huh?... what's dumb about feeling lucky to get a five star RB for 3 years?... if he lives up to that hype, that's all we're getting.
It's just a strange way of saying "I hope he's really good so he spends the minimum number of years at AU as allowed within the rules." As if he had the choice to spend less.

ho are you talking about specifically? Gus as OC didn't have final say on redshirts, the HC did.... and it was chizik's phylosophy to play the young guys early on special teams (seemed to work out pretty well in 2010).
I don't think Gus should redshirt Roc.
We've had the JJ discussion ad nauseum already, but that's one. Rudy Ford is the other.

I don't think it's strange at all... as mentioned earlier in this thread, look at the top RBs in this May's draft... almost every one of them did not exhaust their eligibility before declaring.
and you're right on the JJ debate, it's been discussed a ton... the only thing i'll say is yes, ideally you'd love to have a good backup QB already on the roster (and lots of depth at DB so that ford could redshirt).... but that's not reality for a 1st year head coach.

redshirting a QB is way different than a RB
