Arch needs to be benched

[UT1983]

Continuing to do the same thing and expect different results is idiotic. Sark’s coaching career is on the line. He needs to prove Texas’ problem is Arch related, not his.

Starting a different QB will take some of the focus off of Sark as well. And perhaps trying something different might be the spark to help Texas get back on track.

I honestly think Arch is done at Texas. Wish he luck in his future football career, just can’t be at Texas anymore.

Have you been watching the games? Our OL is not good and Arch is constantly under pressure. There's not a QB on the planet that can put up great numbers under those conditions. Last season the OL finally gelled and Arch looked great. This new OL hasn't gelled yet, and it shows. They can't pick up a blitz if their life depended on it, and every opposing defensive coordinator knows it.

I heard an analyst's comment during a different game that this NIL/transfer era has resulted in poor OL play because the players don't have time to develop as a unit. Makes sense. Also reinforces how important high school recruiting and player development is for OL players. The challenge is keeping them around to develop rather than transfer for a payday.

Arch holds the ball too long which exasperates the OL problem. Why not try another QB that may be able to think quicker on their feet?

If you don’t bench Arch with his flaws, how can you bench any other player with theirs?

Every QB will try to extend plays when the reads aren't there. Is that holding the ball too long? Mahomes and other skilled QBs do it routinely. A difference with Arch and this OL is that when that happens, the pocket has usually collapsed and there's no where to go to buy time. Or there's a free rusher who never got touched. With even an average OL, Arch will excel again.
