I hope Scarlett is NOT the starting RB and that Speights or Maddox takes that job. Scarlett does not have the speed nor agility that this position requires. If he does win the starting job (i.e., neither Speights nor Maddox takes it from him), that's just another sign to me that this roster is not sufficiently talented to perform at the level we have become accustomed to.

Not sure I agree with this. He isn't Love or CMAC, but I think he has shown he can be a reliable and effective back. He is the kind of guy who can grind out yards, which frankly I think fits Stanford better than the "home run" back model we have been trying to use these last few years. Naturally, you would like to have guys who can do both. However, from what I have seen, I do not think we play as well with Speights out there. I can't say for sure about Maddox, because we haven't seen him play enough to know. I am sure all three will get snaps, but empirically, Scarlett  gets better results.
Scarlett is a real effective pass receiver, which fits our desired style of play. He can run inside and outside effectively, although he does require a better "hole" than Love does. He just seems to get it done when called upon, style points aside. So I wouldn't be at all unhappy to see him out there most of the time.
