True but if Lanning is so good why hasn't he been playing more?

If Rhoads wants to keep his job after this season it is time to take a risk and name Lanning the starter at QB. Sam Richardson while putting up some nice stats has not got the job done when it comes to WINS I am sick and tired of seeing the same old put out there without winning results.
Its not all on Richardson but even his best pass of the night on that 3rd and long was high and off target got his WR creamed.
We actually looked good against a D1 team for the first time in awhile. Hate to see that missed FG but would we be having this discussion if we had won?
What will? He may not be THE problem......but he certainly isn't THE answer. It shouldn't take the OL, WR's and rb's of the Green Bay Packers to make him serviceable. The guy is a fifth year senior and if you just starting watching.....some of his decisions would make one ask if he is just a freshman.For the last time, Richardson is not the problem. Putting in Lanning is not going to do anything to help win games.
This team's problems run so much deeper than who's under center. Changing QBs now is basically arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. But, if Rhoads is in full job saving mode now then he may as well put Lanning out there and see if the kid can provide a spark. And it kills me to agree with BodeClone, but yeah, once they go to Lanning then they have to stick with him. Whatever they do it can't be a revolving door at the position all season long. With a bye coming up and a winnable home game next on the schedule, this certainly looks like the perfect time to make the change if it's going to happen at all.
I like SR, he does a lot of things right, but when it is 4th and goal in OT I want a guy that will throw the ball up for grabs instead of stumbling around waiting to get sacked. I want someone that is more concerned about winning than making a bad play.
Lanning wouldn't do any better.

Probably not but that's not the point. He deserves a chance to suck just like everyone else on the team. At least it will be an interesting week leading up to the next game with a QB change coming. I don't know why so many embrace the staleness of this program.
