Staley highlights so far from this year

[FlabLoser]

Based on Mullen's history, I'd be beyond shocked if this happens. Well...let me rephrase: it wouldn't be the most shocking thing if he didn't redshirt, considering our QB depth (though I'd still be surprised), but I can't imagine him getting any meaningful snaps with Dak healthy. And again, nothing against him at all, he's a serious talent - that's just Mullen's MO, especially at QB. Dak has been groomed for the job and will have it; Staley will start being groomed next year.

Dan gives everybody a fair shot at competing for a job. Always has. You can say you doubt Staley can win the job. But I guarantee you Staley is going to be given opportunity to win a roster spot and that's all any player wants.

Russell didn't get many snaps when he was young because he was a turnover machine. Dak was going to get more snaps as a So than Russell did because he is ready and Dan said as much. Right now that's a moot point because Dak is getting a lot more snaps due to injury.

The point being - Mullen gives out snaps based on how ready a guy is and that's up to the player.
