Said this a couple days ago. Mora said he's not going to flip flop on starters and doesn't think that's how it should be. Also said, Evers won the starting QB job a couple weeks before the Maryland game. I was saying this could be the outcome and for everybody to temper their expectations because similar to your point... if you say this guy is our starter and we ain't flip flopping, then you could also lose the locker room for flip flopping on a your decision when you said you wouldn't. That's why it was always in the back of my mind that Evers if cleared would be back in the lineup.
That's likely not viable. Whoever the starter is.. Evers or Fagnano is getting the lion's share of the first team reps. We're in season now.. it's not summer camp anymore. Coaches watch film, come up with a game plan, pare down the playbook for the week to fit the game plan and then you spend the week implementing it. If it's Joe F. great. If it's Evers, great. But you don't have time anymore to let everybody get a bite at the apple during practice, because you need your starters to have the plan locked in. So it's not like you just say.. ah that's a rough start for Joe, let's throw Nick in there. If he could just hop in there and play better having gotten less reps in practice, then he likely should have been the start all along and vice versa.
I hope not, that's a remarkably bad attitude to take with this. It also presumes Evers is a liability because that would be the reason you don't do it the other way around.
One and a half… against backups and an overmatched FCS team. He’s got to start whomever he thinks gives the team the best chance to win.

I don’t care who it is… but it’s not an apples to apples comparison anymore than comparing Welliver at the scrimmage (against the seconds) to Fagnano’s performance against the ones… after the scrimmage through Game 1 it was still a feeling many here held that Fagnano was only on the roster due to football nepotism towards the old OC and that his taking another meaningful snap was a sign it was time to pack it in.
I’m starting to think we (the boneyard) may not be the best people to make this call….
I think Mora is building a relationship with Evers. He said he won the starter role and isn’t going to lose it due to injury. Also is tempering Merrimack results given they are FCS and Maryland is Big10.
I can see Mora as the Yankee skipper taking Gerrit Cole into the 7th inning down a couple runs. Lol
I actually think this is a real possibility. It is sort of a free play for Mora.
