Well, I am not going to wait for the final word from our fearless leader CW. After watching the Crist play too many times, I am not as optimistic. It looked ugly and I am feeling ACL type injury. So, if this is the case and Jimmy decides to go NFL, we are without a QB until next fall.
With all this, expect CW to announce today that John Goodman will be starting to take some time at QB. I am bummed that Crist will miss time especially because I believe he is going to be a good QB and an even better leader, but am pretty relieved that we have a kid like Goodman. Goody, as he is called by most, is one heck of an athlete.
From all accounts, he has a cannon arm. It surely is not as accurate as Crist or Clausen, but his mobility is far beyond either of them. When a guy can create time in the pocket, he does not need as much accuracy because coverages break down.
Further positive with Goody is the fact he has been in the program for almost two full seasons now. He knows the WR patterns since he has been playing as one. He will have all spring and summer to get acclimated with the WR's.
In conclusion, I wish a speedy, healthy and full recovery to Dayne Crist. Good Luck and Get Well!! To John Goodman, seize the moment and have fun playing your favorite position, QB!!
Final Question? If Dayne is out with knee for the remainder of the season, can he get a medical redshirt for a possible sixth year. I know that this has been done by several people in college football in the past. In fact, I believe that someone on the USC D is a case this season.
