Odysseus in the movie Troy: “It’s no insult to say a dead man is dead.”
I learn all important life lessons from movies

Not sure if you are serious or not but he is back at SW Miss CC and appears to be playing WR.
He isn't. Someone must have said they thought NM was gonna be good so now JG finds that funny. Similar to how I would find it funny had he "educated" me on how Silver would never redshirt.

They had every intention of playing Silver until GM emerged this fall...
Of course they did. Whatever makes you sleep at night. Confusing why PJ made a point of mentioning he was a 3 to play 2 guy and how that was important at the signing social and likely 2 to 3 more times on post signing day interviews. Misdirection spoiled by that pesky GM19.

Should be Croft going forward. Really hopes he stops lobbing it in the air under pressure however.
^.... this. Floated a couple while backpedaling....one intending to go out of bounds, damn near didn't make it.
Why is this poll/question even being asked?
Because on sports message boards it is common to discuss the sports the board is dedicated to.
I just watched the replay and I don't understand why anyone would even entertain the idea of not starting Croft. After watching it again I came away really impressed. I could be overly optimistic but to me it looked like the gophers might actually have a playmaker at qb. Kid looked dynamic last night!
I totally agree. Anyone who says otherwise was either not watching the fourth quarter, or has some other agenda.
I found it interesting/annoying in the post-game presser to hear Fleck’s answer that he would have to watch film and think about it before he decides who to start against Illinois. Are you kidding me?? That can only be one of two things: Either his pride is too great to admit he has been starting the wrong QB, or he is still trying to punish Croft for his off-field behavior. I sure hope it’s the latter.
Coach needs to realize at this point that he would also be punishing and alienating his fans if he didn’t start Demry.
One more thing: I watched Croft answer questions at the Press conference. He said all the right things and smiled a lot. He seemed like a kid with an infectious personality. Let’s hope he continues where he left off and develops into a leader.

I don't think his answer was in regards to either one of your two takes. He said it that way, to still support Rhoda and value his contributions to the team thus far. Had Rhoda done even worse and when he was pulled from the game threw his helmet or yelled at some coaches on the sideline, then I could see PJ saying that Croft was the starter. Rhoda played, not well, but when Croft went in you didn't see Rhoda pouting on the sideline. He handled it with class, so PJ is doing the classy thing and saying he needs to evaluate the film first before making a decision. It gives them some time to see what went well and what went wrong with both in at QB. Finally, it will make Illinois prepare for both of them.

He has to answer that way. Part of coaching is managing egos, there are multiple players here and watching film you can see things that are easy to miss live. With that said it better be Croft
I have no problem starting Croft.
I am skeptical of how much Croft can reproduce the end of a Michigan St. game where the opposing team had a lead, it was rainy, and they basically gave us the middle of the field to play with.....
I'd still take a chance with him, I just don't think it is THAT clear as folks make it out to be as to what you might get out of starting him.

I don't see how there is any other answer.Croft. Easy call.
