"“Great players make great plays, good players make good plays, bad players make bad plays,” Patterson said. “Everyone’s got to be a good or great player. That’s what we need if you want to be on the field, or we’re making a mistake putting you on the field.”

The backup has played at every other position that has struggled. (OL, RB, WR)
My observation is that Shawn is not 100% physically and it is impacting his play and his decisions. Even when healthy, his decisions are many times sketchy. He does not see the field well at this point, and the game has not slowed down for him. He is trying to perform on instinct versus calculated play. He has turned the ball over in every game he has played, multiple times.
Collins has the tools and is healthy. Does he have the ability to put it together and do better than Shawn? We don't know because he has not been given the chance in meaningful game conditions. Mike should be given the chance to show what he has. The team needs to see that the coaches are looking for a spark and are willing to try something new to help them get on the winning side. At this point, Shawn has not shown he can deliver.
Shawn should get healthy and watch from the sideline a bit. Maybe he will see some things and the light will come on for him. Mike deserves a shot.

The reason we don't play Collins is simple: he is not a mobile QB. Our OL cannot protect a mobile QB, so why would they do any better with a pocket passer? When MC played against UT, they pressured the pocket every pass play and he struggled. He couldn't step into his throws and bounced most of his passes.
Tech learned that last night, too. They brought in another QB in the third quarter and the Frogs knocked him down almost every pass attempt. They went back to the mobile guy and he scrambled for the game winner.
It does not matter who the QB or RB or WRs are if you cannot block anyone. There are a lot of issues with our offense, but until the OL plays a little better, we are going to struggle.

At some point you have to take a look.
I think SR has the tools. But I think he needs some time on the sideline. Not to punish him, but to get back to some basics. Maybe the game is still a little too fast and seeing it with no pressure will pay dividends.
We very likely could end up with a losing season if the turnovers continue. And to be clear, not all the turnovers are on him, but the turnovers are the single most reason we are losing ball games.

How do you know he’s not a mobile QB? He seemed to run the ball well against SMU. Had several rushing touchdowns.
EDIT maybe it was one TD.

You’re gonna have to enlighten me on how this is an answer to how you know Collins will be more accurate.
And starting from the 2 yard line after their punting put us in a bad position to start.

In his limited opportunities I watched him throw the ball into the dirt in front of an open receiver. That makes me question whether he is more accurate.
