Arch is gonna be fine. He won't be playing Ohio State's D again, any time before a potential playoff match.

he's got shit to clean up, as do most in week 1. needs to slow it down a bit, clean up the footwork and mechanics a bit, but I agree 100%. the talent is there anyone with eye balls can see it- and he's shown enough flashes. doubt he'll have another performance that poor again, look for him to bounce back in a big way next week vs San Jose State in a get right game.

take this throw for example...guy is wide open....might score a TD if Arch steps up into the throw and delivers it on target. And he had the TE wide open on the backside for a TD if he even looks- but doesn't.

He was pretty terrible.  So many self-inflicted poor throws that had nothing to do with pressure or the defense.


But upon rewatching the "every pass attempt" and some other highlights (lowlights), it looks to me like he has a shoulder injury.  Zero zip on the ball and many times using that strange sidearm delivery.

My i s c & a aggie wife who is an extremely accomplished Physical Therapist watched some of the lowlights with me today and without any prompting just said, "Did they talk about his shoulder injury at all?"  And I said, "What?  No.  Nobody mentioned a shoulder injury."  And she said, "He's not throwing overhand.  That looks to me like he's either consciously or subconsciously protecting an injured shoulder, like the rotator cuff or labrum."

That would at least explain some of why he threw so many ducks that looked nothing like anything he's done before.

He had no pressure, yet he was Checkdown Charlie all game. 

SEC DLs are gonna get after him.

TE ,He clearly couldn't see him & would be looking back across with the whole gaggle of O & D lineman in the way.Now on a called timing - misdirection pattern perhaps.Lots of if ands or buts in real time and they had one more shot and didn't convert.Sayin missed and open Smith and dumped it off to the TE who would muff it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.Now Smith had  two drops - i saw the one but I'd take the chance he goes yard is sayin saw him.But Arch had a bad day overall.

Yup.  He does it often.  It's a real problem.

yeah he's got to be hurt, because the way he was throwing the ball all side arm and limp wristed and not stepping up into the throw and climbing mostly clean pockets and just ripping it over head really left my head scratching....

there was a lot of this type of throws...

If he has an injured shoulder then he kept it from his coaches cause no way Sark lets him play with a major injury

Hope yor wife is right though cause a hurt shoulder can be fixed most of the time

Fearless is in a perpetual state of drunkenness.  It's why he's such an ornery contrarian pot stirrer.
