I could see both Golson and Hendrix turning out to be really great players with experience during game action. I believe that whoever starts needs a pretty long leash, which would be more than the first half of the Navy game. It is probably pretty hard to play the position feeling that you are one turnover away from being pulled for someone else. I believe this was part of Hendrix's problem last year, as he more than likely never felt like Coach Kelly was 100% in his corner.
I would take Florida State as an example. I believe in the first half, when he took the field for his first series, he drove down the field to get into scoring range. I believe there was a change of possession shortly thereafter, and then Rees took the field the next series. Hendrix seemed to have something going on his initial drive, and was subsequently yanked for Rees. I still feel that if patience was taken with Hendrix he would have had a decently successful game.
The point is that constantly interchanging quarterbacks can sometimes be a detriment to the team. In a situation such as this it shows a lack of confidence in the quarterback, and without belief from those in charge it would be hard to expect great results. Ultimately, whoever wins the job coming out of fall camp needs to have total support from the staff. Let them take their lumps, but give them time to learn.
