I can only go back to my post about our defense being the strength of the team and needing the offense to be able to run the ball to compliment them. Ben gives us a running game that we don’t have with our line and backs. With Chandler we eliminate the ability to run.
I don’t know what words CMD made with his QBs. But we are in the bottom half of our division and have to play our best football to have a chance to win the division here on out. You play the guys that give you the best chance to win. I believe that would give CMD way more credibility with the whole team although admittedly I don’t know all the internal details.
I say this with the belief that Chandler has superior arm talent and passing ability than Ben. I have wanted Chandler to be the sole starter all year. The Marshall game, although far from perfect, was the best the team has looked and it was against arguably the best competition and on the road. I can’t ignore that.
