The clock is ticking, his 114 passer rating (inflated by an FCS opponent) is still very paltry and puts him in company with players like Drew Miller, Jason Beck, Jake Heaps, Bob Jensen, and Matt Berry. All were either career backups forced into games by injuries or quickly replaced as starters by players who could move the team and score points.

Less than 20 ppg and a passer rating below 100 vs FBS competition isn’t going to get it done, when you add in the turnovers it’s pretty surprising he’s still in there
