Allar may return if he has another so so year, we lose in our biggest games with him not performing great and not projected as a first rounder. That is not necessarily good news but could happen.
I am not convinced Allar will go. Right now, he is ranked #5 QB coming into the NFL draft by Mel Kiper. That would probably mean a late first round or second round pick. QBs rarely lose draft status for getting hurt and even if he did, could probably come back for a fifth year. And his family isn't poor. They don't need the short term money. He may be better off exhausting his college experience so he doesn't wash out at QB and grab that $200m second contract from an NFL team. with NIL, he'll still make a million $.
Obviously you dont' have better things to worry about, or you would be going them or spending time worrying about them instead of wasting time in this thread!!
Yep, and Franklin had no problem telling us that Saunders had bumps and bruises and the rest of the story about his availability for punt returns.....
And that's Franklin's job--reload
We're 4-0 as we should be given the schedule
I expect Allar to go but who knows? Every projection I've seen has him in the first or second round. He might not be a better college QB than Ward, Sanders, Beck, Ewers, etc. but it's difficult to teach 6'5" 238 lbs. I think the player with the best chance to return is Allen. He would be a later round pick but he could really impress as the primary guy next year.
I'd imagine he'll go pro. The NFL coaches will fall in love with his size and arm strength and will insist "I can fix him" even if he has a mediocre year he'll still get drafted quite high. But so far he's not having a mediocre year, he's looked pretty good. As you stated, the 2nd contract is the big one and going to the NFL now gets him to that contract one year earlier than waiting for another season.
He should be so lucky to last until later in the 1st and hopefully get snatched up by a better team looking to ease him in if he's playing the long game. Better than getting a bigger contract out of the draft and then proceeding to be thrown to the wolves, often with a crappy supporting cast.
RB's dont get drafted in round 1 anymore outside of a freak like Saquon, Kaytron will never be a #1 RB in the NFL and I think he knows that, he needs to get faster and work on his receiving skills to go above the 4th round.
But i think RBs not getting draft as early now is exactly why Allen won't return. Get into the league regardless of when you're picked and get to that second contract.
And Katron has already been in the PSU S&C program 3 years so it's unlikely he changes his speed going forward. He is who he is and he may want to just enjoy college is state College another year. If Singleton goes Allen would be paired with likely Martin and be another potent and complementary duo.
I don't think Allen is going to get faster if he comes back for another year. He might get stronger and have better stats as the #1 RB.
Yes, because we can’t enjoy any wins except the two that this board determines are worthy.
I think Franklin’s “arrogance” may be the product of the media expecting a different answer after 10 years. And here we learn before the game that Singleton is fine and set to go today. My my.
We should make these for the peach bowlLOL ok dude. Nobody on here said we are entitled to it. But, i'll tell you this, now in the age of NIL where players and coaches are openly asking for support so said player stays on the roster, fans feel more 'entitled' to info than in the old days, right or wrong. You may not agree, and that is perfectly fine. But, when JF misleads and really was murky about the Peach Bowl opt outs and then we get smoked, the fans reax was at an all time high regarding this issue. You don't think people who invest in the program, but now specifically into players NIL wallets have more skin in the game for information? This isn't the 80's anymore when the game was more pure and simple.
And, JF's baffled reaction to the media actually doing their job by asking for answers regarding Nick and KJ, arguably the two best players on the team, is just childish. They aren't asking about the backup snapper. He needs some self-awareness.
Except that Sanders is playing and the question was why is he fair catching everything. Geez.
