Rather than curse the darkness, I'm going to light a candle and place it under this post until it is turned to ashes.
Either some good sarcasm or a desire to actually lose to Wofford. This level is beyond nepotism when it comes to starting players. This is BOOM!'s last chance at HC gig. The best QB is playing. Now if we get out to a 28 point lead... But I think we'd better be happy with a one score win.
I disagree they could also be happy for their teammate getting to play. It's WOFFORD not Auburn. We should be able to handle business with me at QB.
Disagree, Jake would be happy for Mike and besides Jake will be at the game it's not like he missed the bus.
Et tu, Brute ? Look it's not about benching Jake it's about rewarding Mike for loyalty it ain't like Mike plays with one arm. I said START THE GAME not really finishing the game. It ain't happening but I'd like to see it.
Not sure this game preps him much, but i do agree he needs the work, especially after Saturday's effort..
Not worth risking a cheap shot injury to me. Get Jake out of the game ASAP!
Maybe, He has never lacked for Confidence, but after 3 ints, he needs to at least feel good about his decisions..
If not for Hurst's great play it could have been 4 picks. We need Jake's head clear when we beat Clemson and start a new streak next week.
Why because they let a loyal kid get to play? Far be it for the Gamecocks to be the laughing stock of the SEC right? It probably won't happen for Mike but it would be a great thing to see. I hope every QB gets in the game but we can't sleep on any team.
Gee whiz man the thread ain't about getting him ready in one game it is about a good gesture to a kid who practices every day and ain't that bad of a QB anyway. It's not legally binding that if he starts the game he has to finish the game I heard Jake's going to be there too so if Mike crashes put in the starter. The way Wofford cut blocks on every run play I'd think about how quickly I could get first team DL out too. It's Wofford not a life or death decision.
Personally, I think it's possible Jake could benefit from sitting a series or two. Being on island by yourself could very well be a lonely place for him to be right about now. Knowing someone has your back could also work wonders. Hard to tell unless it happens. That, coupled with rewarding the backup... I see more upside than down.
Perhaps you should go back and re-read your original post where you said "Give the backup some PT before the Clemson game and let him get his feet wet in case we need him in the Clemson game" along with a couple of other posts throughout the thread mentioning this as well.
Didn't say a word about preparing for next season though but who knows when we will need him. I'm not going to walk back giving him playing time against WOFFORD to a kid who could handle it. I wouldn't want to see any QB have to take snaps against Clemson who hasn't all season, the games too important. That's not the meaning of the OP it is about rewarding a hard working player who can handle it. Did you see the spring game? It's not a message to the team they would applaud it.
I quoted what you wrote. Then you wrote "...the thread ain't about getting him ready in one game..." Now you say that's not what you meant. I can only read what you write, and assume that what you write is what you mean. If not, then you have no business taking issue with someone else's response.
Since we’re having fun maybe give Mike the start and let Jake call the plays in the booth? Roper can sub for the D.J.
The op starts this thread about starting the backup against Wofford @ 11:40am... @ 6pm, the op starts another thread, "Just noticed we play Wofford on Sat"...
