If that was my son there was 0.0 chance he was suiting up at Rutgers this year. Could have gotten the same pay day, and perhaps increased his draft stock having a real QB at higher profile school and won more.

Schiano the GM failed again. Putting $2MM into a receiver, as good as he is, was silly considering all the needs the team has.

It’s a developmental program! If he lost 4 of the player he developed it would have blown up his whole charade. He had to retain at least one and pay through the nose to do so.

It's the idiotic developmental thing. As smart as Schiano purports himself to be, it's very obvious in this current iteration of college athletics the last thing you want to be is a developmental programs.

Said pretty much the same thing the first time he uttered it. In the new world we live in. You can’t afford to develop anything. All you’re doing is developing someone else’s roster.

Sad that we will never see Duff in scarlet again. Had some spectacular plays and arguably with a full year of more could have been in the RU wr goat discussion. Just not enough games

C’mon fellas. Epic grifters aren’t stupid. He absolutely knows developmental programs aren’t a thing anymore. It was just his excuse du jour, one of many. His excuses are arent truths. He knows. They are all over the place, like a small butterfly trying to fly into a 30 mph wind prompting him to call a TO.

Why did Schiano allow Duff to play against Michigan?

It was very apparent he was quite injured.

Did you see Daboll storming the tent to get Dart back in a game in his last year? When the job is on the line and best player gets sidelined you really want to get them back in lol. In normal circumstances GS probably doesn't risk Duff. Ankles are weird because they are a high stress/pivot point. You can run and do drills on a rehabbing ankle and it can feel good but as soon as you press and strain against another player you get injury back (I had that). It was def a premature move bringing Duff back. I read GS explaining his decision and it sounded lame.
