Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Sark Might Just Be Mack 2.0)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
They both need to play better. One way more so than the other.
I agree with that, but not because Worthy played well. It’s because the QB is more important. Worthy played really poorly this year. A lot of the blame that went to Ewers was squarely on Worthy. If he played up to his freshman season, Ewers season would have been much better and lots of this conversation would be different.
The hardest thing to do at the highest levels of football as a receiver is to get open.
Worthy gets open ALL the time.
He hasn't had quarterbacks that consistently get him the ball. It's as simple as that.
He is getting that much plus his housing school and food. Plus he is in Texas so it saves on taxes from other states. He has a shot to go from a 5th -7th rd pick to a 2nd-4th rd pick that is a lot of money he can earn himself. The only down part is the school part but he is earning a degree from Texas also.
Agree with first point, but he dropped key passes this year that lost us games.
Also agree he hasn’t gotten the ball consistently and that likely led to his frustration last year (toyed with portal) and this year. But he needs to look inwards. He was not a leader this year. He was part of the problem.
I’ll say it again - because it is fact - he wouldn’t put in the extra work and refused to throw extra after practice when asked. Think about that for a second. You have somehow continued to gloss over that.
He needs to be better. Period. By whatever means are needed to get there. Working through his frustrations with Ewers, included.
100%…and there’s no way Sark is gonna risk losing Arch to the portal by keeping Ewers one more year in 2024…
If there was "lots" of inaccurate info in there, you wouldn't have corrected one, trivial thing.
It was reported in real time that Ewers was reclassifying in order to get the clock started. It was also reported in real time that his family wasn't rich & needed/wanted the money. No matter how you slice it, he's between a rock & a hard place. I'd go so far as to say there's a significantly greater likelihood Manning is the QB in 2023 than Ewers is the QB in 2024.
I corrected the NFL and your assumption that Arch is the hands down starter in ‘24. And “reported” by who? It was inaccurate of so.If there was "lots" of inaccurate info in there, you wouldn't have corrected one, trivial thing.

There is a very low chance (10% or less) that Arch is named the starter going into ‘23. another swing and a miss.
We'll see won't we...as more shall be revealed in the next two years as to whether or not he's evolving as a coach.
Great quarterback play is the tide that lifts all boats.
Every person I have spoken to in the program has said they believe Arch will be the starter in 2024.
I wrote a column about it.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (What does Arch in 2024 mean for 2023?)
Once upon a time ... say four months ago ... there was a plan with Arch Manning. It went a little something like this: a. Quinn Ewers would emerge as one of the best young quarterbacks in college football in his first season as a starter in 2022. b. While Ewers was putting the finishing...

Naaah. Too premature. Let's see how '23 shakes outIf there was "lots" of inaccurate info in there, you wouldn't have corrected one, trivial thing.
It was reported in real time that Ewers was reclassifying in order to get the clock started. It was also reported in real time that his family wasn't rich & needed/wanted the money. No matter how you slice it, he's between a rock & a hard place. I'd go so far as to say there's a significantly greater likelihood Manning is the QB in 2023 than Ewers is the QB in 2024.
By the same token, you have to give him the responsibility for the failures at the position in his first two seasons.
While it’s a low chance that Arch starts in 2023, it’s even lower that Ewers starts in 2024…Sark isn’t gonna risk losing Arch…his career at TX depends on him…
It's one of the rubs that makes this upcoming season soooooo interesting.
No. 7 - It's just icky, man ...
@Ketchum I’m going to say this . This situation is lame compared to all the “Rapes”at Baylor and nothing happened to those players or to that school. Unless the Beards woman is lying now, I see no issue here. Until Baylor is fully punished, I see no reason why Texas needs to commit suicide. Please keep in mind Baylor is the church school, not Texas - no saints here

I assume you have a connection to the Ewers. That's disappointing to hear about Worthy, but he definitely projected a "my **** don't stink" attitude all season long, which was the opposite of how I perceived him in 2021. Here's to hoping he changes that in 2023. He's going to be a lower draft pick (and lose a lot of money) if teams get wind of him being self-interested or a diva.
Spoken like someone that has had some good sex with it playing in the background.
I don't know how to respond to these two false equivalences
I think his frustration just bubbled over. He's a young dude. That's part of what he needs to learn in college.
You have a massive Ewers truther on your hands with Jshorn. He is a fan.
In my opinion it’s a timing and reps issues they solve next year. All this hand wringing over QE is stupid. Kid is a player and will improve if he works hard at it. That will include lots of extra time with his WRs. Nothing new there. X just needs to stay and work on getting better. They are both young players.
He needs to work harder at his craft than he ever has before. It's as simple as that. The physical tools are there. Arch Manning lives and breathes the playbook and the chalkboard. The task for Ewers is going from below average in that category to on the level of Arch.
It'll either make him a man of steel or it could break him.
I think he's got NFL ability and will eventually figure it out.
None of that makes it correct.Every person I have spoken to in the program has said they believe Arch will be the starter in 2024.
