FC/OT: QB Controversy at Penn State?
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
Meaningless. Players have received this designation and have never been heard of again.
unless he goes down with injury i can't see allar not being the #1 guy come fall
not really concerned about this.

You need an experienced back up so in order to keep them out of the portal you give them little awards like this and make sure they get enough NIL $
Allar has NIL money and the rest are competing for skee-ball tickets
I hope beau gets MEANINGFUL series, not mop up duty. The O will look different every series
I don't disagree; just noticed many beat writers picking up on this tidbit and promoting it heavily on social media. Obvious agenda is obvious....
They have been doing this for years. How are supposed fans of the program thinking this is worth noting when it comes to the starters? Not saying you but the tweet itself I guess is to stir some pot???
Two guesses as to who is promoting this most.....first one doesn't count.
Taylor Swift or Kaitlyn Clark? I hear they are both evil.
Surprised you didn't get this; Taylor Swift has maybe a tweet or two....but Cory Giger really putting this out there.
I think he will. He has shown enough to get meaningful snaps and the new OC seems more innovative than our previous OC.
He had another hit piece the other day as well on the whole Jaypa stunt last week. Not really surprised. Some guys need to stir it to stay relevant.
Not necessarily an agenda. Clicks mean money. You got to follow up on every single thing.
It's a job where you constantly have to hustle. Like real estate and influencing. You always need that next thing for clicks and engagement. We know what works best for that.
I mean, sure - but he hasn't said anything about the other guys who are getting the award for their positions (I don't have the graphic but there is one).
It was obvious to me that Allar had trouble with the pressure brought by teams with superior defenses. He really needs to find a way to slow the game in his head.
It was also obvious to me that his WRs didn't help him by getting separation and catching passes in traffic.
The play calling didn't help either. Not enough high percentage quick hitters or screens to help him gain confidence.
Hopefully the new OC & Fleming can help.

If anyone sees a skee ball machine that redeems bacon, please post the location here. I'd like to try it out.Allar has NIL money and the rest are competing for skee-ball tickets
With the exception of the Iowa game our quarterback play against ranked teams was awful. Not mediocre, it was awful.
Yes, they got no help from the wideouts. That was not the only reason the QB play was medocre
I would imagine the stats would show Allar rarely threw the ball past the down markers. A quick look at the B1G stats show Allars ypc was no better than 5th or 6th among starting quarterbacks.
I do not doubt that Allar is the best passer we have, but the separation between him and Pribula as an overall quarterback is not as wide as we might expect. I’m not saying Allar should not start, but he has to get better to keep his job secure. He has not shown he is good enough to be a top tier starter in the B1G. He still has to earn that.

Others may not want to hear this, but very well said.
4 dimensional checkers? Cuz i heard that's a thing.It’s the QBs competing at chess. Allar is playing checkers.
Have you seen them practice? There is a big difference between DA and BP passing ability. BP is less accurate and way weaker arm
Reminds me of what Bruce Clark said after Penn State beat Maryland years ago. Penn State was actually the underdog. All the pre-game hype centered on the weight lifting prowess of Maryland and how strong their players were. After Penn State won fairly comfortably and he was asked about the Maryland team Clark said what were we going to do today lift weights or play football?
So the quarterback play was awful with the exception of Iowa huh? You must have missed the Maryland and Michigan State games huh?
PSU led the B1G in scoring last year and I think he threw 2 INT's to 25 or so TD's while completing just under 60% in his first year starting. Now I know some fans can only talk about or remember the losses, but for a first year starter he did pretty well. Does he still have some holes in his game where he needs to make progress this year...absolutely. Take some more chances up top, stop rushing throws...take that last 1/4 of a second to allow the WR to get open knowing you're going to get hit. Maybe take off a bit more if you see it or handle the pressure a bit better but overall he was very solid this year. As fans all we can do is hope he does progress more this year and if that occurs good things should follow.
Hardly in the category of ranked teams. Those two were the quintessential type of opponent that Allar, and for that matter the team in general, largely pad their stats/win total with. Iowa was an outlier. Bring any other competitive team, and the hype is exposed.
The only ranked teams we played besides IA were OSU and UM who had top defenses.
Part of the reason Allar's ypc was low is because our WRs couldn't get deep and our best pass catchers were TEs. I'm not letting Allar off the hook. I'm just saying there were other factors.
The PSU QB "controversy" exists only on X , message boards and in the minds of fanboys.
BWICAC needs to make some "coaching changes." In January '22 they declared, "Allar needs to be named the starter right now!" Now they hype a "QB controversy?" I wonder how many winter workout stickers Tom Brady won?
It's great to know you have a capable backup should #1 get hurt. In the meantime a wrinkle here and there is fine.
Two QBs is never a winning plan. Kinda like the BWICAC and the actual coaches.....only one is relative
and its not the BWICAC.
