Will Gio start on Senior Day?
- Thread starter soundcrib
- Start date
He deserves to. We have 0 to play for. Even Pike started the walkons (Dadika) and they got to play a bit.
Sit 8-18, 40 yards today. Maybe the kid needs to take a seat. What does he have to gain by playing next week??
Misread the crawl but not better. O yards in first half. He has nothing to gain playing next week. Gio can match those numbers easily.
Maybe Gio gets the first series at QB next week. Then Art finishes the rest of the game.
A couple of series will not make a difference. Give Gio the start and let him play a few series. The kid's been a good soldier and is deserving of a little recognition.
If he doesn't start Ash drops down a few more notches in my book.

A plus will be that we get to see his mom one last time. A very beautiful woman.
What has Sit done to deserve another start? Seriously. 0 yards in first half is good enough to start. Gio can at least run.
It's more than about just football. The kid has showed loyalty to a program that was in shambles during his time here. Let the kid play in front of the home "crowd" a little.
There are some cold hearted people on this board.

If Ash has even the tiniest of hearts he will start him. Otherwise fire up the Ash must go chant.

Maybe we should have him meet Cindy Lou Who. She does wonders to tiny hearts.
The kid shouldve taken a seat a long time ago
Ash won’t start him because he’s an ashhole who doesn’t deserve to coach a little league team. He’s the worst coach ever in all of college football history. I also truly believe he made some kind of deal with Art.. there’s no other explanation. Meanwhile.. Gio, team captain, leading receiver today and guy who lead us to 3 big 10 victories last season.. sits on the bench watch the worst QB in football play the full game. It’s pathetic.
I’m sorry. I don’t see the point in starting Gio at this point. Despite the lack of numbers today, I felt Sitkowski is progressing and I don’t see the point of interrupting that at this point. Give Gio a series or so, fine. But I wouldn’t excessively shift the QB playing time.
Have Gio play the entire game. Missing one game is not going to make much difference in Sitkowski's lack of development.
It’s too little too late, and I agree that there isn’t much of a point now.. Ash and McNulty blew the season by not starting Gio and maybe redshirting Art, but I have to strongly disagree that Art is progressing in any way shape or form. He just doesn’t have natural ability.. the stuff that cannot be taught or learned by taking more snaps. Sure, he can throw hard, but with no accuracy. Look at his interceptions. He doesn’t know how to scramble instinctively, he can’t run. What else is there? I’m sure that everyone would love to see a big 10 win, so ya, for that reason, start Gio, but other than that, it’s too late.
But then again it would be just like Ash that on the opening series Gio leads an 8 play,73 yard drive going 4 for 4 for 48 yards.........and then he pulls him.
There is no argument to play Gio extended minutes vs PSU
Art will be the guy next year (unless a grad transfer comes in).
Thus, he needs all the game experience and tape to watch that he can get.
IMO, it is like playing Hilliman vs Pacheco. Makes no sense at this point.

If the point is to try to win the game, Gio should start, like he should have all year. If it is to develop players for the future then Art and some Chatman. Gio's qb rating last year was 95 and he did not get to play against EMU and Morgan State, and would be one more year experienced. Art is at 78.2 this year, he has potential but is clearly, CLEARLY not ready this year.
Agree.
But as have seen Ash gives 2 shats about loyalty and traditions here at Rutgers.
If I was Art, the classy guy he is as we’ve seen in all his interviews, I would tell Ash that I wasn’t starting the game and he has to play Gio at least the first series. They are friends and he is a good team mate like that i feel like.
Yet he was loyal and sentimental enough to not begin his job at Rutgers and stay at Ohio St for a meaningless bowl game. I’m done with this guy.
Gio should start !! Not only does he deserve it but Maybe just Maybe it gives the team a jolt !!! Fire Ash on Friday and Let the fans coach next week !
Gio shouldve been the starter this season instead of an untested Freshman who lost his starting spot in HS. If Sit wouldve came in because of Gio's ineffectiveness, so be it. But for him to continue to play at his current level NO MATTER WHAT is assinine.
While on the subject, if J Lewis will never play QB for Rutgers, then why does he have a scholarship? Moving him to TE is a waste, esp if he didnt get a legit chance to prove himself at QB. I have a feeling that he may become a better QB if he leaves for elsewhere.
The same could be said for Pacheco but hes now starting to play in these later games. So that could keep him to stay next year.

He is not throwing as many interceptions and when he does it’s not a complete misread of the defense or total brain fart. His poise and accuracy is improved, unfortunately he doesn’t have receivers that get open and when he hits them in the hands they don’t help him out for the most part. When is the last time RU came down with a 50/50 ball?
When RU signed Gio as a recruit almost none of us thought he was starting QB material.
Now some want him to play the whole game at home on Senior Day against PSU?
Goes to show why RU fans don’t determine the two deep on the team.
