The saddest picture ever...

Crist has handled himself with a hell of a lot more class than Kelly, that's for sure. After the prolonged dog and pony show in the spring and summer, Crist found himself coronated and benched in a week's time.
Sure he made a couple of high profile blunders. So did Jonas Gray. Kelly reacted completely differently in each case. With Gray, he pumped him up and challenged him. With Crist, he put him in mothballs.
Crist has two qualities that Rees lacks, a strong arm and the ability to run the football. Imagine these two dimensions being added to the arsenal. Those traits may earn him a tryout in the NFL one day. Rees will never get that chance.
I fully expect Crist to transfer and play elsewhere next year. Perhaps for Florida ?

Kelly really screwed Dayne over this year. Not saying he shouldnt have been pulled in that first game, but by letting Turnover Tommy play the whole season with basically free reign and not giving Dayne a shot when Tommy played like crap (every game) was BS. BK in my book can hit the road as far as Im concerned. In 2-3 years you all will be on the band wagon saying the same thing.

While I believe Dayne didn't get the same number and types of chances that Rees got, I still want (and expect) BK to do well. Sounds like you have an axe to grind merlin.

Crist by all accounts is a great young man. He has a great degree and will do very well in whatever field he chooses. He is not a good qb.

Perfect, George!!! Especially that first sentence. Kelly kept all of us in suspense all Spring. Apparently, he saw something in Crist to anoint him the starter and at halftime of the 1st game, he is benched.
Tommy Rees followed with several poor performances loaded with fumbles and Interceptions. Crist was basically done. While Crist has been a class teammate since he was benched, one day in the future, I would love to hear his thoughts about how he was handled by Brian Kelly. I have never used this stupid up/down arrow function but I liked your post so much, I'm going to click on this stupid green arrow!!!

I saw this and got all chocked up.....Its been a good season, filled with ups and downs. I just cant help to wonder what might have been with Dayne. I just really feel like Kelly did wrong by him.

Amen.

LOL. I just want to know what block you live on so I can stay as far away as possible....
I'm probably wrong but I think he has a shot.

I don't think you are wrong, I thnk he will get a shot and make a team. Kelly not only did Crist wrong, but the team and fans as well.
