My Pledge—No More Trolling

Why is that the only stat we are using? There are arguments to be made for each player. I choose Stanely because he is a true junior compared to a 6th year senior meaning he has a much higher ceiling and should take a large step forward this season.
He also had much less to work with in terms of weapons at WR.
A one school true junior with less talent around him vs a guy no one heard of before with more talent around him?
Iowa gon' Big Time.
Kempt had his first meaningful snaps last year while Stanley had a year of meaningful snaps before that and Kempt was still better
He played enough as a freshman to burn a redshirt where Kempt hadn't played at all
Wish it was more that way I wouldn't have felt awful for CJ getting blasted over and over again against Florida.
That was tough to watch, you have to admit it. The announcers were even cringing. No way should Kirk have let that go on.
If he didn't play meaningful snaps that year year he would be a redshirt sophomore this year and not a junior. Fail
I don't really disagree. Kempt had some really good moments and some average games too. Stanley is a better NFL prospect. I'm not sold that Kempt is the sure starter for the entire season, as Noland has a better upside. This would be like arguing Rugumba vs Peavy. Both good players. Rugumba has done some good things, but Peavy has proven to be more consistent on the field.
He beat out Wiegers to be the backup. KF felt it was more important to get him reps with the 2's all year in practice and be the backup on game days then it was to run the scout team as a redshirt.
He did the same thing with Tate in 2003. Judging by how well Stanley performed last season, it was the right call.
