Drew Allar was in complete control.

There’s too many ways to interpret it for me to take that leap. You can say the WR’s were bad, you can say he played poorly against good teams, you can say he wasn’t good enough to elevate the players around him… they’re all true to an extent. There’s plenty of time for him to improve, but it is certainly concerning that he played poorly against the best teams (pretty much without exception).

 

I have heard people who cover football talk about how bad that Penn State offense was.

 

Arch should not be on our radar. We already have our QB room for the forseeable future. After Rodgers retires its Mason, Howard, Allar. May the best qb win.

This sets us up nicely long term. Can concentrate on drafting other positions besides QB.

 

I don't know if that is a bad thing. If he played well against top competition, he would be gone before our first pick. Now, BECAUSE of that lack of big game success we have a uber talented guy who has fixable flaws in his mechanics due to bad coaching AND had bad wideouts.

If he was fundamentally sound yet choked in big games THAT would be another matter. As I said earlier, is it really that he chokes or are his flawed fundamentals preventing success against elite teams. Perhaps it was just that Allar and Penn State can beat bad teams because he could get away with poor form in those games. His fundamental flaws just get exposed against top teams. That gets fixed, it is a whole new deal.

We have a QB guru as head coach, breaking him down to basics. He essentially is saying, I know how to teach a QB fundamentals and if he is teachable, we got a steal".

There are no guarantees but if those fundamentals are indeed fixed, it would be foolish to assume a fundamentally sound Allar would have the same limitations in big games as he had in college.
