I gotta disagree. We're talking about college kids, not professionals. It is the coaches' JOB to put them in positions to succeed.

If your stud, the one YOU named QB1, is too hurt to perform at his normal level (and it's clear that he was in the OM game), YOU have to make that call as coaches to get him out of there before he hurts himself further, hurts his draft stock, hurts the team, hurts his confidence. I don't care if he has tears streaming down his face, pleading to go back into the game and play through the pain (as has been ingrained within him to do likely since the first time he stepped foot on the gridiron), you override him and make sure folks know that he was compromised. It's not coddling--it's common (and professional) courtesy. That's one of the traits coaches are supposed to impart upon their charges--professionalism.

There is no way under the sun to spin this into somehow being Kyle's fault unless it comes out that he was an impertinent terror behind the scenes (a highly unlikely scenario given how he's conducted himself in the public light in spite of the upheaval at his position that had little to do with him).

Amen. Managers do this almost every single game in baseball. If a guy's jacked up, he sits.
