Z.I.P. Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Cause if Zeke sees how Akron fans are treating their rookie quarterback, he might wonder if he's going to get the same treatment as soon as he throws some errant passes, or misses a layup. I'd be worried too, by the lack of loyalty to our student-athletes, and to our Akron athletic program. Zeke's a couple years younger than Matt, so I hope he's developed a hard shell at a young age!

RootforRoo44 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 We shouldn't be taking it out on Rodgers, he can't help that he sucks. The fact is, he shouldn't be in the game. He has the passing arm of a pee wee football QB. In fact I know i'm better myself in terms of accuracy and throwing the ball. Maybe some changes need to be made in the coaching staff, i'm not sure, what i am sure about is that Matt Rodgers is not a D1 QB, he just isn't.Now regarding Zeke, i think he will be just fine. He has the talent and size to impact games right away, if he doesn't it's understandable since he is new to D1 basketball. When he's in his 3rd year in the program and still failing, then yes he might get blasted a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you tackle, don't look up, just try to grab for one of the legs when it comes down."Seriously though, if someone thinks Rogers sucks, let him voice his opinion. If his opinion is alone among a wilderness of reason, then I don't see how that reflects badly on the fandom. I do find the attempt to use zeke to bring shame or trepidation on people amusing. Personally, I'll reserve my comments about any quarterback who plays for us when the playcalling spreads the ball around instead of what I have seen in the first 4 games that allows defenses to focus on the box because the ball is almost always up there and even when it's not a draw, a keeper, a dump or a screen, it almost never exposes them by going over their heads.CMU used draws and keepers very well against our defense as we had to respect the zones outside the box.

ctmjbowes@sbcglobal.net Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I have no interest in forums that are nothing more than a shamockery of boosterism. Why not just generate a web page with a flush-animation pom-pom that people can log into and stare at? We come here to discuss and argue about Zips sports. Most of us are also paying, contributing boosters of Zips athletic programs. I for one am tired of this football team serving as little more than a stain, an embarassment to the university and city. I want better. We have better facilities, thank goodness or Gary Taylor, whichever you prefer. I want better coaching, a winning culture, winning players. Zips coaches and players should be shamed and embarassed today. If they aren't, they are losers. If they want to log onto these boards and see more positive commentary and support from the posters, who are in some cases paying big money to support this university and this program, how about performing on the field?By the way, Zeke is a perfect example of what we need more of on the football team. He's a WINNER, who has joined a WINNING program on the rise. What your post really makes me think is how much it sucks not to have a KD coaching the football program.SYZCause if Zeke sees how Akron fans are treating their rookie quarterback, he might wonder if he's going to get the same treatment as soon as he throws some errant passes, or misses a layup. I'd be worried too, by the lack of loyalty to our student-athletes, and to our Akron athletic program. Zeke's a couple years younger than Matt, so I hope he's developed a hard shell at a young age!

I'm not worried about him missing layups....he's 7' tall and should be getting dunks. Zeke is a HS All-American and will lay waste to this horrible conference.

Z.I.P. Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I would be thanking the lot of you, who think that because you have the right to drag down your school's student athlete's, that you therefore should, for proving my point in this thread. However, as I tried to point out, you are doing the athletes, coaches and teams a disservice. Not by merely being critical and letting out your frustration, but by taking out your anger on specific players without just cause. Apparently, none of you have ever been in the shoes of Matt Rodgers, OR Zeke Marshall. Well, that goes without saying. All I ask is that people think before posting. That's all.

ziprowdy Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 to the booster member who is on this thread i have a question for you...you say you want better for the team and things...you said you want better coaching and a winning culture, and believe me i want that too...i love the zips and the school, and i am a huge sports fan...well i should say i lovED the zips...there have been some recent events that have made me not love the zips so much, but i am still a fan...i want to know how you feel about CJ remaining on scholarship after all that has happened...i mean you are a contributing member to this program, how does it make you feel?...ill tell you how i feel about it...im pissed about it...as a student i have to work my ass off to keep what little money i get from the university...its a long story but i planned on going elsewhere and it didnt work out, so i get like $500 a YEAR from this school...i have to bust my ass to keep it, and im not arrogant but i think i deserve more...now CJ steals from people, gets dismissed from the team and yet he gets to keep his scholarship which i guarantee is more than $500 a year...this is complete BULL SHIT!

w00t Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I don't know what all the fuss is about... all three of the teams that we've lost to so far are better than we are, and we won't see another team as good as any of them for the rest of the season.The only thing that's frustrated me through the first few games is the horrendously boring and predictable plays that have been run on offense.

Inexcusable.Second game in a row where the Time of Possession was 35 minutes for the opponent and 24 minutes for us. But yes let's blame the defense for playing almost a full quarter more than the offense. Face it, Rodgers is not a good a QB. I've said since his freshman year when Rasor started hyping him. The kid has no awareness in the pocket, he pulls the ball down too quickly, and that is why he gets sacked so often. As it stands right now, it's a much better call to run 1 of 6 running backs up the middle on first down, than it is to drop Rodgers back. That means we are destined to have a predictable offense.I really wish I didn't have to say it, I hope and pray he proves me wrong, but as of right now Rodgers is a taint. (He's not the reason we lost the game, not making any big offensive plays against the most explosive offense in the MAC is what lost it) but he is certainly not a quality QB at this point.
