makes a change at QB, it will be the end of the Jeremy Johnson era. There isn't going to be this back and forth BS that some of y'all think is the way to go.
This is a complicated decision. Jeremy Johnson has NFL 1st round measurables. If CGM can get him to live up to his potential, the program stands to benefit from a QB that will be a NFL starter. "If" is a key word, yes. But it still is the situation. The future of the program would benefit from him progressing.
However! -- let's say that JJ isn't that guy -- and can't be that guy -- and Sean White is the eventual starting QB for the Auburn Tigers in 2015. Once that decision is made, you have to move beyond JJ. There is a decision point that abandons the Plan "A" and there is no going back. You have "wrecked" the confidence of a kid and said, sorry football isn't for you...you're done. And full attention turns to developing SW to be "THE" guy. Major change for a program...MAJOR change.
It is a huge decision that has implications beyond the flippant "Bench JJ" that the Bunker is shouting from behind their mighty computer screens. I trust that CGM is going to mix things up and open the playbook against LSU (like he did in the Iron Bowl last year).
PS If you watch the JSU game we dominated offensively and defensively during the 4Q, sans turnovers, which is obviously what we have to correct. The sky is not falling people.
