QB Stats
- Thread starter brodo_rivals
- Start date
Gio was great on his 2nd drive, leading to the TD. That fired up the defense and they got a 3 and out.
Then the killer pick six came on Gio's 3rd drive. But QBs with 25 career snaps tend to make mistakes. He fired up the team and easily has a better arm than Laviano or Allen. Ash really should've given him more reps in the earlier games.
If Laviano is announced the starter I free up 5 weekends.
Like I said, the ultimate play not to lose QB. The two deep throws were over thrown so no one can catch them. WR got behind the D and was open.
and your reasoning is? ...suggest something better in post#29
Gio gets it, some guys just play better in games- hopefully Ash and DM noticed that...
If not, then 2 wins it is
If not, then 2 wins it is
Yes he had a higher completion %, but he couldn't move the offense and sustain drives. Rescigno showed an ability to sustain drives with his feet and he forces a defense to respect that aspect of his game. Laviano simply doesn't scare anyone. You don't need to account for him in the run game. Rescigno is a bigger more physical athlete and he is not afraid to tuck it and run with authority. I liked the grit he showed on a 3rd and 9 The play broke down and he broke about 6 tackles to pick up the first and keep the drive alive. There is no doubt in my mind that Lav would not have converted that 3rd down.
I am 190% with you. I have been advocating Gio since summer camp. I am just playing devil's advocate for when they name CL the starter again.
I have found that in this election season and this football season, duality is an important quality to remain sane.
Yet nobody is pointing out that Laviano didnt have to play against Ill top defensive pass rusher who had to sit out the entire first half. Resigno put up similar stats, plus the TD drive, on a fraction of the first team practice reps against a full compliment of Illinois defenders. This is a no brainer. If Laviano EVER sees the field again, the staff will, and should be scrutinized under the harshest light
Gio's played a grand total of 3 quarters. Laviano has had eons to develop. On paper, they were comparable.
I'll take some learning mistakes any day wih Gio, for his higher ceiling. Should have started him since training camp.
But really was it a mistake? Took two great plays to make that into a killer pick 6. Defensive end gets the tip, then CB comes off his man to make the interception. So was it really a mistake by Gio or just two great plays by the defense on one play? I like him, he stood in the pocket took some shots to the chops in order to deliver the ball.
I would just like to point out that I posted here that Gio would be the guy back in February.
Laviano had a completion rate of 58.3% versus Gio's 55.6%. That's not much higher; that's splitting hairs.
show your work. I picked GIO before you did.:boxing:
I called for Gio in April 2015 and in August and December 2015:

I should be the Offensive Coordinator!!!!!!
You said it was much higher. Not at all. Both quarterbacks managed just one completion over 50%.
One thing I noticed that Gio did to make a completion was step up into the pocket. Laviano just doesn't do it. Once protection breaks down , laviano puts his head down and runs for the fences. He is incapable of making something out of nothing.
This
And this.
Considering his level of experience and practice reps, Gio was simply amazing today. And I hate the word amazing.
It was a poor read because the receiver was double covered. But the tip and catch was just unlucky.
To me it looked like he was going for #3 Harris. The CB was trailing the play. The tip caused the change in trajectory towards Patton who was running a button hook 5yds. to the left of Harris. CB was simply in the right place at the right time. Harris had his man beat who the ball was intended for.
Wow! I got banned from posting and accused of being Gio's mom last week for saying he is hands down our best QB!
Well, CL was our starter and the coaching staff told everyone that he is our best option. We are seeing once again that the coaching staff may know better but they don't always pick the best starter. We shall see if interceptions become a problem for Gio.
I will give this staff credit for making the change. Ash is not Flood and gets the team needs a spark. If he sticks with CL, he would have lost the team. CL actually had a decent game but just couldn't capitalize. Maybe the bench can help him develop. I'm excited for the rest of the season. Ash should also work in TO too.
Intercaption was unlucky. If u watch the replay he was going for Harris and it was tipped towards patton. If not tipped would have a been a 10 plus yard play.
