That's not the only problem, of course, but watching Oregon and OSU last night really drove home home the difference a QB can make. Sure, both teams are better overall, but it would have been a lop-sided game if either team had a Stanford's level of QB play. Stanford needs to test out Brown asap to see if he's really the QB they hope he is...
What I've seen in all phases of the game thus far (coaching included) has been cringe-worthy on an unprecedented scale. Crap football defined. I am not expecting turn-around miracles from a new QB. Neither should anyone else.
To answer the question that is the title of this thread ("When is Elijah Brown back?"), the correct answer is: NOT SOON ENOUGH! But, at this point, I'm far from sure that even with substantially improved QB passing that our O will be a lot more productive. Our receivers are not very good at separating from those covering them and the O line has proven more and more porous, which means Brown may be under great duress very quickly.
