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're only likely to have one year as a starter either way. But I think he has a better shot at unseating Mauk next year this way than if he redshirted. Again, you're going to get the most out of his time here without the redshirt. This way you get 3 years of on field production rather than only two with a redshirt. The absolute longest the kid will be on the roster is 4 years. Pretty much a no brainer, like I said.

Nice to have a starter quality backup. Even if he only gets one year as the starter either way, you've gotten two backup years also. Instead of one, with one year not getting anything on the field from him. Last I looked 2>1.
