nope QB play is the main reason this team can't get to the next level ive seen enough of mitch
This season? If you think he's been below average in a couple of the other games this season then maybe your expectations are too high. He had been solid up to this point. Not great, but certainly not below average.
The terrible OL and WR play has had nothing to do with it?
Good point. We were stuck between a rock and hard place. Claeys was the safe choice and likely kept a good recruiting class together. Which keeping him did do. But risking more years on someone who had never been a HC isn't fiscally sound either. So you can argue that we've forced Claeys hand.
ive been on record saying i think either croft or green will be a better fit for jays offense and will have a better career when its all said and done
Hope you are right. Clearly they don't feel either of them is a better fit at the moment though as they would have zero reason not to play them if they felt they could run the offense better than Mitch. They have no reason to save a redshirt season for a QB they won't be coaching anyway when that last year comes around if they don't start winning games this year.
No argument at all really. Mitch is head and shoulders the best QB we have right now. The fact that Claeys is on a one year contract just reinforces how much of a no-brainer starting Mitch all season is. I understand people are frustrated, I'm frustrated too. I've been labelled a Mich-hater on this site now for over two years, so I'm not being a homer. The idea of throwing in the towel on our season & inserting a vastly inferior QB is just frustration speaking.

Mitch has been mostly terrible his entire career....A strong leader steps up and makes plays today....Mitch has never been a strong leader.....Play for the future even if Claeys has none.
This is a different argument. Leidner had been playing well up to this point THIS SEASON. You responded saying he had been sub-par in multiple games. Overall, yes. This season, no.
Exactly - They are going to play the guy they feel gives them the best shot of winning and clearly they still think that guy is Mitch as they aren't giving any of the other guys snaps in games.
Mitch hasn't been the problem in the other games this year but he had a terrible day today. I would fully expect to see Mitch under center next week and every week until the time comes when the coaches feel one of the backups is a better option. The real question is whether or not that day will come at some point this season.
Costa...The idea here is you let the vastly inferior QB get experience <b>in a lost year. </b>That way he has a chance of being somewhat competent next year. Although I'd argue plenty of freshmen QBs play D1 football and do just fine. All that said, I agree, we're stuck with Mitch until the end.
However, the coaches and players and most fans wouldn't consider 3-2 a lost season. It may get there, but it isn't there yet. Hey, I'm on board for starting Croft to see if the different style sparks something - but because what I saw today was atrocious not because I'm convinced we can't win another game.

We do not pull a redshirt on a lost season.
