Breaking Dayton Decommits

[Blakejc]

You don't need 500 yards rushing from the QB, it'd be nice, but not necessary.

If you can get 180 rushing yards from your QB instead of -60 it's a net +20 on the per game season average. This year, for example, that change alone would take us from 90th in rushing at 137/game to 69th at 157/game. Total offense would go from 71st (385/game) to 56th (405/game). Those little things are a huuuuge difference.

If Dylan is gone too we need a portal QB. Gimme Leavitt from ASU. He almost came here a couple of seasons ago didn’t he?

kyler
4200 passing yards, 1000 rush yards

rg3
4200 passing yard 600 rush yards

not asking for the moon with 3000/500

I get what you are saying no doubt, college offenses produce easier with dual threat QBs. But those guys dont grow on trees.
Jalen Milroe started for Saban and Deboer and broke the 500 rush yards, never broke 3000 pass.
Everyone in the country wants that kinda guy.

Benning has been driving the point home this morning that this is all related to Rhule's comments on Glenn Thomas in his presser earlier this week.

I guess he's alluding to some friction between outside people and their perception of Thomas. Benning dances around a lot, so it's hard to make heads or tails.

As for Dayton, it's hard to say this has anything to do with Dylan, but bad timing sure does run in the family.

Just think of it in terms of sustaining drives/increased red zone efficiency. A halfway mobile QB can net you a couple extra third down conversions and maybe a TD in the RZ vs settling for 3. Makes a big difference when most games come down to 1 score.

The Raiola’s don’t like Thomas?

 

[Bulldog10]

First P4 school with an amphibious starting QB?

 

[Turn Down for What]

I thought they did.

 

[Bootleg11]

Could we flip Jett?

Maybe if Bama gets upset by Auburn and DeBoer leaves?

 

[Tonkasker]

The record will be set straight shortly

 

[BillButtlicker]

Dylan take his Husker stuff off his socials yet?

 

[Herbie]

I thought they did.

I think there is a lot of criticism of the pass by game in general and the Raiola are bitter about it

I don't think he's getting onto a P4 roster on schollie, but the ability is so cool:

Dylan is a slow blinker. I’m 100% convinced of it. He is also immobile (fact). Those two things might be okay when you have an elite OL who can protect for five full seconds every drop back. But when you don’t, I don’t care how good of a QB you are otherwise, you’re going to suck.

We don’t have an elite OL, and probably won’t next year either.

Ergo, there is no point to Dylan being here. IMO.

TJ is very decisive and gets the ball out. And he can run.

Leggo.

This is how I feel as well. We need a bigger data set on TJ but I don’t think Dylan is the long term fit.

No inside info, but here's my best guess as to what has/will happen:

1. Dayton had no future here. They had an honest conversation with him and the Raiola family.
2. Donnie has been told he is either a. Gone at the end of the year. or b. He's getting an assistant who is in charge of OTs, which he probably doesn't want so he will step down.
3. Rhule/Holgo have probabaly told Dylan they would love for him to stay, but given the turnover with his family associated with the program, they would understand if he left. If he does stay, he will have to compete for QB1.

Rhule and Holgo have gone out of their way to give shoutouts to Dylan in their PCs...which is kind of unusual for an injured player who is out the rest of the year. Kind of a "we love you, but..." message being sent through the media.

Here is another tell that I picked up on right away yesterday: Holgo said the UCLA game was the most-efficent the offense has been all year. That was a no-so-subtle statement on his vision for direction of the offense.

The Raiola’s don’t like Thomas?

I guess, he kept saying "some" weren't happy with maybe the speed of development.

Benning is so coy about everything, he always wants to have plausible deniability.

 

[cwessel76]

The Raiola’s don’t like Thomas?

I saw Thomas talking to Dayton and Dominic at the Maryland game and all seemed well so maybe it’s a recent development?

 

[BIGSTICK67]

Why is this happening

@BIG TONE SOPRANO should be able to explain it with sophistication, clarity, transparency and thoroughness.

 

[SlumpBuster]

Tim V just confirmed Rhule and Shorts were at his game last Friday and something changed between then and yesterday morning.
