I want to see Cole Kramer

This thread about to age like milk left in a car in august.

Nobody ever said they wanted Cole Kramer to go deep on first down

Gophers did convert 4th and 1, which was the original ask

This kid was never Power 5 level to begin with. Waste of a QB scholly if we're being honest.

Not as the starting QB, but as a package QB similar to how he was used the last couple years. Short yardage situations, primarily.

Under Fleck the Gophers have had great success with both Kramer and Seth Green in short yardage conversions. Best in the nation once or twice, I believe.

The ballcarrier was very predictable the last couple games in these situations.

HAPPY NOW ???????????????????

And nobody forced Kramer to throw a deep ball straight to a defender like that.

Cole should be playing more on the field - he knows the system and was very sharp in the Spring game. I've never understood why PJ doesn't give his reserve QBs some game experience when we are obviously going to win.

OMG. The Spring Game

Your best post on the topic Kiddo!

I dont wanna see cole, should have brought in a transfer in spring

 

[gopherbadgerman]

In his college career, he's averaged 4.6 yards/carry (42 carries, 192 yards, 2TDs). Would that be possible if he has failed to gain a needed 2 yards 95% of the time? I guess what I'm saying is: I'm wondering if your memory is accurate.

That being said, they have gotten away from the wildcat, for whatever reason.

They have you are right

That was an embarrassing throw. Totally changed the game

One of the most boneheaded play calls, just terrible.

Run it every down and you win. Sean couldn’t touch the ball twice? Lost to an inferior team.

And execution. Everyone blames the call. The players have to be better

 

[Some guy]

I’m okay never seeing him again.
aK might not be the answer but Kramer definitely isn’t

 

[MplsGopher]

By no means am I saying I want to see him more this season ... but he got hit as he was throwing that ball? Can still be a poor decision, just saying.

Huh?

 

[RememberMurray]

One bad throw does not mean a guy can't throw. Kaliakmanis had a few bad throws too... maybe more than a few.

The passing game is more or less inept right now.

Play calling by coaches needs improvement. Execution of the plays called needs to improve.

 

[MplsGopher]

Kramer did actually come in and do a fine job of managing the game when AK had to come out with calves cramping after that scamper first down.

You can see the end (really of whatever mojo we were going to have left to work with in this game) by going to 18:57 in the below video


There was a late defender and he did take a hit, but after he threw it, not during. Not sure if he felt the guy coming and rushed it?


But Fleck was right: if he had actually thrown the ball to the post, as he alleged had been the play call, it could well have been a TD. Then who knows what happens. Instead throws it right to the defender.

We never recovered after that.

Is he warming up for the second half?
