BC Gameday...

[oldpinepoint]

Yet again, I don’t have to waste my Saturday on this crap!

These night games are amazing when we’re bad.

I vote for Saturday games only when we’re good, otherwise go for as many Thursdays and Fridays as possible.

So many leaves to rake!

 

[CuseLegacy]

Oh St Anthony of Padua.....

 

[tptcuse]

Wait, how do you know CRDW wasn’t QB1 this week in practice. Or at least after they knew Wednesday?

I believe the point was that with all of these beatdowns, if Shrader's arm was hurting, why not give CDRW some run earlier?

 

[RF2044]

It's official: we're snakebit.

Silly me for looking forward to tonight's game.

 

[kcsu]

it was during the commercial break.

Hés been off all year. This explains it. Probably shouldn't have come back this year or pushed surgery off until post season.

 

[qdawgg]

I’m excited for the game now. Seriously. At least we’ll some throws past the 20 yard line thrown at 100 mph. And I’m alright with that.

 

[TheHaze315]

Well, some board members were asking for it. Can the offense get any worse? CDRW will let us know

If it can be any worse, we’re in for a long game.

 

[SUinNWE]

Shrader couldn't throw against Army it was very noticeable he has been off all season. And Dino hasn't given Carlos any run during the 4 blow outs. Unreal.

This is the point I was making. Shrader has been a shell of himself for over a month. Either Dino doesn't talk to his QB or he's incompetent, or both.

 

[Dinkyspond]

Remember last game when CDRW was caught on TV laughing during the VT blowout, now he's the starting QB, no laughing tonight

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Well, there will be more threat of a forward pass seemingly tonight. Hate seeing Shrader go out like this but it's been a rough stretch.

 

[OrangeDW]

Nah. Show confidence in the kid and let him air it out

If we are going to go down at least do so throwing haymakers

Yup, I’m so sick of the turtling up, scared crap.

Let it rip. Maybe he’ll do better, Shrader hasn’t played good since Purdue anyway.

What’s the worst that happens? He throws a bunch of picks and we lose by 40? Would just be a different way to get the same result we’ve been getting every week, so who cares?

 

[GoCuse14]

True. Good point.

 

[SuFTW]

Game experience the last 4 games. If he was clearly hurt then CDRW should have gotten much more playing time

Obviously hoping he would get better.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Hés been off all year. This explains it. Probably shouldn't have come back this year or pushed surgery off until post season.

I couldn't agree more.

Yup lets sling it around and see what happens. No excuses for limiting the playbook he has been here long enough to know all the plays.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

First play of the game, air it out to Gill!! They probably have good chemistry being backups.

 

[oldpinepoint]

Obviously hoping he would get better.

From experience injuries don’t get better during the season especially shoulders, you try to manager then but typically they get worse

Interesting point you're raising. I have no idea what to expect from cdrw, not enough game action to have any consistent opinion. But at least he'll be able to throw.

Doesn't mean he'll be successful, or throw well. But he won't be trying to pass with one arm tied behind his back.

Hope he does well.

 

[richmondcuse03]

I just can't wrap my head around the management of this situation. There's no way Dino didn't know that this situation was possibly coming. Over the last four games, he did nothing to prepare the team/CDRW. Fire-able offense, outside of the product on the field the last month.

Honestly, this may be the worst thing he’s done. It’s irresponsible. No wonder the team probably quit on him. Scheme a different qb up who can at least throw the ball.

 

[orangenauburn]

Run out five wides and deep outs, Danny V over the middle, Allen on swing passes, mid posts, ten yard curls

Let's do something

 

[CuseLegacy]

 

[OrangeDW]

Don McPherson said Shrader told him before the Virginia Tech game that he could barely throw the ball. Said he was 6 months into a surgery that takes two years to recover from. Ouch.

Was a medical redshirt not an option?

 

[CuseLegacy]

 

[SuFTW]

From experience injuries don’t get better during the season especially shoulders, you try to manager then but typically they get worse

Shoulder or elbow? Clearly they thought we were better off with a hobbled Shrader than a full go CDRW.

 

[orangenauburn]

So should we assume Shrader done for year and they will play this coy game week by week?

Hopefully Davis is ready as QB2, because this would be the most Cuse thing ever for CDRW to get an owie tonighy
