Radcliff Haters Can Shut Up
Guy finishes the year with 23 TD and 9 INT.
Never a great QB but good in my opinion, kept us in games. Glad to see him go out with a win.

We got lucky on what should have been a pick-six, for example.  But he was money when it counted most, and I'm glad for both him and the team. They go out winners in the postseason on national TV. |

The kid drove me nuts at times, but it's great for him to have a 3 TD, 0 INT performance in a bowl win for his last game. Happy for him.

Then again, he threw it 29 times so it's a give that there will be some bad throws.

A fitting end to a very good season for RR.

Re: Radcliff Haters Can Shut Up
The kid was much maligned, and he is what he is. RR and the staff learned how to have him not lose games for us, by becoming a game manager as Zurlon developed. At the end of the day RR can put "PAID" on a career that finished with him as a bowl MVP and the numbers will look good in the CMU record book. After what we've been through for three years, it's as good a finish to the RR years as we could've hoped for.
Now, let the Cooper Rush era begin!!!

Re: Radcliff Haters Can Shut Up
He will go down as one of the top quarterbacks all time at CMU as far as stats and the record books are concerned. He will also go down as one of the least appreciated.
I agree with A10 in the next post. I wish RR well and hope he has success in everthing he does from here on out. I expect him to represent the C with pride. But I also am ready to move on.

Re: Radcliff Haters Can Shut Up
I'm happy for him, and us. Much maligned maybe, but always made the fans a nervous wreck as we never knew who would catch it, where he would throw it or what would happen to the ball when he had it. Glad he pulled out the win. Excited for the seniors who have been through so much. I'm glad he is finished. We will start fresh and suffer the growing pains, but I expect RR will soon be forgotten as nothing more than a journeyman qb that somehow had the never ending loyalty of his head coach.
WMU = Ship of Fools

RE: Radcliff Haters Can Shut Up
He missed a lot of open receivers high/wide. Ready for the next man in!

What a perfect way for Radcliff and Wilson to end their CMU careers! With the offense we had this season we really should have won more than 7 games

Re: Radcliff Haters Can Shut Up
I'm happy for the kid, considering how much we all bash him on here. I'm sure there was a lot of pressure on his shoulders.
That said, up until the last scoring drive I was convinced he was gonna cost us the game. Several throws off the mark and was lucky to not have a few passes intercepted.
Good for him that he was able to finish his career on a high note. I'm sure he'll represent the university in a good light from here on out.

Re: Radcliff Haters Can Shut Up
Love Radcliff. He's a great guy with a lot of talent. Unfortunately, he lacked field vision, he stared down too many receivers, and his over/under throws were nothing short of painfully irritating. But in the end, he won 7 games including a bowl game this year and managed to have a pretty good statistical year. I'll take a QB with 3000 yards, 20+ TD's and <10 INT every year.
Definitely helped him having Tipton. That man.... so good.

RR did what we needed to win. He had his moments but then again don't most QBs. I am glad to see him go out with a win, it has been a tough season for him. I hope he had a good time last night.
PROUD TO BE A CHIPPEWA

Proud of RR for hanging in there. He is a great student athlete with wpnderful parents. He will represent the C well in his future endeavors.
Remember him fondly next year when we are breaking in a new QB with no playing time this year.

RE: Radcliff Haters Can Shut Up
As I posted on another post, I expect Ryan Radcliff to be drafted by an NFL team higher than Dan LeFevour was! And, very possibly have a pretty good NFL career! I believe he has many of the "skills" NFL teams require!

I believe he has many of the "skills" NFL teams require! I'm not saying there won't be interest; his arm strength and stats will at least get him a workout or two, but I'd be suprised if RR is drafted. He's been too inconsistent over his career. The 2nd quarter last night and a couple plays in the 3rd quarter were classic examples. There were at least two lazy / late passes that could have been picked, and one of those would have been a score, and there were a couple overthrows to wide-open receivers, along with the fumble that killed a possible FG drive just before the half. I wouldn't be shocked to seem him make someone's camp as a FA, but RR would be a definite project, IMHO. He's a Tony Romo type if there ever was one. |

RE: Radcliff Haters Can Shut Up
Ryan is a great kid.Yes a raw nfl arm like Romo and Farve but not near their gunslinger confidence and he moves like cold honey.

Re: Radcliff Haters Can Shut Up
From everything I hear, RR is a good guy, and I’m glad he ends his career on a high note. Having said that, I do look forward to breaking in a new QB next year. The bowl game showed RR at his best in the first quarter, but later showed some of his traits that have made me extremely nervous over the past few seasons. Overall he had a good game last night, yet I was still relieved that we wouldn’t need to depend on him in OT. I don’t see him having much chance of playing in the NFL. The game speeds up considerably, and there is so much more pressure there. Some of the qualities I’ve seen lacking in him are the very things that NFL play requires. Even if some coach could break him of his habit of staring down receivers, and teach him to get through his progressions much quicker (which would make me wonder what’s wrong with our coaches), I still don’t see the swagger and confidence in him that is needed at that level. But whatever he ends up doing, I wish him the best in life going forward. |

Re: Radcliff Haters Can Shut Up
I'm pretty confident that Radcliff will get a shot. But I don't see him making a roster, maybe he could as a 3rd stringer. He's got a great arm but it's his decision making. I would be amazed if he got drafted.
