Much has been written about both Crist & Rees everywhere. I’m going to try another angle.

Just consider the outcome of the QB situation from Rees perspective. Unheralded prospect ranked after Hendrix, Massa and maybe even Montana on depth chart. Knows Crist will probably be starter for at least 1 or more years–plenty of time for him and just maybe he can compete with guys in his class. Not much expected of him and— I actually thought he was more of a running QB.

His nightmare starts with Crist injury but somehow he wins 4 games as a fill in–maybe I can play this game. So he comes out for 2011 season competing against Hendrix and Massa and Golson for 2nd spot–Dayne’s the guy–senior, leader and all around great guy–teammates love him and he takes me under his wing to help me be a better QB–sorta like the All American big brother.

1st game 2011–half time–Kelly yanks Crist and benches him for the season.
All hell breaks out on the team and Rees right in middle of a schism that is still festering—Dayne leaves team and won’t be at Bowl Game.

While all that going on in-house Rees is blistered on game reviews everywhere–5 yard Tommy etc

How the hell would you like to be in this kid’s shoes?
