Hey Jack Rabbit, a team is made up of more than just starters. Non-starters contribute to winning as well. I guarantee you that without backups, LSU couldn't win more than 3 - 5 games a year. That is not excuses, that is reality.
I never said we didn't need backups. Of course we do.
I was commenting on the posters statement that all that can be expected of a true sophomore is to "be in the rotation."
That, of course, is nonsense. Freshmen and sophomores can, and do, start and play very well.

Most don't. And you miss the point. If you have a true sophomore who plays himself in the rotation, that is a good thing even if he is not starting. In a great football program that should be a good progression.
Any good coach would prefer starting juniors and seniors, of course if they are better players. They know the system and have gotten over the jitters on the big stage. That is why MSU had one of their better teams last year. Juniors and seniors should play better than freshmen and sophomores, if your recruitment has been consistent. Now there is always the outliers like Peterson, Hawkins, White and Vadal, who start as true freshmen. But a sophomore who has played himself into the rotation is a good for a program, not a bad thing as you intimate.
