Message: [QUOTE="CbusCuse, post: 5597143, member: 507"] I agree that I don't completely like how Carney saw the field. Wish he would have had more opportunities the throw the ball when he was in. But some of this thinking is revisionist thinking in hindsight. The Colgate game is exactly the type of game where you play a freshman QB to get him some time with the plan to redshirt him. Would hope it would be for more than a play though. But Ricky had to come out on that play for some reason right? He could have put Angeli back in but saw an opening to put Carney in and did it. Nobody knew Angeli was going to get hurt and then our second string QB was going to look bad and need to be yanked. And the way the season was going, absolutely zero fans thought Collins should have started every game the rest of the season after Angeli was injured, including you. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Archbold44.jpg"]257939[/ATTACH] The fans would have been even more irate if we started Collins every game and kept losing. They would be screaming how can Fran not make a QB change and see if what we have is better or not?!?! Like it or not, Coaches do need to appease the fans to some degree in order to keep there job. Once fans are sold they disagree with who is coach, he is as good as gone. Plus you really don't know what will happen with any QB until he get into game action. You may have an idea but you don't know for sure. And once you know Collins isn't it, I think he thought lets try to get some experience for QB's for the future. Obviously Fran didn't expect it to go as bad as it did for Filardi and I don't think everyone else htought it would go that bad either. You hope for growth but with the OL struggles etc it just wasn't happening. Tough situation all around. Fran obviously needs to take some blame but I don't agree with the thought of Collins should have started every game after Angeli went down. [/QUOTE]
