It's a moot point, but with Green we might have won a couple of the close ones, notably Purdue and Nebraska. Perhaps Stanford. Now, 5-7 is still not great, but it is better than that steaming pile of dog crap on top of the cake this year.
Green would have been ok, way better than what we've seen (say 90th best instead of 130th best). In fact, when he played last year, he was arguably our best 2nd string QB to play since, well, Trevor Siemian. Good enough for Fitz to continue the narrative of low risk, no mistakes, strip the ball, no penalties etc.
Doesn't excuse that they've not developed a QB recruit since 2016, and they can't seem to make use of the talent of Kyle Prater oops Hunter Johnson.
