Well, tell us all about your expert evaluations of games and your qualifications. If you don't know what your looking at and/or watching film of how they executed on every play and every responsibility, then your 'opinion' is worthless. But opinions actually are worthless by definition.
You've seen Stone play 2 qtrs. and were able to determine that he has 'way more natural ability'. LOL. You don't actually believe your own BS, do you? I watched Gervase live on 3 or 4 occasions when he was in HS and then watched 2 tapes of Stones highlights, and from my 30 yrs. of coaching at many levels, I can tell you that Stone has no more 'natural ability' and is a VERY undisciplined player at this point (as is evident by his 4 block in the back calls on special teams this year and his not taking proper drops in coverage). He has a lot of potential, but he is a LONG ways from challenging Snyder or Gervase for a starting position.
You are correct that Snyder may not start the first game next year because of his DUI and we don't know what his rehab schedule looks like at this time, but there are also questions about Hooker's 'status' right now. I'm not making any guarantees about anything. I'll leave that up to the people 'in the know'...the coaches and not some 'wannabe' on a fan site. Thanks.
