Baby will be on the field, Daddy will find a way.
People are really looking way too into this interview.
I really don't think people are reading too much into the quotes. Remember, CH got yanked in '08 and a true frosh was moved from scout team to first team because it was TOO obvious that was a BIG part of the offensive problem. I gave DH a great deal of credit for biting the bullet there, that could not have been easy. CH was back at the helm shortly thereafter though. People always point to how he "saved" CU v. ISU. The very fact CU has to be saved against ISU speaks volumes, but go look at that game closely. CH was 23-28 I think. 17 or so of those passes were dumps to Sumler over the middle v. ISU prevent. ISU was geared up to play a running QB and the switch to CH caught them flat footed. Good move by the staff, but still had to hold on for dear life against a late challenge by ISU. CH played OK v. NU.
Then over the spring and fall camp we hear about a spirited competition, neck and neck and all that crap. Then CH gets EVERY snap for four and half games. Three of them are losses, well four if you count UT, including an embarassing blowout to Toledo. Toledo, I still can't believe that. The point is as far back as '08, even the staff was looking to upgrade at QB, but somehow, CH keeps getting starts. Putting him in at KjSU was a laugher last year. Two drives. First drive was THREE pass plays in a row. TWO would have been picks if the KjSU DB's had not soaked their hands in novocaine. The second drive was dump the ball over the middle while KjSU traded space for time, get into the red zone, KjSU applies pressure and voila, another panic INT.
Now we are hearing just a "sliver" of difference and I guarantee you, we'll hear some variation of "You can't buy experince like a fifth year senior, what are we supposed to do, not utilize that?" as a rationale for CH getting more PT. I think he is probably a great kid, but PT should be based on ability at this level, and unfortunately CH is too easy to defend for reasons stated a million times on this board. The more time goes by the more DH appears to revert to his prior opinion on the QB situation. Give him the summer to think about it and I would not be surprised if he concludes CH is the best option.
CU nees to go in another direction at QB. CH had his shot and has largely been ineffective since mid-'07 IMO. It's just too easy to defend a team that can't go deep over the middle and a QB who is essentially a statue.
