This is his last year, you play who gives you the best chance to win,they will be be looking for another QB in the Portal anyway .Are you playing to win or not to hurt someone's feelings .Paddock has more experience and has better pocket presence and gives you a better chance to win in my opinion.You can't keep turning the ball over. Paddock has the Hot Hand,go with Paddock(I fully expect them to go back to Altmyer if he can play,again I'm just stating my Opinion)
I am sorry, but you are out of your mind if you truly believe that Paddock gives the best chance of winning. Paddock had the drive of his career, but it was literally only 3 plays, and I think it was more about terrible Minnesota defensive strategy than anything else. Now if Altmyer has a major injury going into Saturday, then the calculus changes.
The way you talk, one would think that Altmyer had a complete trash game, which is ludicrous. Altmyer went 24/31 for 212 yards and 3 TD passes. Yes, he had that one "bad interception", but it was a good defensive play. Altmyer is a young QB, and as a young QB he makes some head scratching mistakes at times instead of throwing the ball away; however, it is clear as day that the Illini offense has the best chance of success with Altmyer behind center. Period.
