look like they made a mistake in choice of starter.
Harbaugh dumped his starter who got him to the CFP in 2021, to start his better QB in 2022, almost made the CFP final that year and won it all in 2023, his QB highly drafted, while the former QB1, Cade McNamara, is still in college trying to get enough success to get drafted.
Covey had one more year of eligibility in 1989, but Detmer was already the better QB in 1988 and came in every game but 1 and then started the bowl game.
A QB at 75% will hurt the team and shouldn't play unless the backup is awful (which is also on the coaches). Let the QB1 rest and heal and use QB2 for the intended purpose.
