Yeah, don’t understand if he is so old school that he thinks it could possibly create a QB controversy and that Romfo is his guy.  The thing is that you are going to need the backup to perform at some juncture in the game today, especially when you have a running QB, and with the size and speed of players the QB is going to get dinged up at some point, even if only for a few series.

I also am perplexed on this not putting back up QB in, I remember Roger Thomas keeping the starting O-Line with the back up QB and go a least a series before subbing more O-Line. Great opportunity for live reps with starting o-line.

Serious questions... do you think this O line would give Jerry the pass protection he needs to do what you want? They have been good at run blocking, but even with Romfo (who can run well) when that pocket collapsed, it happened fast. Do Jerry have the ability and the mentality to escape fast AND make something happen? I have no doubt that with time he has the stronger (and maybe the more accurate) arm, but is the level of maturity and smarts there? Whatever the answer, he needs to at least get some game reps over the next two weeks (assuming we are in control of both games late.

we might never know...just like trey...we will never know.

I was talking about his coaching.

How many QBs are in the nfl because of him ?

Here is a graphic of Big Sky leaders Saturday games.  Hunter Hays.  TDs and passing yards.  I believe he only the second half.

I'm glad the 3rd QB for Idaho State didn't start or it would be a much difference game.  He threw for 4 TDs.  They will win some games.

Opposing 3rd string QBs are UND's kryptonite.

UND has shown that propensity, particularly if they are mobile.
At least for this instance, I'm going to buy into they dialed back quite a bit of the pressure stuff after they were up 38-0, worked on some basics and other things to try them out in a game situation.

Defense has done a lot of good things this year. Two more weeks of having a chance to iron things out until the schedule gets a bit tougher.

I bet that second string QB contemplated life choices on the trip home.

Was he the guy that threw the Pick Six?

I believe so

Yes, in for 1 play I believe,  got yanked and watched the 3rd stringer give us fits.  His head is likely damaged.

[90siouxfan]

Maybe Bubba has seen a back up do something similar and now he is squeamish about QB changes?

Yes,  like second play for him.

I know Simon had some (some will say several) one hopped throws, maybe the coaches will try what Cleveland did for Rube Baker to get him to throw back to the pitcher. 
 

I thought to add some humor on a Monday.

Awesome.

What caused the skipped passes by Simon. Is it his footwork? A confidence issue? Correctable

yes...his footwork is suspect and a not so strong arm....lack of height to see downfield....all of the above.

but completion %

Roll out is key.  Completion 65+ not bad.  Unless you ride a bicycle.

Just looked like he rushed it, had a few extra seconds to make it happen (close circuit to Tommy Two Gloves Haters - that was an automatic for him)

[UNDColorado]

It really doesn't matter who the QB is. Someone on this forum will throw a fit.

Also, if Jerry doesn't see quality time this week and next week then I have some serious questions.
