Nah. Stick with Cremascoli. Give him a full week of prep and let him start another game.
Agreed, I like what I saw out of Nevan. He did well for his first game.
I guess they finally decided the Lynch offense of never throwing wasn't working anymore.
Which is fine. But they needed 4 games to figure this sh!t out? Creamsicle could be in his 4th start by now
Or, he was so far down the depth chart it took them a little while to get him ready to play. He was probably pretty deep on the practice squad roster.

What an embarrassing effort. I was watching our sideline in the first half. Zero energy. Nobody wanted to be there. Looks like they’ve officially checked out. We left after the fake FG.

Seemed to me, from tv, the effort was pretty good. They just have a lack of talent in too many key positions.

It’s less about him and more about evaluating Lynch. Obviously they didn’t plan on needing their 3rd stringer to start and Lynch was only #3 to be used in conjunction with Rocky or Ethan as a change of pace. But if this kid was their best passing option behind Hampton he should have been getting reps once Ethan went down. The run-only Lynch scheme was the some of the worst coaching you’ll see at this level.

I think the walk on has potential. Not sure how long it will take him but he could be pretty good.

He has a good arm and more importantly he has decent pocket awareness. Honestly, his pocket awareness is much better than Hampton’s.

Seemed like for a minute there, they thought they could salvage something out of Lombardi but that became apparent a week or so ago that wasn't going to be viable.
Personally, I liked what I saw from Cremascoli better than what I saw from Hampton. Sometimes you don't get to really see how a kid performs until they actually perform. Hampton might do pretty well in practice and its possible he was more versed in the playbook or picked it up faster for whatever reason.
I just liked Cremascoli's decision making tonight. He's got a sh!t line in front of him which made him think on his feet. Hampton made bad decisions imo when pressured where Cremascoli seemed to have an escape plan most of the time.
I'm thinking (hoping) his accuracy will get better with experience. Those overthrows are often due to adrenaline and, i'd say, that is excusable for a kid in a desperate moment late in his 1st game.
The pick at the end wasn't good. Same for the almost pick on the pass to Tucker in the previous series. I don't think he saw the defender on that one. On the last one, I think he was running out of receivers and just tried to force it in.

Why Cremascoli was behind.justin lynch I have no idea. The kid has some natural ability and should be looked at as the starter for the rest of the season

That was probably the worst NIU game I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot. I cringe at the thought that we have three more games left! This program needed a top to bottom rebuild after Carey drove it into the ground. Hammock was supposed to be the one to do that. But I think this is just too big of a job for him. This season has exposed a lot of weaknesses that were probably masked by Rocky’s great play last year. We barely won a lot of those games. Without Rocky, we might have had another losing season. That doesn’t take anything away from the accomplishment, but I think it had to do more with Rocky and the rest of the players than the coach. I was defending Hammock up to this point, but it might be time for him to move on.

I think someone just said (which was news to me) that Cremascoli is a walk-on. Considering Lynch was on scholarship, played at Temple last year, and is a legacy player...I think it's pretty obvious why he was ahead of Cremascoli.
I'm also not convinced Lynch doesn't have a bum arm. He threw the ball enough at Temple last year and almost not at all this year. Granted, when he did throw it, it looked like he shouldn't be throwing it.
Nevertheless, I would say Cremascoli is the 2nd best passer on the roster right now, behind only a healthy Lombardi. That's based on nothing more than watching tonights game but he's clearly better than Lynch and, imo, he's also better than Hampton.

Overshadowed by the QB carousel is how utterly average to below average this O-line is. The Cox loss probably made it go from average to below average. That might be the most disheartening thing about this team. It was suppose to be their biggest strength next to RB and it’s garbage.

If we’re at the point that we are playing a walk-on qb with three games to go, the program is in a truly sad state.

That’s really the big point. If there was no transfer portal we are looking at 4 disasterous seasons in a row.
