Rohach will start as the #1 QB in the spring
- Thread starter Judoka
- Start date
Tiller had to start the last game. The starter had a torn ACL and the 3rd guy had played maybe 4-5 snaps all year. Do you think if AA had another year and was healthy would have taken the 1's snaps on day one in the spring? Or Tiller?
Is Rohach the starter because Richardson isn't 100% or is Rohach the starter because the coaches have him penciled in as the #1 QB going forward?
Because they both should be healthy by the time spring ball rolls around.
Did you see what actually happened? His headset got caught up on the back of his uniform and he was delayed in getting disentangled. I was at the game and saw it live.
I really don't think anyone should hang that on him.

This is different because AA was so far ahead of Tiller and no one was viewing Tiller as a QB of the future. Since GR and SR are closer in the coach's estimation (and both are viewed as options for next year), you go with the one who is currently in the lead and let the other play past him.
Also, I tend to concur with you about your comments in the past about picking a #1 and giving him the bulk of the snaps instead of having an extended QB battle. In fact, I think this is more of what Rhoads was trying to do this year and may be what he is trying to set up for next year.
CPR has shown that he is willing to disregard and manipulate the depth chart how he sees fit. Coach saying Grant will be #1 next spring is like CF posters saying they are done whenever "something something" happens.
I was also at the game and saw it live. You're referring to the time we brought Richardson on in the first half in the redzone, I'm not hanging anything on him for the headset issues. I'm talking about the one in the 3rd quarter where it was 3rd and 2 then we had to call timeout only to false start on the next play. Anyways, both times Sam came on we had to call timeout. There is always confusion going on when we switch to Sam during a drive which is why it is dumb.
Based on the comments the coaches have made, that is my assumption as well. I just don't get why when you compare their bodies of work. They ran Richardson into the ground and then threw him under the bus, and the hits just keep coming apparently.
Other teams switch QBs on the fly & do not have to burn timeouts. They do not have Mess and we do. That is the difference. Our offense is un-coordinated and that falls on the person responsible for it being coordinated, which, I think, is the Coordinator.
Bigger question is, which QB had more plays that made it to the flagship program (Sportscenter) on ESPN? That should be our litmus test, correct?
Give SR the same scenario (no pass rush, decent up front on both sides, running game was working, bad KU defense), we still win 34-0. We saw that last year. And he could make that connection with Coleman. We saw his accuracy when he had time last year against KU.
