Jake is in a boot. Word is it is a significant injury though nobody seems to know what or when it happened. Ryan is taking first team reps.
Right.
Assuming that is true (the boot thing), I'd imagine Bentley is going to "medshirt" and transfer portal somewhere else next season (assuming Hilinski does well).
If Hilinski flops, then I imagine he magically gets better. Or maybe they try Joyner.
I'm not happy with any of this. Bentley is what he is. Maybe Muschamp ruined him. Maybe Muschamp meddles in the offense (he honestly doesn't seem animated enough anymore to be doing that, but you never know).
But while Bentley doesn't seem terribly mature, he hasn't deserved the savaging he's gotten.
Maybe I'm guilty of that too. But I'm not so sure at this point I'm too fond of some of our other players either, based upon their social media activity.
That whole McElwain thing could have blown up in Muschamp's face, though it didn't.
Will say this is either cowardice or genius (maybe both). But if we had some kind of clown player revolt or Missouri BS, I hope the new President would show some spine and tell them where the door is. And if Muschamp (or Tanner) wanted to "Pinkel" I hope that would actually be grounds for firing.
No matter how many it is, who they are, or what happens to the football team. Tired of this tail wagging the dog.

I agree with you Sunbeam. That's when I heard the worrisome news yesterday my first thought went back to the revolt under Sparky Woods that benches a legacy QB in Wright Mitchell and jump started the career of Taneyhill.
It's almost identical. The feigned injury, the announcement of Taneyhill getting the start. The rest is history.
But think about how Bentley earned his first start and McElwain immediately transferring.
These things happen in college football but I'll say it over and over again, Bentley is the scape goat here. He is not a big time game winning QB but there are 100 other things that went wrong that were not his fault.
Horn putting all the blame on Bentley when Horn let a sure gifted interception slip right through his hands is disingenuous and hypocritical at the very least and what some over there, on that team, are forgetting is that Jake has his posse too .... teammates that are very loyal to him.
How the coaches handle this .... I dunno. Not sure if they are even capable. I get Edwards being miffed too but he dropped two passes he really should have caught.
Rico is not a big time back. He missed some blocks (which is why the coaches are now saying he started and why Mon didn't play) and he (Rico) did not run with authority IMHO.
