The kid didn't come here to sit on the bench. He came here to play.
If he does things right, he'll get his degree in four years and be ready to go to the NFL, or go out and get a real job. Either way, burning a red shirt does not hamper this kid's life in the least. The only reason not to burn it would be to "save" him for that fifth year in 2016. I'm all for planning for the future, but there is no guarantee that we'll be in this position (SEC/BCS Championship contention) in 2016.
If we think he can contribute, burn it.

Exactly.
But if he's not better(in Saban's eyes) than Norwood, Ch. Jones or Cooper right now then do you burn it for a handful of snaps in a 4 WR set? That could be the question.
