Thoughts On Danny Meager

[Got5onIt]

Logically, I would think Riley has to redshirt.

However, I want the best player out there and if that's a true freshman then who gives a flyin' rats a$$? We're all talking like we are a former National Champion and have talent oozing at every position, QB included. This team only won 2 games last year. Noone deserves a free spot, IMO. Vizza was ok at times and so was Meager. Other than Vizza being a true freshman, he wasn't head & shoulders above Meager.

Dodge said the best player will be out there.

What criteria determines the best player? That is the big question. Last season Meager was the best player to start the season before the other best player took over later. My guess is sometimes it is the results, or lack of, that determines the best player.

Hiram Gonzalez?

I have never heard about him. The thread doesn't say anything about him.

Gonzales was a backup here 4 years ago. Meager is a great practice player but a terrible gameday guy.

Your comparing apples to oranges. You had one kid 18 and another 21 (with big time college experience) competing for the same spot.

The best player will play, be it Riley or Meager or whoever. If Riley is as advertised, then he'll be the next best thing since the invention of the wheel and he'll play, period.
