Ah, the old "you can't do anything about it so why bother" argument.
Jesus effing Christos. Nice straw man.
It was that or watch our offenseMust have been a lousy lunch and/or a bad friend. You couldn’t pay me to talk about the Middle East, especially on a Saturday, during football season.

I have no problem with anyone discussing Penn State football…it’s the constant criticisms and doomsday posts that drive me crazy. Again, if you don’t enjoy it, why do it? When I get to the point where I’m ticked off after a win, I’ll find something else to do with my time.
Please show me one college football team in history that got better every single game. That’s not how this works. You have good weeks and bad weeks…hopefully you can pull out wins when you have a bad week. You will always have players having an off day at certain times…that may be the first game of the year, the sixth game, or the last game of the season. That’s what happens when you’re dealing with human beings.
So, Ludd, respectfully, you've chosen to be a certain "type" of fan, and you're telling me I should be that type of fan as well.
Another straw man. Didn't say we should see improvement every week. Just after a fairly weak performance against OSU last week, was hoping to see a some signs of improvement against a pretty bad defense.
I too have run that gamut in my fan hood. I used to let a loss bother me for days. Now, I watch every game and hope we win. If we do, then I’m happy. If we don’t, I’m bummed for a short period of time. The biggest thing that changed me was when I started coaching. Doing that is quite a reality check and makes you realize that good and bad things happen and that will never change.
We lost last week and we won this week, that’s improvement. Allar wasn’t great today, but he was better than last week, that’s improvement. Kaytron played better today, that’s improvement. We had no long pass plays last week, but we did today, that’s improvement. If you look for it, you can find it.
He didn’t play last year and now he has been scouted. You can throw all sorts of confusing defensive sequences at him that he has never seen before. Had he played last year, he would have gotten to see more of this. He is coming around, needs more time.
What are you talking about? Of course his first game was his best, no one had really seen him. This guy went from hs football to the big ten. That’s a sea change. When we lost to OSU and Michigan last year there was a decision to play Sean and win now or play for next year with Drew. They picked Sean. That’s fine, but you can’t now complain that Drew looks like crap when Sean got 6 years here and Drew got 8 games. Give Drew another 48 more games and see what he turns into. I see progress with him, but he needs to play more. He needs to see defenses and how coaches are scouting him. He isn’t a savant. He needs to learn his trade, which wasn’t going to happen sitting him on the bench, but it is what it is.
My guess is you will be right back here next week with the rest of us....
PSU fakes tempo every series and never does it. Standing straight up running backs at handoff. As Midnighter mentioned, CJF paws are all over this offense…
He played a lot last year and if he has gotten worse this year because teams have now seen him more, then how would giving them more tape on him last year help him this year? Your argument makes no sense.
He threw 60 total passes in 2022. He threw 42 at OSU last week. He didn’t play last year.
The defense was worse than the offense today and that is saying something
Lol, are we all really going to sit here and try to convince people that Drew played last year? Let’s have a little intellectual honesty.Posts that make me go hmmmm
