The SEC Forum at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

He certainly isn't perfect. He's still over-throwing, as you pointed out, particularly early in the game (it'd happen all game long throughout the first 3 games).
He's still taking time to move through his progressions. Much like a new driver has to see everything and consider it (whereas an experienced driver sees everything internally but dismisses most of it as irrelevant), it's only experience that teaches.

A defense that hurries his decision making (or denies it altogether) plays into his inexperience. When allowed to get into rhythm, he'll find and throw the right route.

I mean this is his third year in the system.  He had two years under a veteran to learn the offense.  He had over 2 full games of starting snaps last year to adjust to the speed of the game.  That's way more than a lot of other current starting QBs have.

Every week, all over the country, there are first-year QBs contributing better.  And plenty of them have crappy olines as well.

Again, I'm not really trying to run-down Arch and I certainly take no joy in it.  I just think he's a known quantity at this point.  I don't think he's going to suddenly hit a light switch and everything will change.  This is who he is, and who he is, really just isn't good enough to meet the lofty goals of this team.

This is... interesting, I guess.

Meaningless. 

Didn't see the first half, saw most of the 4th quarter.  Glad to get the win, Arch's stats look excellent as do the highlights.

And all I can say after watching the refs ensure that a Texas blowout of Vanderbilt turned into not covering a 3.5 point spread is, well, I was wrong to say SEC refs are better than B12 refs.  That was truly embarrassing for them.

I agree 100%
worst called game Ive see by sec refs

But wait, there's more (bad officiating). 

Florida got repeatedly jobbed against Georgia, too.  Shocking I know.

Yeah pretty dumb for OU to be ranked ahead of Texas.  I guess the reasoning is that OU has a better loss than Texas' loss to Florida.

Except that better loss is to... Texas.

Anyway,  poll voters do something stupid, shocking.
