Peyton Manning wasn’t blessed with elite athletic skills. All I am saying is saying Gaston can’t run it’s because we really haven’t seen him run is disingenuous. Moore doesn’t have to be an elite runner to be effective. And also, what does his start ranking from 4 years again have to do with anything?
We could argue that 3 stars might be 4 stars might be 5 stars, but zero stars is what it is. It's unlikely that he's progressed to a true SEC level starter from there.
Obviously, Carson Beck is no Stetson Bennett. I think all of us felt pretty good about Nico vs Beck if it came down to a positional game. And I STILL think Beck is going to throw some balls that are not just 50-50 but 70-30 our way. He's not a great decision maker.
I never said he wasn’t a significant drop off from Nico. Jesus dude can you not read? My original point was how does anyone know Gaston can’t run? You don’t know. Neither do I nor anyone else on this board. That’s the point.
By that logic, I don't even know Nico can run except from what we've seen in games, nor Merk, nor anyone. What we've seen of Gaston running isn't impressive. But sure, if you want to win that "no one here knows," you can always win that. That's hardly worth mentioning. What we've seen or heard from those who see practice indicates Gaston Moore's speed isn't anything to remark about.
In a game of this magnitude yes you do it because taking shots is your best way. Especially if Nicos injury is what we think it is he should absolutely be able to return for UTEP and if not for Vanderbilt. If it was a second tier team I agree you keep your QB2 in a bubble but one big play could decide this game and if that means putting more qb plays in harms way so be it.
Beck has been a turnover machine of late, let's hope that trend continues. In the small sample size we've seen of Moore, he looks like he can run the offense, so hopefully no delay of game, waste a TO, collide with the RB in handoff moments. And he throws a deep ball our WR's can run under. Lean on the running game and stay with pass plays he can make. In that 2nd half on Saturday, maybe it was just good play by the OL or stone cold luck but he appeared to have good pocket presence or as we say on VN pocket presents, no panic, no sacks. I'll be happy if he makes the plays that are there and every possession we have ends in a kick.
Thus far he has not shown a penchant for it in his limited snaps the past 4 years or his high school career maybe he is a secret scrambler extraordinare..but no ones seen it on tape yet. So youre right I dont know for a fact. I can however say there is no evidence out there to refute my assertion. None zero zilch.
Indeed, I would think so as well. My son got a concussion when he and his brother were jumping off their top bunk onto a bean bag chair. The 6 year old missed the bean bag and hit the floor. He was concussed - knocked out cold for about 10 seconds vomiting, couldn’t stay awake, etc- pediatrician said to go to ER.
I don’t know what colony of Dunning Kruger victims you escaped from, but no one was requesting your top secret gameplan. The statement was sarcasm, specifically aimed at pointing out that Gaston is not a D1 athlete, and doesn’t require the kind of attention that a gifted runner might. They’ll prepare for Nico and then high-five each other if he doesn’t play. No team spies Nico because he isn’t a running quarterback. If they spy Gaston less than Nico, they will be doing so at a frequency less than zero.
Oh no. I got your sarcasm. It was just dumb and supporting a bad take. I don’t know who pissed in your cheerios this morning, but clearly you’ve confused having some extra information with actually knowing something. Just stick to bringing the info because your opinions are ill informed and your personality is grating.
lol. Look, I don’t know why you decided to be the internet tough guy this morning, but you’re being an ass. It feels like you do this every so often.
