Message: [QUOTE="PhatOrange, post: 5139809, member: 229"] It’s really not unfair. He wasn’t that good last season and the low PFF grade mentioned last season aligns with what I saw from him. The no sacks stat is misleading since Shrader ran at the first sign of trouble and then we abandoned the forward pass for several games. and for the record I didn’t say he sucked. I said he’s overrated by the board. But, other than the prior starts what’s the performance reason he should start? There is none. At most programs he might have been a depth piece to this point because maybe that’s what he is? He did redshirt his freshman season so he wasn’t immediately thrown into the fire. He’s entering his redshirt Junior season, 4th year, with a lot of experience and another new OLine coach. We’ll see where it goes from here. I’m certainly pulling for him and everyone on the OLine.
