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.
We were much more talented during Snyder 1.0. Dimel-Miller, by virtue of their terrible recruiting, have no playmakers. So, yeah, 'experience' is more important to those guys. If we had Bishop, Simoneu, Cooper, Sproles, Roberson, Newman, type players on the roster, I have a suspicion they'd be playing, experience notwithstanding. If Delton had the skillset of a Bishop, he'd be our starting QB IMO.
