Maybe...JUST MAYBE.... YOU are wrong. ALL you do is scream, "He was a backup, he wasn't even good enough to play in HS, etc, etc, etc, rinse and repeat..."
You have never acknowledged the fact that, while he was a backup, it was to another 4* player who was a phenomenal athlete who just happened to run a spread option style offense. We saw what happened when Urban Meyer tried to use John Brantley to run a Tim Tebow / Cam Newton type offense. It doesn't work the same. It could be as simple as that. Given the coaches chosen style of football, is there really any question of who he'd use if he had both talents available???
Why is it so hard for you to accept anything positive that is said about this kid? No one is claiming that the kid is the second coming of Danny Wuerffel. Most are in wait and see mode and would be pleasantly surprised if he turned out to be a good one. Most people enjoy a good underdog, Cinderella type story from time to time. I bet you were rooting for the evil stepmother and her lil' heifer daughters to keep Cinderella in her proper place.
A grown ass man continuing to "trash" a kid for no good reason. Shameful old bastard.
