    If neither Fields nor Wilson do well, a Rookie QB is very well likely going to be in the drivers seat. Again, and, as I have asked you, being premature on a future draft picks projection no?!

    Indeed I have.


    I also saw Drew Allar with some of the worst supporting cast among the B1G Teams. Hell, with the exception of Theo Johnson, the rest of his receiving unit was barely able to catch passes; much less a cold. Very premature to say that he "is in way over his head" heading into the 2024 NCAA Football Season.


    Much of the same was said about Josh Allen; another toosly QB. Just like Allar, look what he had around him at Wyoming. Give Allen even a fighters chance and he will succeed.

    Sure that would apply if any of us were part of The decision-making process.

    To be determined.


    Kenny Pickett wasn't much to write home about until his Senior Season. Allar is still a Sophomore. Allar still has time.

    In addition, Kenny Pickett also had a WR named Jordan Addison. Anyone like that on Penn State?!

    He is terrible, as Steelerule 6 stated stinks against big time talent, OSU, Mich . PSU has many 4 and 5 star players on team have consistently recruited in top 15 nationally
    for years.

    OSU and Michigan also have, guess what, superior recruiting classes than PSU. Moreover, both can outrecruit PSU in WR talent; the very thing that any QB needs to even have a fighters chance in the modern NCAA. Hell and, again, go look at Josh Allen's time at Wyoming.


    Allen literally was Wyomings Offense. Whomever else aided Allen... wasn't very much. Same can be said for Allar. His WR Corps couldn't catch a cold even if they tried.


    Regardless, this is getting nowhere. What will settle this for good is, and as I say again, is the 2024 NCAA Football Season. Me, you and others nationwide will find out if Allar stinks or not.


    Once again, very premature to say a Sophomore on the up is bad, no?!

    And the Steelers won't be in a position to draft a top QB, because they will win enough games to keep them out of the top 10.

    I can't forget it. Every time I mention Pickett to my brother I hear a tirad about how piss poor we did, and I can't necessarily disagree with that.

    What we disagree with is I don't think he actually has what it takes to be a franchise QB and he does.

    I guess we will find out Kenny found new life in Philly. I actually want the dude to do well but won't hear the end of it if he does lol

    Completely agree, but he is still, completely correct here. The evidence to support these positions are astounding and would be shocked at anyone attempting to deny it.

    I might even be entertained watching someone trying to contort themselves to support Canada and Tomlin’s reasons for doing what they did.

    It’s an expanded branch of the same “bad coaches” conversation. Much of this stems from poor coaching and evaluations. Doubling down on something bad because they don’t have the ability, capacity, and agility to transition out of and to something better.

    Except for one horrendous Super Bowl Neil O’Donell was a pretty darn good QB for us and waaaay Better than Bubby Brister who he was stuck behind for way too long.

    Yup. I’m rooting for both Pickett and Rudolph. I think they are both far better than how they looked with The Steelers and it was more the coaches (then Rooney and the GMs) fault before the two QBs and their developing abilities.

    You're so predictable I knew you would respond with something negative :rolleyes:. And only one of those teams has made the Super Bowl, I doubt Ravens fans are happy with only a few playoff wins with a two time MVP QB.

    Lol when you said I am a ravens fan and I don't think the Rams care about the fact they are only 12-12 against their division and 1-7 vs 49ers(and their only win was a good backup against backup like a preseason game) since 2020

    canada was terrible but we survived cause the standard is the standard and tomlin gets no blame cause his background is defense . If we had a good h.c. with that background he should have concluded real quick that we had an offense that any good defense would dream to be playing against.
