USF can not afford the luxury of reshirting Gunsby

I believe that the reason Eveld is second string ahead of Gunsby is to allow Gunsby to redshirt because he shows more potential and promise for the future.  I have trouble believing that an unrecruited walk-on is outperforming a 3 star recruit.

If we are going to lose games, isn’t it better to have a productive loss?  Gunsby should be in there picking up game time experience at the cost of these losses.  BJ is not the future, most people can see that.  He was a serviceable asset from the legacy system, but a liability at QB in the eventual system.

If we don't see Gunsby this year, that is Skip's open admission that this season is a sacrifice.  Why would Skip sacrifice this season? 

Is it because he wants Gunsby to be a senior against UF in 2014?

Is it because he convinced BJ to quit basketball to focus on QB, and he feels a sense of obligation to BJ now?

Is it because BJ was Leavitt’s guy and Gunsby is his guy, and he would take more heat for the losses if they take place with his guy over center?

Is it because he thinks BJ can reach the minimum requirement of winning 3 more games?

Gunsby isn't the future at USF either. I'd be surprised if he was ever a starter here; I think Weatherford has a ton more upside.

If true, that's just another reason to take the redshirt off.

Whatever Gunsby is, he is a better "fit" for the offense.  I'm not saying he's cam newton, he's just not BJD.

LOL  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Now we are calling for a kid who does not know the plays to be our savior QB.  This place gets better all the time.  No need to shell out coin to visit a comedy club.  Thanks.  This thread is a classic.  :D :D :D

As I said in another similar thread.  Holtz is redshirting Gunsby and playing a true freshman walk-on, even though Gunsby is better, because Gunsby is the future at that position?  How does that even make sense?

Savior?  Clearly, you do not understand the point of the thread.  If we are going to lose games, it is better to lose with Gunsby than BJ.  Should we be afraid Gunsby might throw a pick or 3?  Heaven forbid that could happen.   If you don't get this, just laugh.

Holtz isn't playing Eveld, he is playing BJ.  Eveld is just a place holder on the 2-deep to buy time for Gunsby to groom.

I really hope Gunsby is better than Eveld.  If Eveld doesn't have any wheels, his 190 pound frame will be in the trainers room all season.  Gunsby's pretty thick his height.

Place holder?  You can read the coach's mind?  By the way, Gunsby is so much the future they have committed for next season 2 QBs and are still recruiting Jacoby Brisset.
