When Gleeson was fired, we had no idea what Gavin really was due to the injury suffered against Temple. I said around that time that RU needed to figure it out quickly if he had a future at QB otherwise a position change a la Illinios' Isaiah Williams could be in the cards.
Based on the last 5 games, have we seen enough from Gavin that says he's on the way to be a competent P5 QB? Or does he hold more value moving to WR with his athletic ability?
Pros: Strong arm, athleticism
Cons: Footwork, mechanics, no touch on passes, doesn't slide up into pocket as a few examples
Unknowns: How much the injury held him back from running ball, what quality coaching will yield
While Nova and Teel made a frustrating amount of errors in their first year I never had a thought that they wouldn't make it as a QB. Can't say I have the same feeling with Gavin and this could be partly due to I felt he wasn't ready yet when this season started.
Obviously we need to know who the OC will be. However, I really would not feel like RU has lost much if they go after a decent portal QB and ask Gavin to change positions or inform him that he is a backup. It's critical that RU gets production from the QB in 2023.
Please no comments on Gavin transferring unless you believe that RU can't replace his production. Then explain what he's shown to be irreplaceable.
