kirklandduck Moderator No. 5 Share Posted January 7 Should be interesting to see him next season and whether he takes over WR1. Logically he should be much more comfortable playing in the same system for a 2nd year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OregonDucks No. 6 Share Posted January 7 I think that’s a good decision. He needs to become more consistent before heading to the League, as he disappeared for long stretches this season. He certainly has the talent. Hope he puts in serious work with Dante Moore this offseason to develop that chemistry! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that was play-calling, to purposely NOT score a boatload of points--just win the games. I believed he would be unleashed in the Playoffs, but alas...was injured. The only upside to his injury is his return for 2025, giving Moore some proven receivers to throw to, in addition to the young-guns joining us. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, Stewart needs to prove that he can produce on the intermediate routes. I love DG but feel that he locked on to Tez too frequently (not that I can fault him too much given what Tez could do with the ball in his hands in the open field).

Babyjesus615 No. 9 Share Posted January 7 With the way to ball flies out of Dante Moore’s hands, we could see some serious deep shots. Malik Benson should also be a vertical threat with the speed he has. A 10.4 100 meter dash is pretty quick! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That calculator is wrong. 10.5 speed historically related to about 4.4X speed on turf. 10 flat would be 4.25-4.30 territory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logically he should be much more comfortable playing in the same system for a 2nd year. I loved Gabe but it will be interesting to see if Stewart is thrown to Moore when playing with a RH QB. Moore's problems at UCLA came on short and mid-range throws more than on deep throws. He has the arm strength to go deep, no doubt. At 6'3" he'll have an easier time looking downfield than Gabe.
