He reads the defense well, has good feet, keeps his eyes up on the move, and is decently athletic. Some of his mid level balls are on target but a bit low. Id also like to see his deep balls get a bit more distance.
I saw some drops on his tape too. Good long throws in the books as incomplete passes.
I won’t go back too far but we have had many since say 2004 who would have been legit or more than legit Big QB’s Some of them were gifted enough to be top half of the BIG. Others were on 2 BIG programs and started games and won games in the BIG which makes them legit. You can question them all you want. We have not had a Heisman level QB or Top 3 Big QB but a few could have been at that Top 3 level. It helps when they are surrounded by NFL talent at most positions.
I’m not questioning their abilities. Just questioning the success rate. It’s been hit or miss for sure.
I don’t think it’s a question of the past QBs abilities because they all were definitely good kids with abilities to thrive if they landed in the right system . RU has continued to be a location where once they get here it’s like getting your feet stuck in Muddddd , and I put the problem of developing QBs squarely on GS’s front door step, it’s no coincidence that when QB’s transfer or leave NJ to play at other programs they do very well , and that’s one of the reasons why people get upset because we hear so often about NJ QBs or even position players lighting things up outside the state of RU.
While he was never a fan favorite, perhaps the biggest QB crime was 2016 and what Ash/Mehringer did with Laviano.
He did not send his son here to play football. He played lacrosse and only football toward the end. So no, being on the football team was not a ringing endorsement
The biggest crime was playing Ryan Cubit bc his dad was OC over Chad Schwenk who outplayed him clearly
His ability isn't the question. What kind of coaching he gets is.
You can't possibly be saying that Bill Belichick doesn't believe in the Rutgers Football program, can you? I must be misunderstanding your post.
Still cool to be able to live on both land and water though.
Yes, he does respect Schiano as a coach. I think it was his recommendation that got Schiano the Tampa job. I was refuting that he sent his son here to play football. His son came here for lacrosse and joined the football team only at the end to segue into football while he still had eligibility….giving him brief experience and priming him for coaching.
How did that recommendation work out? The fact is the current HC of the Patriots has yet to prove he can win anything without the help of Tom Brady. Should we really be following his advice on who to hire and fire?
Flacco was a Delaware product that went to the NFL Pitt might have got him first, but the Blue Hens developed him into pro material.
Savage proved himself his freshman year at Rutgers then went to Arizona because RU soph year didn't go as good as it should have..
