    How would you judge Howard if he was on Penn State with that coaching and wr talent AND got injured during the season (like Drew) and never had his championship run? Do we perceive Howard as a guy who just wins?

    Is our impressions of one being a winner and the other a choker centered more around circumstances?

    Did we really need yet another thread making excuses for Allar's habit of choking in the big moments when he was at Penn State? If you want to argue that Howard had a big advantage in his overall statistics and team success, that's fine, but players either step up in big moments or they fail. In college, Howard stepped up when it mattered most and Allar did not.

    I'm not rooting for one over the other, but I believe a qb has a lot to do with so called circumstances. Awesome Wr have nothing to do with bad footwork, improper throwing mechanics.
    What I actually wish is neither played for Penn State, or Ohio State because a bunch of people on here are never going to see the truth of the situation, they are only going to go with the one who went to the team they rooted for in college.
    I wish one was from Arizona state, and the other from New Mexico state. LoL. As a SEC/Razorbacks fan, I will root for whomever is best. Notice I didn't make excuses for us to take T. Green. How many of his Wrs were drafted, but guess what , a lot of that is because of his Qb play. It's hard to be a great Wr if Your Qb sucks, or can't get you the ball.
