    Thanks to everybody for answering. Obviously the answer is 4+ a bowl game. That being said, would you redshirt Langway next year or throw him into the mix?

    I doubt he stays here for four years, so no reason to redshirt.

    Sad but probably true. I pine for the days when you would recruit an All-Star kid and they would stay four years. remember Tebow?

    Even if he stays for four, he’s not staying for 5. Still no reason to redshirt.

    That’s the obvious answer assuming he develops into the guy we think he is going to. Nobody out of highschool is a sure fire Sunday guy though.

    If he’s not the guy we think he is, he probably still isn’t staying here for four or five years.

    You can be an elite college qb and still not be a first two rounds guy. With too qbs making millions in college, it may pay the same or better to stay in that situation. Wasn’t the semi qb eligible last year?

    I say we play him every game – as soon as we’re up by three touchdowns…

    Are you saying you think he should redshirt?

    Doubtful as I think he will have a useful package similar to Timmy possibly. I’m saying it’s possible he stays for his fourth year regardless if he isn’t a first day draft choice. The money could be equal or even better in college. Heck, maybe he’s no Tebow as far as short yardage and there’s no reason to pull Mertz for him.
