I thought the whole "Carson will start the season, but not finish it" at QB was a ridiculous argument, because I interpreted it as "Carson is our best QB, and we will later sit our best QB." ….my thinking here being that the best QB should play the whole year, and "the best" QB should start all the games.
I was wrong…I hope.
I am hoping that Bill is starting Carson in the games that he knows that we have a shot of winning while using Carson. I am hoping that during our stretch of seemingly unwinnable games (that is, unwinnable with Carsy at the controls) he says "eff it, I am going to let Lamur learn on the job and just go out there and Willie Beamish this mother rough rider and maybe some magic happens."
Bill would be in a "can't lose" situation. We are supposed to win those games. If Lamur comes out and craps himself, then you go back to Carsy. What's the worse that could happen? You "damage" Lamur's psyche?
Nope, you run Lamur out there and shoot the moon. If it works, then you are ready to make a run at North Texas and claim that (fingers crossed) sixth win and head to NYC. If it doesn't, you can probably STILL make a run at the sixth win and get to NYC.
Carsy has severed, and will serve a very valuable purpose for us. Roll Carsy out there against NU and let him take his pounding…mix it up with wildcat and all that. Then, use Carsy to see if we can win at KU and Baylor…if we can, we have NYC locked up. THEN, let Lamur take a swing at three games in a row where we will get raped, metaphorically and physically. If doesn't work, re-install Carsy for the remaining two winnable games.
