To respond to the last two posts, first I think he will have a pretty long leash. What I mean is that the first two games will be against Top 15 opponents. If we go 0-2, that is not exactly shocking. I think he at least gets through the two cupcake games as the starter. I would think he would have to look absolutely terrible in the first two games and absolutely average to below average in the next two before KF is willing to consider a change. As we saw from the Christensen and Ruddock situations, KF usually gets to the right QB, but takes a few too many games to get there.
On regression of sophomore starters, my memory of Tate/Stanzi/CJB is that they were good their first season, really good their junior years, and regressed their senior years. Certainly injuries played a part in some of that. But, I think with each of them we came in with sky high expectations their senior years and were disappointed. Stanley somewhat bucked that trend.
I have tempered expectations of Petras. I just think he will look like he did the last couple games. 2-3 TDs, 1 turnover, 240 yards. Solid, but not spectacular.
