Why? Because I thought some posters' criticism of him has been over the top before we actually saw him play?

I never said Collins was winning the Heisman, or that there was some huge injustice that Angeli won the job. I thought both QBs were flawed and didn't think once was necessarily better than the other, and my only point was both guys deserved a fair shake from our fans.

However, after a shaky start to the season in the Tennessee/3 quarters of UConn, Angeli looked solid against Colgate, and completely proved me wrong at Clemson. I was looking forward to the rest of the season with him at the helm before the injury (because I am a Syracuse fan and I care more about success than internet points).

I also believed that if Collins got his chance, he had the tools to be successful. While he showed some flashes Saturday I don't think he's good enough to lead us to where Angeli could have if he didn't get injured. I figured after a full week of practice with the ones, and some plays crafted more to his skill set, we would've seen some success against Duke. That was incorrect.

I don't think a true freshman is the answer this season either, but I'm not the coach. I just want to make a bowl game.
