This is on the CNN front page....QB broke 10 school records. NFL scouts doubt him.
- Thread starter Richard the LIONhearted
- Start date
Good. I hope they keep doubting him.
He will succeed.
Added: all of his teammates are subtweeting this and letting people know what we already know.

From the CNN article, ......"McSorley lifted the program from NCAA probation after the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal and the school's alleged cover-up and in two short years led an improbable run to a Big Ten title."
Again I ask that this correctly be titled the PSU BOT Scandal...and select BOT members involvement with the second mile....

If Matt McGloin could do it, Trace sure as hell can.
Another fun fact:
Matt McGloin threw for more touchdowns than TP. He has fewer INTs too.
But hey, everybody kills people. Murders people. Steals from you. Steals from me. Whatever.

This sentence jumped out to me as well but I didn't want to bring it up for the fear of the onslaught of OT posts that might follow. But why are they still calling it an alleged cover up when that has been disproven in a court of law? None of the cover up charges stuck. Things are typically referred to as alleged when they are pending trial.
They, like too much of the press/media, are lazy and often have agendas. Since most of the uninformed nation is taken in by their tactics there is no reason to report accurately. After 2011 I'm mystified at PSU fans/supporters who take much of any "news" reported as fact.
Not wanting to head this in a negative direction it great that they acknowledged the conundrum that is Trace. Had these records been set by a young man of 6'3" tall it would be legendary but due to 3 inches, it is an outlier that is doubted. I saw the TD's, they were real.
Well, two measurables work against him. Hand size and arm strength. We've seen height be dismissed recently. Hand size is still one of those things and his are one of the smallest of the major QBs in the draft. For example, cold weather teams are loath to take a small hand QB due to the problems of gripping a ball in cold weather. The real issue is arm strength. We'll see if he can make the NFL throws at the combine. His biggest problem in college was making the deep throws (over 40 yards). There is no question about his leadership, game understanding and decision process.
To me, it will all come down to demonstrable arm strength.

Well considering the fact the time in line is wrong. Two short years from what?
What can you expect from the national media
I love the kid, and I'm certain he will do well in life. That said, I can't think of a single undersized QB who has succeeded in the NFL who did not possess at least good- by NFL standards- arm strength. Brees, Flutie, Tarkenton- all big arms.
If Trace has that, I have yet to see it.

...and lest we forget that he said he was enrolled at "The University of Ohio State"...LOL.
One item I rarely hear NFL talking heads mention related to this is that the NFL football is a different size than a college football. It will be interesting to see how Trace adapts to the change for him.
I know I will never doubt what Trace can do. Call me selfish, but I hope he ends up in Washington. Local to the area and close enough for the crowd to head south from State College every weekend. I would consider skipping an away game next year, if I knew I could go see Trace play in Washington on Sunday
