No pissing match. I was a HS QB albeit nowhere near this caliber and I can tell you from personal and observational experience that you need to find a rhythm. I frankly write off year one for Boyle. True freshman, new coach, system adjustments from Weitz, and serious competition that wreaked havoc on our running and passing game. If those first two TD's were not dropped who knows where that confidence would have soared. Bonehead is right Boyle needs to prove it on the practice field to Diaco, that's on him but since we burned this redshirt year lets see what he can do over the course of an entire game. He has had time to learn Diaco's system, now he needs to step on the field knowing his first mistake won't pull him off the field for the day. Whitmer is a gutsy guy, that block he made proves that, but if he had been pulled after his first three and out each game, he would have been pulled each game early in the first quarter. This is not a Whitmer/Boyle issue, its an issue of we now have the time to give Boyle the opportunity to establish a rhythm and develop confidence. I saw 50+ passes in HS caught in stride many times (I guess many is relative). Orlovsky's first games were not a study in offensive purity but as the season progressed so did he. I worked in the same cafeteria as Eric Torkelson in college and we became friends/acquaintances. He carried us past Yale on his back when Yale had kicked our ass for years. I have loved Husky football for many years. Bonehead gets it, we all want to see success on the field! Its about the team, the university, the fans and the players. We have seen Whitmer and he has proven to be ok but not the future. Why do we argue about losing nothing by giving the kid a chance for more than a series.
