I don't disagree with his statements. That is the way Dave Christensen runs his program. All positions are wide open and regardless of starter status or whatever year they are in if someone shows they are better at a position they get the #1 spot on the depth chart. It gives the young guys something to work and compete for. The step up from high school to D-1 college is a big step though.
You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him/her.

ACS has had happy feet early in a play. I don't blame him, but there has been plenty of times where I thought he could have just stepped up and found a receiver or stood there and let one go. He had a pocket, it was around him, but he just starts tap dancing around. If any quarterback comes in and makes better decisions and can throw lasers early in a play, he'll take ACS's job. I think the spread requires a QB to make quick reads and get rid of the ball. It reminds me of when the Pats smacked the Steelers. The Steelers could never get pressure on Brady because the damn ball left his hand too fast.
