Couldn't agree more. If the kid is the best for the job give him the start! I don't think Green is as ready as somebody like Terrell Pryor (sp?) was, but if the kid gets the playbook down and does what he needs to do then he deserves it. I like to think of the kid as a young Vince Young, he has almost the same body type minus a few inches, but he's a much better pocket passer than Young was coming out of high school.
Lest we not forget, with only Chance Mock ahead of him on the depth chart, the immortal Vince Young.... REDSHIRTED!!! NOt many seem to remember that. With Witt gone, I think we have an ideal situation for Cody. He RS's this year, tormenting the 1st team D all year and getting them ready for Robert Griffin. Zac Lee takes control of the Offense (not saying he'll be Joe Ganz this year, but a servicable running a game and an improved Defense will help.) In 2010, Green will get his opportunites in small packages, if Lee has proved his mettle. Than, in 2011, as a RS Sophomore, Cody will have 3 springs, 2 falls and some game experience to take the reigns. I think that would be a great situation to have happen.
