John David Booty or Mark (Dirty) Sanchez?
Filed under: USC Trojan Football
Pete Carroll said yesterday that he would probably wait until Friday or Saturday to make a decision on who will start at quarterback for the USC Trojans this Saturday against Notre Dame.
Based on what I saw this last week from Mark Sanchez against Arizona, I think you start John David Booty.
I, like all USC Football fans, wanted to see what Mark Sanchez had and based on Saturday’s performance I would venture to say that Mark Sanchez is what John David Booty is and they’re both what the USC football team has become - ordinary.
Contrary to all the hype that both Sanchez and Booty have received neither of these quarterbacks is “special” and everything I’ve heard from the USC coaching staff leads me to believe that they don’t think and they’re not confident about turning the football over to Mark Sanchez.
John David Booty hasn’t performed particularly well this season and the fact that he’s a senior and that the USC coaching staff has been reluctant to hand over the reigns to Sophomore QB Mark Sanchez tells me something about Sanchez… it tells me he’s not the future at QB for the USC Trojans or at the very least it tells me that he’s not ready right now (his 3rd year with the program)…
What else are we supposed to think when we all know that the USC offensive line is decimated with injuries and Mark Sanchez is the more mobile QB?
Booty is an ordinary QB but unfortunately that’s what the Trojans need right now… the Trojans need someone to manage the game for them. They need someone to get the ball to the explosive players they have on offense - Joe McKnight, Stafon Johnson and Fred Davis.
What does it tell you about the USC football team when one of the most explosive players on offense is a tight end (Fred Davis)?
John David Booty or Mark Sanchez?
I don’t think it matters…
Stick someone in there who’s not going to turn the ball over, who can manage the game and who can get the ball to the explosive players on offense.
And Pete Carroll, don’t be afraid to bench an ineffective QB because neither of these guys is worth losing a game over.
