Q needs to distance himself from the old man quickly

Q’s old man is correct and everyone but you and Campbell realize it.

It's acceptable for his daddy to bash a teammate on social media....wow
Good luck with that--maybe dad shouldn't live through his kid

But it was an accurate bashing and we’re in a new era. I don’t have a problem with QM2 calling it as it is.

It’s okay to be outspoken when you share the truth.

Daddy can't comment about Q's playing time and his teammates--it's inappropriate.
He was angry that Jr isn't good enough and lashed out at a kid that's done far more in his college career
Pretending it's not a bad look is laughable
Q's dad will ruin his future--we've seen this all before.

If he had been a B1G level talent he would have been recruited by a B1G program to begin with.
That people continue to seem surprised continues to baffle me.

Drew Mestemaker played for North Texas the last 2 years, and this season transferred into a Big 12 program. I can assure you that he is better than our QBs, and probably all QBs in the Big 10.

In addition, paying an average player huge, life-changing $$$ is only make them worse imo because they become self-satisfied, overconfident and complacent. How many times have we seen Becht take losses when scrambling outside the pocket rather than just getting rid of the ball? Yesterday he fumbled the ball inside our own 10 yard line while scrambling way outside the pocket and should have long-since thrown the ball away! The fumble and subsequent game-clinching scUM TD were utterly unnecessary and avoidable. Becht has gotten worse, not better, since coming to PSU and a big part of that was paying an average QB huge top-$$$ maket-rate money making him believe he was as good as that money suggested and violated the old adage that "a man has got to know his limitations" if he is going to reach his maximum potential. Becht doesn't play "within his limitations", he simply ignores them and plays as if he doesn't have them or needs to recognize them to make continual improvement.

BTW, who is it that brought Becht here for huge money pushing Grunk out the door???

Although the Rocco/PSU situation may have been an extreme, we will probably see more of this as team's project portal QBs that 'just need a little better coaching' ala IU/Mendoza.

I don't put it all on Rocco. Who could have projected such a pathetic running game? Losing your number one WR (a first year starter that you had few practice reps with) didn't help.

Rocco isn't a bad QB, he's an ok QB with no running game to help him out. He plays a clean game last weekend and PSU probably scrapes out a W, but with no running game to speak of this offense isn't going anywhere soon. The sad thing is PSU does get WR's open now and he's not afraid to let his WR's make a play so the passing game is better even with no ground game. The problem is we severely downgraded the running game which is going to lead to more passes than needed and hence more picks/3rd and longs which is just easier to defend.
