Seemed to be a controversial thing to the color commentator yesterday. Doesn't appear to be so too much in the fanbase though. Seems like a no brainer-by not redshirting him we are going to get more, not less, time from him. If he's here past three years I'll eat my digital shorts. Why waste one on a redshirt?

In addition, if you redshirted him, you are almost certainly only going to get one year as a starter with him. Without it, it's very possible he takes over next year and you get two.

GP did the absolute right thing.

It don't matter no modem I don't agree with the decision but youre just wrong to flat out say a freshman qb won't be here in 3 years and to say if he RS he only starts one...

This is the urban legend for locks tenure. Of he only stays 3 Then everyone beats their chest. If he is here 4 then he sucks. If he doesn't start next year, Pinkel is clueless.

Literally if he is only here 3 years. A shite load of stuff has to happen for him to get more than one year as a starter. You guys just think it's easy to unseat a senior QB with 20+ wins for a sophomore. You might do it, in PlayStation. This isn't PlayStation though.

Right now if Lock is the sure fire nfl pick and is gone in three years, he is still guaranteed only one year to start. Same situation you're saying makes no sense to RS him because he would only have one year as a starter

You can't redshirt the best QB on the team. It's pretty simple.

I could have gone either way on it, but yes. Pinkel made the right call.

Playing Lock now is a plus for the 2015 team, a plus for his readiness to produce from Day One as a starter, and a plus for recruiting high end athletes who want play immediately.

Everyone assumes Lock will want to leave after 2017, yet nobody mentions attending Missouri was the fulfillment of a life-long dream. Then he remained loyal when some of the glamour boy coaches tried to poach him.

I could easily see him remaining loyal to his teammates and goal of winning an SEC championship at Mizzou.

There's a reason these guys are not on the sidelines coaching.
