We are going to suck ass this year anyway. Keep the shirt on him, but play him in 4 games.

I've got a different take
Playing Oliver in a run heavy version of our O hurts GT FB in the future, next season
Since it is unlikely that a TFr or Portal guy will start at QB in 20, these Reps & these games need to mean something
Playing Oliver in a run heavy scheme just to go 6-6 and earn a low tier Bowl will hurt us next season because Oliver & our other QBs will not have gotten better at what we hope to be doing next season
If we're gonna lose, let's lose by doing something that will pay dividends in 20
QB keepers to beat Citadel won't be of any value come 2020
Kinda amazing that after 9 months in this new system our QBs can't dink & dunk until we get to the RZ and then run the ball to score TDs to beat lesser teams
CFB rules make it impossible to stop dink & dunk passes, yet the QBs we have leftover from CPJ can't even do that
What do you mean hurts it in the future? Recruiting? Skills development?
And how will getting sacked and throwing it out of bounds to avoid a sack or scrambling out of the pocket help GT FB in the future?
At some point our QBs are gonna have to get used to playing QB in the pocket and making decisions as a pass first QB
Tons of QB keepers this season won't make our QBs better decision makers in 2020
Instead of running a hybrid Offense to eke out wins to go to a low tier Bowl game, run our offense that will develop our QBs for 2020
You play the players that give you the best chance to win. Period. If our best QB is a runner, then you run the ball. Add as many pass concepts as you can, but you run the ball if that's what works. If your personnel is better at passing, then you throw the ball.At some point our QBs are gonna have to get used to playing QB in the pocket and making decisions as a pass first QB

I want to see Yates in four games at least but we absolutely should have tried to eke out a win against The Citadel

This is what Collins and Patenaude said they were going to do - scheme around the players they have.
What if playing time this year meant game experience that made the differnce between 7&5 and 8&4 next year?We are going to suck ass this year anyway. Keep the shirt on him, but play him in 4 games.

Then when next season rolls around we'll be back to ground zero
Doing what you suggest above only delays the rebuild so that we can compete for a lower tier Bowl game
I'd rather suffer now and prosper later than to extend the suffering into future seasons
Getting better at QB keepers won't help us in 2020
What an incredibly stupid hot take
Explain why?
At some point in the near future QB keepers won't be a big part of our Offense
Shouldn't we be using these Reps during this Mulligan year to develop our QBs for 2020 and beyond
Suppose one of the current 3 QBs is our starter in 20 & 21, do you want that guy to get meaningful Reps this season or do want that guy to have a bunch of Reps running QB keepers
There are some of us who’d like to win some this year too.Explain why?

It's stupid because first of all you are throwing this year away. Secondly, you are assuming that QB keepers won't be a big part of our offense in the future (our coach and OC have both said that we are moving to a "pro style" offense but have repeatedly mentioned read option concepts). Thirdly, you are assuming that these reps of trying to execute the slow developing long bombs that you apparently want to see behind a poor/injured offensive line will somehow be more beneficial to our team than the morale killer of throwing in the towel this year, and abandoning our most proven offensive weapon, which is the run. You are saying that we should cut our nose off to spite our face. The drivel you have been posting about "ripping off the option band aid" is based on a bunch of assumptions that may set the program back rather than set us up for success next year.
I think we have a better chance of teaching Tobias Oliver (who has shown he can avoid sacks and make plays with his legs) how to better roll out and pass than we have of giving our other quarterbacks sufficient time to execute a more complex passing scheme. You are saying that three and outs and sacks during games would be better for our offensive future than trying to coach up and improve the passing of a quarterback who is very talented in other parts of his game. I disagree. If our coaches are thinking like you, they need to be thrown out on their asses now.
