Seven feet? You are being generous. I'll leave it at that as I really, really want to say more but I won't.
In fairness, I think the OP is assuming Gavin won’t stick around if we recruit a grad transfer to be the forerunner to start.
Pretty much sums it up.
That’s not accurate on throwing. I’ve seen many very, very athletic people who can’t throw a ball newly as well as Wimsatt, and he can’t even throw well.
Around the country teams over achieve all the time
He has the ability to run, but he’s not nearly a good enough runner to compensate for his poor pass game.
Jared Goff has the Lions looking like they might win an actual playoff game for the first time since the Bush Senior administration.
What was equally frustrating as the inaccurate throws was that GW finally breaks off a nice run for big yardage and would have likely taken it to the house if he didn’t cut left into a tackler when he had a blocker on his right. Although it seems our guys are always making the wrong cut because they lack vision and patience.
I will still be very surprised if there is a legitimate threat to GW's starting status coming via the portal. There are many needs and limited NIL dollars to fill them. GS can be very stubborn on certain matters and I can see him continuing to build around the QB position rather than addressing it.
EJ Warner at Temple can sling it and did so behind a bad OL. He's gonna get some NIL offers to leave. Could be an option.
We won’t bring in a pure pocket passer unless we move back to a system with a full back. Not out of the question but I doubt it.
We could do worse, however, he is a pure pocket passer, he needs to be protected. He got killed at Temple this year, was out for a few games with a concussion.
Yes Defense-minded HCs build around the QB position by recruiting better punters. It’s almost always losing football and the reason Day (hired over Schiano) Harbaugh and Franklin don’t ever sweat Rutgers week.
Those board moderators who allow this idiot to post personal attacks about players needs to stop. Gavin Wimsatt came here as a 17 year old to play for Greg Schiano and Rutgers football. May I remind some we didn’t have QB’s batting down our doors at the time. He has become the whipping boy of several here and it should really not be allowed. Like everything else which is frowned upon this too is bad. Maybe he ‘s not the golden child we expected but saying” Wimsatt should transfer” is totally uncalled for.
He shouldn't have to transfer, but from early on it was apparent that he wasn't going to be the answer at QB and should have been moved to a position where he had a chance to fully display his excellent athletic skills. This is on the coaches, not Wimsatt, it is their job to put a kid in the best position to succeed and sometimes that means making tough and unpopular decisions. If he still wanted to play QB then he could transfer to a lower tier FCS or Div 2 level program, he likely would not be picked up out of the portal by any FBS or even top 20 FCS program as a QB.
and???? Gav was touched less than any starter in p5 (definitely the BIG)
As the games approached, we won the games favored, lost the underdog games
Wrong. Gavin is a professional football player and needs to deal with negative comments. It's part of the job.
