Agreed. There needs to be obvious improvement.Proves otherwise? He wasn't Joe Montana last year by any means...
Earned a right for a shot that is all. Play the bestIsn't it also stupid to say "I'm going to watch because I've always watched"?
Just don't have a lot of interest in watching an outsider play QB for us.
I tolerated it with Feaster last year b/c we didn't have any RB talent to speak of.
We've got a QB. He proved himself last year under far-less-than-ideal circumstances. He's proved himself to be a Gamecock through and through. He sacrificed his body for this team, his teammates and coaches. I want to sink or swim with Ryan this year.
I've just got no interest in seeing some gimpy grad transfer who couldn't hack it in the MWC. Throwing on a Gamecock uniform doesn't make you a Gamecock. And I could give two sh*ts about him supposedly "knowing" the system. Kid hasn't played a complete season of football since 2015 as a high schooler.
Say all you want about the best player playing. There's also a lot to be said for loyalty. Ryan has earned the right to be starter this year.
After reading this thread its very clear that you aren't a gamecock fan, you're a Ryan Hillinski fan.One's a Ram in Gamecock clothing.

Amen to that, “ABC”!!! ANYONE BUT CLEMSON!!! Go cocks!!!!!I ll be watching Carolina Football and pulling for whomever is playing Clemson!
I think it affects team morale when you toss an experienced SEC QB to the curb in favor of a relatively inexperienced no-name QB from the MWC who has a meager resume and whose only selling point is that he purportedly knows the OC's system.
Hilinski ran the gauntlet of an SEC schedule as a true freshman. That alone is worth more than any credentials Hill brings to the table.
We should be used to this by now. Champ kept running Jake out there to crap the bed game after game, even after Scar showed he was more than capable at the position.
I'll agree with you on the JB situation from the year before last.
But as far as morale this year; [IF Collin Hill were to beat out Ryan Hilinski] How about when the team sees a player (hypothetically, RH) get the start just because he started last year, even if someone (hypothetically, CH) comes in and performs better? If I'm on the team, that tells me, "Dang, even if I bust my butt to be the best, they're still going to play their favorite from last year..."
Start and play whomever performs the best and gives the best chance to win.
