Rockne's Roundtable

Crist certainly will go down as a quality kid that handles himself with dignity and poise. off the field.
Bad luck on the field.
Wish him the best. Will be interesting how he does next year.

You are right lets give it up for Dayne Crist for how he handled himself here.

I also think its unfair to characterize this as only a QB issue. If you look at the years and the QBs that changed teams, the carousel of coaching changes had some impact on this.Each coach had their own offensive scheme. Also their ability to develop players also came into question. Lastly, I also think that some of the coaches were not necessarily the best recruiters (finding talent for all scholarships vs just the top few players)

Great kid, great attitude, great compassion for others. I wish him nothing but success.

WilliamScully13,

We did include Massa among the quarterbacks, but we couldn't put Spond and Roback in that group because from the outset they were pegged to play defense.

Roback was at safety maybe a week before he decided he wanted to go elsewhere. He told us he wanted a chance to play QB. Spond also played LB from the get go and started on special teams in the 2010 opener.
