In reply to kt37. I am more likely to remember all the 5 yard-toss-into-the-ground-behind-the-receiver plays. #pessimism?

I still cannot get out of my head the pass that Crist made to John Goodman two years ago in the Washington State game. I love Tommy Rees and how he shook of four turnovers in the USC game, but I just don’t think he could ever make that throw.

In reply to domer_mq. Sorry about the tude. So you think Tommy was reading the defense before every snap like Dayne was? Watch Tommy look at the sideline a lot, I think Kelly was making the audibles to make it easier on Rees. As he should, Tommy was a true freshman. I suggest you buff up on your actual knowledge of the quarterback play.

In reply to pchristner9.

I’m gonna have to stop you right here. 1, I’m not really loving the ‘tude you’re throwing fellow commenters. 2, anyone who followed ND for half a micro-second last year learned that the cards were being used by Kelly because he felt that other teams had deciphered the signals they’d been using earlier in the season.
I suggest you buff up your actual knowledge of the program and tone down the ‘tude.

In reply to Buzz. That's because Rees was running a very simple offense. Did NBC keep showing the huge play cards when Crist was playing QB? I don't believe so. Rees wasn't asked to make those reads prior to the snap. That's why you always see him looking to the sideline, and Kelly would make the audible if necessary. Have you every watched football??????

Crist lost to Navy, but Rees lost to Tulsa. Let me repeat, TULSA. I know Crist started the game, but Rees played most of it. Should I say it again, TULSA. If you dog Crist for NAVY, you have to dog Rees for TULSA. I get tired of the Rees was undefeated line. What did Crist play 1 drive of Tulsa, or maybe a couple.

So, you won’t hang losses on a QB but you will credit them for the wins? How about putting up the run and defense stats as well?

“…and Crist is a bit safer with the ball.” What? Try 60% safer with the ball. Rees had 8 INTs in 4 games!
