Rettig will probably win the starting job next year.

[Extra Point]

He will have learned the system this year and he probably will excel next year.

 

[superfan01]

Assuming he doesn't leave

 

[redking]

...at Stanford after a hardship transfer. Kevin Hogan graduates so the starting job is open.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Rettig will probably win the starting job next year.

Well, he's gonna have one Michael Dare in addition to Laviano to compete with.

 

[Caliknight]

He won't be around next year to win it if things don't change.

 

[MS-RU]

I highly doubt that because Laviano will get the Nova treatment as long as Flood is around.

 

[Extra Point]

Mmm, forgot about Dare. Dare may very well be the guy if he lights it up in Spring. It's the coaches problem not mine.

 

[NickKnight 1]

So if Flood doesn't change his mind, Rettig won't have any experience over Dare.
This is turning into a nightmare.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Well, he's gonna have one Michael Dare in addition to Laviano to compete with.

I'd be surprised - although pleasantly - if Dare ever starts a game at this level.

 

[lighty]

Somehow I don't think the decision will be up to Flood. Financial problems or not, I think he's not coming back.

 

[OldManRiver]

Depends on who has the rubber duck secret....no?

 

[StyleKnight]

Good chance there will be a new system to learn next year.

 

[Rutgers Man 22]

I'd be surprised - although pleasantly - if Dare ever starts a game at this level.

Same here. I see him like Bimonte. Sit the bench, be a good backup and ready to play when needed for 3 years, and then transfer to some low level school after he gets his degree. Laviano, Rettig, and Russo (assuming we keep him) all seem to be a step above him. Rescigno is probably better than him too, but who knows.

 

[ATLScarletKnight]

I'd be surprised - although pleasantly - if Dare ever starts a game at this level.

I said the same exact thing about Bimonte and was yelled at and told I was being negative.....the same Bimonte who is a back up at Monmouth.

 

[RUfan121]

He won't be here.

 

[Knight Shift]

I said the same exact thing about Bimonte and was yelled at and told I was being negative.....the same Bimonte who is a back up at Monmouth.

The same Bimonte who quit the team after he did not get the starting job at Monmouth. Not being negative, just clarifying the facts.

 

[rube1859]

Better pray to the Pope that he is still here next year.

 

[NickKnight 1]

If we are beating Kansas by 4 touchdowns at the half, will Retigg
play? I say if he doesn't the handwriting is on the wall. If we are losing by 4
I say we don't see him then either.

 

[RUinPAC10land]

Nope. he will not see action in this game barring injury and will probably not see action for the rest of the season. Flood has really bad judgement when it comes to QBs.

 

[RUScrew85]

I doubt it.

 

[LotusAggressor]

If he does, whoever the backup is will magically become Joe Montana in the eyes of the fanbase.

 

[brucelaw8]

It's Rettig,not the fact that he is the backup.He would get very strong support if he is given a shot.He doesn't have to be Montana,but he has star potential.

Just to refresh your memories, Joe Montana was just an average QB at Notre Dame
In fact Bill Walsh did every thing he could to trade up for Phil Simms, his first
choice, Finally in the third round Walsh he settled for Montana.

 

[RU#1fan]

Flood will be gone so Rettig gets his opportunity.

 

[NickKnight 1]

Flood will be gone so Rettig gets his opportunity.

Then both QBs will have to learn a new system. Which might even out the
competition.
