Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (I owe someone an apology...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Arch may win us a Natty this year if given the chance. He’s got quick feet to improvise and a better deep touch. He still has things to learn but he can make things happen when it gets off schedule. We may never have this combo again - great D, great O line and great WRs. It is soooo rare. I fear that’ll we’ll come up short with Q. We could do it with Q but it feels a bit more likely with Arch.
Easy brother. Don't get out over your skis. There is more to playing QB than throwing bombs and running fast. If you don't think Arch will have a learning curve you are sadly mistaken. Let's consider the competition he has played before you bring out the annoiting oil.
Not a crazy take but there are so many other aspects that you don't see on T. V. to playing QB that Q does that it will take Arch more time to master.. Q had a slightly off game. People need to relax.
Great post, you nailed it here . Some people are annointing manning as being a better starter for this year than Quinn way too fast
Ewers processes the field way better , arch will eventually be better with experience
Arch has not faced a legit defense yet
This has literally become something that people just say.as a default statement.
It is a crazy take. How does Arch compare to Quinn in RPOs? That is a staple of Sark's offense. If Sark is who we think he is then having a great Oline, Defense and QB should not be that rare.
If it is that rare why would Sark waste this opportunity by playing the worse player?
The dynamics in the quarterback room are unique to any program in the country.
How do you think Arch compares to Quinn in RPOs?
Arch is not nearly as good at the RPO game as Quinn. It takes time to get those down he might be later, but not today
Based on watch the games. In the first game I do not think they actually ran any RPOs. Then in the second start most of his RPOs looked to be called from the sideline and not actual reads. Go back and watch. Again this not surprising since he has two starts. It took Quinn time to master them as well.
It would be interesting to know how the coaches quantify the edges that each other bring to the equation.
For instance, does the value that you just described weigh more in terms of importance that an actually being a legit RPO threat in the RPO game, which Arch clearly gives the offense when he's in the game.
Arch actually leads all rushers in YPC for those that have more than 2 carries and that includes sack numbers.
It’s not a default statement , Ewers can hit intermediate and short throws a lot better.
What makes you think arch could process the game as fast or better than Quinn? He has only faced weak defenses
The "R" is not for the QB to run. Would he be better in zone read, yes absolutely. But the RPO is about do I give this to the running back or do i throw to the WR. It takes quick processing and tons of reps. I think Arch will get there, but Quinn is great at that now.
Right...
and I'm saying it would be interesting to hear the coaches discuss all of the various values that a quarterback can have and quantify them into a preference order.
The R in the RPO isn't for the quarterback to run because primarily that isn't in Quinn's bag, but it could be in a world where he isn't the quarterback.
S. Carolina wins that game on the back of their defense. S. Carolina D is pretty salty and will live in the aggy backfield.
what good did it do to process a throw to an open deep pass player that you can't consistently hit?
So you process the read correctly but fail to execute because of bad mechanics. For a 4th year player that has always had designs on playing at the next level, Quinn's poor footwork default are nearly inexcusable at this point.
exactly! from my NSFW football thread (my thread isn't NSFW) but the website is!!!!
