A healthy Wells has always been our best option, IMO. However, that option hasn't existed since the spring, and maybe not even then. He is NOT healthy. Plus, you dump a young man that had worked hard for you, going out and bringing in a run/throw guy for JC and then giving the job to a run first, maybe throw if he must, classmate and you expect the guy to be loyal? You gain loyalty be being loyal. We shafted Hunter; he is going to shaft us. Like it, don't like it, but live with it.
I'm also not sure you are blaming the right guy in Monty. He scored a ton of points under Wolford. Look it up. When Bo came in and made him go to a running QB, the wheels have really come off. I think the change in QB style was executed by Pelini and he will ultimately need to answer for the ineptitude.
