So, we are all so sure Garcia will be better than King just like we thought Perry would be the answer over Rosier in 2018 and Williams would be the answer over Perry in 2019? And this is based on the large sample size of a spring game and the stats we read in 2 fall scrimmages? How about we give the guy a series or 2 against a live pass rush in an actual college game before he's given a starting nod?
Another thing to keep in mind, we have complained each year about guys giving half-*** performances, not putting in the work, and leaving early. Here is a guy who blew his knee out in the last game. He made a commitment to come back for another year, which helped lead to other guys coming back. He is known as the "leader" of the team and an excellent example both on and off the field for his teammates. You're going to go ahead and take his starting job away in essence for 2 bad games (one of which was against Bama)? What does that show to the rest of the team?
Look, I'm not saying King is untouchable forever. I'm just saying there are other guys on this team who should have snaps taken away from them due to their lackadaisical play and sense of entitlement. To me, that is the biggest issue for this team. They don't respect Manny or his discipline. I'm all for Manny tightening the screws on those players. I just don't think the time is right to do it to King. If the Canes had more players with King's attitude, preparation, and heart, the Canes would be in much better shape.
