Not sure why we don't at least give some of the young guys some playing time at WR whith out blowing their redshirts.
A stat line MEANS NOTHING. Absolutely nothingLando, you can dress it up any way you want and make all the excuses in the world, but the hard fact remains that a stat line like that, featuring a QBR of 29, is not "playing well enough to win" against teams of Ohio State's caliber.
Look, I stressed that Saturday's abysmal failure on offense is not all on Drew. There's plenty of blame to go around. But to pretend that Drew played just jim-dandy and has no responsibility for the poor showing is nonsense.
Next you'll be telling us we can lose another game this year and still be a lock for the playoffs. Oh wait...
What about when Ohio State was in zone, which they did a fair bit of?When a WR can't beat a CB 1v1 the QB has no chance. Not one of our guys can. Not one.
My head hurts--you don't find open receivers when no one is openWhat about when Ohio State was in zone, which they did a fair bit of?
He just doesn't seem to see things quick enough. Doesn't find the open receiver often enough.
He wasn't awful against OSU (though he was last year). He just wasn't very good either.
Elite quarterbacks don't produce 0 touchdowns in their last 6 quarters of play.Allar is elite
He didn't. Rewatch Wisconsin and his perfect throw to Singleton for 6Elite quarterbacks don't produce 0 touchdowns in their last 6 quarters of play.
I forgot Allar is the only QB in the country who has people drop his passes.He didn't. Rewatch Wisconsin and his perfect throw to Singleton for 6
Rewatch Wallace dropping a perfectly placed ball for 6
Rewatch Fleming dropping a perfect throw in the first half against Wisconsin
QBs aren't to blame for everything--only casuals say that. Like when the goalie is at fault for every goal allowed in hockey
It just means you don't know what you're seeing
He's not--you forgot he had a TD against WisconsinI forgot Allar is the only QB in the country who has people drop his passes.
You are wrong. He quite literally DID go his last 6 quarters without leading his team to a TD. Watch the games again, or look at a box score. It really happened.
You are right. I did forget about the TD against Wisconsin. So 1 TD in his last 6 quarters. 2 of those quarters going against a defense that just allowed 40+ to Iowa.He's not--you forgot he had a TD against Wisconsin
He didn't play in the second half--keep trying dumbass
Yes and I had to tell you twice you forgot it because of your biasYou are right. I did forget about the TD against Wisconsin. So 1 TD in his last 6 quarters. 2 of those quarters going against a defense that just allowed 40+ to Iowa.
He also "lit up" Illinois for 21 points and UCLA for 27 points.
Our offense has a lot of talent. It is not a great offense. The QB has something to do with that.
Harrison Wallace is pretty good. As is Liam Clifford. Do you think Indiana has way more offensive talent than PSU? Clearly not. But they have a great QB instead of a pretty good one. That's the difference.Yes and I had to tell you twice you forgot it because of your bias
And, again, we score more if his WRs catch the ball
Our offense has absolutely no talent at WR--none. And we see that weekly.
Wallace is not goodHarrison Wallace is pretty good. As is Liam Clifford. Do you think Indiana has way more offensive talent than PSU? Clearly not. But they have a great QB instead of a pretty good one. That's the difference.
I've watched Rourke play several times. I watched him carve up our defense when he was at Ohio. He is a better QB than Allar, and it isn't particularly close.Wallace is not good
Clifford is the only that can read a zone defense and sit down in it
Indiana has a better WR room than we do
Allar > Rourke
But you likely didn't even know Rourke's name
How many times have you watched Indiana play this year? Zero?
When did Rourke even play a decent defense this year?
Rourke being better than Allar is one of the best things i've read on this boardI've watched Rourke play several times. I watched him carve up our defense when he was at Ohio. He is a better QB than Allar, and it isn't particularly close.
So now stats matter?Rourke being better than Allar is one of the best things i've read on this board
He completed maybe half his passes against us and had almost no yards--promise you on that--but that was carving up our defense?
Wasn't he even benched in that game? Or were they just so bad he sat....he was definitely taken out
Ah but I do.You have no idea if that's true. If it is, he deserves criticism but the way I understand it, Franklin isn't making any play calls at this point.
Not stats--his play--the game was too fast for himSo now stats matter?
He got hurt, if I remember correctly.
When I found out Rourke was at Indiana I thought it was a great pickup and put big money on Indiana to win and cover at UCLA early in the season. Thanks, Rourke!Not stats--his play--the game was too fast for him
But, sure, you can blame his supporting cast and the different talent levels but he didn't carve us up
In fact, he was subpar that day.
There's a reason Rourke wasn't highly sought after in the portal. He's a nice QB but not special
If Allar entered the portal tomorrow, how many offers do you think he'd have by the end of the first hour?
The one who's played the 28th hardest schedule not 102QB 1: 73.3% completions, 2200 yards, 19 TD, 3 INT, 188.5 rating
QB 2: 70.1% completions, 1786 yards, 12 TD, 5 INT, 167.7 rating
Which one do you like?
Hi, Rourke's mommy.I've watched Rourke play several times. I watched him carve up our defense when he was at Ohio. He is a better QB than Allar, and it isn't particularly close.
Now you are arguing how tough PSU's schedule is. HahahahahahahahahahaThe one who's played the 28th hardest schedule not 102
Are you really this stupid? Sorry rhetorical question.2024 Ohio State
2023 Ohio State
2023 Michigan
2024 Wisconsin
I have to ask...what kind of knee "injury" occurs where you are unable to play a half of football, but are fully able to play a full game of football the next week? It's questionable, to say the least.
In comparison to IndianaNow you are arguing how tough PSU's schedule is. Hahahahahahahahahaha
Allar wasn’t the problem against OSU.Lando, you can dress it up any way you want and make all the excuses in the world, but the hard fact remains that a stat line like that, featuring a QBR of 29, is not "playing well enough to win" against teams of Ohio State's caliber.
