I don't claim to know everything about the politics of college football, but I am certainly interested in the way the quarterback situation will shake out in 2009 for our Scarlet Knights. 

On one hand, you have experience.  Natale and Lovelace have been in this system for a couple years now, so you have to think that this would be an advantage for one of them getting the nod when the season starts out.  I've been to every game the past two years and I have seen very little of each of these guys.  But what I have seen has not filled me with confidence going forward.  I went to a few games early and was able to see Natale working out in pregame.  While his arm looked decent, his play (in his limited time) left something to be desired.  Jabu, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have the full arsenal at his disposal. (I suppose if you were able to combine the 2 guys like the Six Million Dollar Man, we might have a dangerous weapon on our hands.)

Which brings me to my point.  Would we be better off starting a younger, more athletic prospect this year?  I look at DC Jefferson on the sideline and what I have read about his rocket arm, and think that he must get a look.  But now, with Savage (and Shimko I guess), where do we go from here.  I watch other college football, but concentrate mainly on RU.  How do other teams deal with an influx of talent at the QB position that maybe we have not had in a while, if at all.  From everything I hear Savage is the real deal, but where does that leave everyone else?  It seems to me that bringing a highly touted recruit like DC, redshirting him and then starting Natale or even Savage over him this year will not let us use DC in any way.  Im under the assumption that once Savage is handed the ball, it will be his team for as long as he stays.

So where does that leave us with a physical specimin like DC and two elder QB waiting in the wings with the "Golden Boy" breathing down their necks..

Interested in hearing what the Scarlet Knight fans have to say on the subject..
