honestly, i use to want arndt to start at qb but rutherford has grown on me. i dont think hes the problem.. hes ran well, his arm has looked decent and hes been accurate. i think our two biggest problems are pass rushing(we seem to get absolutely no pressure on opposing qbs) and inconsistent play calling in the second half. the coachs seem to stop calling plays to win the game and start calling plays to not lose the game..
