Well, what it seems to be saying is that 1 )Helton wasn't paying attention, and 2) Browne wasn't getting results on the practice field. If so, shame on them, but I just don't think so. I don't put Helton and his staff in the hall of fame yet, but they don't seem to be idiots. You believe that they made the decision for insubstantial reasons. If so, they are idiots. I don't believe that. I guess neither of us know, so good decision/bad decision can't be judged.

Actually, no, this was distinctively odd -- numerous fan and reporter reports said Sam Darnold looked way better throughout the summer (and SC generally has lots of open practices, so plenty of sample size) and basically all went to bromides on justifying Browne. So it was pretty obvious the whole time Darnold was better.

Of course, SC under Helton has been very mediocre when not quarterbacked by Darnold -- if we're being honest, SC has been pretty mediocre so far in 2017 -- so "they're idiots" can't exactly be dismissed.
