Gavin Wimsatt

So you are saying that one TD is better then two interceptions??? Talk about knowing nothing about football!
Progress is not always a straight line, but it is obvious he is making progress and the team is winning. Watch him on our drive down the field on the series after the TD on the muffed MSU punt attempt. His ability to run and to disguise the handoff to Kyle helps Kyle and he made some important passes to move the sticks. This year is clearly more enjoyable than the last 8 years and Gavin is an important part of that. I will enjoy the rest of the year and a bowl game trip and look forward to Gavin being near the top of QBs in the BIG next year.
You keep just repeating the same stat that has been debunked numerous times. How did I ignore tge 2 INT’s the figured into my response. You just have a bad habit of not caring about anything but what you think. The 2 INT were not both on him. The 3 drops were not on him.
Forget the throw aways- they could be argued. But 3 clear drops and a 4 th that became an int actually makes him on target for 17-24 1 INT 1 TD and add in another 40 yds. Plus the 2 point play.
The first pick was clearly on Strong. Went right through his hands. Was a good pass and would have been a nice long first down. Second pick, he just overthrew it. He also made some very impressive throws.
It was also absolutely pouring the entire game. Turnovers happen in these types.of games.
The first pick wasn’t Gavin’s fault. Ball was well placed. Strong just missed it. The second pick was affirmation of why we only throw up the middle on designed plays. Gavin’s just not ready to make those reads yet. It’s great that Washington nailed down the TD, but not seeing a wide open target on a much easier throw points to the same issue. He’s not there yet, but so many other aspects of his game are vastly improved. Gavin protects the ball, avoids sacks, knows when to throw the ball away and can be relied on to do so without intentional grounding. He led a very nice drive in the second half when it mattered most and converted an important 2 point conversion. That was a big deal.
If people don't see a big improvement in GW this year they just don't want to see the truth. GW stands tall in the pocket and looks like a B1G 10 QB this year and I anticipate that he's only going to get better.
It's just so sad that with the improvement that this team is showing this year and being so very close to a bowl people still want to dwell on their perceived negative beliefs. They can't just enjoy what is happening. That's sad.

Considering that last year was probably a D or D-, I'll take that level of improvement with still 2.5 years of eligibility left.
I have said all along he has improved from last year but anyone saying he was good last Saturday is a complete idiot!
Wasn't his best game but would you agree that he was as good as he needed to be? The two plays that he had to execute (the Washington TD and the 2 pointer to Dremel) he did.
If I remember correctly earlier in the season they tried the same 2 point play and it was a disaster. The blocking wasn't there. Go to 2:58 on this video.

The 1st INT was Kirks fault imo. Not sure what he was thinking. It needed to be perfectly thrown.
The 2nd INT was on GW. I know there is some debate on that one.
I think there was only 1 drop that was going to result in more than a 1 yard gain (Strong on the right side).
He missed a number of easy throws but also made some very impressive throws.
It left me thinking that Simon would have hit the easy ones but not connect on some of GW's impressive completions.

I think you have to agree throwing too high is at least a current problem
based on our first half against Indiana
I sure hope he can settle down
We should be recruiting the tallest WRs out there. Brandon Coleman would absolutely thrive with Gavin slinging the rock.
Why inside the 10 with very little time left do we not throw a jump ball to strong? He has shown he can do it and none of the other guys present that possibility head scratching.
he had th corner on the Dremel throw but the problem is as defined, jump ball- we played it safe enough to score
What's wrong with you sometimes? Don't recall anyone (except for al?) who ever said such a thing.
Why do you bother? He's just one argumentative, ignorant poster.Best QB we've had since Teel.
Not really. Watch more closely next time, whatever "virtually every single pass" even means.
It means there were a ton of open passes that did not go into receivers hands for a reception. Really not to hard to figure out big guy
Guess 39 yds is pretty dam good midway thru 3rd. But running well. Every play now will be to run down IU defense
man if I was Wimsatt I would be doing everything possible to improve that accuracy. is it the footwork or the throwing mechanics.. i would hire a specialist .. whatever it takes
