McNulty, young Seneca Wallace?

It's something. But, I know this much - coaches and players like to win. And, if a guy isn't getting the job done, coaches normally bench him and give someone else a shot.

Texas cut loose Gilbert, their initial starter, to save their season. There's no shame in giving one of your other players a try if your chosen one can't do it.

During the games Thompson has missed or been injured, McNulty simply hasn't moved the ball. This isn't opinion, it's fact.

If McCarney wants to win, he'll try someone else after Thompson instead of McNulty. If he wants to rebuild, he'll throw 2011 down the drain when he's "forced" to play McNulty because of injury.

Or it could be that if your going to invest playing time for a QB, let it be in someone you're going to have for four years instead of just two.

So why would you ever play a JUCO over a freshman?

I think it is safe to say that DT is injury prone. I'm surprised he has lasted this long.

The "years of eligibility argument" is ridiculous.

Then why did we even recruit Osbourne?

Exactly. No JUCO QB would ever be signed if year of eligibility were in questions.

What you want is a guy who gives you a chance to win. McNulty hasn't even come close to doing that.

The unfortunate thing about the quarterback position is that, sooner or later, you are going to have to make a play with your arm. It's a harsh, harsh reality, I know...but, it's the football truth.

Whatever McNulty may or may not be capable of in 2013 or 2014, he is not capable of moving the offense with his arm in 2011. Not even close.

Again, stick Osborn in there. If he also fails, then we simply know we have pretty much zero QB talent on the roster. But, at least give him a chance to give the team a chance. We've seen McNulty the Practice Heisman in crunch time. Now let us see Osborn when the game is still in the balance.
