Marc Trestman has more football knowledge in a clipping from his TOENAIL than you do, whomever he decides to start will be the proper call. I love your passion for Cody, but stop pretending you know how to make this call. NONE of us Argofan posters have the knowledge or experience that Coach Trestman and his staff have.
That said, I liked a kid named John Congemi, and always was cheering for him to play more. We all are entitled to our favs

Was quite a reach to say he is not ready, opinions are great but you made it sound if you saw something in his play that determined he was somehow not up to it. He has been virtually perfect in short yardage, and the one time he gets in , plays 4th qtr, cold with no reps off the bench, did a darn fine job, 6 0f 11 for 75 yards, a long bomb to Green, another he should have had, took the team to 2 field goals, rushed for 55 yards, including nice td run, on top of that he threw basically the equivalent of a TD pass for successful 2 point conversion.
Imagine what he would have done with reps, now it looks like he will basically be demoted while Mathews gets to go in with reps, simply unfair to me.
And yes it takes me back to former managements, such as forcing Kerry Joseph on a coach that did not want him, coach Stubler was quite happy with Bishop so were the players

Milanovich and Barker trading away the big 3 saying they were trouble makers
My sister has season tickets, I did years ago but am north as a care giver to loved one, she says in her section they are all high on Cody, she and her 3 friends that go to all games feel the same as i, and they state it`s like that in her entire section, comments such as Hey this Cody Fajardo is the real deal, along those lines, so for the team to shiet on cody is just unsportsmanlike
I might even argue same idea as Flutie being benched in Buffalo for Rob Johnson after Flutie took them to playoffs, Big named qbs in states such as Steve Young stated it was just bad for football to do such a thing. If Cody does not start they are crapping on him, no 2 ways about it

Wanna bet all the Ted White fans were saying the same thing about Anthony Calvillio getting all the reps?
HAHA....your very entertaining

The coaches are really the only ones who have seen enough of both Fajardo and Matthews to make a fair evaluation. I'd go with Fajardo over Matthews but I trust the coaching staff to do what's best for the team. If Ray is healthy it won't even matter.
I expect to see both Fajardo and Matthews get playing time Friday night. Trap game for Montreal.
While I'm not a big fan of Matthews starting over, especially since I think Fajardo has a much higher ceiling, Trestman knows QB's, if Matthews doesn't move the ball he'll be replaced eventually (hopefully). I'm just happy that they're protecting Prukop, but I hope Trestman starts giving more practice reps to the young guys, Ray taking "almost" 100% of the reps is asking for trouble IMO.
Trestman has to go with his gut. It's what got him the job here. If he's more comfortable with or believes Mathews gives the better chance, then so be it. Once Fajardo can learn to progress through his reads and hence become a respectable passer, he will become a nice double threat with his mobility. It's going to take time, he has a huge upside, but let's be patient.
