I'm not buying the "Mack is only the #1 starter because he's been in the system longer" nonsense. And many here are looking at last year's performances. I thought both did pretty good last year in what little time we saw them. And Coach DeBoer has said both are lightyears ahead of where they were last year. They evaluate the players based on their performance in practice. Now, maybe Mack's performance is better than Russell's because he's been in system longer. But I doubt that has much to do with it. But the coaches are not going to start Mack, if Russell is clearly the better quarterback, simply because he's been in the system longer. They're going to start the QB who they believe will be most consistent winning games. And that comes from practice performances, and later game performance. It's not going to have anything at all to do with who's been in the system longest. That's nothing but bunk.
