From Homer Central – special emphasis on the derision in the comments as if this was somehow settled.

Sad to say, pharmacy homers, this really was never addressed satisfactorallily. Clark had a concussion. If Devlin was really “1B” instead of “second string”, there would have been absolutely no doubt he would have started against Iowa. Even a true second string at most schools with a sane coaching staff would have started in that game given Clark’s injury.

It truly is the kind of blind faith you guys claim you don’t have to pretend that the staff somehow knew more than everybody else in the world who saw Clark’s clearly compromised physical condition and decision-making ability on display against Iowa (when he played so well and so smart in every other game that year – and no, I’m not being sarcastic at all). The fact that we saw the same exact decision-making at play in last year’s Outback Bowl (as well as other times throughout Pe

Devlin did the only thing anybody with a non-concussed brain would have done after that season: assume correctly that the only way he would have played in a meaningful game the next year is if Clark was too injured to walk onto the field (which is, of course, the only way he played against Ohio State). While nobody owes you a starting job, there ought to also be an assumption that if you are the backup, that when the starter is compromised, you are the guy. Otherwise, why the hell are you there? It’s not a college kids’ responsibility to be nothing more than your insurance policy.

Grow up, homers. Grow up.

And if such a kid transfers, it’s not because they were afraid to compete – it’s because they know that if they fell even one percent short, it was over and done with even if the guy that beat them out ended up with impaired decision-making (or threw 48 intderpceptions).

Sad to say, illness homers, valeologist this really was never addressed satisfactorallily. Clark had a concussion.
