If Anyone but Gio is named the Starter for Next Week

[RURahh]

I will have my first doubts on the staffs ability (barring injury or off field problems of any sort)

Gio was not heavily recruited because he played behind a 4 star QB for 3 years. He ran a very similar offense to what Mehringer wants and most importantly, he STEPS INTO his throws and can actually stretch a defense and you have to respect his running ability. No other QB on our roster gives us that

Gio has had very limited reps which. Explains some of the perceived accuracy problems so watching him progress over the next month gives me reason to watch
He is VERY athletic and gives us so many more options than we have with CL or even TO at this point. He has 2 years of eligibility left after this so he absolutely gives us a great long term solution while we wait for Oden to bulk up and learn the offense and we only have to use Lewis of he is ready

Gio has a huge ceiling and if he is named the Starter, stick with him and give him a long leash and see if Drew can develop him while giving Oden 2 or 3 series a game since his redshirt is burnt and it will motivate him in the off season to know first hand where he needs to improve

Good to see Ash's comments that this is not a one game experiment - looks like Gio will be the starter going forward barring injury or significantly worse Turnover problems that CL

Unlike the last few years, I like that this staff is not stuck on proving themselves right at the expense of winning and if you saw the comments on Hicks, its pretty clear - unless you are an absolute star in an area of need - if you dont practice, you dont play

Glad that we are giving Gio a long leash

He fits exactly what Mehringer wants to do and in one drive has done more than any QB this year

His development gives me a reason to keep watching for the rest of the year and I certainly disagree with anyone who says Gio may not be the long term solution

Relax, Mrs. Rescignio.

Even another reason to love Gio
