The commonality is It’s still a lower level of play. Sacred Heart and New Hampshire are not USC and Washington.
You need to stop trolling our players, it is one thing to troll paid coaches, but these countless attacks on our receiving corps, kids putting their bodies on the line for your entertainment, is just plain wrong.
Maybe you should practice what you preach. You have no problem criticizing Wimsatt, saying he isn’t playing the quarterback position for his passing.
I would hope that KC has figured this out and adjusts the offense accordingly.Ohio St is an interesting case.
When Ohio was dominant the past years, they would always have a speedster going long
That would really stretch the field
The fast guys could often get underneath any over-thrown balls.
Over-thrown balls are safer than under-thrown.
A thing about GW is that he tips taller and his arms are realllly long
Long armed QBs are known to have accuracy issues.
With arms like catapults and a wide base, he's probably better at longer passes than the dinks.
His HS highlights show mostly long throws.
GW set the record for most yards in a season by an RU QB.
If he gets good downfield WRs he can probably hit them better AND when the field is stretched he can scoot.
Gavin is a turf monster the way Underwood was - just eats big chunks of turf.
A great, fast-twitch, 100m runner wont be good at a 1000m and vice versa.
GW isn't a cramped-up thrower
Get GW a fast, downfield WR with hands and things might be interesting.
Right now RU passing is like Eli when he couldn't throw long and was stuck tossing slants to Beckham.
Speaking of Eli - he was awful in first seasons - 48.2 accuracy in 2004 and 52.8 in 2005.
He was often horrible with shorts passes and screens were never things of beauty,

"To Griffin, the accuracy issues are born out of Wentz's physical profile as a long-armed, 6'5 quarterback.
"My coach used to call him a 'space-thrower,'" Griffin said. "It means he's a wide-base guy, so he needs a lot of space to make throws. He's a long-limbed guy, so if [a defense] gets a lot of push up the middle, it's gonna make him sail the ball because he's not gonna get all his momentum through the throws."

If we could just get Spiderman as a WR it would make Al’s vision of Wimsatt as a QB come true.
The reason this statistical analysis is so incredibly pointless, is that quarterbacks and receivers work together. If a receiver gets 1000 yards receiving, that means a quarterback got 1000 yards passing. There is nothing in the statistics alone that can let you look at that thousand yards and say that was attributable to the talent of the quarterback, or that was attributable to the talent of the wide receiver.We cannot fix our passing attack by solely focusing on the quarterbacks as the WR Corp and Tight End Corps are very weak in terms of talent. Receivers lack ball skills, the ability to make contested catches, speed, and tenacity. You look at someone like Miami’s Xavier Restrepo and he catches pretty much everything thrown to him, even when the throws are much less than perfect. Which is why he ended up with 99 yards receiving in the Pinstripe Bowl. We are missing similar talent in our WR Corp, and it shows in our receiving results.
Some are acting like changing the quarterback makes this a 2.5K to 3K passing attack. Hard to see that happening unless some of our receiving unknowns step up, and someone becomes a 1K yard receiver, which I frankly don’t see right now.
Let’s look at our receiving corps of the past, and what we need today, to move our passing attack forward.
In 2008, we had our best passing attack ever, and these were the final results.
As you can see, Kenny Britt absolutely killed it, putting up 1,371 receiving yards, and ultimately was drafted in the first round by the Tennessee Titans. He had a 93 yard TD play vs South Florida. And he had nearly triple our 2023 #1 receivers production. And was almost as productive as our Top 4 receivers from this year! This is the caliber of receiver we are missing.
Tim Brown was our very strong #2 receiver from the slot, and brought legit 4.3 - 4.4 speed to the table, and big play ability, with the playmaking skills to score from anywhere on the field. His longest play was 74 yards. He was better than any receiver that played this year.
Even our #3 receiver that year, Tiquan Underwood, got drafted, and was also better than any receiver that played this year. He had close to 500 yards receiving, more than our #1 Receiver this year!
Plus we had kids like TE Kevin Brock, who chipped in with a respectable 300 yards receiving and had a good stint in the NFL, catching on as a UDFA.
When you compare with what we have these days, you can appreciate the paucity of talent. Kevin Brock, our #4 receiver in 2008, was almost as productive as our #3 receiver in 2023.
When I look at our receiving results for 2023, what strikes me is how few the receiving yards and touchdowns we scored were. There were 10 receiving touchdowns total for the year, with the touchdown leader only having 3.
These days Ohio State is our baseline for what we need our passing attack to be to compete with the Big Tens best.
We don’t have a Marvin Harrison on the roster yet, but incoming WR/Flex TE Korey Duff might one day grow into the role. He will probably spend the next year acclimating to Big Ten Football. If he can match Ian Strongs 230 yard production, I would sign up for that right now.
For now, it looks like incoming WR Dymere Miller, who is a Monmouth transfer, will likely be WR1. He had 1,295 yards receiving last year for Monmouth, playing the likes of Elon and Sacred Heart. But as we’ve seen with Jacque Jackson, not all that lower division productivity is likely to transfer.
Nevertheless, If he can be at least half as productive, with 650 receiving yards, it would be great. I would sign up for that right now. But Reaching the stretch goal of 1K receiving yards would be tremendous for us.
If Christian Dremel as the projected #2 receiver this year, can reach 600 yards receiving, a significant bump from his 463 receiving yards this year.
We need Ian Strong to roughly double his production, and become the #3 receiver. His goal is 400 yards.
The rest like Famah Toure, Dylan Braithwaite, Chris Long, Ofurie, Fuse, Ben Black, and others should be able to contribute something, but not sure what that is, yet. The passing yardage goal for 2024 should be 2.2K yards, up 20% from this year. Stretch goal Would be 2,500 passing yards.
The passing game is a team effort, no doubt.
I’m saying your stats don’t say what you think they do about the WRs in particular.

GW would be a competent QB if we had a Fieldhouse. Ain’t that right Al ?
Not true. Brantley only played 4 games in 2018:
His Sacred Heart bio states he played in 5 games before an injury caused him to miss the last 4 games. He likely didn’t register any stats in the fifth game which is probably where he got hurt so it’s not shown by ESPN.Not true. Brantley only played 4 games in 2018:

Never once, have I intentionally posted Winsatt. Though i could have made a mistake, I think you have me confused with someone else. Someone else was posting Winsatt it the last few days.
C'mon dude, you are better than that, if you are going to create these crazy threads you gotta own up to it, right?
of course, everyone has high hopes, but most of these kids haven't done anything yet.
Oh my god. RutgersAl is telling people to keep expectations in check. Now I’ve seen everything.
Seriously??
it took Kenny Britt till the Louisville game before he meaningfully impacted, which was in November. I expect the same for Duff and Ben Black. Hard for Freshman to impact, though we are hoping for Duff and Black to be exceptions.
