We are LUCKY to be undefeated, but that has nothing to do with Spencer Sanders. This defense is good enough to win a conference championship. However with Spencer Sanders behind center we will NOT reach our potential.
For those of you that say Shane isn't good enough, he was a true freshman last year and this season he was thrust into the first game of the season without many reps. Imagine if Shane was actually splitting reps, his development would be much further along. Additionally, the coaches resorted back to using the Spencer Sander's playbook after that first series in the first game (which makes no sense since they have completely different skill sets). Shane can throw just about any throw and isn't limited to a deep pass or screen pass like the Spencer Sanders offense.
I've seen enough of Shane to know he is more accurate, actually checks down to 2nd and 3rd receivers, doesn't stare down his primary receiver, has a quick release and doesn't hold the ball too long, makes far better decisions with the football, and actually can throw open a receiver.
