Lewis doesn't show much imho
- Thread starter LevaosLectures
- Start date
He has no time to think let alone pass the ball. The 3-4 drops from or receicers don't help
Slow and lumbering.
With our Swiss cheese O line he will never work.
We need a water bug with fast twitch back there
It's our only hope

You know, a lot of us watched his state championship game on TV last year. He couldn’t make a throw. He could throw it 100mph, but he was so innaccurate. Defenses don’t respect his arm...and neither does our coaching staff.
He’s not ready. #FreeGio

From my purview Lewis gained positive 3yds when everyone and their mother on the OSU defensive coaching staff knew Kill was calling for a qb run. If that was another qb he loses at least 3 yds.
GO RU

Don't know what all the crowing was about in the preseason. He's Oden part 2. As bad as Flood was at recruiting QBs, Ash's selections have been a disaster. No one can get it done through the air: Allen, Oden, Bolin, now Lewis.

If he can't throw by now he never will. That is reality - you either can or you can't. It is not something you learn while in college
You're 100% correct. He has no mobility and not particularly an accurate passer. So what's left? Hype.
The stupid in this thread is as strong as it gets
We can not assess Lewis from his performance in this game. It was like throwing a bull dog into the lion's den.
Well why the F didn't they have him throw in game situations during the Morgan State game?!?
Maybe they thought they would lose the 65 point lead if he threw an INT or two.
I hate to say this but the most likely reason is he can't throw - you either can or you can't. It is not something you learn in college.
This was my concern a couple weeks ago - he's seems a bit slow for P5. The fact that we have nobody to block for him (or anyone else) doesn't help.
As I posted then - there's no great, savior QB on this roster. QB play will not win us any games.
I kinda miss Gary Nova.

He showed he's not nearly ready yet. Nothing wrong at all with that for a true freshman QB. But it seems the majority of the board assumed that the keys to the offense will be handed to Lewis next year and he'll shine. But what if as a true sophomore he's still not ready? If Gio goes the grad transfer route, what on Earth will the QB depth chart look like next year?
That was my thought as well. He may have some wheels once he gets going, but his acceleration is sloooow.
cut the kid a break, can't evaluate the kid after this game, he went up against one of the best d lines in the country, who are coached up by one of the best d line coach in the country, pulled together by a very solid and experienced dc, I'm happy he got the opportunity, it will be something to build on for his future, which is very bright, once we put a better product on the field
he is Braxton Miller with less throwing ability (n Braxton sucked), and less speed. Make him an H back.
This board is unbelievably ridiculous.
his mechanics throwing the ball are not good right now..long arm release,allmost baseball style.I thought putting him in game when 7-0 and RU at 30ish yard line wasnt a good spot for him.Too much pressure and expectation at that point of game..
True freshman..hard to tell at this point combined with WRs who couldnt start on Monmouth .

ok so how many did actually see him in high school.?
He was not good at read and react with off tackle runs. What he had was a great line with a lot of time to set up ( i say 4-5 seconds) So you have guys running wild downfield, Portareal on the flank. If the receiver is not totally wide open he is sprinting through open space downfield. He gains speed with every stride and you need to hit a locomotive. Thats where the rushing stats come from

He passes great in the video of practice. He gets the ball out of his hands quick and it's hard for defenders to see where he wants to throw the ball. It is hard to judge his ability based on both the Morgan State game and this OSU game. Remember, he does not get many reps in practice since he is not the starter.
On most of the plays I watched our center was already beaten by his man by the time he straightened up from making the snap.
Our line was so utterly dominated I don't see how people think they learned anything about QB play from this game.
This is a horrendous game to judge him by, you can't get a good barometer of how good or bad he is playing games against OSU let's be real.
This thread is so stupid, lewis is the real deal. He has been in college all of 1 month and played minutes on the field. He is young and inexperienced, playing behind an avg ol vs one of the nations top dl. I think he needed to get more time in occ games. Either way he will be fine. Even my fav Brian leonard took time before starting....... their kids
Ash's original idea (to play a style of offense where deception can overcome a talent disadvantage) wasn't wrong, he just botched the OC hire.
Now that we have Kill and reverted back to a conservative style we are destined to suck against the better B1G teams long term because we will NEVER recruit well enough to have 5-6 linemen on each side of the ball that can compete straight up against the likes of what OSU, PSU and Michigan get.
