Can someone explain to me the rationale behind starting Shaw today?

You don't know that...just talking out your butt. If we had an avg. defense, we'd probably have a different offense, gameplan, and strategy.
But go ahead and be sick of hearing about 9-2....

I'm not sick of hearing about our winning record, I'm sick of people using it to silence criticism of the problems we have at the QB position.

I don't dislike Shaw and actually have great respect for his work ethic and dedication, but he has not been the catalyst for those wins. Our defense deserves a great deal of the credit. That's just a fact.

I will say that I think he was the catalyst for the Clemson win last year. He played lights out in that game and really gave me hope for the future. Unfortunately he has regressed and still can't seem to go through his reads and find the open guy. I look forward to us having a pocket passer that will allow SOS to run the offense he's such a genius with.

Of course none of this has anything to do with the topic of the thread, which was the poor decision to start Shaw when he needs to get healthy.
