Quarterback: Straddle the Fence
Unless you have been living in a cave or building pyramids in Egypt, you obviously know that Robert Johnson will start on September 2 against Southern California. The majority of the fans are unhappy. The media outlets are showing strong support. I am going to straddle the fence - supported side and unsupported side.
The Supported Side of the Fence
Robert Johnson has experience. He does well in practice, but can he take the same performance to game day? Perhaps he should envision the game as just merely a practice. Johnson just might put things together after sticking it out when most QBs would have hit the road. We can hope that Johnson takes or seeks advice from former Hog Tarvaris Jackson (drafted by the Minnesota Vikings and signed a 4 year contract) on how to take your game to the next level.
The Unsupported Side of the Fence
Start Mitch Mustain. He is the future of the program so let's get him going right away. Johnson had his chance and blew it.
Keeping the Fence in Tact
No matter what your side of the fence happens to be, we all need to stand behind our Razorbacks. At this point, we need to keep the same optimism that we had just a few weeks ago before the series of unfortunate events in this weird off-season.

I'll choose a side! Start Johnson. If he isn't getting the job done; pull him. I usually go against this philosophy, but like you said, he has already had his chance to blow. Either way, Go Hogs!
If Houston Nutt named Johnson as starter then he must be doing something right. People are too quick to jump on and off the bandwagon. I'm a HOG FAN win or lose 4 life.
I also say start Ro Jo! give him a shot, he has earned it from what I have heard. But, don't pull him if he has screwed up the first quarter let him play (at least one game).
