Drew has much more speed and ability to run than many give him credit for. he just didn't run that much. When he did it was often effective. I bet his 40 is in the range of most TE's - around 4.7
The year he spent behind Sean Clifford was the right move. I’m sure Cliff did a great job mentoring DA…and DA wasn’t ready.
Without wide receivers and with deer in headlights look in big spots, it will be an uphill climb…seems destined for Hack 2.0
Hopefully he is focused on what can be, unburdened by what has been.
The play calling of AK who you haven't seen call a game yet will hold this team back? Well that at least sounds reasonable. I don't see this team as talented as 94 on O, but not too many have been or will be. That to me is a bigger issue than play calling that we have yet to see. The good news is they don't have to be 94 good on offense to win as the 94 defense was average.
Well it's easy to say if you just mix in "I hope I'm wrong". Dude had a 26-2 TD/INT ration in his first year and only under the PSU microscope is that a failed season. The best QB's ever have had bad games against better competition as it's a part of the game. Nobody is putting him in the HOF and nobody should be writing him off just yet, but it's just easier to jerk the knees and spout out stuff.
Seriously since they haven’t played a single game yet how could you possibly have any idea as to what plays the new OC will run?
This is the 2nd response I got to my post and would just like to remind you that even though there is a new OC, we still have the same head coach and the offense has pretty much sputtered under various OCs during the head coaches tenure. Expecting the same old same old, we seem to have the talent but it is the schemes/play calling that seems to hold them back all the time.
Absolutely agree.
Better than your ability to read and comprehend a post. If you want to write him off....go ahead, I'm not stopping you. Repeating dumb message board cliches is a thing here, but I don't buy them....but you do you....and maybe read this part again and say the words out loud.
Disagree. Sean should have been pulled after OSU. Season was over for any national relevance at that point; Sean had received more than his fair share of opportunity to prove that he could carry the team. James wasn't under any threat of actually getting fired either, so he didn't need to win to keep his paycheck. Clifford era was officially over and recruits and the portal guys needed to see the future at the most important position on the field with the #1 HS 5-star QB recruit. Drew would have seen 16 full quarters of Indiana, Maryland, Rutgers, and MSU, in addition to the prep time and focus as the main guy for an entire month plus a bowl game. Not exactly murders row, but a good endurance test run and a good chance to make mistakes when it didn't really matter to the overall standings or your coach's mortgage payment. That would have helped him get ready for 2023. Instead, Sean played so we could get to a meaningless Rose Bowl (how do I know it was meaningless? I haven't seen one person on here say "but who will go to the rose bowl?!?!?!" now that the 12 team playoffs are here) and Drew predictably struggled when he got thrown into the fire for the first time as the main man. He could have had a softer landing for 2023, but Sean Clifford needed that 6th season and Franklin needed to justify playing him over Drew so... too bad Drew. It is what it is.
Drew was plenty ready for last season. He had a WR room that was vacant. Verdict is still out on that group.
I'm sure the head coach hired a new OC so nothing would change.
You mean cliches like questioning reading comprehension?
Cool, that is so awesome!!! An apologist cliche on top of that.....you're such heros taking the field over PSU!!!! Hopefully they don't make the playoffs or have a good year so you can be "right". I'll still watch PSU and actually hope they have a great year....oh the horror that must bring you. You're lucky as you don't have to watch a single game since you know it all.

If PSU doesn’t make the playoffs with the cake-walk schedule they have it will be a disaster for the program.Cool, that is so awesome!!!
