In 2008, they didn't even have one QB who was ready to play the position, yet they went to the ACCCG.



Wade was more ready to play than Crane? This is an eepstienOlike opinion. Have you showered with the team?

Did I say that? Didn't think so.

Furthermore, I wasn't comparing Wade to Crane. I was responding to the comment that it was "a difficult to imagine situation for a team in a major college conference" to have "only one QB on the roster ready to play the position in college". I don't know whether or not Wade was ready to play last year. Too small of a sample size. However, my comment pointed to the fact that in 2008, BC went to the ACCCG without a QB ready to play major college football. Maybe you are misremembering his effectiveness, but Crane was not able, despite his four years in the program. Dom Davis, Crane's backup, despite what he did after transferring, was on par with Wade's three backups. Despite all of this, BC did not go winless in the ACC. They went to the ACC Championship Game.
