The huge thing is that if both QBs are playing so-so, you play Duggan every single time. Like it’s such a no brainer it shouldn’t be discussed. One guy is a freshman with three years ahead of him and the other guy is a 5th year senior who can’t help us beyond this year.
this becomes the issue in the quarterback room for me.
up until this past week the frogs really had two viable options at quarterback, duggan and delton.
i won't go into why one versus the other as no need to go down that rabbit hole again, but i think most on this board would agree that neither delton or duggan have looked great, they each have had moments, each have shown flaws, and there have been moments when a lot of opportunity was left out on the field in the passing game.
now with collins apparently healthy, the frogs have a third option. mike has been at tcu 2+ years so he knows the system, he has shown he can be effective throwing the football, has some mobility, and there are some who believe had he been healthy through fall camp would have been the starter.
sonny has one helluva a quandry in how do you handle this situation. do you game prep with three quarterbacks? do you split practice reps with the number one's three ways? do you ask duggan to red-shirt since he is only at four game? if max does start on saturday in ames and he struggles do you pull him and in so who comes into the game?
the position has always been that the team will do what is best for the team and the best for the program. the next few weeks will be interesting to see how this unfolds and if postiion holds firm or waivers.
