"If Rosen was wiling to redshirt at Stanford, he absolutely without question would have started for Stanford in 2016, and Stanford may have gone to the CFP, .  .  .  ."

Hey Mick, were you the person who correctly noted the misuse of the term "begging the question"?  Is this an example?  For some reason I find that phrase difficult to use.  Perhaps this is more like the comment, "If we had some bacon, we could have some bacon and eggs, if we had some eggs."

I think others on the board recognize the misuse of "begging the question" better than me, at least as it fits the old definition which is basically circular reasoning.  So if there was zero chance that Rosen would have redshirted his first year, then yes, I think the above example fits.
