Time To Move On from Bolin.....

[GSGS]

A team with two QB sharing time is a team with no QB.

... and a fan sharing his affection with two teams is a fan with no team. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I'll be at the game this weekend with my daughter. To provide moral support.

Doesn't anyone find it a little odd that a kid can show up for a couple of months and be elected captain by a group of kids who spent all of last year together?

We were hacked or the election was rigged.

Not if the player elected captain isn't a "kid" but a 21 year old college graduate who didn't act like a kid and immediately commanded respect. Don't know if anything I wrote after "graduate" is true but if it is that would resolve any oddities

I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but coaches have rigged elections for captains before to get the guy they want.

Bolin is completing 57% of his passes with 3 TDs and 5 Ints. Last year Gio completed 52% o his passes with 5 TDs and 5 Ints. I don't believe Gio got to pass against Howard or NM whereas Bolin had a good day against Morgan St. Bolin may be a little more accurate but Gio's ability to run overcomes it in my mind. I am OK starting Bolin vs OSU but if it goes poorly then at least try Gio. If we get to the point of losses then Bolin should no longer see the field and Gio and Lewis should be splitting time prepping for next year.

Bolin is bad. When we go 1-11, I don't want to hear anything.

I'm sure he's a great teammate. Seems like a nice guy in interviews. He showed up early put in work, we were excited to get a new QB. A lot of people thought he would be good. Bottom line is he's terrible. He would've been the third string QB at Louisville. He's going to throw 20 interceptions. Think about that for a second.

It's simple politics. Bolin is Ash's guy and will play till Lewis is ready. Just like the Zach Allen & Odin experiment last season. Gio should consider transfer for his 5th year. He won't start again unless it's due to injury.

This is the way I see it as well.

Gio is not a QB that Ash wants to play. Gio played last season out of necessity.

I think that Gio was terrible for RU last season. I don't understand the platitudes I read about his QB skills on this board. He is the consummate backup QB that is praised when he doesn't play.

Plus that fact he came in as the backup to last year's Heisman trophy winner Lamar Jackson. I'm sure he got some cool points from his new team mates for that in itself.

It is what it is: let the commencement of the Jonathan Lewis era begin in the 2nd half of OSU game.

GO RU

Bolin isn't playing better than Gio did. That's a fact. It's not even debatable.

With this weak OL and noshow WRs I would go with Gio to grind some yards on the ground and open up some more passing routes- since these recievers cannot get any separation. He looked good against the gophers last year.

 

[Bilderberg_News]

No it will be Lewis, but RU fans will want Chatman, because the backup QB is always the most popular player on the team.

BULL! The backup QB is only popular when the starter SUCK!

The Roster shows Gio is 22. And I can remember last year an article on nj.com mentioning Gio cutting his teammates hair. Things that make u go hmmmmmmm!?

I get that some of you think there's some conspiracy here where Ash really picked the team captains. Maybe he did. But the idea that a team would vote the third string QB (Gio) a captain is a little much.
