A dream come true if barely Div. 2 Marnard can not play. Ride out Bridgeford the rest of the year, and get Cline ready for 2013 and beyond. Hopefully with better coaching.

Hey parasite moron- what, exactly, is your point in calling Aaron Rodgers ‘Erin Rogers’? Are you trying to amaze and impress us with your extensive knowledge of football? Are you not concerned that you will be perceived as an idiot? Do you actually have a point?

Let us know your rationale. I am sure it will make all the sense in the world.LOL!!!

Oops – 2009 should be 2010. 2008 should be 2009. And 2008 was Awful Offense Bowl.

Jeff — you need to make the point that the play where Maynard was hurt was a dirty play. The Pac12 should not tolerate that, any more than Tosh recruiting Shaq for UW with a Cal shirt on should have been tolerated. Isn’t that the role of the third estate?

We know Tedford will give the same answers regardless of his real beliefs. Don’t be surprised. He won’t call out a player, opponent, referee, AD, or coach in public. The last time he did was Tosh at Injurygate. He’s completely shut down, he knows this should be his last season as Cal’s HC, and he doesn’t want to offend any potential employers/references for his future. Which of us would do any differently in the same circumstance?

“The program is fine; we had a down year.” – Jeff Tedford.

Really Coach? Just one down year?

3-7 this year, on our way to 3-9 (just one fewer game lost than Holmoe in his final season).

Last year, a 7-6 record and a Holiday Bowl embarrassment.

2009, a losing record.

2008, a mediocre season followed by a loss to a non-BCS school in a bottom-feeder bowl.

2007, an epic meltdown resulting in a free-fall from #2 in the country.

2006, Rose Bowl within our grasp, but your QB chokes @ Arizona and @ $UC (after an epic choke @ Tennessee).

2005: Starting 5-0 but then going 1-4 before Levy saved the day by being a decent QB.

Eight seasons. Zero quality quarterbacks. Two seasons with massive mid-year meltdowns (2005, 2007). Two losing seasons (2010, 2012). Two mediocre seasons with embarrassing bowl losses (2009, 2011). One mediocre season with a bowl victory that featured some of the worst offense I’d ever seen (thank goodness for Follett). And one good season (2006) that could have brought us a Rose Bowl but didn’t thanks to a lack of mental toughness in November.

Sorry Coach Tedford, but if you think that’s a program that’s “fine,” you’re delusional.

Carson Palmer is another reject U$C QB who sucks. 4 INTs to single handedly lose the game for the Raiders! Bring back Kyle Boller!

Maynard should rest his knee. He has a bright future up ahead in the NFL!

He has the second most impressive stats next of all of the Tedford era QBs next to Erin Rogers.

I will be very disappointed if Maynard plays another down this season. He’s had all the opportunity to show what he can do, and the result is one of the worst records of the modern Cal era. I know it’s not all his fault with the weak offensive line and all, but I truly want this team to start building towards next year.

Bridgford showed me enough in his minutes in the Washington game that he just might improve with game experience. Some might say it’s throwing the young man to the dogs with the best team on the West Coast coming to Berkeley this week, but we shouldn’t forget that Ohio State is going to come calling early next year. From what I have observed, Bridgford has been a very suportive team guy on the sidelines and deserves this shot. And then let the quarterback competition open up in earnest over spring ball.

Bigelow who? Tedford, please play one of your other 46982 QBs to see what we have there? We know what ZM brings and doesn’t. Nothing left this year to shoot for, please think forward and get some guys ready…

Juancho- great, and correct, point on Harper. Also, this guy Bigelow, who has had a few carries, has looked OK. Might be pretty good, maybe look forward to seeing next year too.
