Rudock Hate

Submitted by KRK on

I'm and old MGoBlogger.  I'm still an advocate for Haloscan.  I loved the WLA and posted a few things there.  I think RR was a great hire that just didn't pan out.  When I graduated from college this blog switched to Drupal and it was harder to post, the community changed and I found myself with a job that kept me too busy to post.  This blog is great, the community is too.  There's posters that aren't amazing and have horrible opinions but it's so much better than when I was here and we just handle-jacked each other all day.  It's been a rough 8 year for those of us who are still around and I remember watching UM football as a person old enough to think "this isn't what I watched as a kid".  I'm 30 years old now.  And I watch Rudock and think "this is so nice....he doesn't lose every game".  I read Bacon's book and everyone of Devin Gardner's stat lines included two picks.  I loved Devin and think he was such a great player who just was in the right place at the wrong time.  But Rudock is so much less talented and so much more solid than he is.  

Please stop saying "if he could throw a deep ball we'd be a top 10 team".

Please stop saying "if we had a real QB we could be Ohio State"

Please stop forgetting that most people thought 8-4 was a good season this year.

This team has performed exactly as expected.  Rudock may have more picks than expected but those are mainly from the first game and that was just a better team.  He and this team will be good, not great.  I'm excited too but let's not act like this team are defending national champs returning 22 starters.  They are basically what everyone expected.  2-1 with a winnable game against a good BYU team.  They've improved and have a chance to be competitve against everyone they play.  

Hate Rudock if you want but don't act like it's been better around here the past 7 years.

I believe Rudock's issues are in his head, and I hope he sees this post.

In the first game, missing Jehu Chesson on that wide open post was inexcusable. The only way to screw that play up was to be too jacked and throw the ball too far. An average high school QB would have relaxed and tossed the ball because it was so wide open. That was a brain fart.

I propose Rudock is a variation of Devin Gardner. Both show(ed) a tendency to choke.

Or blow the two foot putt if you like that better than, 'choke'.

Stop choking Jake.

Yes, the spotlight is intense and the stage fright real.

Harbaugh and co. must find a way to get his mind in the place where he is at practice mentally during games.

I think the moment is overwhelming Jake and he needs to calm the frick down and he'll be fine.

and if that wasn't bad enough his delivery takes the same amount of time it takes to watch Miggy led out a double only to release a ball w/ no zip.  If you try other youngters you'll know what you have in them. We already know what we got in Rudock and can always go back.

Repeating what many before posted, but crticism of an athlete's performance in a game is not necessarily hatred of that person.

I like Rudock.  I admire him for his pre-med degree while playing top notch football, but he must get better for us to win 8 or 9 games.
