[QUOTE="All4SU, post: 3620182, member: 381"]
When Dungey won the starting QB spot as a freshman, just about everyone knew he would be the QB for the next three years, barring injury. When Donovan McNabb won the QB spot as a RFr, just about everyone knew he would be a four year starter. Ditto Marvin Graves. When TD signed with SU as the highest rated QB we had signed in 20 years, and an Elite 11 player, everyone knew he would take over for Dungey, everyone. And yes, coaches use these things in recruiting. They always have. They always will. And this is not unique to Babers and TD. As it turns out, TD is our best QB last year, this year, and almost certainly next year. Of course it doesn’t mean you stop recruiting QBs. SU didn’t stop. We just weren’t successful. We weren’t successful recruiting a successor to
McNabb either. It stinks. But it happens when you’re not Alabama. And yes coaches used TD against us. But I maintain they used our OL failures too, and that probably scared off more recruits than our QB situation. The only relative question is how do we correct it and bring in a couple top QB prospects now? I don’t know. You don’t know. If we did, we would be doing it for pay. I hope we do. I’m not giving up on guys on the roster, but I like Lamson and I hope we can sign another kid, maybe a transfer. But I will not fault anyone for being excited to have signed TD or for expecting the kid to be the starting QB.
