It wouldn't have made a meaningful difference.
Maybe a game or -- pushing the bounds of credibility -- two, but would anyone retroactively clamoring for Sharpley now have been sated by a 4-8 or 5-7 season? Somehow, I doubt it. Our atrociousness that season went far beyond the quarterback position.
And while I mean no disrespect to the guy, I also believe that Sharpley's shortcomings as a full-time QB1 would have become more clear (and would have been exposed to a greater degree by our opponents) had he been the starter for the duration.
