My first posting; Arch is no Manning

Featured Replies

After 3 games; I am angry to see this gifted QB, play so poorly. It is such a waste of talent and the talent around him. If he can't be self motivated than he is a bust.

Yep I agree it’s his third year on campus this is big boy college football it’s time to pull your Huggies up off your ankles and play football. 

The pride and winning tradition of the University of Texas will not be entrusted to the weak nor the timid. That means you, Arch.

It's pretty shocking to see him lose all confidence/belief so quickly 

It's a dramatic swag/confidence change from when he had extended action in 2024. 

He's got the most pressure on him of any college athlete I have seen, but still shocking to see what we all witnessed vs. UTEP.

It isn’t just Arch. Remember when Quinn first started at Texas? There were all the reports about how he bonded with his teammates, had ice water in his veins. The bama game in 2023, he told his teammates on the sidelines before the winning drive to trust him and that he was going to win it. Quinn badly regressed by 2024 and it was clear that his confidence never recovered. He was a deer in the headlights anytime he felt the slightest pressure. What I want to know is why these QBs are regressing so badly under Sark and why he can’t seem to keep up their confidence. Because, again, this hasn’t just happened to Arch.

I liked AI way better when it was giving us cool pictures of whales instead of takes on college football. Take a lap, Siri. I got it from here

Only thing I will say is this ... what I saw Saturday was just way worse than anything I've seen from a Texas QB. And it sucks to say it. Saturday was a total collapse/breakdown of confidence. The types of misses on throws (especially the last one in the flat to C. Clark) were very concerning for me. That is just so far off from quality QB play, let alone confident QB play. Rough to watch.

I hope Arch comes back and has a terrific game against SHSU ... but man it's going to be a true internal battle won to get it back quickly at this point IMO. Hope he proves me wrong.

What was weird about the 0-10 stretch is that he looked pretty good up until then. Think he was 4of5 and it looked pretty good. When they went for it on 4th down and missed open Wingo the drought was on. Imagined pocket pressure too IMO
