Find me a coach that would tolerate what we've seen thus far from the QB position.
Les Miles (LSU 2010) - team finished the season ranked #8 in the nation, with an 11-2 record, and played in the National Championship game the next year. Heard of him/them?
Thanks to a great final game in the Cotton Bowl, in which he threw 3 TDs, Jordan Jefferson (who recently reintroduced himself to his local police department), finished the season completing 56% of his passes for 6.75 yards/attempt and 7 TDs (including the aforementioned 3) against 10 INTs. Makes Nunes look like Peyton Manning!?!Â
Ohh... and while that apparent-idiot, Les Miles, started him in all 13 games that seaon, Jarrett Lee played in 12 of them (since all smart coaches do that when their starter struggles). Lee threw all of 2 TDs and had a Y/A ratio of 6.44.
I'm not saying Shaw is right. May he is just plain stubborn? I don't know him personally, but neither do most of you, and I'm confident that he's seen our alternatives run this offense a few more times than any of us have. Maybe he just doesn't want to win games, so he's intentionally keeping his best QB option off of the field?!?
Y'all... let's just accept the fact that we're playing Es-Ee-See football (great defense with an often-frustrating offense) this season! While I'm still sorely disappointed by the Washington loss, I'll take were where are in the Pac-12 standings and national rankings right now -- Go Cardinal!

One thing I can add with a fair degree of confidence: Nunes will probably not spend this weekend in prison!Â

Now back to the speculation...
Maybe Shaw isn't completely stubborn?
Maybe he did keep watching his players practice after the Cardinal-White scrimmage?
Maybe he does want to win these games too?
Maybe the simple absence of Nunes from the huddle will lead us to the BCS Championship to which we are inherently entitled!!! :D
