Why would you say that? I actually marked Fox as starting before they even made the announcement that he would be. If Jordan Fox has been playing well enough to start ahead of Gabe Reid (which he has), then why not go with that? In other words, why root for Reid to "step up" and not for Fox? I have yet to see Reid display any "game wrecking" ability at the college level. If he did, or if Fox did, I'd be thrilled, of course.
-m.
Reid seems to have the most upside from my vantage point. Who knows if he can put it all together to be "that" guy, but I always want the coaches to have difficulty deciding who should play because all the options are so good. If Fox is so good nobody else can get many meaningful snaps, that would be great too.
