not worried at all.  What this means is that in his loyalty to TD and to the team chemistry he KNOWS he need give TD the starting nod.  What it also means is Schrader is better but will have to bide his time/show what he has in a two qb system for a while.   And if/when TD falters he'll be the number one man.  Keeps team chemistry, he doesnt jump over TD until he earns it on the field, thus, earning the respect of his teammates who will be ok with the situation in that scenario instead of being anointed the starter over an experienced well liked well respected kid who has put in his time.

Anyone not concerned with such issues has either never played the game, coached or both, nor likely been successful in a team sport, nor understands the team dynamics of college sports where it is NOT like the NFL.   These type issues require nuance and can make or break a team where loyalty both to team and individuals in some cases absolutely matters.  Yes loyalty.  Tough concept for some to grasp.

So with all that, not worried at this point.  That said If by the 5th game we have the same situation without a clear number one, then I'm worried my 8-4 to 6-6 type prediction is in jeopardy and we're on our way to another long season.   Here's Hoping for the best.
