The depth chart shows that we'll have two quarterbacks with three years 
(at least) in the incredibly, horribly complex offense - you know - that 
BC-WCO thang, versus an incoming guy who will have spent one year as a 
redshirt. 

And the downside appears to be that most people coming to college, say a 
kid named Witt - or some of the best - that we've been told we absolutely 
must positively have - don't want to redshirt and wait a year or two or 
three. Certainly not three. Not four either. 

I take it from your response that both Ganz and Davis are just warm 
bodies, then? No faith whatsoever in them?
