Trying to be accurate here based on what I've seen.  CDRW played pretty well off the bench vs UConn and ND last year.  He's been atrocious as a starter - last year and this year.  Does it make sense?  No.

I don't see why the staff let him play the whole game last week.  He has regressed.  C'mon, you have to be able to read what's happening right in front of your eyes.  He wasn't effective and playing him longer wasn't helping.  Then he turned his ankle and couldn't walk... but they put him back in.

We really know nothing about Braden Davis.  But we saw Luke MacPhail* play more minutes in the last 2 spring games than anyone else, incl QB Villari.  The kid was poised. He threw better in those games than CDRW is throwing right now.  Neither of them are runners.  Morgan wasn't a runner either, but he did play with more poise than CDRW has.

*For his HS career, MacPhail completed 496 of 772 passes for 7,195 yards, 85 touchdowns and 9 interceptions.

Will Dino's career start with a walk on QB vs Pitt, and end with a walk on QB vs Pitt?  Maybe Dino will surprise us Saturday, remember the coach he used to be, and play MacPhail.

Zach Mahoney's line vs Pitt:  "completions (43), attempts (61) and passing yards (440). His 43 completions were two shy of Ryan Nassib's [SU] record of 45."

If not, it just shows how different Dino's aggressiveness on offense is now compared to 2016.
