Promoting Mediocrity

I'm not even gonna lie, I am blown away right now with reactions on both sides of this LT thing. Let me start by saying that I almost never check this site on Saturdays to make sure that my opinions are not emotion based.

With regards to loyalty or devotion to your team, if you decided to stop attending games or watching on tv or buying merchandise, then this would be considered turning ur back on ur team and therefore you should be stoned. But as fans it is completely natural to express ur exhilaration and sometimes dissatisfaction with your team; thats sports.

Right now some people need to look at this situation through clear eyes and ask themselves what LT has done or is currently doing to deserve an unopposed 8 turnover two game stretch. I don't get it, the kid turned the ball over 8 times in 2 weeks against Duke and BC (hardly the top 2 defenses in the country), also considering the lack of exceptional performance over the last two season what more is there to discuss? I am not the guy that will ask to overhaul the entire offense after two weeks but to ignore this facts to me speaks of mediocrity.

Whether Leofler's offense needs time to gel or lack of running game or whatever, doesn't excuse ur RS senior QB from making these rookie decisions and I firmly believe that in order to raise the expectation level, everyone should be held accountable. LT came here to compete, when his performance drops he should be challenged; otherwise we are basically saying to recruits that competition ends at summer camp. I don't know that a WR with 8 drops or a RB with 8 fumbles get the same pass so I'm not sure why LT's is acceptable. It doesn't make sense. Try another guy and see what he gives you before you close the book on your bench. We've all seen guys who were terrible practice guys completely go off when the lights come on, so its impossible to say this is what we have until you've seen it.

So I'm not saying we should close the book on the season or shut LT down for good, but there has to be some accountability for poor QB performance, and that should be giving the opportunity to competition. There is NO WAY you can argue to me that 8 turnovers in 2 games gives you the best chance to win without sounding like a crazy person. Not throwing the ball at all probably gave us a better chance to win, at least against duke.
