You’ll have to wait for the person that said it to reply to your question, but your rebuttal is elementary so I wouldn’t expect them to engage with you.
Would seem weird considering last year we played a lot of guys, Big Dan got a TD!
Haha. Ok. I just don’t understand not playing Morgan because his career is over here after the game but playing other guys. Unless the only position we need to develop is QB.
I’d play whoever gives the best chance to win. I don’t think it’s Tanner. But to say he shouldn’t play because he won’t be here next year then want them to play Mo and JMS is disingenuous.
Let Tanner Morgan get some snaps in the game. Preserve him for the Hula Bowl. Mariano Sori-Marin will also be playing in the Hula Bowl.
I'd play both because they've both earned it. Give Syracuse 2 qbs to prepare for.
What does Tanner bring to the table that athan doesn't?
Accuracy and experience.
experience is about the only thing but when it comes down to syracuse preparing for 2 Qbs to play I don't really see how tanner will cause them fits compared to AK in the gameplan
No, they shouldn’t. Google “nuance”.
I struggle to see why Morgan shouldn’t play but other departing players should.
AK touches the ball every play. Won the Nebraska game while Tanner could not. Mo also has a ton of value. I think Evans should play too. If Tanner wants to do a kneel down or a series that’s fine. Heck play Knuth for a series.
QBR is pretty worthless.
Ok. Play the guy that wasn’t awful 3 of his last 4 starts.
Sure, had nothing to do with how the o-line played in those games. Athan looked as bad or worse as Morgan did in a couple games too when the o-line broke down. All comes down the o-line.
I don’t think Morgan was awful vs Purdue. Illinois and Nebraska weren’t good. I think most agree that AK needs to play and I assume he will get the majority of snaps. I think the only realistic debate is if Morgan will be given an honorary drive, just a snap, or nothing.
But we have to thank Tanner for 2019. Again. How else will he feel appreciated?
Morgan hasn't earned anything this year, and I don't feel compelled to reward someone with significant playing time because of stuff that happened in previous seasons. Tanner was rewarded during those seasons. Athan till garbage time.
It’s not a binary choice and both can play. I think we kick their ass, Mo goona punish them in the first half and then slid In Morgan in for a series and victory snaps in second half
Wrong. As always, you put your best team on the field. As always, the objective is to win. A bowl victory is the best preparation for next year.
Any other departing player who was replaced during the regular season by a younger and more capable player who helped the team win games, should also not play (until the game is put away).
I know this post was tongue-in-cheek, but I don't think anyone is against Tanner coming into the game .... at some point.
I question even more that Morgan actually wants to see the field late in mop up duty. That's demeaning to a QB of his career record. He may well prefer to see Knuth in that scenario.
I agree. But the reasoning needs to be applied across the board.
I think if posters want to look to next year they shouldn’t want departing players to play. Mo doesn’t help the team next year. Unless he finds eligibility in his stocking.
