[blueoyster]

Well, looks like we are closer to knowing who is the starting QB! LOL

 

[RutgersNo1]

 

[RUTGERS95]

well I didn't want Vedral starting or even seeing the field but not like this.

 

[Joey Bacala]

Speculating of course but now we know why Greg was even MORE tight lipped than normal. I'm guessing Vedral just didn't get hurt yesterday. He was waiting to see if he could get close to 100% by tody.

 

[eddynyse]

Sounds like both QB will play. My money is on Simon being more ready for prime time and performing.

Sadly, this put us at a big disadvantage vs BC who has an experience QB.... should be a fun game where we learn a lot about the future starter at QB.

Never want to see anyone hurt.

I suppose the future is now and we see what we have at the qb position.

 

[Dpgru]

That was one well kept secret. So we may be seeing the beginning of the Wimsatt era. Go RU. If so, there will be growing pains but, if we are ever going to move forward the way we as fans would like then we need a QB who can get us there. Wimsatt is supposed to be that guy. Looks like the time to find out may have just happened.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Wimsatt’s experience late last year looks like it will be coming in handy!

About a week ago somebody posted they saw an Instagram photo of Noah using crutches.

 

[Mbash93]

Let’s go boys! It’s time

 

[RUScrew85]

Even the Wimsatt family don't know the starter. This team doesn't even leak info to their moms.

 

[patk89]

All 3 were preparing to start. I like Vedral but Wimsatt is the future. Simon will play some important downs against BC.

 

[bac2therac]

Wow this could change my prediction

 

[Mr Magoo]

Well, this should be interesting….one way or the other.

 

[jkernpop]

Not ideal sheesh. Pressure’s on Gleeson to dial up packages the young boys are comfortable in

 

[MTOleBlue]

I don’t think this is a “Saturday morning he got hurt” situation. I would imagine the offense has been planning for this and the younger QBs will have a good playbook available for use.

 

[NickRU714]

Silver lining: hopefully Simon and/or Wimsatt were receiving 1st team reps (and not an injured Vedral) all week.

 

[ScooterSports]

I just need em to get the ball into our receivers hands. Youngblood, Cruikshank, and Harris are all guys who can do a lot with the ball in their hands.

 

[RU Husky]

Not ideal sheesh. Pressure’s on Gleeson to dial up packages the young boys are comfortable in

Ha ha ha ha

 

[NickRU714]

A little confused.

Every other thread people were bemoaning that Vedral would likely start.

Now that he is out, we're doomed?

 

[ScarletKid2008]

Not a great situation. I liked our chances with Noah managing the game like the win at Cuse last season. Expected it to be a boring defensive slug.

if Gavin starts I’d expect the game to be much more exciting but a much higher chance for errors and disorganization.

I think Simon knows his best shot to become “the guy” is to play within himself and the offense and be the game manager. I’d expect his style to be far more conservative than Gavin’s out there. Just a guess.

 

[gman500]

Exciting…. But i fear the Wimterceptions

 

[RUTGERS95]

you guys crack me up with 'not a great situation' or the like. This is good for the team as we are not winning with Vedral and it's time to get the future more reps in games. This is good for the team and also forces the coaches to earn their money. No reason we can't shouldn't be able to move the ball etc.

Hope he's okay.

The coaches would play whoever gives them the best chance to win. I want to win today. So not having a veteran and captain available who has 20 starts under his belt is definitely not an ideal situation.

if Gavin or Evan was better then they would’ve just named them a starter by now

We know what Vedral is. He is remarkably limited. Time to move on and see if we have better options.

 

[slyker]

o/u for INT'S from our QB'S has just risen significantly

Don’t understand the ‘earn their money’ part. Instead, I think it gives them an excuse (inexperience, etc).

 

[Beancounter88]

Is this the Wally Pipp moment we’ve been waiting for?

+ on the road.

 

[ddsmugs]

And this is why you are always recruiting QB's. Praying for no more injuries.

 

[Mr_Twister]

Let’s hope this turns into a Wally Pipp/Lou Gehrig saga.

 

[RUScrew85]

Did the line move? Might be worth it to lay the 7.5 for you gamblers.

Well it appears that's what is going to happen for better or worse.

 

[robjknight]

Even if either were the starter, it would have been nice to have Noah available to calm things down. Also with all the Halfley connections, it is possible he knew about Noah injury.

 

[robjknight]

I also think this means more of Johnny L if that is even possible.

 

[ClassOf02]

If this were happening to our opponent, we as a collective fan base would be scared shitless. The young but very talented and dynamic future QB being thrown into the lion’s den early. We are a pessimistic group (and yes, we have good reason to be).

Just sit back and enjoy.

Jersey and RU are accustomed to adversity. We rise to the challenge. Every damned day.
