An elite defense, OL getting better, good running backs, and a mediocre Passing QB in year 3. What can we do about the QB position for next year?

What can we do about the QB position for next year?

I see play calling based upon the confidence in our Quarterback's progress.
Even so, Wimsatt is making the same passing mistakes in staring down the receiver, throwing into traffic in the middle, throwing high/wide, and throwing off balance into double/triple coverage. Multiple catches by Dremell ended in his catching and falling to the ground.

Over 40 years as a season ticketholder.
Am I being unreasonable?

I think the qb for next year is not currently on the roster. And I don't mean surace.

 

[mikemarc1]

Hire a dedicated QB coach

Agree, Surace is a great recruit, but Freshman need time to learn the system.
We need a proven graduate transfer QB.

... and I think we're gonna need a deeper, taller receiving corps to get that QB to come here.

By most indications, however, Rutgers is beginning to resemble a place those guys might want to go to school.

 

[rutgersdave]

transfer portal, a third of the starting college QB are from the transfer portal.
Schiano doesn’t get an extension until he addresses the QB situation.

Temple Qb is better.

 

[koleszar]

He's not a mediocre passing QB. He's at the bottom of all FBS QB's.

OL and RB was good enough today?

 

[WhiteBus]

Better then the QB

 

[winfield102]

Elite d? They got gouged by the worst offense in fbs. They are a solid defense, which is good.

Taller receivers? Dremel is 5'8 but everyone else is over 6'. What do they need Cliff Omoruyi out there?

 

[RCBeta79]

No, there was no excuse today for the many Illegal procedure penalties, but lack of a passing threat does not help the running game against an elite Iowa running defense.

Wimsatt seemed to have plenty of time on his passes in the pocket.
I don't recall him getting sacked.

 

[RUSJ73]

There are no positives from the offense today. And it could be very well be another shut out next week!

 

[shields]

The false starts were a joke today.

 

[KeithK7624]

Schiano still probably has PTSD from benching Savage years ago. Wimsatt makes the offense one dimensional.

 

[RUDivision]

Not an elite defense , below avg oline , good rb’s, worst passing QB in D1. Horrific coaching

 

[eddynyse]

I think we are stuck developing GW for the next year and likely the next 2 years while we develop the younger QBs. We need to bite the bullet and find ways to improve our QB development, which will take time and has been poor even before Schiano left. Remember that the only top QB we had in the last 23 years was likely Tom Savage, which Schiano screw up by changing the offense to a spread offense and getting the kid sack like over 50 times, leading to his transfer. At the end of the day the kid made it to the NFL.. as a successful backup but was good enough to make it unlike the majority of our previous QBs.

We don't have the luxury of having multiple top QBs like other programs.. sadly.

We just need to keep recruiting top RBs to help the QB, and keep improving our OL and WRs.. while playing solid D.

 

[ScarletKid2008]

Iowa’s offense is historically bad. And we made them look like the more competent group today. Their QB looked better. That was the difference. You can’t win games going for less than 50% completion rate on a super conservative passing offense. And on top of this you didn’t make the defense gaurd against QB runs. Totally handicapped what little offense we even had.

 

[Purple-Ed]

Jabu package.

Honestly, the 1st half we played well (passing and running) but the penalties killed us. The OL didn’t play that bad but the 3rd and short false starts are just like a TO in this game.

 

[Rokodesh]

it's not Gavin's fault the OC is a ****ing retard. This board is so tiresome. The same exact shit for every QB since the bowl game against UNC in 2014.

But wait, the next one is the answer!

 

[Rokodesh]

Both did nothing today.

 

[jtung230]

Both did nothing today.

We laid an egg and Iowa is good. Let’s shake it off and move in the PSU.

 

[Hardslider21]

Schiano still probably has PTSD from benching Savage years ago. Wimsatt makes the offense one dimensional.

He stinks, his ranking in HS was just wrong. His offer list wasn’t good, he can’t read or manipulate a defense. Doesn’t have the ability to go thru the route tree. Strictly a 1st option QB and he stares them down which leads defenders to the play.

 

[Pils86]

Elite d? They got gouged by the worst offense in fbs. They are a solid defense, which is good.

The D is very good and the strength of the team. They gave up three points in the half and 6 after three quarters. They just wore down mentally and physically due to our offensive ineptness.

Defensive will never win games if the offense can’t score. Defense being good means nothing in CFB as long as there is an offense that outscore it

Not his fault? Lol
His season numbers are historically bad not Rutgers history , I mean all collegiate football history .

Last in completion percentage, 3 from last in yards in the country. Please don’t bring up running either. After today when the day is over he will be 86-92 in rushing.

Just not a startling D1 qb ! Great young man hard worker but should not be starting

 

[rutobs]

Agree, move to PSU, but let's honestly get prepared for the Maryland game; win that game, and we can really say that this was a good season.

 

[RUTGERS95]

Gav sucks, couldn't hit water falling out of a boat. If you don't see he's not a passer then you need to get your eyes checked

😂 😂😂
The guy who threw 3 picks against a lousy USF today?

An elite defense allows Iowa 402 yards and 22 points?
I'm willing to give the whole team a pass today, particularly the defense, but one of the main guys here tweeted this:

 

[winfield102]

Iowa misses a FG and we got an INT at the goal line after went down the field in 90 seconds at the end of the 1st half. The score of 3-0 was deceiving.

Iowa had zero possession of less than 5 plays (except when they scored in 3 plays after the INT). For comparison, we had 7 possessions of 4 plays or less (only 3 possessions above 4 plays).

Big part of the problem:

didn't play elite today for sure and this guy is right, we've all seen enough of Gav
