What makes you so sure that Russo is coming? Do you think he wants to sit two years behind Laviano? Do you think he believes that he will get a "fair" chance to compete for the job before Laviano graduates? How did Flood's promise of an "fair" chance for Rettig work out for Rettig?

Would be any different if Rettig won the job?

You are correct that for the most part Laviano is playing well for a first time starter. The issue many are having is Rettig, if given an opportunity, could possibly be playing well also. The difference is the type of throws Cook was able to consistently complete despite tight coverage by RU's defensive backs which were the difference in the game. The announcer raved about Cook's great throws and catches against good coverage. Not only has Laviano not completed passes remotely of that caliber, he doesn't even attempt to complete any. In the 1st half against Norfolk, Rettig threw a perfectly placed pass to a tightly covered Patton which was very similar to the passes completed by Cook and other elite QB's. Many, including myself, believe if Rettig can bring that to the RU offense, combined with the talent level at receiver and running back, they could be very potent. Laviano is the safe choice and plays a safe style but doesn't it make sense to have tried the QB with the potential to lead a potent offense and then fall back to the safe QB if the first option struggles?

I've been going on about this on the RT.

In all fairness to Laviano, he's been successful with everything he's TRIED to do. The staff needs to PUSH him to make the deeper throwss instead of constantly choosing the underneath option. Some QB's have to be reigned in, he needs to be pushed.


It looks to me like there's enough arm there to make the throws, so force him to make the throws and see what happens.

What can't happen is to continue with the training wheel offense. We have four scoring drives in two B1G games. This offense needs to have more teeth if we're going to win more than a couple games going forward. You just can't win when you have a 10%-15% chance on third and long. If Cook had taken underneath options all night, they would have been shut out.

Worthless thread it seems like the yentas are out in full force.

To sum

1 CL is better than HR or vice versa based on HS stats, lol

2 HR should play because he is a 4 star player, lol - really 4 little stars coming out of hs makes the player

3 the backup qb should take equal reps, lol - I don't have a comment, this thought is just stupid

4 HR should get mop up duty, lol I don't know outside of the Norfolk St game - someone mentioned a coach playing 4 qbs - it's because they don't have one

5 really another thread on this

pretty much a worthless post Dave. you're not required to read or contribute(?) to every thread.

He's at least as good as Nova was last year. I don't know what gamety everyone else are watching.

The ones where he throws interceptions, fumbles the ball, ignores every receiver on the team not named Caroo, and spikes the ball to stop the clock on 4th down. I think those are the games many of us have in mind...

If that was your 4 star son and a college enticed him to come and get a fair
chance and the coach makes up his mind early in spring practice,
you wouldn't have a problem with that? The first week he announces Laviano
has a better understanding of the play book, that wouldm

So Dave if your 4 star son was encouraged to transfer to a college, and the coach
of that school says your son doesn't know the play book as well as the
kid that is in his 3rd year, you wouldn't be upset that in 1 week the coach
has already made up his mind. Your post is one of the worst I have ever
read on this board, and that is bad. Tell me you wouldn't want him to
looked at in any role.

A quarterback that throws interceptions? Revoke his scholarship.

Carroo is by far our best WR, you don't think he should get targeted more than the than other guys? I think he was 7 for 9 with 3 td's passing to Carroo against MSU.

not sure why you are quoting me above ... I'm defending people's right to discuss.

*sigh* "targeted more" and ignoring wide open receivers to try and throw to him in double coverage or taking a sack because he's not open even though other guys are open are two different things.

I guess a guy good enough to almost win has been good enough for Rutgers for far too many years.

 

[Fishky]

I said it after Laviano was named QB1 and i'll say it again. We will never see Rettig playing in a Scarlet Knights uniform ever again barring injury. As soon as you can accept this as a reality, life as a Rutgers fan will be a lot less stressful for you. Just let go. In my mind, Rettig already transferred.

I have to agree here but I think he has a better arm and can make those long throws. Laviano might be playing better but every pass seems to float and take forever to get to the receiver. But we will never know because I see him going to another school at the end of the year anyway.

God forbid we should have opinions, and your summary is flawed big time.

7 for 9, 3 td's. Where are all the throws into double coverage?

So if your the coach you are going to set your lineup and depth chart based on Rivals star ratings - OK. So I guess that means you are playing Huggins over PJ because Huggins was a 4* player on Rivals and PJ was a 2*. Ummm, ok. Or the #1 FB recruit we picked up in 2014 over Burton because Burton was a walk-on and the 2014 recruit was the #1 FB in the country according to Rivals. Or you wouldn't play Sanu because he didn't have enough stars according to Rivals.

OK

Fool, did you read the post I was responding to ?
Now that was classy.

Hey jerk off....,s,t,f,u

Best to keep your trap shut and people will think YOU are a fool...open your trap and your foolishness will be confirmed.

Who the hell are you to tell someone to go post on round table instead of here?
