Except we have had two games since then and one QB looks more ready than the other. Don’t get in the way of success.
They can start Fagnano and if it doesn’t work then they can always try Evers again.
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.
Like I said in an earlier post, Evers went down with an injury and Joe F. stepped up and played great. What the coaches need to figure out is, if Evers wasn't hurt, he'd have started, and would we have had the same outcome and would we all be singing his praises for 5 td passes? If yes, then are we going to penalize a player for being injured and held out for medical? If no, then you have a much more clear cut answer.
Edit: Looks like all these things were said at the press conference today, looking at the Tweets posted in Duke game thread.
