I think West's gave him no choice. It's gotta be McKee's time, even if it's with a short-ish leash
Agree with Phogge that it doesn't matter what I think
Short leash? So, then, you trot West back out there? I don't think so. You ride your best horse until it caves in. You let him make mistakes. You let him make some good plays. You don't yank him. If you do, you blow up his confidence and continue to let the other guy show why he was on the bench. You lose. You fall further into irrelevance. Stanford now starts a QB who's earned the starting role. Let him compete against USC and not his back-up. McKee may not beat the Trojans but at the end of the day he will have more reps, four more quarters and the experience of a complete game going into Nashville next week. You beat Vandy, come home pumped up for UCLA and putting on home uniforms hearing suddenly energized Bruin fans berating you and...who knows?? This team's oxygen is adversity, right?
Life is too short to waste on crap football.
