Who should start opposite of Sherman: Witherspoon or Moseley?

I think this decision will have great impact this post season, as well as going forward. So, IMO, poll worthy.

No sitting on the fence. That way, we don't have posters coming back, captain hindsight, critizing Shanny for their decision, without putting their choice on the table. This is your chance to state who you would choose.

From reading various threads, It appears that the majority of the board is hoping for Moseley to start. As do I. I think Moseley has had a good season, so far, and gives us the best chance to win. Witherspoon has not been the same since being back from injury (Although, a lot of that could be attributed to the drop off in pass rush) Either way, we can't afford to have Witherspoon get burnt several times before we yank him in favor of Moseley. That could prove to be the difference. So, please Shanny, start Moseley.
Should be an option for coaches pick, I think they've earned the trust to pick the starters.

Moseley is the 'hot hand'. Always go with the hot hand.
I am fine starting Witherspoon, as long as the coaching staff is ready to replace him with Mosley as soon as Witherspoon show any signs of bad performance in the game.

I do believe fans in this forum focused too much on the last 2 games of the season (recency bias), which Witherspoon didn't play well. He, however, played really well in all of the other games this season. Overall he has a very good season.

I did remember fans wanted to bench K'wuan Williams after game 2 this season (if I remember correctly). Turns out K'wuan is playing really well the rest of the season.

Well obviously, it's ultimately up to the coaches to choose.
But, who would you start? Who do you think helps the team win more?

This is also my line of thinking. Stick with what is working.

I think Akhello's confidence is shot right now.

The problem with the first paragraph, is that he could cost us a TD or two before that happens, which we may not recover from. Ultimately costing the game.
Those first two games Spoon looked great, wasn't getting himself in trail positions (where he ALWAYS struggles) and was keeping the wide outs in front of him and attacking the ball. Now it seems he's reverting back to last years form.

Mosley has been solid the whole year, I can't recall any awful performances by him, he's given up some catches but noting like Spoon giving up at least 1 TD a game at this point.

Then if Mosely starts getting beat they'll just talk about how much Moseley sucks.

I think people are overreacting. If the pass rash comes back Ahkello will be fine. Our whole championship run pretty much hinges on the DLine.

fans talk about players and give their opinions all the time
