Hack: Still "dead-on" with "Off-target" passes! Hits reporters!!
- Thread starter TheGLOV
- Start date
I can't blame him for throwing at reporters. Maybe he can nail Francesca right in the snotbox.
Unfortunately it saddens me, but I can't say that I'm surprised by these reports. Hack has always had accuracy issues not named ARob.

How many other 5-star QBs would honor their commitment to a school after absorbing a death blow from the NCAA? Hope the young man enjoys the life of his dreams.
Hack himself was a good soldier for PSU and I believe truly loves PSU. The problem was "team Hack" (Dad and Bro').
I hear ya ChiTown but this is apples and oranges sir.
Accuracy = Apples
Your response = Oranges
The Jets and correct thinking do NOT go together sir and should never be used in the same sentence.
Ha, who says he lacks accuracy. Well done Hack, well done.

The funny thing is back in the day I would read practice reports from Ryan Snyder and others and they would glow about Hack in practice - 'Hack is really, really good at football.'
Next week, let's hammer Mike Mauti! That'll be fun. Then we can hope recruits come here for the fan base.
How is this hammering on Hack? The kid is being picked off in OTAs by one of the worst groups of DBs in the country and when he's not being picked off he's pelting reporters on the sideline. Who he is as a person and what he did at PSU has nothing to do with the fact that he is not an NFL QB. I sure nobody wants the kid to fail but unfortunately that is exactly what is happening with regards to him becoming an NFL QB.
The reason is simple. People were blinded by the throws he could make when he was accurate. He could make some throws that many NFL qbs wish they could. Coaches, reporters and scouts would drool over the possibilities. They would make excuses for those bad throws his entire career. In high school it was because he played behind a terrible online. Under OB it was freshmen nerves/mistakes. Under Franklin it was poor coaching and oline. He in the NFL and running out of excuses. You can only make excuses so long. The reality is setting in that this kid may never put it all together and is just simply an inaccurate thrower.

So, let's bash him every time some New York media outlet calls him out on it? Ok.
You're telling me the Jets DB's are worse than the Steelers' DB's? With memories of the AFC Championship game still fresh in my mind, I ask - can that be possible? (See, e.g., Chris Hogan...apparent future HOF'er)
After the past few months, with Fields and Parsons, his commitment to stay with is in our lowest points is even more remarkable. We can't get 5*s to stick with us after this past season. I'll always be a Hackenberg fan.
So why not hammer Mike Mauti, per my post, he's not had a great NFL career and is unemployed. Lets keep bringing up any former players who aspired to be NFL players and not having great careers time and time again.
That will really help out recruiting as the kids can sign onto BWI and get a perfect example of how much the fan base supports kids that came to PSU in the worst college scandal in history.
Better yet, lets get their twitter accounts and direct tweet them when a PSU player is having a hard time.
Here is what I don't get about NY. They are the first to whine about any and all of their sports teams. Then, when one gets good and wins a championship, they are like "effen eh people, we are NY, the greatest city in the world!". The drama is always off the charts. I assume it is the NY media, but the contrast is funny to me.
Personally, I don’t get or understand the hate for Hack or Tim Tebow for that matter.
I think the hate says more about those individuals and their character than it does anything else.

Man I was so hoping all the I hate Hack and Hack discovered fire arguments would be done at this point. Guess not.
How many coaches on the hot seat would have stuck with Hack while McSorley was on the bench?
Not even that could make Sara's synapses fire in the correct sequence.
Like I said before, you never see Ohio State or Michigan fans slamming their former players like some PSU fans on this board like to do.
It's sad that some PSU fans need to go there.

I never post on here but I have to say ....I don't understand the need to constantly beat up on a guy that was PSU all the way ....he stayed with us in our darkest times and some people just need to keep kicking this guy in the ass every chance they get .... sorry I don't get it - he's gone and I appreciate what he did for Penn State ........99 % of you guys were never close to playing college football so make yourselves feel better by these kind of posts .....makes me sick with this pathetic crap

Worth going back and reading Andrew Callahan's assessment of Hack in his last year at Penn State. Was very fair I thought and many here regard him as one of the top writers/analysts covering PSU. I'll add - how much better do you think Hack would be regarded if a) Barkely was healthy and available all of 2015, b) the refs didn't blow critical calls against the OSU game costing us a chance at a win, and c) if Christian Campbell makes just one of two plays in the game against NW?
Gesicki had a ton of drops, Paris Palmer started at LT. if we are going to bust players, let's do it right.
We can only hope that some of the reporters were of the libtard variety and maybe Hack knocked some sense into em'
I didn't talk shit sir.
I didn't write the article.
Complain directly to the author.
Screw you ass-hole!

But Mauti did have decent run in the NFL on special teams. Wasn't he awarded some kind of honor by his team for it too? I don't recall exactly but doesn't he also have some kind of a medical issue that has finally put the brakes on his career.
As for the bashing an hammer on, I don't see anybody really bashing on Hack. Stating he is not an NFL caliber QB is not bashing. It's simply stating a fact.
Mauti BTW was with the Saints just last season and was ST's captain...then had a serious injury. Hack has always had accuracy issues but scouts look at how tall a kid is, his frame, and how well he can spin it. Brees can spin the ball the same way every time and literally drop the ball on any dime without Hack's arm or height. Great kid that came to PSU at its darkest hour...wish he could fix the accuracy stuff, but if he hasn't by now...it isn't the coaching. He may also be just stuck in his own head instead of just chucking the ball around...which happens. Either way the PSU fans that get giddy over him not doing well are a bit odd to me...very odd...nicest way to put it without using some profanity.
Oh, ok, how about Sam Ficken? Why aren't people posting week in and week out about how Sam Ficken isn't an NFL caliber kicker? why is a medical issue any different from accuracy? aren't injuries part of the game? Hey, Jessie James plays for the Steelers. Can someone please start a thread a week on how he is too tall, skinny and a poor blocker? Carl Nassib, same class, both drafted fairly highly. Browns drafter TWO DE's in the last draft. Why aren't people starting threads on how, after a year, he is nearing being an NFL bust?
BTW, how many PSU players came back and were invited onto the sideline for both of the last two Blue/White games?
These things keep me up at night...
What used to crack me up was that "Gould was no good because there was no 'special teams' coach".
What happened to all the kickers before him without a "special teams coach"?
