Similar to what Georgia did with Hutson Mason, holding him out a year that he wasn't going to contribute anyway to preserve his eligibility for a later year that he might contribute.

I don't know if DW ever will be our starter, but if he does win the job in 2016 as a senior, it sure would be a shame that we burned 3 years of eligibility for nothing when we could have burned just 2. Even if he doesn't win the job, I think he'd be more valuable as a 5th year senior backup in 2017 to Staley/Fitz than as a 3rd year junior backup to Dak in 2015 -- I can't see Dak getting benched for any reason this fall, but it might be nice to have a 5th year senior step in in 2017 if we need one in a pinch.

This all assumes Dak stays healthy, of course.
