    Do we even know how to recruit a good QB? Who is in the wings?

    I think that is the problem.
    I think we have a couple of freshmen this year, that have a lot of potential, and were fairly highly regarded.

      I really wish Iannotti wouldn't have transferred, he would have been a great combination of Davis/Rennie.

        Totally. Juggling two quarterbacks can never work, as I've been told, but juggling THREE quarterbacks works like a charm!

          Well, there would be one for each down, then bring in the punter.

            I would guess he wasn't as good as we thought. Whether mentally or physically.

              Hope letting him go wasn't a mistake:

                Well his 35 on the ACT should answer the mental question...

                  That doesn't mean he would make the proper reads, handle the pressure, or have the other intangibles he needs.

                    Having to share playing time and/or practice snaps probably could have a bit of an effect on productivity, but many of the biggest mistakes are due to poor decision making and/or technique.

                    I can see blaming the coaches on the playcalling tendancies, but claiming that the QB-rotation is the major determining factor in our losses. makes zero sense to me.
                    Why don't you understand rotating QB's DOESN'T WORK. Again, I ask you to name me ONE...JUST ONE...team that has done it successfully. It worked for Florida because of their 22 starters, and Tebow, something like 22 of them were/are NFL players.

                    It isn't about "being a headcase", although there is an aspect of that but "headcase" isn't the right word. It is about building a god damn rhythm with the team. Every QB has their own snap cadence, own speed of calling out audibles/coverages/etc... at the line, their own way of handing off to a RB, their own speed at hitting a route timing wise (they might hit the WR at the same point in the route but getting it there is something different for each QB), they have their own leadership styles, etc...

                    QB's are NOT plug and play pieces of a team. Due to the fact we are rotating QB's like we are the team can't get in a set rhythm, or flow, or the game. If they can't get every single snap they possibly can to build that rhythm with everyone on offense the offense will fail.

                    Same thing the Vikings are going through right now with trying to get Favre and the WR acclimated to each others timing right now. They don't have enough snaps to have a good timing with each other, or to know exactly what is expected of them as the play develops.

                    This isn't a damn video game where the back up comes in and the offense doesn't change a bit.


                    Not only is this type of thing causing issue within the fan base in terms of support, you can be damn sure the same thing is happening on the team. The longer this drags, the more likely players on the team are to pick a side. Division in the locker room is the last thing we need.

                      Re: Mark Farley

                      It's about leadership and control of the team. The QB is the leader, and has to be, or we end up with the 2009 season. This year we have two capable leaders, but dad hasn't given either of them the car keys. I really hope we hear a firm statement of "Rennie is our QB" from Farley tomorrow. Anything short of that and I will be disappointed and will be fearful for the rest of the season.

                        This.

                        Let's say there is no other things that will affect how well a QB does with his team (re: assuming my post above is all BS. It isn't, but we will pretend). If neither QB is given control of the team neither QB will, or even can, control the team.

                          I'm very upset as a fan that Farley being the so call head coach has made us have to take these important close losses before he finally see's that he needs to name a true starter at qb so that the offense can play as one unit as they did in the second half. If he doesn't notice that by now its time for him to go, an let someone else that isn't afraid to make an stand by there decisions handle this special unit of explosive players we have

                            We recruited players to the system, you can't change that system and bring in a JUCO QB that doesn't fit everything else you have recruited for ten years. Name Davis your starter and use Collins, Herring, Oordt, and crew to the best of their abilities.

                              Mark Farley is starting to remind me of Dan McCarney. Continuous repeated mistakes and terrible decisions related to the use of timeouts and overall in game management. How many games do we have to lose the same way until Farley starts feeling some heat?
