I'm still surprised at how many people are still making excuses for Rudock's performance (especially in the press). In Jon Miller's instant reaction podcast today he compares discussing the QB controversy to "peeing into the wind" which he then feels the need to explain in detail (peeing into the wind, not the QB controversy).
Honestly, the QB controversy seems to me like the most worthwhile discussion there is right now. At this point in the season I think there is probably very little we can do to significantly improve our defensive play. In practice, they should continue to focus on the fundamentals especially tackling.
On offense however, significant improvement could occur by simply switching the QB. Or at the very least giving CJ a bigger role than what he has had so far. The receivers seem exponentially more comfortable catching a Bethard thrown ball than Rudock's (even when Rudock's are on target).
If we start Rudock next week against Wisconsin we will certainly be down early since he has shown us time after time that he cannot finish drives.
I think we can definitely expect some bad games from Bethard (once the inevitable occurs and he becomes the starter assuming he doesn't transfer), but that honestly doesn't bother me much. We've seen more than enough bad and more importantly BORING games from Rudock.
I agree, would give a thumbs up but this stupid site won't let me because someone gave it a thumbs down, and of course the coward who gives these thumbs down posts won't actually post a reply, because they have none.
