Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 3722625, member: 40"] Agree on paper. BUT I do think it's also fair that competition brings out the best in the position -- so Tommy will have his work cut out for him, with a highly rated / experienced prospect like Shrader coming in. I don't think DeVito has a lock on the position by any means -- due to the poor feel he's shown during his time here. Shrader played against the likes of LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, etc. -- he's going to be battle tested the minute he sets foot on campus. Doesn't matter which player wins the job -- performance is all that matters. And if Shrader's presence causes Tommy to elevate his game, that's great for the program. And if he doesn't, then I don't see the coaches hesitating to play Shrader. And even if Devito does kick things up a notch and performs well, Shrader is well positioned to take over and be a multi-year starter. May the best player win the job. [/QUOTE]
