That can't be accurate unless some tampering was occurring.

A healthy Hartman is equivalent to slightly better than a banged up Newman. A healthy Newman is light years better than a health Hartman.
Hope Hartman stays healthy next year.
I think that's underselling Hartman he is significantly better than a banged-up Newman. He was the starting quarterback for the FSU game which was arguably one of our two best Wins of the year. He played great in the Louisville game and almost let us back to an incredible comeback. We were getting destroyed by Syracuse and we're going to get blown out if Newman stayed in the game and he came in and threw for 350 yards in just a little more than 1/2 and was on the way to winning the game without that crazy strip of Hinton.A healthy Hartman is equivalent to slightly better than a banged up Newman.

Seems like Clawson is the type who would get really pissed at tampering and try to block a transfer because of it. I'm sure the NCAA could do something, but doubt they would.
There were two games this year in which both Newman and Hartman threw more than two passes apiece.
Louisville:
Jamie Newman 24/41 251 6.1 3 2 46.2
Sam Hartman 9/15 172 11.5 2 0 90.3
Newman 9 rushes for 13 yards
Hartman 2 rushes for 4 yards and 1 TD
Syracuse:
Sam Hartman 25/42 350 8.3 2 2 63.0
Jamie Newman 6/13 71 5.5 0 1 9.4
Hartman 10 rushes for 42 yards
Newman 12 rushes for 23 yards
Those numbers are not, IMO, equivalent to or slightly better than Newman's. To my knowledge, Newman wasn't even banged up in the Louisville game. I am very disappointed in the news, and would have hoped and expected that Newman would have continued to start next year, but your post sells Hartman short.
Newman got hurt during the Louisville game with roughly 10:00 to play in the 2nd quarter. Both of his INT's came after the injury.
I do, however, agree with your point that WF can win with a healthy Hartman
Neither guy has to leave. In the last 5 years, not once has the whole season gone by without the starting QB getting injured.
