When Does Rettig Get An EQUAL Chance With Carroo??

[JQRU91]

For a person Flood who didn't want a QB controversy has one by the way he handled this whole competition. Coming out saying he wants to have a QB in place 7-10 days then blowing through that timeline only to suspend a QB at the end of training camp. To then replacing Rettig first chance he can just doesn't give me the impression that Rettig was ever going to get a chance today.

If the team wasn't playing well Flood would be catching a lot of flak for this.

Laviano played well. But very impressed with Rettig. Showed a great deal of poise to go with his physical talents. He should start next week. And by the way, what the H was Grant doing in there late in the 2nd half fielding punts and James doing in there after the game was decided?

Rettig not happy on sideline talking to coaches. After lengthy conversation with McDaniels he hugged Rettig as if to console him.

I had my eye on them the whole time. I did not have the same impression
at all. After half time Rettig was passing the ball and seemed to be
enjoying him self and having a good time with everyone. Then coach
came up and they seem to be enjoying themselves. Sure I saw the hug but
it did not impress me it was a hug of consolence. How would you know that?
Now everyone is making comments about why he was mad. No way was
he mad. they were right in front of me. Then when the plays began he was really into it. giving signals, and cheering. And absolutely acting professional
all the way. leading the cheers really into the game.
Now i'll give my impression of what's going on. I feel that Flood wanted to
go with Laviano but the 1/2 game suspension happened. To me Rettig
was great, some really nice passes on the money.
I have been on Flood side 100 percent since the beginning not a basher,
at all. But to be fair Rettig should have played with Caroo. He is not the one
that messed up. He was a victim of Laviano's screw up. And no way
should the head coach make Rettig the victim because someone else screwed up. Laviano broke the rules and get's to play with not only
the best receiver, but also 3 other suspended players. Rettig played his
first minutes of collge football without 9 suspended players. He showed leadership,guts, running ability etc. No way he should not start the 2nd game
but I got this awful feeling in my gut. Flood wants Laviano to start.
To me this was a embarassing week, let's show the players, the fans,
and the media and all, the staff is very serious about the what happened,
and Rettig gets the chance, he deserves, and Laviano is the one that
has to prove himself..False ID's and drinking during preseason does not
show QB leadership. We condoned drunk driving, and all kinds of bad behavior, Give the job to Rettig until he screws. up. Wheather it's bad grades,
fighting, or just not doing on the field.

Carroo looked ridiculously wide open on his every-catch-a-TD streak. I'm not sure Norfolks defense isn't the "star" of that situation

W-A-A-A-H-H-H-H!!!!

What am I crying about now?

 

[ScarletKnightRider]

I am so glad that no one here is in charge of the QB decision and that all of these opinions mean absolutely nothing.

I am also glad that of all the things there could possibly be for a fanbase to complain about, we are fighting over which one of our QB's looked more awesome than the other. This is truly a stelllar problem to have.

Thirdly, I find it hilarious that Flood's policy on QB's has always been centered around avoiding having to deal with QB controversy... and now he has to deal with one. Quite ironic.

They asked Dave Milewski after the game was over and he was more impressed with Rettig. Lavaino just dumped some short passes and Carroo made some great plays.

As an old timer going back to Rutgers of the 1960s...this kid Rettig has NFL-type potential. If Kyle cannot see this he is blind.

Hey guess what, Rettig has already had plenty of time to prove himself with Caroo. They practice together every day.

I'm glad someone on this board has figured this out. Rettig is more of a gunslinger then Laviano. Where Laviano is more of a game manager, this favors Floods philosophy on offense, grind it out and be ultra conservative. A typical lineman's persona(Flood).
Laviano will be named the starter either today, or tomorrow. And, will remain the starter. The end of the half could have been Rettig's crowning jewel, but if you noticed Flood did not let it happen. He wants Laviano, plain and simple! I don't think when Caroo played had anything to do with it, Anyone could have caught passes against that team.
But, I would like to see what Laviano could have done without Caroo???
