Realistically, Gavin is a second year sophomore. He has two more years of eligibility after the season. Don't judge his first year when he should have been playing high school teams. He's made tremendous progress this season, but today was not his best game. Play calling has also been subpar.
There aren't many teams in the conference that would be throwing 1 inch from the sideline on third and 10. With more experience, he will be able to make better decisions.
He's the starter, like it or not, he gets judged by how he plays because he's not a true freshman .
If he isn't ready for prime time he should sit and learn or be held responsible for his play without excuses.
Gavin has the talent, just needs his flaws minimized and Rutgers seldom seems to have a coach able to help make a talented QBs use the most of their talent
Wimsatt seems to be another supposed talented recruit that isn't developing enough to be considered a top QB.
Gavin's turning into a top QB and Rutgers being the type of program considered a winner
seem to be like the old Brooklyn Bums whose fans used to say after a disappointing season :"wait till next year"
Rutgers needs to have a QB ready to lead next year if Wimsatt doesn't prove he is ready by the end of this season.
Leaving HS early don't cut it, he's in his third year at RU and had two seasons to overcome that
edit, I still have hopes for him to show he can lead RU to victory and have Rutgers bowling this year.
It's just that Gavin is a junior now and having game experience as a freshman and sophomore, I won't give him a pass and say he needs more time to learn to play the college game.
He has had that time and it's time for him to step up and use all the talent he is supposed to have . On the job training should be over
