Lot of good points here, especially Meyer not being afraid to bench his NC winning QB after two picks. Unfortunately, our head coach has not once in the three years, two games that is his lifetime sum total of head coaching experience shown any ability to re-evaluate his decisions and take steps to correct his own mistakes. It's really not his fault, he has no experience and just can't do this job right.
Maybe if Lavs had gotten some playing time in real games last year, he'd be better now. Good coaches tend to think forward like that sometimes. Now, we're back exactly where we were 3 years ago with Coach "Gary is our starter" flushing another year for "On the Job Training" while a more ready player rides the pine.
Les Miles won a Sugar bowl playing both Jamarcus Russell and Matt Flynn at QB in just about every game. He wan a BCS national championship the next year doing the same thing with Matt Flynn and Ryan Perriloux.
Flood is done at the end of the year anyway, so just play both guys and let the next coach pick.
