You keep ignoring the fact that a QB with different skills and tools can help overcome a patchwork offensive line.
Defenses can put 9 men in the box against Cody and ignore the rest of the field because they know he ain't gonna beat em deep and he can't throw the quick slants or screens.
Maybe a QB who can open up the field, can take pressure off the line. What we're doing now is obviously not working, so why not try something different. You can't change players on the line, because you're out of players, our receivers, for all intents and purposes are interchangeable, with our one deep threat on the bench for most of the game (which I'm not going to go into here), and our backs are known quantities. The only unknown quantity, the MIGHT turn things around and take pressure off the line is the QB position. With the O-line in the shambles that it's in right now, if they keep trotting Cody out there they are staring down the barrel of missing a bowl game. There is NO REASON for defenses NOT to stack the line of scrimmage and blitz their brains out with Cody in there.
Changing QB's may not make a difference at all, but it certainly can't hurt to try, because throwing the same crap out there every game and shrugging your shoulders and blaming the offensive ineptitude on the line is NOT an acceptable answer.
Hell, at this point, I just want to see them try ANYTHING different, because right now, the coaches are just beating their heads against a brick wall with the same crap game after game.
EDIT:
Everyone's just shrugging their shoulders and accepting that the QB plahy is bad because of the O-Line. We can't improve the O-Line midway through the season, so the answer is to just accept it and not try something that might change things?
Hawk may want to win and believes he's doing what's best. But if I had someone working for me who kept doing the same thing and kept failing, without changing anything, and falling back on excuses, I'd fire him. I want to see changes to compensate for a bad o-line, and not just excuse everything on a bad o-line. We're not seeing it in the personnel, game planning or play calling.
EDIT 2:
It's been said around here before. I think with a healthy line, Cody would probably be fine. Because of his skillset though, a patchwork o-line hurts him much more than the same line would affect a QB that could make the throws you need to make in that situation and move on his feet.
