I think you are victim of the Cal fan disease known as "the new guy is always better." You are ready to elevate a guy over drill work, but hold the incumbents to a higher standard.
I'm not immune to the disease: I was curious that McIlwain was getting the kind of reps that he is because somehow the staff holds out hope of him being eligible, and therefore, he becomes QB 1 the moment the NCAA gives them the go ahead. I also have had moments of believing "if Garbers is that close to the other two, then let him start, and have a lot of reps come league play."
But, the reality is (and Moraga and other observers are saying as much): trying to read tea leaves now gets you one thing.....tea.
You and that Moraga Bear guy need to stop with the enlightened, measured common sense. Have an opinion, for crying out loud! You'll NEVER get to be an on-air pundit the way you're going.
At least claim you've been to multiple practices and then state that Quarterback X is the most accurate, except for when he's not. We read BI for this sort of expertise/wisdom.
If you're still not clear, let me try again: Even though you (like me and most everybody else here) don't know 1% as much as the coaches about this, PICK A GUY and state your reasons! If you can't think of any reasons, just select from the following:
Quarterback W is the most athletic.
Quarterback X has the biggest upside and we're building for the future.
We need to win now and
Quarterback Y would be the best game manager in 2017.
You saw
Quarterback Z exhort his teammates on after a play in the Spring Game, just like Pawlowski once did.
(Don't forget to change the wording a bit, so it seems like your own observation.)
Now, try again and come back stronger, bro!
