As good as CP was last night, and with Hunter mostly back,  , how much would DaRick have added to the fun?

Then again, CP and Hunter probably don't get as many touches, and maybe CP does not shine nearly as much.

Also, although CP obviously had a monster game, I think we caught NC State off guard a bit by going to him so early and often.  I think in the future, teams will be much better prepared and that will perhaps slow him a bit.

But balancing that...Hunter had a great game, but looked a bit rusty, as he might coming off knee surgery.   His timing with Bray looked a bit off for sure, particularly on some long throws.  We might have had another long TD or two if Hunter's timing with Bray was better.  I think that will only improve as the season goes on.

And finally...I am glad Z Rogers stepped up.  Between him, the young guys getting a few touches and Bartholemew emerging as another TE threat, I think we will be fine.  Rivera only had one catch, but I am sure he will get plenty of action later in the season.

Part of me really wonders what it would be like with Hunter, CP and Rogers at the same time, but we will be fine without him.

Anytime someone asks this question this year, I will counter with asking, "how divided would our lockerroom be WITH DR?"

His departure was long overdue, and I think it's now a case of addition by subtraction.

I said the same thing Vinnie.  I would have loved to seen all three line up together, but if it was true that DR was a cancer in the locker room, maybe this will  make this team closer and allow them to come together.

Yeah thats kind of implied by wondering how many touches cp would have gottrn if dr was still here.  But its still fun to wonder about all three playing
