I feel the obvious choice for quarterback has to be Rod Rutherford.

While I’m sure he will make mistakes just as Priestley has, this can serve as valuable experience for Rod and help him develop into a top quarterback in the years to come.

Priestley, on the other hand, has already been given ample time to prove himself and has done little to help the team during his Pitt career. He will be gone after this season and letting him play simply because he is a senior is setting the program back another year.
