Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 3510130, member: 40"] Not sure what imaginary point you're trying to make about Summers, considering I've never made any prediction about how his career will unfold and list him as a "settle" above. Pointing out that he redshirted last year and is only one game into his career isn't spin, they're facts. None of this is spin, either: [LIST] [*]3 out of Babers's 5 recruiting classes, we've landed a QB at or close to the top of our recruiting board [B][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]FACT[/COLOR][/B] [*]2 years, we basically missed out on everybody we targeted [B][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]FACT[/COLOR][/B] [*]Lamson is a good get / important get [B][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]OPINION, HAPPY TO OWN IT[/COLOR][/B] [*]DeVito is looking like a flop, which is why the staff went after Fortin so hard last offseason [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)][B] OPINION / FACT[/B][/COLOR] [/LIST] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]I completely agree that what we need is someone to push DeVito. Fortin could have been that guy. Amie SHOULD have been that guy. Eventually, I expect that more information will leak that puts his departure in proper context. Had he not been such a knucklehead and had his head screwed on straight, I believe that there is a strong possibility that DeVito might have been benched, replaced in the starting lineup, and / or a transfer candidate. That's not all just my opinion, either -- here's what Eric Dungey had to say about Amie: [I]Dungey likes all of the Orange’s other passers, though he told Nate Mink he’s highest on Chance Amie. [/I][/COLOR][I]"I think the kid from Texas," Dungey said, "is going to be the best out of group. "He's got that mindset, too. He's not scared. He's got a cannon, fast. I think he's really going to take off."[/I] Sucks that he shot himself in the foot -- and it's had a lasting impact. More opinion that I'm happy to own, but I believe that the two biggest issues contributing to the state of the state at QB have been DeVito demonstrating he doesn't have the chops, and Amie screwing himself and the program. We need someone from the young group of QBs to be the real deal -- big time. EDIT - I've got nothing bad to say about Culpepper, after what he went through health-wise. Kid is a bad ass in my book. Hope he returns to get grad school paid for, will wish him the best whatever he decides -- not counting on him coming back for another season when looking ahead at the depth chart, but who knows. Was happy to see him get some PT Saturday, just wish it was under better circumstances. [/QUOTE]
