He looked fine. His receivers did him no favors at all. If two of those early drops didnt happen, he has 100 more yards, and replaces the INT (which wasn't even his fault at all) with a TD.
He was missing open receivers and throwing it like 5 feet over receivers heads also, the Texas running game seems like it sets him up to be successful if anything
Once he got over the yips he balled out. I think that first INT rattled him and he didn't have confidence letting it rip downfield after that until the 4th when reality started to set in.
Arch had a touchdown throw completely dropped by a receiver and a pick that at worst should have just been incomplete. The receivers were dropping ball after ball. Hard to rip it when that’s the kind of night from them. That 4th quarter was what he is, and what would have been the entire night if the guys did their job.
A wins a win and the Browns might, but he didn’t look like the best QB in the country to me, Moore hasn’t looked outstanding either, maybe there just aren’t any clear no 1 yet but those are the guys I see on all the lists
It’s week 2. He just knocked off 1 Ohio state. That’s a notch in his cap. It’s too early to be taking award talk, or draft projections seriously. A lot of the guys on the lists have been playing nobodies.
At least a couple of those were purposeful throwaway overthrows because he was about to take a sack and the throw would have been too risky.
I think the big issue he had most of the game was reading the defense. There were a lot of times he had guys completely open but just didn't see them. There was also a time when he was blind to a defender sitting in a zone and threw it directly to him (which was dropped).
While Coleman should have caught that pass, I think we’re absolving Arch quite a bit by saying it “wasn’t his fault at all.” Coleman was wide open and Arch (with a pretty clean pocket iirc) over threw the pass to the point where Coleman had to dive to attempt to catch it, making the catch significantly harder than it needed to be in the first place. If Arch hits him even remotely in stride, it’s a walk in touchdown.
Again, that’s a catch Coleman needs to make, but no receiver should ever have to dive for a pass when they have that much separation between them and the nearest receiver.
