I'm a big believer in trying someone else if the guy you have is obviously not getting the job done. At least with the new guy, you have some hope. Alviti was said to be much improved in the Spring. This idea that the coaches know best and are infallible is pure bull. Especially when it comes to QB personnel decisions. You know why? Exhibit 1: The Brewfka experiment while CJ Bacher sat on the bench. Fitz didn't even know who was going to start until the day before when CJ came in and completely transformed our offense. Exhibit 2: The Colter travesty. Playing a WR when your best QB (an NFL starter at that) sat on the bench. I'm sorry, but I simply don't trust this staff's judgment when it comes to QB personnel.
The fact that Thorson's biggest remaining supporters are the same people who still think Colter was the right QB for NU pretty much says it all. Don't sweat it - they said the same thing about not understanding football when they insisted Colter should start over an NFL starter. Somehow, they are the ones that understand football and the QB position and not John Elway or Gary Kubiak. Thorson may have "the tools" to one day be great, but he isn't there yet. And this notion that you keep him in there until he gets it to give him more reps isn't fair to the others on the team who want to win now. Try Alviti or someone else, and see what we have. Maybe nothing. Maybe something. If we don't, I'll tell you what we have - craptasticism. Thorson makes Colter look like a real QB. What do we have to lose?
