They are rotating them because of Thorson's injuryWhy is thorson not playing the full game? I get that he wa injured but he looked good yet Fitz kept throwing in Trent Greens kid.

I have only caught parts of their games so might have missed that. Do they have a specific rotation? In the Purdue game they were rolling on the first two drives and then made the switch. After that they alernated a lot. I can’t ever remembering a quarterback being limited on his playing time. Typically they are either medically cleared or not when coming back from a knee injury. Hopefully he is ready for Big 10 play.They are rotating them because of Thorson's injury

He was not at all terrible..Thorson was terrible before the injury, and continues to prove stupidity of McCall.
Anybody ever looked up his TD-int ratio?Gee, looking at his stats in the past, his inability to throw the deep ball, INTERCEPTIONS....
How this guy gets a pass with you guys is beyond me.
I am.... very.https://www.insidenu.com/2018/5/1/1...iano-montre-hartage-paddy-fisher-northwestern
Still too early to predict how the season will go or how well the recovery from the ACL surgery will go, although he has looked pretty mobile so far.
I guess I will choose to believe the NFL experts as well as my own eyes over your strangely aggressive opinion.
You seem angry about this?
The first pick 6 was brutal. The 2nd one should have been caught. That number 10 on Akron played lights out! I don't think anyone on the field wanted to win more than that dude.Ugly second half for Thorson and the Cats. 2 pick 6s and a fumble returned
Yep, so far you have been correct.
Thorsen and most of the team have not looked good at all. The offensive line has been miserable, which isn’t helping, but that Akron team was terrible. If NU had played remotely well they would have won by 40 points.
To make it even worse it was a four hour game, they better figure out a way to start selling beer at Ryan field if this continues.
By the way, BMW’s are nice cars.
Beer at Ryan would definitely help for those at the game who can’t turn the mediocrity off.
THORSON WILL GRADUATE AS THE WORST RATED QB OF THE PADDY ERA.
Since he can dictate to McCall what plays he will or will not run and has no JJ to take any heat off of him, his painfully obvious inability to perform will be showcased like their new practice field.
I used to watch postgame press conferences strictly waiting to hear someone ask Paddy the obvious WTF question. After I found out they control the postgame attendance,questions, and the narrative to insure Paddy doesnt have to answer any “tough” questions, I even quit watching that.
I wish no ill will towards the health and happiness of any of the current Wildcat players who were sold a pipe dream with purple coolaid, but whomever decided Thorson was a starter to begin with was a BUFFOON. STATS DO NOT LIE!
PS. BMW 635csi was possibly one of the coolest cars ever!
He MIGHT...MIGHT...be best they now, however if there is even a question mark, you will not see a backup. They can’t afford to look like bad decision makers even while their Golden Parachute drops.While I agree Thorsen is overrated there has been no other QB on the roster that is better the him so who should they play? You can argue they need to recruit better but he is the best that they have.

They TOTALLY screwed Matt Alviti.
If these bozos did not have the academics of Northwestern backing them up as a school, they couldn’t recruit a bunch of Dems to a Trump hat burning rally.
It’s funny, I wondered if your extreme reaction had anything to do with Matt Alviti and now you have confirmed it.They TOTALLY screwed Matt Alviti.
I must have missed Matt’s performance in the bowl game last year.NU did split time at QB in 2015 with Thorson and Oliver but Alviti got beat out but the top two guys and never made the rotation. He was a very good HS QB but was over matched in the Big Ten he was too small and didn’t have a strong enough arm or the foot speed to overcome it.

I was even going to make a joke and ask if you were Mr. Alviti, then I decided he’s probably a nice guy so I didn’t want to imply anything negative about the family.
Ah... good catch. Mr Alviti is about a solid person as you would ever meet. Our neighbors of 18 yrs. He would NEVER say publicly what he thinks about this particular subject. He would actually prefer to speak to those two buffoons face to face, however that will never happen.
At the same time I’m not sure why you would imply I’m not a nice person as nothing I have suggested in this thread was based on anything other than black and white facts that any moron like myself can look up. Unfortunately because of proximity I know more than I would like to about the recruiting, the promises, the “we have a package for you this week” lies that boy was told.
In the end, I’m well aware it doesn’t matter what I think, except for the fact that a diploma from An AWESOME institution, what these guys have done at least in this case is borderline criminal.
Promises are pretty much what every college coach does to get kids to go there. They all lie and use the players since that’s how the system is set up. You especially have to keep back up QBs happy since if they leave it can kill a program so you tell them what ever they want to hear so they stay.
Not really... just looking for Clarity for Clayton.Wow this is over white-knighting Matt Alviti?
Absolutely disagrees with me. I’m tempted to suggest the NU folks wrote that to begin withThorsen has not played well so far this year coming off the torn ACL, but this report before the season certainly disagrees with PRokie’s assessment.

Actually Walter Football has been around for over ten years and is run by a former Penn State guy, doubt they would somehow come under the direction of the NU people.Absolutely disagrees with me. I’m tempted to suggest the NU folks wrote that to begin with
If anyone is getting knighted it’s Your boy C
All I said is he's not terrible. Where is my hyping him?Not really... just looking for Clarity for Clayton.
Seems yuz and Beemer have had your share of the koolaid.
Not really... just looking for at least respectWow this is over white-knighting Matt Alviti?
if Pic sixes are your thing, he is above averageThe Illini would have loved to have Thorson the last 4 years. Don’t know if he is going to cut it in the NFL but above average in the Big 10.
Please, for the record. Prior to his devastating injury, cane we discuss his avg. completion, pic6, completion to int. Percentage.Thorsen has not played well so far this year coming off the torn ACL, but this report before the season certainly disagrees with PRokie’s assessment.
