aka;n69685 said:He just looked relieved, to me. Was open and pretty unguarded in his comments. Having the short field after the TO was a good time to make the change, considering we needed two scores, and there was a good chance to get at least 3 there. Despite what the message board experts think they know, it had to be a tough decision to put his career in the hands of a freshman in that situation. He had no choice, really, and gave much praise to TH. I don't know who will start, and don't care, I just want to win and I believe he will use one or both to try to accomplish that. He doesn't have to sweat that decision, it's been made, so now he has both options if necessary. If JD has his mind right about being backup or sharing time, it's a good situation for us.
Gatoravatara;n69425 said:This is my problem. Why would he even consider putting JD in after yesterday? This would tell me that his ego is more important than winning.

Jenny On The Railroad;n69511 said:I really like your observation of the contrast between his D and O perceptions. And I think that yes he does not realize it is ok to be wrong and make adjustments. Probably does intellectually, but it is the earlier programming that drives it. In some families it is highly not OK,, even forbidden to make mistakes or be less than perfect. . Mistakes, even the tiniest deviations from the command or expectation meet with harsh emotional or physical response that are damaging, guilt and low self esteem producing.( Of course, it is rarely inflicted with that intent.). While it doesn't have to produce what you see in muscahmp, this inner flip side is real typical in people with muschamp's public personality traits.

Wonder how many would want others cavalierly demanding they put their livelihood in the hands of an 18 year old kid that they've known for a couple of months. Even though signs point in that direction, it's still a potential life changing decision.
He's lost 17 games in the past three years doing what he was doing. If he continues doing what he was doing, he'll have a life changing decision made for him in a few weeks.Coach9;n69803 said:I'm always amazed at how many discount this fact.
