re: Watched the 2013 SEC ship game

I still have high hopes for White, but it's clear he was victimized by poor development last year. And its as much JJ's fault as it is Gustav/Lashlee's.

I'm pretty sure the plan was to play SW extensively in the 2nd half of the Jax State game, but JJ's herp derp act made that impossible. Then came LSU, when throwing him to the wolves on the road was probably considered early on, until it became obvious that we were going to get monkey-hammered either way. Then came MSU, where his very first collegiate snap came as the starter.

I look at White as a Brandon Cox type QB, fully capable of winning 10+ games a season as a starter. Unlike Cox, however, his initial experience came not as a backup to a record-setting SR on an undefeated juggernaut of a team, but thrust into a starting role out of desperation because the presumptive Heisman candidate was a spectacular failure.
