When "very good" translates into "leading the nation in passing" despite playing two early games against Tennessee and Clemson, after having never started a collegiate game before, anyassessmet that pooh-pooh's his capabilties sounds rationalized.

Angeli was a perfect fit for our system.  And he was capable of getting the job done, even against better defenses / higher caliber defensive players [cue someone referencing the uconn game to counter].  He essentially stepped into Kyle McCord's big shoes, and the offense didn't skip a beat, despite having to replace nearly all of the skilled players and 4 starters on the offensive line.  Think about that for a second.

Angeli is a stud.  Had he not gotten injured, I think we'd be in solid position for a bowl already [with the wins coming against SMU and Pitt, and possibly even UNC].  With him, the team could put up lots of points -- and maybe even contend in shootouts against the likes of Duke and GT.  Not saying we win those games, but who knows.

Without him, the team has imploded.  And suddenly the knee jerk reaction from a segment of the fanbase are that Fran can't coach, the OC isn't any good, and Angeli is just so-so anyway.
