Play the best players.Dennis_DeYoung said:I never really had an opinion on @RavennaDawg before now...
Now I think 2 things:
1) Ravenna is a nice neighborhood.
2) @RavennaDawg is a serious butt-hurt presser.
Rarely are the existing quarterbacks so bad, or the true frosh so good, that you play the true frosh. But sometimes you do. Chandler was better than Pelleur, but not when Chandler was a true frosh and Pelleur was an rs-sr.. Winston was better than Manuel, but not during Winston's true frosh season. Bledsoe and P Manning were better as true frosh than their alternatives, so they both played.
If Lindquist is the best, you play him. If Browning is the best, you play him. Don't sacrifice wins today for some magical 2019 season, that will only matter Peterman fails to recruit/develop a qb to compete with 2019 Browning, while 2019 Browning is not good enough to turn pro after 4 years.
This obsession some people have with redshirting for the sake of redshirting is weird.

I agree. Problem is, at UW anyway, this is nearly as rare as the true frosh who doesn't suck. Neither circumstance occurs frequently enough to outweigh the huge systemic benefits of routinely redshirting guys.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

Lotta twisting going on here. Ain't complicated. Redshirting hurts nobody. And it helps a lot of guys.RavennaDawg said:
You really think he would have been worse in 1993 had he played in 1992? And he left after 4 years.TTJ said:
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?
None.
As good as he was is 1993, I bet if you ask him he will say he would have been even more prepared had he seen the field some in 1992.

I'm sure TTJ is a nice guy in real life, but he was absent from school they day they taught logic.
Go Dawgs!!! -
Protip for the dumbasses in this thread: true sophomores are better than they would be as redshirt freshmen, true juniors are better than they would as redshirt sophomores, and true seniors are better than they would be as redshirt juniors.
