Absent logic, it's the only legit explanation. No sane person would keep trying this, and expecting it to work. Fumbled snaps, underground balls are routine events; passes to Phantom WRs. It's a mess.
Most difficult 5 game stretch in Rutgers football history
- Thread starter slyker
- Start date
Tells you a lot about how poorly Rettig must perform away from the fans eyes. And he didn't win over any converts today from his time on the field.
Let him have a real shot, THEN we can judge.
I've seen CL, not impressed.
Everything you said is true, BUT the team's issues seem to run a lot deeper than just that. It doesn't seem like time and more experience is going to fix what ails us.
there's a HUGE difference between losing 4.5 games and getting shellacked and looking like a High School Team in the process. A basic lack of fundamentals of kicking, tackling, being in position, blocking, taking a snap, and making simple plays. Not to mention the coaching decisions (or lack thereof) in support of the cause.
The funniest part of your post is that when you wrote this thinking you were so profound, the outlier in your argument (Indiana) had also just played a brutal 4 out 5 schedule (OSU, Mich St, Penn State and undefeated Iowa) and managed to keep their margin of defeat to an average of only 16 points!
I see we've moved from the Laviano is an excellent QB argument to the other guy must really suck argument...
nicely done.
And we all saw Rettig and again had to call a time out because he could not call a play off his wrist band. And I am less impressed.
A Strong arm does not make him a better choice. he has shown in the past two week why he is the second stringer. His slow read of the field makes him hold the ball longer and he do not have the movement skills in the pocket i.e. he gets sacked.
Excuse me but I have never made any comment ever, stating Laviano is excellent or even a good QB in any way, shape or form. I have never commented about his relative abilities . Have only ever stated that I am sticking with the coaches decision that he is the QB that will give us a better shot to win, and I have pointed out how poorly Rettig has fared in comparable environments. I have commented that he has done enough to get us wins... but never ever did I comment that he is a good QB. He is a young inexperienced QB, who is taking his lumps. Why would I ever expect him to be good at this point or comment to that effect. I have also pointed out stats that our offense has amassed against the Michigan defense and pointed out comparable stats accumulated by other teams against the same defense. I have never once made any judgement on Laviano's abilities based on the data I presented. I have left the interpretation up to the reader.
And likewise, when I have sen people posting stats that Laviano is the xth highest rated QB in the Big Ten... I have never seen anyone state that they thought Laviano was a good or excellent QB. They just post stats. It is the anti- Lavianoists that jump down the posters throat telling us all how much Laviano sucks. You people friggin crack me up.
