First off, I very seldom feel sorry for a player that gets to this level and doesn't see the field or gets passed up by a player that is better. These guys have had athletic careers millions of kids could only dream of and they’re getting their college payed for. So, if there is someone better than Adrian and gives us a better chance of winning, not just now but long term, then he should be playing.
That said, I think there is one hell of a lot more going on here than just, Adrian sucked. O line, receivers, injury, center snaps....etc. He didn’t play well, but all of those things play into it.
It’s going to be very interesting to see how this plays out going into next year. All of those factors I listed very well could have been address and will be improved for next year.
So, now let the competition play out. We have three QBs that won’t be concerned about redshirt/no redshirt. Let the best man play.
one thing I’m sure of though. Some fans will still want the backup.
And, Burrow would have won us some games this year, but we wouldn’t have gone undefeated.
