Wasn't Derrick Johnson a pretty solid CB as a frosh on the RB team? Rich Alexis was pretty damn good as a true frosh, definitely the right decision to play him when we did since he sucked post Tui. Nate Robinson is the most glaring ommission from the list, he was downright nasty as a true frosh.

How many of those players would have been better in their second year in the program had they spent their first year on the bench and not getting actual game experience?
None.
edit: and your list is missing the former IMA boxing champ -
Yes, redshirting really seemed to set Lawyer Milloy back.RavennaDawg said:How many of those players would have been better in their second year in the program had they spent their first year on the bench and not getting actual game experience?

Just to be clear, your two points are:
1) Even if Browning is the best qb, he should redshirt because 2019.
2) Players improve just as much by sitting on the bench and observing as they do actually playing in games. -
Add Kasen to the "promising but ineffective list". Probably ASJ too.

@dnc has this thread dialed in. Hell, I'd probably put ASJ in the Reggie category, and I'd put everybody else he's named into my second and third tiers.
Conceding every one of those guys, I think the point is abundantly clear: True frosh suck, as a general rule. The fact so few exceptions can be named in a 25-year period proves this point beyond debate.
Anybody who thinks Browning would contribute anything in 2015 close to what he would contribute in 2019 deserves another Owen12.
