Just going on memory of the practice reports by Nemec and others right about the time Luton was named starter. Perhaps you had a different view/memory of who was getting reps the weeks leading up to McMaryion’s departure. No depth chart published, only assumed by hack sports writers and Benny’s House folks. Either way, like was said, it doesn’t matter. It worked out for him and not for OSU. Not sure why he keeps the dialogue going. Move on. Luton? Colletto? Blount? So be it, that’s what we got. You either didn't read the article, or didn't understand it. McMaryion was writing for a Christian blog. His entire essay was how his faith in God kept him going during a difficult time in his life. The reason for keeping the dialogue going was to tell a story of adversity and how is faith kept him moving forward. It was out of his words on this article we say 3rd string. It was his word that despite his effort in 2016, after one week of camp in 2017 Luton was named the starter and he was 3rd string. So, you are basically calling 3M a liar. More over, it is as if you didn't watch any of the last 3 years. GA would of put in the waterboy over 3M if he could.

What is with this "3rd string propaganda" bulls%#t? Are you honestly trying to say 3M was NOT treated unfairly? or that somehow he was not buried on the depth chart and this is just all some big misunderstanding? Because if that REALLY your claim... Man, I just don't even know what to say. I'll just drop it here and now. there is no possible way I can argue back at that.

It was pretty obvious GA had peculiar ideas about who should get playing time. If it wasn't mystery injuries, like Storm or others had, it was something else. You could tell by the change in attitude of much of the team within days of his leaving that things were dragging a lot of players down.
Coaches will always have their favorites, and there will always be at least a few players feeling slighted, but there were sooooo many examples of good players being run off that it's tough not to fault the last set of coaches here. I'm glad that era is over and JS made a clean break of it when choosing new staff.

It seems like you’re so wrapped up in this that you didn’t read my opening post very well. “I do agree with the opinion that he got the shaft. I think he and Luton were damn close, but you have to go with the incumbent, especially coming off the huge CW win.” So no. That’s not what I said or what I’m saying. I’m saying he’s gone. GA is gone. Those seasons are mercifully gone. Let them go, and quit dredging it up. That is what I’m saying not to you, but in general with my post. I’m not sure how you can argue with that but if you want to, have at it. I’m at a Jr Olympic track meet. I got nothin’ but time!

It’s all in past now. I feel for 3M. All he did was try to win position, be a good teammate. But time to move on.... forget CGA. It’ll be good for your psyche. Hey, I finally got over my national championship celebration hangover, what's this CGA thing you guys are talking about?

'Strikes me that we didn't, and still don't, have a PAC12-quality QB on our roster. Crap.

Sure we do...he's the Coach! Then again, no one thought he was a Pac-10 caliber QB when he got here. Looking back, I thought it was more than a shaft when 3M didn't get the starting spot based on the finish to the season and the CW win. Spelled doom for the team chemistry and, more importantly, for fan cohesion (insert sarcastic snark emoji here). But that is the past. Let's see how the future plays out.

Hey just quick note because you might be kind of new, the proper notation is McM, not 3M. Thanks

Jeez, Cheese, I'm older than the hills. Read more than I post...took years, but I finally learned to keep my mouth shut and let people just think I was stupid instead of proving it to them. Won't be kicking that dead horse any more anyway (bruises the meat something awful and makes the steaks tough). Reality says we got no shot this year. Time to sprinkle a few remaining drops of the magic water we got from that Georgia Southern fan/convert umpteen years ago and make something special happen!

While I said Luton signing never should of happened... I do believe he is our best QB and I do believe CJS can work a little magic with him. We will have a Pac-12 caliber QB this year.

We’d better have two. Mannion was never really the same after his injury, and I don’t think Luton is the caliber of Mannion. And his first game is against a semi-pro team in hostile territory. Ouch! I still don’t understand why Luton is back after sustaining such a close call! I feel for his parents!!
