Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1465082, member: 40"] It is amazing how several posters who are generally quite knowledgeable about college football are drastically overstating the benefit / importance of getting a few token snaps as a true frosh. The top QBs in program history performed just fine as redshirt frosh DESPITE not seeing game time as true frosh [or being rushed out onto the field before they were ready to contribute at a high level]. You brought up getting back to the 80s -- consider how things worked out for the likes of Don McPherson, Marvin Graves, and Donovan McNabb [90s]. And the same is true of RF first time starting QBs all across the collegiate landscape. If Dungey has the chops to excel, he's going to do just fine as a RF whether he gets tablescrap snaps as a true frosh or not. Period. And after starting the first game of his RF year, he'll be completely caught up experientially to where he would be getting a modicum of snaps the preceding year. [/QUOTE]
