" it’s been a hot mess inside a dumpster fire inside a train wreck."

C'mon Kratch.. wth is that? That attempt at a description is actually worse than what we have seen on the field. Why.. that writing is a hot mess inside a dumpster fire inside a train wreck in the middle of a war zone... on a fragment of a planet destroyed by a death star... in a war-ravaged galaxy...

It's a Jake Tapper (CNN) quote...

So - is he saying that there's no talent? Is he saying that the QB's haven't separated themselves? Is he trying to be cutesy?

Or - with a quote like that - is he saying that this team resembles a Chris Ash product and not a Schiano one?

That quote isn’t referring to the current competition, but the past QB situation with Chris Ash.

Ultimately, he’s not saying anything about how this season is looking except that Vedral is the likely starter but anyone can guess that.

No he’s saying it’s been a mess since Nova left. Said Art improved a lot last year. Said Vedral seems like a fit for Gleeson but never won a starting job. Said Simon could be a wild card. Talked about the others likely changing positions but mentioned we have a lot of options and he knows as much as we do which is nothing.

In a little more than two weeks, we can discuss RUTGERS FOOTBALL here. Wow!
Maybe the one word thread will wither and die! Maybe people can forget their obsession with their personal politics for a while! Maybe I’ll find a million bucks in my basement! (shoot! I don’t have a basement....)

He let us off the hook, as he easily could have added a couple of phrases after “inside a train wreck.” We have been brutal for five years, so I have no problem with colorful depictions of our recent history. Our future is much brighter, and it’s gonna be that much sweeter when we start winning again. Our defense alone will be worth the price of admission.

It was accurate and creative. What would you call our QB play? On a more important note, I'm happy to see his take is that it will be Vedral, as I really want to see someone at QB who is a dual threat and can create when things break down. AS is not that guy.

I, quite literally, added phrases after "train wreck" in criticizing the writers choice (which was link to a political story, of all things) and later you decide to suggest he could have done that....

....okaaaaay.

If there is the possibility of finding a million bucks there I'd start working on that basement.

A spot on summary of Ash and The Haircut's talent evaluation from the article.

Ash and then-offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer did not offer Ocean Township’s Kenny Pickett....Pickett is in his third season as Pitt’s starter and has led the Panthers to two bowl games, an ACC Championship Game appearance, an upset of then-No. 2 Miami in 2017 and several weeks inside the Associated Press Top 25.

What that is, is Kratch falling victim to the influence of his bosses and peers telling him that's the way to write about Rutgers Football.


Shocker..who would have expected an original thought?

That is amazing considering Ash put out about 900 offers a year it seemed (I think the number was closer to the mid to upper 400s).
