I was hoping Bubba would start Bartels and play it off by saying that he wanted to let Joe fully recover. I have more confidence in Bartels, simply because he does not turn the ball over. Zero turnovers vs. Portland won us the game. With Joe, there is almost a certainty that there will be at least one pick a game, and we don't score enough on offense to make up for it. I think with a bad offense, limit turnovers and play Bartels.
However, last year we were complaining about Mussman's quarterback carousel. Now we want Bartels to play, but what if he plays a poor game? Back to Joe? I think we should be careful what we wish for and trust Bubba.
