Money Quote: On the ever-elusive quarterback decision:

"Both of those guys look great," Kinder said referring to Hunt and Allen. "And I trust that the coaches are going to put the best player on the field and put our team in the best position to win."

Links of Wonder: Take a look at this piece on Kinder's decision and how he approached Shafer about the move to wide receiver.

What Does Shafer Think: After the second straight day that Kinder played WR, he said,

John Kinder, I just love him to death. He came to me. He wants to play. He wants an opportunity.

Interesting Nugget O'Interest: He was the 2009 New York State Class A Player of the Year, and his full name is John Fitzgerald Kinder, Jr. Just look at those initials for a hot second.
