Not true and not fair. I've always thought we had the potential to be good with Kenny. Go look at the season prediction thread. I picked us to go 10-2 knowing Kenny was our QB.
Ive also never been a part of the bash Kenny crowd. And I very much appreciate that he's brought us to this point and I hope he gets to finish out his career healthy and with a big 12 championship/ and a good bowl win.
Not trying to knock Kenny, but I don't think we are a playoff quality team with him at QB. I'm not saying we are with Shawn and I agree that it's EXTREMELY unlikely. But who knows. He could be incredible. Or he could be an athletic freshman with flashes of greatness, but also full of growing pains and mistakes. We don't know. But I feel like we do know with Kenny. That was my only point.
Anyway, I feel like you're too annoyed and fed up with Kenny haters to agree with me here, so I digress.
My bad for lumping you in that crowd.
I don't know if we're a playoff team or not. If we're healthy we might be, but missing Jet the rest of the way really hurts. It's unlikely that we'll get a shot at the playoffs anyway IMO, even if we win out. I'm not worried about that, though. We'll see how everything plays out.
The constant hypotheticals just wear me out. Kenny has started all year for a reason, and that reason is because he's an experienced 5th-year Senior QB with a Freshman backup. According to GP today, Robinson has come a long way since the Spring. I take that to mean that it wasn't even really close to being a competition going into the season (I think JC confirmed that on 247), yet the same anti-Hill folks have been hammering out those same hypotheticals all year, even while we ran off to a 7-0 start.
Shawn's grasp of our offense is likely much better now, but he has yet to experience a start (or many plays, really) in college. To think he can go to Lubbock and come out of the gate better than Kenny is very unrealistic/unlikely, which is why Kenny will start if he's close to being healthy. Shawn needs more snaps but I'm certainly hoping Kenny is good to go on Saturday. He'll give us the best chance to win, as he has all season.
