Who would you start at QB for the Gophers next week at Iowa?
Demry opened up the run a bit, but man, those INTs were..... not good.
Fleck should not have brought Rhoda back. Took reps away from Morgan. Croft averaging 3 yards a carry doesn't open anything. He is not our future. He should go ahead and transfer to Mankato or USD. MAYBE he could start there. Maybe.
Even if Croft is our backup next year, getting him more experience this year is important.

What you said combined with the fact that he can run is why I would stick with Croft going forward. Our passing offense has been terrible in Big Ten games so in order to compete we are going to have to be able to run as teams are going to load up and try to make us throw the ball. With Rhoda, the QB run is off the table so at least with Croft you make it a little harder on the opposing defense since they have to account for him keeping the ball.
Honestly, if the staff thinks Morgan is ready at all I would be real tempted to play him and start developing him for the future. I don't think Croft will ever amount to more then a backup at this level so while it makes more sense to play him then Rhoda, I don't really have high hopes that the added playing time is going to turn him into anything. With Croft I always come back to the fact that a QB with his size and speed doesn't get overlooked by everyone unless there is a reason. I think that reason was on full display yesterday.
Green appears to be an afterthought at this point meaning he must be looking awful in practice to not be able to beat out Rhoda or Croft.
The unfortunate part is that at this point we don't really have a good option, so to me you go with the most athletic guy and just pray he doesn't kill you with a terrible pick or 3.

Croft just never looked comfortable. It might be that being a starter is the cause. I’d start Rhoda first couple series and bring Croft in if he stalls.

One thing is for sure - I do NOT want to see Rhoda on the field again. Our offense becomes so constipated it makes me uncomfortable to watch.
Our running game is better with Croft. Our passing game seems to be better with Rhoda. Considering we have 1 good WR, I'd stick with Croft.
