Why wouldn't your starter for the last game of this season take the first snap next Spring? I think Tiller played the entirety of the last game of 2010.
He probably told them a few games ago so GR took over.
CPR making this comment public would make me assume mess is coming back.

The play where Richardson came in for a 3rd down and we had to call a timeout was a disaster. I would imagine he got chewed out for that. I don't remember seeing him play for the rest of the game. He didn't even come in when we were up 27-0 or 34-0. It seems to me from what Rhoads has said about Rohach in practice and what we saw on Saturday night that Rohach has taken Richardson's starting job.
No one is saying that Mess is Mensa material.SR has a better QB Eff Rating, more passing yards per attempt. better TD-Int ratio and more yds per rushing attempt this year. I guess you have to factor those numbers into the Messingham equation to figure out the best QB.
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?
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.
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.
I would bet money on the latter.

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.

I just did not see where Sam was going to run much on ice, so GR played since at least he could connect with Coleman.
