Lets talk about the QBs in 2024 draft.

[Bob In PA]

Going to watch JJ McCarthy closely this  week vs.Penn State. Thoughts?

spider: Watch his opponent too. Sophomore Drew Allar will likely come out for the 2025 draft. I think next year as a junior he'll beat both Ohio State and Michigan (a super-rare feat) and take his team to the playoffs. Bob

Bob - I will take that bet.

Phil: How will I collect when I win?  I'm not driving to Hawaii. lol

[Dgoodmantrublu]

Franklin winning a big game? Yeah. Sure.

Dgood: Your skepticism is well-founded; I'm right there in line with you.

But the D coordinator is first-rate, IMO. 

My point----->  It will take THE PLAYER (Allar) to win both games, and I think he'll be that good by then.

Ha Ha.  I hear you swim like Michael Phelps.

Bob - I have not gotten the impression the PSU's fanbase has grown impatient with Franklin's lack of success against Michigan or OSU.  Am I wrong?

The Big 10 East has been tough.

Bob,

I hope you are right about Allar, but I haven't seen it yet.  He has some good physical characteristics but I have seen much else.

[Dgoodmantrublu]

I am of the belief that most QBs should get to the pros as soon as they can because college coaching of QBs is mostly terrible. Allar could be an example of that. Anthony Richardson certainly was.

Never get too high or too low based off one performance. He will do good things and probably struggle at times cause Penn State's defense is legit. Michigans weakness offensively are their tackles and they have struggled to run the ball like they have the last two years. Chop Robinson can have a big deal, especially if Penn State can get the lead.

Michigans schedule may rue them on this day.

Looks like Chop might be back, which would be awesome.  But the other DEs are serious problems also, Adissa Isaac and Dani Dennis-Sutton, plus our D Coordinator sends a ton of different guys off the edges, with Abdul Carter being one of the guys that wreaks havoc.  I feel better about this UM game than I did about the OSU game...I think PSU matches up better vs. UM than they did vs. OSU.  Should be a great game, anyways.

I would love nothing more than for PSU to beat both of these teams but Franklyn has one 2 big wins, OSU in 2016 and Michigan in 2019. He gets outplayed and outcoached every other year. 

[Bob In PA]

Bob,

I hope you are right about Allar, but I haven't seen it yet.  He has some good physical characteristics but I have seen much else.

uconn: That's because he's a sophomore. I'm only bringing him up now because this topic is full of guys I believe are no further along than Allar and he has the extra year to improve the very items you just listed. Bob

He's slowly becoming my QB1 for this class.

[brownelvis54]

He's slowly becoming my QB1 for this class.

I am worried about other teams taking him. I am also worried about mock drafts that have us trading up for Calib Williams.
