That precludes the possibility of continued development on Little's part.

Remember, he hadn't played football for two seasons before he was drafted.

The plan may have been to use last year as a "redshirt" year to get the rust off and get him into football shape, get the rust off, and to prepare him for this year.

Now ultimately he may NOT be anything more than a backup.

But given the myriad issues with Urban Meyer's tenure and the possibility/necessity of taking it slow with Little, and a new coach, OL coach and scheme under Pederson, I think it's too soon to write him off.

Last year's coaching staff may have made many mistakes.  The decision to not play Little before he was ready to compete may have been the correct one.

Agreed completely.
