Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 3959606, member: 5685"] Tommy is a good game manger that needs a running game (check) and a downfield threat (which we do not have) to be effective. He isn't going to make plays for you. The 4th Q we needed him to sling it around and the spot light was on him. The first three Qs he was decent as he wasn't the focal point. The second he became the focal point he failed miserably. Shrader will not be as good of a game manger as Tommy. He also won't be able to sling it around, but since Tommy turtles up when asked to do so that advantage is gone. If Shrader is more of a play maker, he 110% should start. If he isn't a play maker then he shouldn't have been in those 3 drives vs Rutgers. If we don't have a decent option besides Tommy, then he should start and get all but situational reps. That would scare the crap out of me though if our other options aren't good enough to try. [/QUOTE]
