I’ll sign for EJ Warner as RU QB in a heart beat.

Absolutely
Would be an immediate upgrade.

Really??? You don't think Brown is our best RB???

Thought it was referencing OL Brown. RB Brown would suck.

You're very illogical and way to emotional to think clearly. People want to succeed its just some are better judges of ability across a wider landscape. Greg sucks, there shouldn't be any debate with this. He's an awful coach past 3yrs. Recruiting is down, possible 3 big names are gonna hit portal out and new oc is gonna underwelm expectations. Next yr will 4 wins

The program is going backwards. 4 wins is unlikely. One for sure thanks to bringing Wagner back, and Northwestern, Temple Indiana and Tech are tossups. Doubtful we win 3 of those 4

No, sorry, 65k posts and are any of the stats quoted in them accurate? My god man, please stop. You don't have any clue what you are talking about, have you ever played organized football, been to a practice, played in a game? I mean, c'mon, grow up!!

Maybe I should explain further since you seem to be pretty naive about football. It is not a game in which, especially at the skilled positions, you suddenly turn it on in a game and do things you don't do in practice. If you are not hitting your receivers in practice, you are not all of sudden in games situations finding your accuracy. Same with receivers, if you are not running clean routes in practice, you don't all of sudden start running clean routes in game situations. If anything, as a player you are going to be more accurate in practice than on the field during games. Anyway, why do I bother, you're hopeless, the only thing you can do is attack other posters who don't agree with your nonsense. UGH!

Oh, and one more thing, let's test your football knowledge since this is a post basically about EJ Warner, therefore, if you are going to post in it you should probably know something about Mr. Warner. What is his big weakness, other than his height? Most know, except maybe for you, what Wimsatt's main issue appears to be, Warner's weakness is pretty obvious, and has been discussed multiple times even on this board, so you should know it. I even gave you a clue in this paragraph. How are the two different, is one more correctable than the other?

Not so much your post but it hits on something that cracks me up- for years, we have had players everyone wanted to start over the “practice warriors” a QB/RB can’t win the job in practice only because the starter is only a good practice player. But the “bad practice player” is somehow going to be a better game player lol

Man U better watch it you are gonna hurt people feelings 😀. I don’t think people root against GS, some are t willing to give him a pass when they don’t see results. Some people say that we are better off then 3 years ago, doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t show in the win column. Not having a QB after 3 years is on the coach, especially with the transfer portal. Some people talk about 2006, these players were 3-5 years old in 2006. If you don’t win there isn’t a thing as a rebuild because the players will leave and recruits won’t come here. Yeah o know this isn’t an ideal situation but when you get paid 4 mil, people don’t want to hear excuses. Either get the job done or move on. It Big time football, check your feelings at the door.

I personally hate the word rebuild, we're not rebuilding and talent on the field is evident of that. Our issues are coaching and preparation. That is on Greg, Greg is failing. I don't see any debate here

Lewis would be a huge loss. Brown not as much.

Lewis and Brown are the two biggest reasons for optimism at Rutgers.
It would be tragic to lose either one.

 

[Ray6232010]

Of course he is leaps and bounds ahead. Experience matters. He started and played in 12 full games. 443 passing attempts.

Gavin started 4 games. 145 passing attempts, that is 1/3 as many as EJ Warner.

If you compare Warner's first six games (excluding cupcake Lafayette):

Rutgers 19/32 215 yards 59.4% 1 TD/1 INT
UMass 11/22 173 yards 50% 2 TD/2 INT
Memphis 18/37 245 yards 48.6% 0 TD/3 INT
UCF 24/43 234 yards 44.8% 1 TD/0 INT
TLSA 23/48 196 yards, 47.9% 1 TD/1 INT
NAVY 24/48 245 yards, 50% 1 TD and 2 INTs-

TOTALS:
119/230 51.7%, 6 TD/9 INT

With Gavin's:
65/145, 44.8% 5 TD/7 INT

EJ Warner really turned the corner in his last 4 games with completion percentages in a range of 70-75% and 10 TDs and 2 INTs. In one of his last 4 games, he had a real stinker against Cincinnati, one of the toughest in the American, and earlier in the year, against Memphis. So how would EJ Warner fare against Minnesota, Michigan State, Penn State and Maryland? Not as well as against the competition he faced in the American.

The conclusion that could be drawn is that perhaps if Gavin did not get hurt and started in all 12 games, he MAY have performed better in his last 4 games, however, he was running for his life against Penn State and Maryland, because our OL past protection could not contain the pass rush in those games.

I don't really care about if the game was replayed what would happen. If EJ Warner and Gavin are both at their current schools next year (and that is a big IF), we shall see. But for Temple, their #1 receiver Barbon is a senior, and so is their #3 receiver. It also looks like they will lose 2 or 3 OL.

We need someone that can work with the quarterbacks and call plays. Until then the quarterbacks will never grow

Agreed.

agreed. I thought it was Ireland Brown and did not realize it was Samuel. Both are key to future for program.

It does happen sometimes .

I watched some of their game against the East Carolina Mike Houstons the other day and there is an example of a team that showed improvement during the course of the season. They lost 4 out of their last 5 but three of them were one score games.
Young Warner is leaps and bounds ahead of Gavin right now. They were actually fun to watch. Drayton has done a nice job there. If we played them today, I think we lose.

Warner is very very bad. Noodle arm.

 

[RUforlife]

Warner is very very bad. Noodle arm.

LOL!! 3,000+ yards, 60% comp rate, 18 TDS and a QB rating of 125.9 for a kid who just turned 19. He wasn't even supposed to play this year. Yes, he needs to put on about 15-20 pounds in his first college off-season, which I am sure their staff will work on. It will be very interesting to see how far he has progressed next year since his first start against us this year.
