Over at the Duke Chronicle, Max Rego looks at Gunnar Holmberg’s success so far as Duke’s quarterback and asks: why didn’t he start last year?
It’s a fair question but it’s one that most people can’t answer and it underscores something that doesn’t get discussed much but it really should be and that’s this: most fans (and reporters, for that matter) lack the intimacy to pass judgment on those sorts of decisions.
This isn’t a slam on Rego. We generally enjoy his columns and he’s a good writer.
But you have to be very close to a program to make those sorts of judgments.
