Gerry deserves a shot

Change for changes sake isn't always the best answer.

shimmy

Sep 8, 12:31pm

It's change because of underperforming

Wife_Apologist

Sep 8, 12:32pm

The sad thing is that maybe he's not underperforming

fattycoug

Sep 8, 12:36pm

Gary couldn't beat Jake out in camp which is frightening. I think there is a realistic possibility that Gary can't/won't

shimmy

Sep 8, 12:49pm

I suspect Jake having more eligibility may have played a role in who won

Charles Darwin

Sep 8, 12:54pm

ARod quickly denied this as being a reason Jake won the job

AFcoug7

Sep 8, 2:06pm

...also, Jake knew the playbook better, but starting Bohanon fixes that quickly

Das_Countach

Then ARod should be fired tomorrow. Grooming JR is the worst waste of resources imagineable. If the season is over play

shimmy

Sep 8, 2:26pm

The season is over? Worst waste of resources? Hyperbole is fun

Charles Darwin

Sep 8, 2:30pm

0 hyperbole. Choosing Jake because he has eligibility would be the stupidest decision possible.

shimmy

Sep 8, 3:04pm

If you think two guys are even, do you take the guy with eligibility remaining

Charles Darwin

ARod should be fired tomorrow for Grooming …jr

With the injured RBs a more mobile Gerry might be better.

ParentingNotForSissy

Sep 8, 1:41pm

Correct. He had all of fall camp to show.

Love Cougs

Sep 8, 2:43pm

Uhhh did you watch the game

Kolobrdm

Sep 8, 1:58pm

It wouldn’t be just for change sake it would be because of performance

Charles Darwin

Sep 8, 12:33pm

It was one game, which they won. Every time a player doesn't meet your

SoCalCoug

He has only had an above average performance once as a starter

Charles Darwin

Sep 8, 1:32pm

...and it was against an FCS team, which he should have had stellar output vs

Das_Countach

Sep 8, 2:30pm

Isn’t one game look at his stats for six there is an obvious trend

Kolobrdm

Sep 8, 2:00pm

Six games of live work. Pretty clear trend

Cougulator

Sep 8, 4:14pm

True. But sometimes it is. And in this case, the change wouldn’t just be for

bluesloth

Sep 8, 12:33pm

What about change to improve?

Longseason

Sep 8, 12:34pm

If you believe in Gary then sure.

shimmy

Sep 8, 12:42pm

Well, it’s not change “for changes sake.” It’s change for improving the team’s

BlueDiver

Sep 8, 2:00pm

You don’t think Jake’s performance was horrendous Friday?

runningryan

Sep 8, 3:14pm

I like what you say…So don’t change the DEFENSE!

44C

Sep 8, 4:18pm

It will take a loss to see a QB change

Countcougula

Sep 8, 12:32pm

Doubt it. If BYU had loss at SMU do you

Coug98

Sep 8, 12:36pm

Yes, I think a loss definitely would have had them considering it

Countcougula

Sep 8, 12:39pm

If we go down 20 against Wyoming they'd probably change them out.

shimmy

Sep 8, 12:50pm

I kind of liked what SMU did. Play both QBs 2 series, go with the more

I like that stone was getting stonewalled... so he was benched.

Wife_Apologist

Sep 8, 12:34pm

Worked great for them.

We effectively played stone the entire game. As bad as their offense was it was

With Martin out, going to a more mobile QB seems like a good move. If they don’t have to respect the run, the

Gerry as RB?

Darth Paul

Sep 8, 12:35pm

Yes, that is crazy

fattycoug

Sep 8, 12:40pm

The problem is Wyoming wont likely tell us much either way

stansburycoug

Sep 8, 12:35pm

Wyoming appears to be very bad.

NYC and Japan

Sep 8, 8:02pm

If ARod is calling the plays I don't think it matters which QB starts. It's not

rebelCoug

Sep 8, 12:44pm

Beast approach would be to go up big early then have Gerry play entire 2nd half

SV72 Sale

Sep 8, 12:44pm

Even if that happens ARod probably won't let him pass the ball. He'll call all

Beer Stud

Sep 8, 1:34pm

I agree. Give him the second half if things are under control. Give him time

texaskevin

Sep 8, 12:58pm

Deserves? Based on what exactly?

UMWolverine

Sep 8, 1:11pm

He was good enough to recruit as a transfer. Our QB1 is having serious issues. He has better stats historically.

AltTabbins

Sep 8, 1:26pm

Despite all that Gerry had almost no offers

I'mBatman

Sep 8, 1:39pm

I mean Jake was in community college when he transferred to BYU. Not saying Gerry is going to take us to the CFP

AltTabbins

Sep 8, 1:45pm

People didn't want to gamble on if he will heal in time for the season

viper

Sep 8, 3:00pm

Because he’s already lost to BYU and Jake hasn’t. I mean if he deserves it

UMWolverine

Sep 8, 2:18pm

Gerry isn't playing against BYU. Jake has never played BYU.. I dont get your logic at all.

AltTabbins

Sep 8, 3:59pm

Look, Gerry is 1-6 in his last 7 games started/played. He has not played in a

UMWolverine

Sep 8, 4:19pm

He has won games as a starter against p4 speed

stansburycoug

Sep 8, 5:39pm

Do you have a TIC meter? Just attempting to be as ridiculous as so many on here

UMWolverine

Sep 8, 5:48pm

Jake is 0-5 against P4 speed. Its not terribly ridiculous

stansburycoug

Sep 8, 5:55pm

Isn’t SMU in the ACC? Oh yea, my bad, that fact doesn’t fit the narrative.

UMWolverine

Sep 8, 6:11pm

Ya my bad. I meant his QBR over 50

stansburycoug

Sep 8, 6:23pm

This was their second game in the ACC

chismoso

Sep 8, 7:31pm

Actually third….but, okay

UMWolverine

Sep 8, 7:48pm

Oh. Three games and a couple months since they were G5

chismoso

Sep 8, 7:54pm

Did I say they were a “big bad P4” program or did I merely say that they are in

UMWolverine

Sep 8, 8:02pm

You really sold it

chismoso

Sep 8, 8:29pm

Merely in response to the previous poster who said JR was 0-5 vs P4 competition.

UMWolverine

Sep 8, 8:33pm

We never recruited him. He recruited us.

2FarGone

Sep 8, 3:59pm

Yes, he should get the nod and this gives Jake a chance to mentally chill too

Honor Code

If you are a liability you are not an asset, it’s simple.

Wyoming is bad; JR will look great, tells us nothing we don’t already know

Yeah, I object!

AzCugrFan

Sep 8, 5:53pm

There is CLEARLY something Jake cannot handle in a real game

DazeofBlue

Sep 8, 6:07pm

What ever QB is played. Don't play a injured one.

ParentingNotForSissy

Sep 8, 6:34pm

If we start the conspiracy on CB that its because Gerry is black Tom Holmoe

Sircumference

Sep 8, 7:07pm

Yeah, but he will also eliminate all end zone seats in the stadium.

bluesloth

Sep 8, 7:12pm

If Jake continues to play like he did vs SMU, Gerry will get his chance.
