Maybe,

but not because of Sharpley's ability. I suspect that if Charlie had named Sharpley the starter right out of the gate the whole clusterf#&% that surrounded the Demetrius Jones situation might have been avoided. I believe the turmoil created during the first several weeks set the whole team back.
It also might have allowed Clausen more time to ease into becoming the starter.
However I don't think that Sharpley was anything more than a competent back-up QB.
