shrader vs devito this year

[OrangeDW]

So now that Tommy has disproved all the posters here that stated he was not a good QB, the criticism of him has morphed to him just being a game manager. I remember when he replaced Dungey in a couple of games we were losing and helped us win by making big time plays.

Be honest - how many Illinois football games did you watch?

Tommy is the exact same player he was here. He didn’t disprove squat.

I don’t know why people can’t be happy we have Shrader without trying to downplay someone else. Devito’s on a different team and in a different system now. Their new OC said before the season he believes in small ball, control the ball and control the clock. Strong running game and short passing game to keep the chains moving. Devito is doing what the team wants. It seems to be pretty successful. He has a great running back, but so did we at one time. He has a great defense but so did we at one time. You play the cards your dealt. Shrader, injuries aside, has had a great season. Much improved as a passer. But for Illinois Devito has had a great year too. Not as good as Shrader’s but still great.

In PFF for the season out of the 64 P5 teams

Shrader is graded # 7 as an all around QB (passing and running). Great for us.

Devito is graded #15 as an all around QB. Still pretty damn good out of 64 P5 teams. And he’s #1 in the B10.

Strictly as a passer PFF has Shrader at #8 and Devito #13. Congrats to both.

So yes Shrader has had a better season, great for us, but I don’t think Illinois is complaining either.

Every single pff grade makes me think you've subscribed to a random number generator

Great #'s for both. 2 good QBs.

PFF is an excellent metric. They were both in a system that worked to their strengths.

Does anyone know how Illinois fans feel about DeVito? Curious what they say and how big a factor they feel he was in their success this season.

I bumped into one at the end of October. He saw me wearing a Syracuse shirt and thanked me for sending Devito to them.

I guess we'll find out in the Pinstripe Bowl.

their RB will demolish us

If you have to cite two relief appearances 4 years ago, doesn’t that tell you something.

 

[Newhouser]

If GS played for Illinois what would their record be? Do we get to 7 wins with TD?

Not to mention, he didn't spur a comeback against Florida St. He made some plays and helped maintain our lead that resulted in a W. The UNC was totally different, he was awesome and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

I think his career here can best be characterized by his relief performance against ND that same year. Sadly, we saw far more ND-like performances than we did his UNC-like heroics.

Devito would have NO chance at doing what we almost did at Clemson. That is the difference. Shrader makes things happen and Devito couldn't.

And except for a dropped interception, almost snatched defeat from victory against North Carolina.

The best thing about Devito leaving was getting his father off the board.

He was pretty harmless and disciplined compared to other family members over the years

I must have missed some other doozies then -- because some of the messages he sent to people were not good...

Perry Patterson's grandma will always be my fave.

None of it is ever good, but the comments over the years about Dungey, Dino and the oline were cringey.

I had a Dm going on with him. It wasnt good.

He was by far the worst I've seen. He actually took shot at other players to make his son look good. TD's mother must be a saint because she raised a very nice kid in spite of her husband's efforts.

He had a lot get deleted. He was the absolute worst parent we ever had here. For the most part I know which parents post here and I can’t think of anyone close.

You certainly had a way of bringing it out in them.

I feel like a lot of the more recent parents (past 10 years or so) have been pretty good (Alec’s dad / BCubs / etc.) TD’s dad was pretty terrible.

I remember Rutgers fans saying it when he signed with us - that we’d have to deal with his dad. I thought it was sour grapes…

Parent football focus graded him out as a 94

A hundred people talk about Tucker running out of bounds but when I say it about Damian Rhodes, his idiot dad wants to fight like a tough guy

He definitely wanted a piece of you. You gotta be careful how hard you come down on kids.
