Pilot reports he has experienced seven incidents of rudder stiffness on landing and prior to departure taxi-out; followed by an EICAS rudder 1-2 inop; manual reversion message and master caution annunciation on emb-145 aircraft. Concerns raised that slowness in rudder response in manual reversion could affect controllability with an engine loss or uncommanded nose steering excursion on landing.

Narrative:
During cross wind flare; landing and roll out; rudder became very stiff. During roll out; we received a rudder 1-2 inoperative (inop) message; manual reversion. At gate; system reset per maintenance control; operational checks 'good.' this is the 4th 'rudder 1-2 inop' on four different embraer 145 aircraft I have experienced in as many weeks. It is the 5th one I'm aware of. Four weeks; five aircraft; five rudder 1-2 inops.
