Gebbia is transferring
- Thread starter xxUNRIVALEDxx
- Start date
Honestly, in the real world, I would call this standard.
Was Gebbia informed by MV or TW? I saw a story where AM was informed by MV he was starting. I'm curious to what the expectations were and what is customary in this type of decision.
I think if he spends a full "academic year" at a different school, he'd be eligible next fall. That's what Richie Incognito was attempting to do when he transferred to Oregon. A lot of west coast universities don't start until mid-September.
Any chance they talk him into coming back. Obviously he was bad and upset. More often than not we make quick/bad decisions when we are upset. Give him time to cool down, and hope he thinks things through.
Frost said it was a consensus not unanimous.
A consensus is a judgment arrived at by most of those concerned.
2612, it would be great if that happened, but I think that ship has sailed. It would have to happen pretty quickly at this point.
That made me laugh harder than it should have.
Doesn't matter.
I don't care if he got his feelings hurt or his Dad did.
What is, is done.

Well. If 3 out 5 said Martinez then your theory that is wasn’t even close would be silly.
If not close then why are there other offensive starters that do not like this decision?
I wonder if frost could have kept em both around by not picking a started and just saying the best that preforms on game day will be in the game? I haven't been following much this year but that gebbia looked pretty thin, like he might not take a good hit flying around in traffic.
What happened to the days of a willing b/up qb? I'm thinking Jerry Tagee, Van Brownson.
Tommie Frazier, Brook Berringer. We couldn't have won without guys that didn't need to be in the spotlight.

Just my opinion, but I like the fact that the staff was upfront and honest before the season started. This gives Gebbia the chance to do what’s best for him.
What say me? From what you are saying you are taking this personally. I don't get it. I read Frost thought who the starter would be at midweek. It sounds like you have resentment for Frost before this ever happened and you could easily find a different coach to root for.
For a lot of other people on here, why are you taking it so personally? NU doesn't owe TG a starting role, and TG doesn't owe NU anything, else, other than what he has given them. He was recruited by another coach with a different system. He has to go to where he thinks he can play and he can't wait to do it or he will lose another 1/4th of his eligibility. What's the gripe. He's done. He doesn't owe anything to one fan on here. He has to do what he has to do. Get realistic. And SF had an inclination as to the starter the middle of last week, verified it Friday and Saturday with the coaches, and TG was told on Saturday. No one on here is the head coach. SF is, and it's his future that is on the line. No one else on here has their future depending on this decision. It's all SF's and TG's decision (and their future) so let them make it.
Everyone here needs to get a grasp. It's a game played by kids, for goodness sake. Let them live their own lives and if someone doesn't like it, find something else or a different team/coach to follow. You might have a happier life.
WTF are you talking about? I was calling out a poster for the double standards he had towards TG and Frost.
true, but it would of been nice to see them both in real game situations, then make the call.
just to be sure the right decision is made.
plus to have a ace in the hole incase we need it.
Who cares? Honestly... who cares if a handful of people offense or defense think Gebbia who has been on the team longer and probably has more friends than AM should have won.. this isnt a popularity contest..anyone who is a leader on this team should tell these guys to shut up and buy in for the team.. or GTFO... with him.. my .02..anything else condones division and has no place on this team
I'm not sure Tommie is a good example here. There were rumblings that he was threatening to bail unless the coaches played/started him.
The best thing about the timing of this is that we have a game this weekend. If AM goes out and plays well, I am sure many of those players not on board will get on board quickly. If AM struggles, maybe that is not the case. Let's hope AM has a freaking huge day and puts all of this to bed. I certainly do not want any remaining players to second guess SF or the rest of the coaching staff.
This transfer isn't a smart decision. He isn't going to play this year no matter where he goes. The guy in front of him hasn't played in a game since his junior year in HS...is Tristan going to run back real fast if Amart throws 4 Ints and melts down? His qb coaches at NU are the best in the country...and he has one of the best physical development coaches in Zac Duvall. It does hurt NU but I am more perplexed by his rash decision...I would have no qualms if he waited four months and transferred in december. And he may be the starter by then. It is a thoughtless decision...hopefully somebody reminds of it.
How much am I currently paid.
Patience usually yields the best results. That's what I learned from your very scenario.
True but did they transfer one week before the first leaving one scholarship qb to play, when we could have went out and found additional QBs ?
He is choosing to leave. He wants out. If he didn't want to leave, he wouldn't leave.
I played college football. If my teammate left after fall camp began, let alone during game week, because he found out he was #2 instead of #1, I wouldn't be rooting him on. I'd be pissed. Whether you think it's right or wrong, this would have been unacceptable to me as a player, and that's the perspective I'm approaching it from, not as a "jilted fan".
well solich had to go talk sense into crouch at millard north, maybe the same could be done?
this won't be good if martinez turns out to be a johnny staton and gebbia a ganz.

So, if I'm reading through these threads correctly, there was an actual QB competition here with both guys having a shot up to sometime very recently
Evidence of this is that some players think Gebbia should have been / had a chance at the #1. Doubt that would be the case if this was a "dog and pony show".
This is exactly what Frost has been selling. Open competition at each position.
Personally, I think it's refreshing as hell. The last time we had actual competition at this spot was, what, Crouch / Newcombe?
One QB ended up beating out the other. That's how it works. Kids are going to respond differently to adversity like this.
Yep. It sucks to lose that talent and depth. But Frost is doing what he said he was doing. I have zero doubt both of these guys were given a fair shot to earn the starting role.
