The arguments on who's better is laughable. No one knows. Cochran is definitely the guy and if he's healthy should be the only one on the field. But if given the option of losing with a senior on his way out or a freshman strong armed kid who had it rough against the toughest part of the schedule last year, then I take Boyle in a second. But the fact is hey see Boyle with some potential and would prefer not to waste a year on him and that's fine I would tend to agree. But if Cochran is out for multiple games you scrub that thought and let the kid play. Whitmer is a great kid, came back yadayadayada, team player yadayadayada but he's not the answer. Would what he brings to the team be as good as Boyle? Maybe but one would prepare for next year and beyond the other not so much. Whitmer loves leaving the pocket the first breath he feels around him, sometimes to the wrong side and runs into trouble, plus his arm is weak. People say he made plays with his legs - well hell yeah he did, he ran every time he felt pressure, sometimes with a pocket forming. Hope Cochran comes back healthy but if this extends to a few games we need to see Boyle because looking at both sides of the ball this is a 2-3 win team like it or not anyway!
