It's obvious Gio is our best QB

[RutgersSam]

Much more savvy and better runner than Laviano

 

[RUtix4me]

Agree

 

[AntiG]

much more confident player overall

 

[mentulbloc]

come on...he's had a quarter. his first series was awful. not saying he's not our best option, but lets see things play out before we declare him our new starter.

 

[RutgersSam]

If you watch Gio's high school highlights, the kid has "it."

No one said he was Montana. But he's better than Laviano. Just needs snaps and experience

 

[RutgersSam]

TD!!! A pitch throw that no way Laviano would have the skills or awareness to make

 

[MozRU]

Nm

 

[RutgersSam]

I really "Like"

Wow. Yes. Gio has some hereditary chops.

 

[RU fan forever]

No question he's better then all the others we
Have, now is up to Ash, if he takes him out
Then iil be calling for he's job!!

 

[AntiG]

Gio deserves to be named the official starter until someone unseats him. Laviano needs to sit down and figure out how to fix his issues as a player.

 

[LadyRU09]

He was doing so well until that pick 6.

 

[MikeR0102]

It's not like we have a team that can win with a game manager, we need a player who can make something out of nothing. If that mean's we have to deal with growing pains, so be it.

 

[cRURah]

It's only the first int of his career

 

[RickB113]

It's amazing that laviano was playing. We should have been letting Gio work the kinks out the last few games. It is so obvious that he is a better QB then laviano. I have lost all faith the ash has a clue.

I lost all faith that Ash had a clue when he named Laviano the starter before the first game.

 

[RickB113]

And how Goodwin plus over hicks is beyond me.

 

[RUTrack94]

What kind of punt coverage was that?

 

[RUTrack94]

Illinois will not win another game this year ...

 

[Blitz8RU]

What kind of punt coverage was that?

I dunno. 2 guys took themselves out of the play by tackling each other. Pretty sad tbh.

 

[RUTrack94]

4 wins 16 losses in B1G play

Agreed. How many first team reps has Gio got in practice? Probably next to zilch. He's gotta get chemistry with these receivers but even without it he is showing way more than Lav and needs to be the qb going forward.

 

[RUTrack94]

Maybe we score and make it close ...

 

[scarletrider]

no doubt Gio is a better QB

 

[KnightFan]

It is absolutely insane to claim that Gio and Chris are even remotely comparable

Laviano needs to stay off of the field permanently

 

[FanuSanu52]

Can we demote Laviano to water boy to make sure he doesn't ever play QB again?

He'll probably miss his man when handing off the cup, but at least he won't be on the field.

 

[cohwx]

Gio looks much better than Laviano. He's going to make mistakes because of his lack of experience, but at this point there' really no good reason for Laviano to be playing significant minutes. Let Gio play and work on his game.

You get it

It's this amateur hour bullsh@t that exacerbates the problem

Why is it that we have had this musical qb situation? Why does GIo play weeks ago, score a TD, and is never to be seen again until today? It does nobody any good to play 4 qb..

I think we all know that Laviano and Allen aren't going to get it done, so can we just move the f@ck on already?

 

[JQRU91]

Gio needs to start the rest of the year. We've played seven games this season and have yet to top 200 yards passing in any of them. With Gio starting, we should be able to do that soon.

 

[cohwx]

It seriously makes me wonder what is going on in practice!

 

[LukeRU90]

What kind of punt coverage was that?

Our special teams have been most atrocious this year, over all everything else. Laviano does suck, but this is what poor HCCA was left with. I think Janarion overshadowed any shortcomings of Okruch; now that he's out, Okruch can't just take it easy and leave everything to JG. Special teams have been pathetic in both directions. In JG's absence, the only bright spot is Cintron.

 

[RU fan forever]

This is sad, I'm a ticket holder since 1982
Never felt worse, I couldn't go to the game today
Attending a wedding,I thought we had a chance today, I was wrong, I'll just get drunk!!!

 

[OC Knight]

It seriously makes me wonder what is going on in practice!

In practice Laviano is lighting it up. There fore he gives us the best chance to win ...

 

[tico brown]

I would give him a shot to start for now. They did better with him at QB, even with the mistakes. Hey, I could be wrong.

I would rather be positive and say "What do you have to lose?" instead of "How much worse can they get?"

 

[NickKnight 1]

No one said he was Montana. But he's better than Laviano. Just needs snaps and experience

My grandmother is better than Laviano.

 

[NickKnight 1]

You get it

and so do you.

 

[RURod]

Agreed

 

[newell138]

How many quarters has laviano NOT thrown a TD pass?
