[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 169181, member: 2299"] How is anything I posted speculation? I presented stats. Something that you clearly wanted to avoid for the most part. Regardless of 40 times, Days outperformed Laskey last year. By a lot. That is a fact. One was in his first year at the position. The other in his 4th. NFL standing means nothing especially when talking about one making the team as a FB and the other getting let go as a RB, and career totals are misleading, which is why you brought them up, because one player was hot potatoed around by the coaching staff before exceeding in his first opportunity to play, while the other posted a career 5.2 ypc while having multiple opportunity to grab the reigns, and never did so. The post I quoted was doubting a freshman's ability to 'carry' us like Laskey, when there is little reason to believe that, with our OL, a freshman who won the top spot would have any trouble replicating Laskey's production as a starter last year. As far as RSing vs playing, all a redshirt would have done for Dywer or Calvin was having them play a year less. You don't throw away a guy who will be a big help this year at the chance that he'll be here in year 5. Especially when we have no experience there to begin with. If he wins a top 2 spot, which I think is likely given the circumstances, you play him, unless the #1 is another Dwyer which is unlikely. [/QUOTE]
