I think that’s a pretty honest assessment. But you are making the mistake that we are rationale humans.

On a struggling team- especially with a program that has been down- the best qb in the history of mankind is QB2.

Then sprinkle in some expectations- both for Tommy what he was supposed to be after the UNC and shrader for what he is supposed to be with the helicopter play- along w the fact that they are replacing one of the two best QBs we have had in 20 years and here we are.

The major issue for me is I think I know what I’m getting from Tommy but do see some room for development in shrader. And that’s based purely on number of times I’ve seen them play and their overall experience.

Tommy has shown better mobility this year and a better willingness to avoid sacks/pressure. He does not make plays in my opinion. Maybe that’s a function of what’s around him- not a good enough line and no receivers who can climb the ladder to make a catch. Maybe that changes with the o line switch to Bergeron-bleich-serv-Dakota-X but prob vet. Maybe it changes with giving this younger (Alford and Gadsden) and older (cooper) receivers some run.

I hope it does. I really don’t like 2 QB systems but also think neither QB can do everything we need to do on the field to win 6 games. So I favor playing them both and hope to see both improve during the year.
