When he was playing here, Desormeaux was an example of an athlete trying to play the QB position. That's why we ran the pretty much every play but when we played teams with good run defenses we got beat down. Wooldridge is not that, he's a QB through and through that just happens to be able to run the ball a little better than Fields. Something else to consider is that our offensive line isn't exactly seasoned and as I understand it, they've been struggling in camp. We also saw last year how Fields struggled behind a porous line and his height factored into that. There's also the fact that our receivers are largely inexperienced this year so Wooldridge seems to be the logical choice.
Prob1 of the best takes I’ve read in a long time
I get it if a line is struggling athleticism is needed . Maybe that factored into the decision .
. . . The Bird would say that is pretty important and goes hand in hand with level of ability to scramble when playing behind a G5 OL . . .
I’m pulling for every single player to compete at their God given best. Let the chips fall where they may. CMD probably should pick one, and only one to start and play the vast majority of the plays.
Hopefully none are paying attention to some of these useless debates.

Sorry to inform you they do pay attention to this site.

If CMD uses this site for any coaching decisions he’s not as smart as he needs to be.
I never said he uses this site for any coaching decisions. I said THEY as in players, coaches, administration staff, etc view this site and some even post on this site.
I’m pretty sure he said Ben was his starting quarterback. He had one extra comment about him being ready mentally. What that might mean was also transparent.
