That mentality is why we aren’t in the playoff- “he didn’t lose” the game

The Defense gave us a 9 point cushion and our QB seemed

. . . to say that "there is no honest person who could argue that putting CK2 in would have changed the trajectory of the SC game one bit."

That's clearly untrue. "What if's" are, of course, by definition, speculative. But that cuts both ways. If we assume it wouldn't have changed things or likely would not have, as some sort of default baseline, then that is equivalent to arguing - at a minimum, that CK would have done substantially the same as DJ. This is just as speculative as the opposite conclusion. It's speculation of a sort either way. So there is no such baseline assumption to rest on w/o also engaging in speculation.

But yes, I acknowledge it's speculative (technically speaking) to say CK would have or likely would have made a significant difference - maybe he would have played awful and the loss would have been even worse. But as reasonable inferences go based on the totality of what we've seen from Cade, and given how DJ was playing, there is plenty of reason for honest people to conclude that he would have "provided that spark"/verve, energy, crisp play, etc. and overcome the result of a failed drive or two. The loss was only by 1 point. It's absurd to suggest that there's no reasonable manner by which to argue that.

Thats kinda asinine. 8-29 passing isn't going to win you any games. That's putting yourself in a situation to lose to make yourself so one dimensional, even against a trash coot defense. Yeah the turnovers were the ultimate killer. And I even said that if we don't turn it over, we would win. I still stand on that but that's a big ask for a team that was turning it over like it was nobodies business in the 2nd half of the season. We saw DJ struggling like a fish on land and refused to do anything to change that. If Cade came in, I'm 99% certain we would've scored at least an extra 3-10 points and we would've won. You can't expect a QB to do that bad and expect a win, it's just not going to happen. Missing wide open receivers by miles is unexplainable and he did that a few times. He misread the option a few times as well. There's blame to go around for days in that game but DJ was most definitely the biggest culprit for losing that game and that's on the coaches. You can't change my mind that Cade coming in the 2nd half would have won us that game. When even Beamer was telling his team at halftime that DJ was going to "give them one", that's concerning as f###. Anybody with eyes knows DJ was the weakest link on the team that day and either Cade or heck even Hunter Johnson would have gave us better production.

But yes, let's turn the page. It's over and done with. Dabo and Streeter should never bring it up and feed us BS about it because they're just talking to themselves at that point and aren't convincing anyone.
