Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Why did Roper get pulled?

The TV announcers stated that it was because he got his bell rung. I kinda doubted it--I suspected he didn't show much so Belotti pulled him--but I accepted it at face value, even though Roper seemed to be fine when he was talking to his parents on the sidelines.

But in this live blog by a Seattle PI reporter, she wrote during the third quarter that it was because of a hand injury.

Maybe just a mistake, but I get the feeling that while Costa may have been the #1, the battle for #2 wasn't really settled when he went down, and Roper was on a short leash. I just hope this doesn't lead to the coaches switching out QBs like Saturday night.

Thanks

Really changes my perspective on Roper’s play, if it happened that early in the game.

Nobody's on that short of a leash...

If Roper had gotten benched just for throwing a pick (after going 7/10, for 114 yds, 1 TD before that), his confidence would have been shot for the entire season. No coach would do that to a QB

Yep

Exactly correct.

I would be surprised

To see him play too much against Utah State though. It’s not like we need him…

Well actually

I would be 10 times more surprised if Masoli started.

yeah

as if Belotti has ever needed to make up an injury to justify yanking out a QB…
