Is it good coaching to show this little faith in your QB?

PLEASE CONTINUE WHAT YOU DO !!!

This board is really un-readable but you bring some much needed sanity to these threads,,, although after reading these boards for many years I fear that none of what you say will ever sink in to most who post on this board. And like I said many times, the prevailing board reaction to most things is not an accurate reflection of the full fan base. It is unbelievable what some people on this board come up with.

Thanks, but I'm not so sure about the sanity thing. My ex-wife, ex-girfriend and more than a few sheep would tell you otherwise. [roll]

I alluded to it in the "2:30 remaining" post. I think what is hiding in the shadows of that play is a coaching staff that has no faith in the QB. Is using that play as an example a stretch? Maybe. But the 4 runs on the goal line vs Iowa was not.

And maybe worse are the quotes from coach about how "If Oden were ready he'd be in there".

Now I might question what that means "if he were ready", because it sounds kind of like, "if he were better" but to be fair I fully believe what Ash is saying is true. I fully believe Oden is more talented then Laviano, but if you make Laviano your starting QB, then act like he is the starting QB. Play the freaking game. This game manager business is not working. I know guys will come back with lack of talent, which is a no doubt issue especially against the likes of OSU(and there are not many like them), but to deny that coaching, player mgmt and player development are not parts of the equation?

If he was my QB, I would run the single wing. No need to have him throw.
