AZGrizFan said:And this, with no disrespect to Nate, is why I have such mad respect for guys like Mike Ralston and Makena Simis. Those two grinders would have played WATERBOY if it meant helping their team and getting on the field.
Hawkeyebowhunter said:Can't blame him for wanting some playing time. Looks like Jensen is going to be around for a while so that's good at least, little shaky at qb depth now as I'm not sure Hill can get it done if called on.

Ralston and Simis wanted playing time too. So they found a way to help the team AND get on the field at the same time.
I guess one could argue that Nate Dick helped the team by freeing up a scholarship...

IMO, you are kinda being dickish.

I don't think that's dickish, I think it's the truth. I'm bummed because I always felt Dick had that x-factor and wanted to see what he could do for us by his junior/senior years.
In the end, he ranked being in the exact same town as family and immediate playing time over everything here. That's his prerogative but still it's a bummer.

Funny, but I don't see any comment by AZ that referred to family considerations. It seems to me he is knocking Nate for not being a good teammate.

I don't blame the kid - his reasons were easy to understand. I wish him well and hope he tears up the Frontier.
But, it's hard to argue he IS being a "good teammate."

Why argue about that at all.

Hauck offered a former QB of his at unlv who played a bit as a RS Freshman and then transferred to JUCO for this past season. Was a 3-star coming out of high school. Has I beleive 2 years remaining.
