As a general proposition, players get better with experience, right?
I'm not saying he's an NFL prospect, but he's also new at this.

They say players make the most improvement over their first four games, and then from their first year to second year in a program.

People were ripping on Angeli after we got beat by Tennessee.
Three weeks later he was leading the country in throwing.

Let's hope for the best.
We all know there is reason for major concern.

But teams don't have the luxury of releasing players, or destroying their role on the team, just because they have one bad game.  This isn't the NFL where you release a place kicker after he loses the game.

People who have been on teams for several years with a somewhat changing, but mostly consistent group of guys is how athletes grow into better people.  It's a big part of making friends for life.  You get to know guys by being a part of a team better than any other way I've experienced.

To build culture, you have to support each other in hard times.  Yes, hold people accountable, but they didn't have a bad game on purpose.
