I mean, the whole thing makes sense now...
Giving Cardale the starting job was the right thing to do after JT was out all spring and summer still rehabbing his injury, and gave Cardale the opportunity to build off the finish of last season. Meanwhile, JT is forced to earn his job back rather than it being handed to him, and allowed him some time to shake the rust off (which earlier in the year it was obvious there was some).
Now, 7 weeks in, it's obvious that Cardale isn't the better quarterback between the two with JT looking 100% healthy. The offense just suits JT better. Cardale looked good in those 3 games last year because Zeke was running for 200+ every game which allowed the field to open up for Devin Smith deep balls and guys like Spencer, Marshall, Corey Smith, and Heuerman/Vannett to get free underneath.
I'll be disappointed if Rutgers isn't the first team we drop 50+ on. They gave up 52 to Indiana in 3 quarters. It'll be interesting though how much they throw the ball. In the 34 plays that JT played against Penn State I believe only 4 were pass plays. It would be nice to see them open it up a little more... and I would like to see them get some carries out of the read option to Braxton and Samuel. I love Zeke, but they have some many weapons that running him 25-30 times a game just isn't necessary.
