To be fair, Stan basically said that if Ertz went down again he thinks Hubener would go in because of experience, but Delton would eventually be weaned into the position and be the starter by season's end. Said he thought that was the plan last year when Ertz went down but then Delton went down as well.
Essentially saying that talent-wise Delton is the #2, but experience gives Joe the edge.
That is incredibly stupid. No amount of experience can overcome how bad Joe Hubener is at football.
If Delton can't go out there and simply improvise his way in front of Hubener, then I agree with MIR that he needs to switch positions or transfer. Hubener has no business even suiting up for this team.
Have you ever heard Snyder say something like "we put him in the game because he is a talented playmaker even though he is not fully accustomed to the system"?
Just because Delton is #3 on the depth chart doesn't mean he wouldn't smoke Joe in game time performance. He just needs to memorize that playbook before Snyder will hand him the reins.
If this was Snyder 1.0, we may very well have thrown Delton into the fire to start 2015. During his first stint, Snyder played a TON of guys in their first or second year with the program. Simoneau, Dyshod Carter, Jeremetrius Butler, Jarrod Cooper, Terry Pierce, Lockett brothers, Eric Hickson, and plenty of others were starting as either a freshman or sophomore. There was a naive part of me still clinging to the notion that Snyds still handled personnel decisions. I gave up on that during the 2013 season when he kept repeatedly saying after losses "Sams should have played more" or "we should have run Daniel more". The Dimel-Miller braintrust gives zero effs about playmaking ability. Experience trumps all.
