I'll admit I'd forgotten about the concussion, and wonder how this battle would have turned out without the injury. I still think Roper is the better QB.

I like Selle's running (and non-fumbling when he DOES run) ability. So fuckin' sue me. Selle AIN'T leading this team to the promised land. Mark my words.
As far as Roper goes...he is a good QB but the fact that he came from a spread option offense is making the transition to our offense hard on him. He rarely sets his feet to make his throws and although he has a tremendous arm it gets him in trouble.
The other thing you are sweeping under the rug as far as Roper's playing time this year is that he was in there at a much bigger clip BEFORE he got his concussion. I believe the coaches are doing what they think is best for him in the last month and limiting the hits he's taking because of that injury and giving him a chance to really recuperate from said injury.
You are one of those guys that always thinks he has a handle on what's going on and that you know better how or who should be in place to win games than the coaches. They see the guys every day whereas we see them one day a week and yet you think you know more than the guys who's livelihood depends on them winning.

He may be but as I said he is more erratic and has not shown that he is the better QB at this point and he has had more opportunity to do so than most backups would have had at this point in the season.AZGrizFan wrote:I'll admit I'd forgotten about the concussion, and wonder how this battle would have turned out without the injury.

I really thought they would work on his footwork and get him settled down a little more by this point in the season but it is not happening. I'm sure the concussion has something to do with his progress but they gotta get that resolved for him to replace Selle who also has a habit of badly missing receivers when he's having an off day. Selle is very good and his numbers would be uncanny if he was not overthrowing like he has a tendency to do sometimes. I'm hoping he gets just a little better at that and the offense would be freaking unbelievable.

He is very good right now and I'm happy with that. Roper is good as well and has much experience, I'm happy for that also. I hope both get a couple of issues worked out and they will both be fucking incredible QB's but at this point I can't see replacing Selle with Roper if neither makes the necessary improvements to se themselves apart.
