Need to talk about him as an option. Too quickly (IMO) people are defaulting to "can't burn the redshirt" as a reason. So he can start four years at QB instead of three? Shouldn't have anything to do with it. With reports of his performance in practice being generally positive, he's got to be an option given the past two games level of QBing. If he's not ready (not at JOK's level now (?))), fine. Burning the shirt should not be ANY issue.
