Message: [QUOTE="CbusCuse, post: 1464167, member: 507"] I am completely with Otto and RF on this. Snaps for mop up duty do practically nothing to help you for 2016. If they think he is good and are very hopeful in his abilities he needs to redshirt and I don't care what the status is of the coaching staff. I know they need to win but playing Dungey in mop up does not help this year and likely doesn't affect next year. If Dungey is good you may very well be throwing away several wins 4 years from now. Say Hunt plays well and we actually do blow out our first two opponents (This is not a guaranteed to happen by the way) for a little bit of play where he may get a few pass plays against really bad teams. We are not blowing out anyone else to where he will get meaningful snaps. They will not be subbing in a frosh who has never played for a few drives in a meaningful game if Hunt is playing fairly well. That would be dumb. And this isn't the same situation with Paulis and Nassib. They were different QB's with a different skill set. We brought in Nassib for some running plays, amazingly, and for his strong arm. Hunts game and Dungey's game are pretty similar. There is no change of pace to benefit from or making another team prepare for two different offenses. I like Hunts game other than his questionable accuracy. That would be the only possible thing he could add. We only need to see if that is the case if the season is not going well. If Hunt struggles and you want to see what Dungey has yes you play him. Plus you want to get him "meaningful" experience for next year. If Hunt gets injured yes you play Dungey. You can't blow a redshirt year making "seperation" for a QB recruit we are bringing in next year who is currently out with a serious injury by the way. I hope Culpepper is the real deal but I am not anywhere near sold at this point. I like his measurables and character etc. He may very well end up being good but the kid has one year of QB experience but his highlights did not exactly a way. Culpepper will still show up here next year if Dungey redshirts and if he is that good he can win the job or at least share some time with Dungey and be a starter his Senior year. I don't even see how this is a debate. [/QUOTE]
