It seems both Robinson and Gardner struggle to make smart decisions week in and week out. It's quite frustrating. I don't know if the coaches can teach football intelligence.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:48 PM ^
It's like they just don't play smart football.
I'm not calling them dumb people. But they simply make too many dumb choices as the QB.
A lot of people say that's why Rich Rod's offense worked for Denard AND Devin. It simplified things.
November 12th, 2011 at 6:02 PM ^
But it didn't work as well for Denard from week 6 onward. (Gardner didn't play from then on, so we don't know how he'd have done.) Defenses caught onto his tendencies and his production dropped across the board, while his INTs soared.
I don't think there is some magical combination of playcalls that can make Denard a superstar. He simply is limited in too many areas, and defenses know it. He's got to improve as a player.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:43 PM ^
omg new QB?
November 12th, 2011 at 5:44 PM ^
One more TD puts it away. Can we do it?
November 12th, 2011 at 5:44 PM ^
We should take notes.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:46 PM ^
November 12th, 2011 at 5:45 PM ^
O'RLY?
November 12th, 2011 at 5:45 PM ^
I mean, I can't imagine putting in Gardner is going to make much of a difference. He hasn't proven he can manage the game either.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:48 PM ^
Makes bad reads, runs backwards, and struggles getting plays off. Don't like the switch it better just be to let Denard settle down for a minute.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:48 PM ^
Plus the weather conditions are still not ideal for passers.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:46 PM ^
He was with the offense before the commercial.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:47 PM ^
If forcier was on the roster would he start?
November 12th, 2011 at 5:48 PM ^
He has a better feel for passing than Denard.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:50 PM ^
you are dumb
November 12th, 2011 at 6:00 PM ^
That Rich Rod, a guy fighting for his job, rotated QBs @ purdue last year because Denard was so terrible.
<br>
<br>I think you posed a fair question.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:48 PM ^
Put Gardner in so DR will at least realize that its not acceptable to turn the ball over repeatedly without consequence. What does a QB have to do to get pulled around here anyway?
November 12th, 2011 at 5:48 PM ^
The O to lineup under center, I formation and let fitz pound it. Playaction will be there eventually
November 12th, 2011 at 5:49 PM ^
Coaches must read some of your comments. Be careful what you wish for.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:50 PM ^
Shitty spot
November 12th, 2011 at 5:50 PM ^
we look like Penn State, solid D and relatively clueless on offense. Is illinois D that good or is it just our offense that bad?
November 12th, 2011 at 5:50 PM ^
Where he had marked it with his foot.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:50 PM ^
for the I form w/ this current set of QB's and RB's is ludicrous.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:50 PM ^
M ball!!!
November 12th, 2011 at 5:50 PM ^
Our ball!
November 12th, 2011 at 5:51 PM ^
November 12th, 2011 at 5:51 PM ^
Any more breaks.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:51 PM ^
Great tackle stops a big gainer.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:51 PM ^
Damn jersey tackle again
November 12th, 2011 at 5:52 PM ^
Is making plays on special teams. Please take advantage of the turnover!!
November 12th, 2011 at 5:52 PM ^
Gardner throws to Tacopants.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:52 PM ^
Vincent smith in a qb enough said
November 12th, 2011 at 5:53 PM ^
Junior!
November 12th, 2011 at 5:53 PM ^
Nice throw there
November 12th, 2011 at 5:53 PM ^
That was much better. He over threw Manute Bol on that last throw.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:57 PM ^
Tacopants
November 12th, 2011 at 5:53 PM ^
PLEASE PUT THIS GAME AWAY!!!!
November 12th, 2011 at 5:54 PM ^
Lol we just brought in our 160lb goaline back
November 12th, 2011 at 5:55 PM ^
Fitz running the offense
November 12th, 2011 at 5:55 PM ^
Anyone else feel like we are watching a cripple fight?
November 12th, 2011 at 5:58 PM ^
I have felt that way a lot over the past four years.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:55 PM ^
He is human!!
November 12th, 2011 at 5:56 PM ^
Did he just call Denard shoeless?
November 12th, 2011 at 5:56 PM ^
........
November 12th, 2011 at 5:56 PM ^
Kick. Feel. Gull.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:57 PM ^
Why we hates scoring?
November 12th, 2011 at 5:57 PM ^
Only our kicker could pull that off.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:57 PM ^
Finally. Points.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:57 PM ^
Praise th' Lor'!
