Basing it on Richt's actions. He's going to give his already-on-the-roster QBs every chance to be the guy and unless (if he even comes to us) Howell comes in and lights it up, typically not the case, I find it hard to believe CMR would roll him out there Game 1 against an SEC defense, which then puts him into consideration for a redshirt. And before people get riled up, I fall into the camp that believes the redshirt rule in most cases is dumb and if a guy is that good, he won't be here in year 4 or 5, but Richt still believes in it and his opinion is the one that currently matters in as far as how he will employ it.
Look, I get there are the Trevor Lawrence and Tua Tagovailoa (and others) examples out there that give people the impression true freshmen can come in and be game changing QBs right away, but they are still the exceptions and look at the teams around them. We need an upgrade in QB play, we all agree, but it's doubtful, outside of injury, that any true freshman in 2019 would be that guy for us.
