Ok, so let's actually establish how DeVito and Shrader gets judged.

DeVito doesn't get credit for beating Ohio because Ohio isn't very good.

DeVito loses credit for losing vs Rutgers.

DeVito doesn't get credit for beating Albany.

Shrader played one end game series against Ohio.

Shrader plays three series against Rutgers, doesn't move the ball on the first two, does move the ball on the third, and the drive produces no points. But we'll give him credit for that because he didn't lose the game the way DeVito did. I guess?

Shrader plays the most he has in any game against Albany, our worst opponent, has more passing yards than DeVito thanks to Tucker turning a screen pass into a lot of yardage. He vultures two red zone TDs from his running backs. Throws a bad pick but give the guy a break, he's rusty, getting his legs underneath him, hasn't played much QB in a while, he's a gun slinger. We're going to give him credit though because we can project that his plays give us a better chance against P5 than the plays DeVito made against Albany... even though the best passing play of the game (and the season) was DeVito's, and also DeVito has better rushing numbers.

Conclusion - Shrader is the future.

I mean, come on.

There's some weird ass halo effect from Dungey and some fans are just done with DeVito.

Short of romping through the ACC the fans that are done with the guy aren't going to buy in.

Which is FINE but let's stop making Shrader out to be some kind of savior. He's a big southern kid that's not polished that the pirate decided was better suited to WR even though as a true freshman he made a cool helicopter play against the SEC.
