And now that crap from Reardon. Put your helmet on Strock.

You can't wrestle it away 10 seconds la ter and say it's an INT. HORRIBLE! At worst it was a tie which goes to the offense. But again, it was in the end zone and he was down and had possession of the ball at that point, play over TD. No different than a RB breaking the plane and then fumbling, as soon as he has possession in the end zone it's play over and TD. Freakin terrible to get screwed like this.

Great showing so far, we need to get some pressure up front on D, and the damn WRs need to hold onto the ball. Wayyyy too many dropped balls. If I'm Paul Haynes I'm taking every one of their gloves awY, in weather like this there's no need for them. I understand the frustration over the INTs from Reardon (2nd was horrible and 3rd was on the refs) but Strock needs to stay on the bench, he's out there looking lost and so unsure of things.

Polish Hammer Your constant trash talking about Strock is uncalled for I know you will come back with some more BS Reardon is horriable and you know it but how does a freshman come off the bench and get three plays A QB needs to get a rythem Strock has thrown three long passes and all three we have gotten pass interference calls That in my book are completions. He has not forced a pass he has taken some big hits and not fumbled He has an excellent arm You trashed him last game too but his first pass was dropped and 3 and out, , no chance to settle in It is so blatent you are a Reardon faithfull if you think you no it all all I can say is if you only new

You are so right but putting him in for three plays is so wrong let him play atleast he does not make horriable plays 5 turnovers by Reardon Strock needs a fair opportunity

Constant trash talking? From a guy with all of two posts. No Reardon faithful but he is clearly the best we have at the position and Strock looks lost out there plain and simple.

Constant trash talking? I've ever only commented on Strock twice, this game and in the Ohio State debacle so give me a freaking break!

UVA: "I understand the frustration over the INTs from Reardon (2nd was horrible and 3rd was on the refs) but Strock needs to stay on the bench, he's out there looking lost and so unsure of things."

OSU: "Strock was thrown in for a spark and looked terrible (1-7); but I wouldn't doubt we see him get a series here and there."

Reardon threw 3 picks, two on him, one on the refs and two fumbles courtesy of a poor performance in front of him. He was running for his life out there at times and so many balls were dropped early. No blocking and no running game means they blitz and tee off on him and we needed to keep our TE in to pick up the rush.

Polish Hammer did not expect anything else from you I think maybe I do not need to be a poster to know football Reardon is horriable and yes he was running a couple times for his life but typical Reardon forces the pass or doesnt protect it The passes he does complete most are low or behind the reciever. Strock first pass at Ohio was dropped Two had interference calls Where were you 1 he did not force it and threw it out of bounds Today no bad throws maybe some bad play calling for both qb's But Reardon him self will yell you Strock has a much better arm and if I am not wrong Strocks team did win both scrimages 2,s against 1s pretty much your such a big poster ask Reardon himself you might be surprised

"Horriable" indeed!

It might as well be since it's obvious what's going on, we've seen this before right here from other people close to other players.

Reardon looked pretty bad today but it's tough to put it all on him. There were A LOT of drops particularly on key plays. I've thought his ball placement had been poor most of the season but several of the drops today were pretty close to perfectly placed. Also, the line wasn't helping him out much and there is no running game to take the heat off him. With that said, I have my doubts that he's a D1 caliber starter. At this point what I want to see from the rest of the season is our young backs start to produce, our young receivers start to catch passes, and a QB look like a starter. If those things happen I might be optimistic heading into next year. If not, they need to start serving hard liquor at games.

One thought. I wonder why we haven't tried to find a rushing QB in awhile. The best QBs in recent memory were both big time runners (Cribbs and Edelman). Sure Keith's team had a better season than them but he was a great game manager that had the weapons around him to where he didn't need to carry the team, a luxury which most MAC QBs will never know.

I will weigh in. I don't know who is better. I assume Reardon is better since he won the job and has a year of experience under his belt, but I also agree if you put Strock in the game you have to give him a few series to see what he can really do. Regardless, we stink. We can't run the ball at all and when you are 1 dimensional you are going to have a hard time beating anyone. Here is hoping we get better as the competition gets more in line with who we are.

I love our football team. Took UVA -28. Our basketball team will receive a check for 200 this week. I must admit I was nervous in the first quarter.

Hope you won more than the basketball team!

While I understand the disappointment in the team's play, I think leeway must be given to the fact that they lost one of their teammates right before the season started. This team is probably still grieving and it is probably affecting their performance.

"I still think Colin is our best option,'' Haynes said. "I am not a two quarterback guy."

Been out of the country, but upon return yesterday, I watched the replay. Our main problem is that Hazell left at the right time. He won with Martin's recruits and left the cupboard bare. I am encouraged with our young recruits except for the skill positions. I do believe that Reardon is a legit D1 QB. Strock may be also but Reardon is our best option. Also, do not doubt the offense of Rock. When he had speed and size, and 10-0, no one was questioning the play calling. At a point, play calling becomes over estimated. Talent makes coaches look like geniuses. The mistakes are what is killing us. Please coach, go out and get some speed and a good sized back. Receivers who hold onto the ball would help alot.

Likewise. Man....a tough year thus far. Running game, run D, depth, and a number of other aspects lacking. Humphrey and Pierce could be real weapons with a decent ground threat. It's just not there.

I agree with alot of what your saying but tell me why is Reardon the best choice? He makes poor decisions misses alot of wide open throws when he does make a throw he usally is throwing behind or low setting are recievers up for big hits. Why not give Strock a chance what do we have to loose? I really beleave that most flash fans do not realize what they have in Strock. The young man deverves a shot he can do no worse! 122 nd in the country on offense. We need a Quarter back that gives us a chance to spread the field out and throw down field Strock has the better arm and deverves a chance
