Pulling the redshirt and starting him tomorrow night.

"Welcome to the SEC, Shea! Oh by the way we're gonna need you to beat a Top 10 team on the road in your first game and win two of the next three to get to a bowl game because we are terrible."

If he is the golden boy they have deemed him to be, there is no better chance to show it than that scenario you laid out.

Pellerin must suck balls. Bet he wonders why the hell he even bothered showing up.

I don't see the problem here, I think it's the right move. This season is shot, get some reps for next year and even still, I guarantee you Patterson is your better option for immediate winning over Pellerin.

You're risking an awful lot on a guy that has never taken a snap.

I don't think playing him is an issue, but never even giving Pellerin a chance to start is kind of a BS move.

Honestly I agree I would probably start Pellerin first and see what he can do. But it also depends on who was best at practice.

Reverend Freezus Christ : "I prayed about it and God wants me to do what is best for me and not do what is best for my players...so I am throwing Shea Patterson to the Wolves and the Philistines. Hobby Lobby! Lord help me get to a Bowl."

It's the right decision. If they suck these last 3 games with the QB of the future on the bench that would not sit well with the fanbase. Patterson is probably an early entry guy. The only reason to RS him was because he had no chance to beat out Chad Kelly. Now he is the best QB on the team and you have to play him.

Serious question. Can a former 5 star QB be a RAT?

I don't want to think it's possible, but Damian Williams almost won an Egg Bowl.

Tebow disagrees. I wonder how Strat feels?*

Does this upset Rev. Freeze's hypocritical apple cart?

Well, if he were intending to -- this would add 3 games to his career. So...

Why would this affect his ability to transfer? I also haven't been paying much attention, so explain it to me.

I despise the UM culture, play him. If he does well, good for him, honestly. The ceiling of his play is chad kelly, who knows what the bottom is. Kelly had 4 years of previous college years to depend on in making decisions about reading defense. Going against UM D first team, Patterson hasn't seen anything.

If I was looking out for him and my team, knowing social media if he bombs, there is no way I play him in this game.

I still say there's a decent chance this is just a ploy to get A&M to waste time preparing for him. It's not beyond Freeze to spread inaccurate information for his own benefit.

Why make it public Friday then? To me if it's a ploy you do it Monday; if it's legit you do it Friday or don't announce at all. We shall see I guess.

The announcement is for their fanbase only and sends a bad message to any future backup QB. He should have kept it quiet and practiced both, letting that get out to future opponents. Then let Pellerin start and see what happens in the first few series, THEN put in Shea.

It's a horrible move as a coach for both current and future players.

If Patterson is your best available QB, you start him. It's that simple. Of course, if he's your best available QB, he should have been the one getting snaps in September instead of Pellerin.
