I don't think Barnett will ever start as QB for the Cyclones again.
Maybe there is something I do not see or understand but here are the facts for our 2 QB's over the last 2 seasons in the Big XII
Barnett 4-4
Jantz 1-7
I don't care how bad someone's throws look as long as they get the job done. In one of Barnett's losses he engineered 3 TD drives against the team that might end up winning the National Title. Something Geno Smith and Landry Jones could not accomplish. Jared got pulled in the fourth quarter of the Okie State game in which he struggled but still managed to put 2 scoring drives together. Jantz stunk it up against a bad Texas D and never was pulled even after the game was over early in the third quarter. Jantz's only win unless I am forgetting one was against one of the worst defenses(Baylor) that I have ever seen in Jack Trice stadium. That includes some of our own back during the Walden years.
I'm wondering if this is Rhoads way of trying to hit the reset button on QB for next season. Playing a Senior that hasn't improved in 2 seasons over a younger guy. The senior graduates, the younger guy picks up on the fact that he's getting the cold shoulder for a terrible senior and transfers or leaves. Rhoads has less controversy next year.

If you have an idea that Rhoads would do anything except try to win every single game you haven't been paying attention.
Rohach and Richardson would be my guess
Alternating quarterbacks is an absolutely idiotic idea. Put the guy on the field who gives you the best chance to win. If that's Bueker get his *** on the field. The coaches obviously think Jantz has been the better player in practice and in games or Barnett would be taking the snaps.
Either Barnett needs to improve a TON in the offseason or the underclassmen better be ready for some snaps because neither Barnett nor Jantz is a Big 12 quarterback. Jantz has the talent but isn't careful enough with the ball. Barnett lacks the talent at this point in time. Fortunately you can work on accuracy although I doubt someone's abilities to go from <50% as a passer and becoming respectable in a year.
