🏈 Whats going on between Mizzou's QB Franklin and HC Pinkel???

[planomateo]

Was reading this morning and came across a comment about Mizzou's QB Frankin and a comment Mizzou's HC made in regards to him not wanting to play. WTF is going on in Columbia.

Missouri’s quarterback situation: Who’s the quarterback for the Tigers this coming Saturday against South Carolina? Moreover, who do the Tigers want to be their quarterback? The whole deal with Missouri coach Gary Pinkel coming out and saying that James Franklin refused a painkiller injection was bizarre. Franklin’s shoulder was hurting and he didn’t play in the win over Arizona State. Backup Corbin Berkstresser stepped in and led Missouri to the victory. It will be interesting to see how it plays out from here and whether or not there’s any division on the team

I didn't catch this a Saturday as I was traveling to Fayetteville, but damn Pinkel why'd you throw your QB under the bus publicly? At first, I was thinking maybe they are saving him for "old man football" league play, but after reading more on this...not so sure. How well does he hold up against Florida, Alabama

“He has inflammation, irritation,” coach Gary Pinkel said. “There’s no structural problem at all in the shoulder, absolutely none. The labrum is absolutely 100 percent. It was just too painful for him and he didn’t want to play. It’s between him and the medical staff. They make those decisions. I don’t make those decisions.”

I was told shortly before k/o that he wasn't playing.

Most coaches don't put their dirty laundry out in public like that. If he does play this weekend, I am sure SC will plan to knock him around some aftter this.
