I put this on Nixon.

Come Hell or high water, Nixon is going to throw the ball, even if the game situation doesn't dictate that it makes sense (see our bizarre end game/before the half play calls).

He doesn't trust Carney's arm. So he doesn't want to play him. He'd rather have Collins throw interceptions and have Filardi's "better" arm throw incompletions all over the place than see what Carney can do. Remember, at the end of the day, these guys have to fight really hard to overcome meathead tendencies, and right now Nixon's losing that battle. There is no possible way Filardi was better prepared to start that game ON A SHORT WEEK than Carney. Otherwise, overlooking Carney's participation in spring ball and all the practice reps he's gotten as a backup is an admission that our staff can't coach and their player preparation in practice is worth nothing.

As embarrassing as the play on the field has been, the mishandling of Carney is even worse.
