i wish him the best, but his performance, growth, and more important leadership were big disappointments, especially for a 4 star. He has one year to grow and position himself to be drafted and get a chance for practice and playing time to have pro career-if that's what is important to him...I just didn't see any passion translated to performance.Starts at about the 7 minute mark or so.
Hate to say it but I think his big game against Utah in the bowl set him up for either greatness or failure. He could have tasted that kind of success in a bowl game and decided to work even harder to up his game. But it seems that he tasted that success and read his press clippings and then got upset when things didn't go his way. Hopefully he learns from that.i wish him the best, but his performance, growth, and more important leadership were big disappointments, especially for a 4 star.

Good points. As in that we had two transfers who came in with high expectations (us on them and for themselves). As the year went on, with a young QB and sputtering ground game) expectations turned to unrealized expectations. Lot has been speculated that the WR run became toxic. The OC was fired.Hate to say it but I think his big game against Utah in the bowl set him up for either greatness or failure.

Blah blah blah blah blah. SOS; different day.Our QB coaching sucks and has for decades. I swear they are so afraid of ints they teach them to hold the ball until they are sacked. They get more tentative every year not less as you would expect.
We’ve had some good QBs in the past that were talented enough to overcome the coaching but not for many years.
Truth truth truth truth truth …everyday all day.Blah blah blah blah blah. SOS; different day.
Maybe, just maybe, he was "playing school." Maybe he learned from Cephus about putting oneself in a better academic spot to allow for more focus on ball at Auburn. I imagine their academic support staff is top notch too 😜I’m still wondering why he hung around so long even into spring practice? Thought he’d leave after the bowl game.
Yeah our coaches teach them to hold onto the ball until they are sacked. As my late father used to say if you had a clue, you’d be dangerous.Truth truth truth truth truth …everyday all day.
did anyone disappear more in big games than KLS?Starts at about the 7 minute mark or so.
Agree. He's just trying to talk up his new teammates which is to be expected.That's not much of a "diss." Sounds like he's just talking things up where his feet are currently planted, which everyone does and usually includes a bit of embellishment for effect. I doubt KLS wants to make it a war of words as his on field performances to date won't help back up any chirping he might do.
I can't imagine Drew Allar liking his words so much.Agree. He's just trying to talk up his new teammates which is to be expected.
Results speak for themselves and are obvious to even casual observers. Those who can’t face the brutal facts of their situation never improve. Personal insults when opinions differ are proof of a weak mind.Yeah our coaches teach them to hold onto the ball until they are sacked.

He is saying Allar was a lousy leader and could not galvanize the team. At this point you cannot say he is dead wrong.I can't imagine Drew Allar liking his words so much.
Actually I can. His actual leadership skills were not part or parcel for the reasons PSU lost to Ohio State and Michigan. His wide receiver group and his poor footwork were more the culprit. Drew Allan was not responsible for the total disappearance of KLS in big games. You can't throw complete passes to a receiver that jogs down the field and sulks.He is saying Allar was a lousy leader and could not galvanize the team. At this point you cannot say he is dead wrong.
Taking leadership in big moments to help your team. Being able to make players better. Motivating others to play better. Allar is not there....yet.Actually I can.

I think he can make quick decisions some of the time but he was not good under pressure and/or versus good defenses. My question is how in the world was he a 5 star top QB in the nation guy if he was a slow decision maker?KLS is a good solid college wideout, not a No. 1. Part of his problem at PSU was that they had no No. 1.
I'll be watching Allar but based on what I saw last year I'm not optimistic. I don't think the guy has the quick decisionmaking thing and if you don't have it, it can't really be taught. Very few QBs have it.
All the arm strength in the world, all the book-smartness in the world, all the leadership and teammate qualities -- none of it means anything if you can't read the field, know who is going to get open and release the ball in 2.8 seconds.
The way quality defenses are in college football, an immobile quarterback who needs 4-5 seconds and a wide-open receiver is just not going to cut it.

Why he ever saw field time at PSU is perplexing….
It's easier to make smart decisions when smaller and slower defenders are coming at you.Being a 5* is more about the tools than decision making.
The time to make decisions continues to decrease from HS to college to NFL.
This assessment does not bode well for us. If decision making is difficult to coach up and you either have it or you don't then he clearly has a ceiling and not expected to even be an NFL starter. I am not believing this at this stage but some yellow flags I guess. I think early projections have him as a top 10 pick and one of the top QBs. We will see how much he has improved with Kotelnicki coaching him and then how the NFL scouts perceive him as there is more on-field data.It's easier to make smart decisions when smaller and slower defenders are coming at you.
Yes, Allar.did anyone disappear more in big games than KLS?

I think players mature and gain confidence with age. Let's hope that's the case with Allar.This assessment does not bode well for us.

Your opinion not a factTaking leadership in big moments to help your team. Being able to make players better. Motivating others to play better. Allar is not there....yet.
This is fact--unlike the anti-Allar rhetoricIt's because he was better than the other WRs. It's not that perplexing, but it is an indictment of our WR room.
Thanks, Coach Boyer.KLS is a good solid college wideout, not a No. 1. Part of his problem at PSU was that they had no No. 1.

Not sure who Mary is? Anyway don't get mad at me, I am simply drawing the implication from the doom and gloom posts. Allar apparently has slow decision making, apparently can never improve in that area and apparently therefore can't be elite. Signed the coaches on this board.Calm down, Mary. The OC, who is gone now for a reason, spent too much time on Clifford during his unnecessary final year, so Allar was wetter behind the ears than he should have been. He will be fine, especially if the new coach does the smart thing and emphasizes Tight Ends and Running Backs until the Receivers can emerge. And if one or two make a quick leap, then this will actually be one of the top offenses in the Conference.
