actually I think GP always wants to go with the person he thinks is least likely to make a mistake that forces his defense to have to overcome dumb decisions by the offense - or worse let's the other teams D score. He thinks his D can win most battles against the other teams offense so if ours will just score a few pts we are good - the win by 1 pt mentality. But if their D is scoring, it causes his approach a problem.That would be GP. He has always gone with experience over a true Freshman at QB. I agree with you also that I don't believe this staff can coach up or prepare a QB. Cumbie can't even come up with a decent game plan to utilize our players strengths, or make in game adjustments. If Cumbie's seat wasn't warm before the season, it needs to be nearly on fire now.
Unfortunately that is probably not the best mindset in the B12 unless that person also happens to be the best option to make things really happen on offense. When that person is both, we get 10+ win years and when that person is only the lowest risk - we fight for bowl eligibility.
Would be nice to just go with the guy with the most upside in years like this one - where we could see something great for the next 4 years start with a kid like Duggan instead of just managing risk with a guy like Delton and then going through it all again next year...
