Re: gailey\'s Moves Don\'t Make Sense...
MsTA, so in your scenario Chan decided in December that Bilbo couldn't cut it. So why did he get most of the reps in the spring? Why wouldn't he have worked more with Suggs, or Camp or even moved one of the ex-QBs on the roster back to the spot? You may not like Chan and you obviously think he's a bad coach, but even a bad coach knows you need a QB. Kind of hard to run a team without one.
So if you way Suggs is his man, then Suggs should have gotten all the reps in the spring. He didn't. If you are claiming that he decided a freshman would get the start, then why didn't Pena get all the reps? He was the only freshman around. If that's not your claim, then you are asserting that he had decided to give the job to either Ball or Carter NEITHER OF WHOM HAD STEPPED FOOT ON CAMPUS YET. I don't care what kind of an idiot you think Chan is, no coach in America would do that.
So you see, while I have no inside info, your claims make no sense at all. Maybe Chan had serious doubts about Bilbo in December. If so, he's in step with about 75% of the people who post here. We all had doubts but we all had hopes as well. But somebody had to actually beat him out first, because he may have still been our best QB if Ball hadn't stepped in.
