country, and while having an extremely talented cast around him outside of Lucky, London, and the RB he was working with very very talented other skill guys but ones with minimal to no experience in SEC play yet. Thanks to his play it’s my opinion he has elevated everyone else in the offense allowing for guys like Taylor, Dandridge, Reddel, and others to emerge as legitimate weapons while getting their feet under them early.

What is most impressive is where I said he was bad last year he has totally flipped the script and become EXCELLENT at layered throws into intermediate passes in all areas of the field. The middle of the field or the seam, WR running deep outs or corners, he is delivering the ball with the perfect amount of touch to get it over the defense and into his guys hands.

Finally he is clearly in complete and total control of this offense and his years of experience in the system is paying off bigly. You can see him on nearly every play identifying the defense pre snap, changing or sliding the protection, and since he is so good at indentifying what the defense is running pre snap he almost always know where is going to be going with the ball before it is even snapped. Examples of this last game are Reddels big play up the seam, and Londons TD up the seam when we were running 4 verts and he identified bama was playing cover 3 and Humphries route would be the one in the vacated zone before the snap even comes. Even when he needs to go through his progressions he processes wayyyyy faster than his contemporaries like Arch.

The pass to ice the game where we came out in 13 personal (which is just an insanely awesome thing to do Bobo) Williams is actually his 3rd read on the play. With the 1st read running a 5 yard dig and the second read being the other TE running a 10 yard option route behind the dig. Williams running a deep corner course is the final read in the progression and gunner gets to him and makes the decision before Williams has even reached the top of his route.

He is so good

Nearly every single one his passes idiot, and I’m not a “coach” nor am I particularly overly well versed in these types of things

But I know the basics and a bit more beyond that. It’s very easy to diagnose what the issues with arch’s mechanics are, and it just so happens Stocktons play against Alabama demonstrates how footwork should look like as a QB when throwing so it was an easy example.

You sound a bit upset your team were hailed as world beaters with the next Lamar Jackson at QB until he faced a real defense then went full Mateer and played an absolutely horrible game proving him nor State are ready for prime time.

Haven’t gone back and watched that absurdly putrid performance by him against bama but if I do I assume I would see glaringly obvious mechanical breakdowns by Taylor in that game too.

Imo Sark isnt running an offense that is conducive to getting the most out of Arch and playing to his strengths. The side arm stuff is bad but mechanically by far his worst issue imo is his feet. When a QB throws the ball he should have his feet firmly planted on the ground, not on the balls of his feet, not drifting back, etc, and facing in the direction of where he is about to deliver the ball. This is how QBs get accuracy, whereas arm strength comes from a different part of your throwing mechanics.

One of the best examples ive seen of how this is done correctly recently is last weekend Gunner against Alabama. If you go back and watch all 22 passes he threw, nearly ever single one his feet are absolutely perfectly placed for how QBs are taught to play the position and for delivering the ball with total accuracy. It is why he threw some incredible dimes into some insanely tight windows.

But again why isnt Sark designing his offense to play to Archs strengths as a player, and his offensive roster as a whole. Where are the designed QB runs. They should be doing 8-10 of these a game especially since theyre struggling so bad running the ball traditionally.

Why are there SO MANY extremely long developing plays that are usually not blocked well enough to give him the time he needs for these kind of routes to get to where they can break open so he always gets destroyed if he gets the ball out with bad mechanics because he is panicking, or he just gets sacked.

Coleman and Wingo are incredibly talented players. Where is the quick and intermediate stuff with those guys to give Arch easy throws to guys who are more than likely always going to beat their defender on things like slants, hooks, mesh, deep outs.

Everything is attempting to push the ball deep down the field, and while Arch throws an incredible deep ball at times, their offense would be a lot better if they did the 2 things I described above way more, Arch would improve his confidence, and its easier to maintain your mechanics on quicker developing passing concepts where you might have an alert receiver on one side of the field, then Coleman on the other as the far wideout and Wingo beside him in the slot where the progession is just 1, Colemen 2. Wingo instead of designing plays with 4 guys in the progression + a hot route and a check down with someone running idk a flare or whatever the frick out of the RB spot or as a TE

CFB isnt something that can easily be taken down in a fairly quick amount of time relatively speaking like Bud Light and Cracker Barrel was.

They are going to be dismantled over a much longer period of time through the slowly bleeding out from their terrible decisions and the slow erosion over time of the support/money first of the type of people who are most likely to post on places like this, the biggest fans who are most invested. Then that slowly but surely matriculates outward and down to every subset of fans until it will eventually reach what will be the kill shot, normies tuning out.

He wont transfer unless he is basically made to transfer because I do not think he will declare for the NFL draft this year, nor should he. He is no where near ready to be an NFL QB, and these days teams have little patience for QBs taken high in the draft that fricking suck.

Just look at Cam Ward. He is absolutely fricking terrible in the NFL but has only played like 20 games total. There are already many many people who either are titans fans and want him gone so after they likely go 0-17 can try again at drafting a QB or commentators/talking heads who think he will be traded. Im not defending Cam Ward he has been absolutely fricking dreadful since day 1, but he shares a lot of the problems Manning is displaying at Texas. He cannot get through his progressions fast enough, and his mechanics are atrocious when made to play inside the pocket. I wouldnt say Mannings mechanics are atrocious but theyre very very inconsistent and at times look horrible.

He should 100% come back for another year of college, but Sark is going to need to be a lot less stubborn and change his offense to fit the people he has and put Manning in the best position to succeed. If he wont do that I dont see him getting much more development out of Arch even with another year so that is the only situation I think a transfer would make sense but only to somewhere youre absolutely positive the staff will ensure you are as ready as you possibly can be for the NFL
