and none were as big a snowflake as Del DoucheoI've met a few real leaders of men in my life, they wore a different kind of uniform. Just saying.

If Zaire was unavailable to play it would probably be LDR and we then could start taking bets on how many picks he would throw with Michigan blitzing every other play.
If Butters wasnt able to see LDR was hurt, he should be disqualified from coaching. The kid was limping around with ice on his shoulder after the games. I appreciate that he is trying to deflect for Butters though.
Butters just WASNT (and isnt) changing just like Mushchump wasnt changing.
When Jim McElwain looks in the mirror he sees Luke Del Rio.
"LDR's playing days are over."every QB is "in the plans" you know that right?
Seriously, what do you guys expect him to say?

Dont get me wrong, I think it will probably be Zaire if not LDR. If it is LDR, Zaire will have packages regardless, then Zaire will take over.I'm not totally dismissing your take on things
never said that....but please continue"LDR's playing days are over."
I expect him to say nothing. Nobody asked him about Del Rio. I didn't hear him offer up anything about Trask. Or Allen.

At least half of LDRs 'highlight' passes were thrown late or underthrown (or both). I do not want to see this guy take another snap at UF. I was calling for Appleby early last year - I don't want to be yelling at the TV again this year asking for LDRs replacement.
I'm not totally dismissing your take on things, as I don't have sufficient evidence to refute it. But what I think makes this a different situation is the Zaire transfer. It's been stated numerous times that he didn't leave ND and come here just to hold a clipboard, nor do I think he'll be content with some situational role. If we have a competent, proven QB that can potentially ignite our offense, and he's just sitting there as we trot out LDR, it's game over for Mac. He'll lose and shred of credibility and equity that he's earned. I don't disagree that he's stubborn. But that would be career suicide, especially with the publicity Zaire's "commitment" received. I don't think he's willing to throw that towel in.
I do agree that he should've been benched in the Ark game. But I think it was less about them not recognizing the injury, and more about LDR selling them on the notion that he was still ok to play, which was selfish on his part. Either way, we weren't beating Ark with that gameplan and sloppy defensive play. The arrogance still frustrates me though.
Granted, he's no Danny or Rex, but he's serviceable. What's his record vs the other 3 QBs? He got great experience last year. We may need it. I'm glad we have him.
