Message: [QUOTE="Nick44, post: 2373703, member: 540"] But your argument assumes that Devito wasn’t aware when he signed that he was joining a team who had a very good sophomore starting QB at the time? He always knew that 2018 would be Eric’s senior year and Eric’s to start barring an unforeseen circumstance. For sake of argument, let’s say Eric doesn’t get injured next year (a huge assumption I know). Is garbage time against 1-2 teams in 2018 more important than starting the last 3 in 2017 with a feasible opportunity to get this program to a bowl? Not to mention, it’s a “play it by year” in 2018. If he’s needed in week 3 because of another injury, you reevaluate. If Eric survives the whole season and Tommy can’t get garbage time in a couple of 2018 games, I think it’s worth it.
