Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1464692, member: 40"] No, that's a misrepresentation. It's not exactly a leap to think that like most freshman QBs, Dungey probably isn't ready to perform at a high level. McNabb wasn't. Most aren't--including the vast majority of highly recruited guys [obviously there are limited exceptions]. I'm certainly not putting Dungey on the same level as McNabb, or saying that he'll have as "good" [in a different way, obviously the college game has changed from the mid-to-late 90s] of a career on the hill as McNabb did. Maybe he gets recruited over, and Moore or Culpepper [or the next guy] end up being better than him. I make no predictions about how his career will unfold, or what he's going to be able to produce as a fifth year player. All that I'm saying is that IF Hunt is more capable of getting us to six wins THIS YEAR than Dungey is, then I'd prefer to not squander a year of Dungey's eligiblity, because it isn't exactly a leap to think that his fifth year will be a lot more productive than his first year will be, when we have another QB in place who can get us to bowl eligibility. In other words, I don't see the benefit of a few snaps to get him ready for next year as being a good trade off for losing that year on the back end when he'd theoretically be at the peak of his collegiate developmental curve--ESPECIALLY when he'll be equally as "experienced" after the first half of his first game starting next year as he would having 20-25 extra snaps this year. I'm sure as hell not up in arms over the prospect of playing the kid, either. I just think that people might want to wait for Friday to see what Hunt can do before they assume that [a] Hunt is not meaningfully better than he's been, or [c] Dungey is ready to play right now and give the team the best chance to win.
