Said M. Scar was never given a fair shot at the starting QB position in 2016. Not surprising but was surprised to hear him say those words.

It's possible that an effort will be made to ensure that Jake has one more week to "heal completely". It would take the stigma off not starting, if that's the way they want to go.He probably won’t get a fair shot to start the A&M game either.
Orth also said he would go with Scar Saturday. He has earned his shot and has the hot hand. Also said there is no way that Bentley is 100% this weekend. An 80% Bentley can't be better than a 100% Scar.He probably won’t get a fair shot to start the A&M game either.
Agree 100% That will be Champ's out.It's possible that an effort will be made to ensure that Jake has one more week to "heal completely". It would take the stigma off not starting, if that's the way they want to go.
A&M will be a tougher nut to crack. Their defense will be better than the one we just saw.
This is just my guess / speculation. I could be 100% wrong. Champ doesn't know QB's / offenses. He likely made the decision based on Roper's input, not on playing favorites. Keep in mind, Scar did have some injury issues in 2016. Just hard for me to believe that with all the QB issues we had in 2016, he didn't get a shot.I’m as big of a Muschamp fan as anyone but if he starts playing favorites that is really bad news.
It'll only get ugly if they refuse to pull him when it's obvious he needs to sit. I don't see what it hurts letting Scar have this game and give Jake 2 more weeks to rest his knee. Scar gives us just as good of chance of winning as Jake does.From the injury report, sounds like Jake is likely going to start. It's going to get ugly with the fan base if Jake looks like the Jake we have watched most of the year.
Even Spurrier with his ego kept his son on the bench.Nepotism is why he never got a real shot. You'll never convince me otherwise. I know what I saw Saturday and every time he played in the spring game. When you leave a QB in that keeps turning the ball over that says a lot. Even Dabo isn't dumb enough to start his son just because he's his son.
Agreed. I would use the "Jake's not 100%" excuse this week and see what Scar can do. He could always go back to Bentley. If Ryan H. has been told he could come in and start next year, would you believe these coaches if they are not going to give Scar a shot?It'll only get ugly if they refuse to pull him when it's obvious he needs to sit. I don't see what it hurts letting Scar have this game and give Jake 2 more weeks to rest his knee. Scar gives us just as good of chance of winning as Jake does.
Dabo wouldn't even let his son score against Wake. Everyone was calling to throw it to him but they purposely didn't.Even Spurrier with his ego kept his son on the bench.
I was wanting it to happen. The announcers and camera crew were expecting it.Dabo wouldn't even let his son score against Wake. Everyone was calling to throw it to him but they purposely didn't.
Yup. We laughed at the taters a few weeks back for their issues. If JB comes out and stinks it up we got serious issues of our own.From the injury report, sounds like Jake is likely going to start.

He could very well start to lose this team if Jake starts and plays poorly.Yup. We laughed at the taters a few weeks back for their issues. If JB comes out and stinks it up we got serious issues of our own.
Had a HS coach say, “some people are 5 o clock guys. Some are 8 o’clock guys”. Bentley I think is more talented, just don’t know about the mental side of it.Jake gets high praise from the media and Muschamp and it makes it tough to make a change even when it's obvious, I hope this ain't the case. Mike looked smooth and poised Jake sometimes panics he should be hit more in practice. I believe Jake is better practice player with no pressure and Mike is a better game time choice. JMO
Bentley was better his freshman season since then he has issues handling the hype and big game pressures he's pressing. There was no pressure then.JMOHad a HS coach say, “some people are 5 o clock guys. Some are 8 o’clock guys”. Bentley I think is more talented, just don’t know about the mental side of it.

We could very well be 3-3 with or w/o Jake.Jake's playing this weekend???
We'll be 3-3 after the game...

exactly what the taters saidI think the coaching staff knows a lot more than the experts in this thread.
When it come to defense, I agree. Not so sure on the offensive side of the ball. I'm sure J.B. looks better in practice. Anyone that watched last week's game has to agree that M.S. looked a lot better than J.B.in games. I would think the coaches (and the fan for certain) want to see if M.S. can validate what we saw last week. With Jake not being 100%, what do we have to lose?I think the coaching staff knows a lot more than the experts in this thread.
Well, three coaches, including the one that recruited him, have shown us by not starting him. I mean Orth beat him out. But he's older and more experienced now.This is not good news. Scar can play. Not saying he's better than Jake but how would we know? .

Jake on the bench, watching and reflecting, will make Jake a better player when he comes back in.Jake gets high praise from the media and Muschamp and it makes it tough to make a change even when it's obvious, I hope this ain't the case.
