Taylor did not avoid contact his freshman year, and after the injuries it became apparent he was being told to aviod serious contact. I agree Taylor is not the best QB in the country, but he is the best we have, and he is putting his body on the line every weekend for the team and the fans. It is not his fault this staff has failed in recruiting to this point. Get behind him and hope for the best, as that is all we have.
I truly believe if Bo or Beck felt Armstrong was ready, that he had the knowledge and ability, he would have played by now. We seem to recruit projects, kids not ready to step on the field as true Freshmen. I see that changing in the future, unless the big boys are taking all this type of athlete. I know Stoops says he only recruits ready to play as Freshmen. Hopefully we get to that position.
Either way, we are not going to have a different QB this year, so hitch your horse to the team and support them. You really have no option other than to complain about a young kid that is trying as hard as he can. No one on this team wants to win more than Taylor, and now he is doing it without his friend Rex.
Blame who is responsible for poor play, poor schemes, poor plans and the infamous, failure to execute. That is where the problem lies, not with the kids physical limitations.
