JJ's Body of work vs playing a tough opponent in a hostile stadium

Its Not About How a Guy Looks in Practice
No matter how great a guy looks in practice,
when he walks on the field at Camp Randall (a very tough venue)
facing a fast physical defense (Wisconsin has)
It does not matter how strong his arm is or how athletic he is
The most important variable is Can he emotionally handle that situation?
Can he remain calm and aware of situation, defense, strategy in that situation?
We do not know

Cade has more Reps under Pressure
I'm not saying Cade has the emotional control of Aaron Rodger or Tom Brady. I'm not saying that
but he has a lot more game reps in pressure situations
He has made throws and more importantly thrown it away in pressure situations

For those who say JJ should play with the game (and maybe season) on the line at Camp Randall
You need to really think about that

Exhibit A
Justin Fields is a really talented QB and is going to be good in the NFL
When he got thrown in this week against The Cleveland Browns
The Browns set and NFL record by sacking him NINE TIMES
Fields was not ready

Conclusion
Cade may not be JJ in the long run,
but Cade is our best option to limit TO's and mistakes vs a really good opponent

I hope JJ does not play
OR I hope he gets some reps when we are up by 21 in the last 2 minutes
