I enjoyed watching Grunk make throws today that Allar spent 4 years being scared to make.This...no happy feet with Grunk, his eyes stay downfield and he has a quick release.

The hatred of Allar on this board is just laughableI enjoyed watching Grunk make throws today that Allar spent 4 years being scared to make.
I don’t hate him, I would just like to have a more mobile QB. If he wins games, I will be totally on board with him.The hatred of Allar on this board is just laughable
Sadly Grunk will be hated as soon as he becomes the starter...people already starting because he doesn't run enough.

Very well-stated!It was just seven games, but seven important games ending with four consecutive wins. The team could have imploded, but Terry kept things together, and they improved under him. Terry will go down as a legend in Penn State lore. Plus, he’s all class.
We’ll upgrade on what originally committed. Mostly Charmin soft.I’m happy with what Terry has accomplished but he really would have been legendary if we would have been able to keep the core of the recruiting class intact. That was the most disappointing aspect of his tenure.
Suck my cock, Lando. PSU won the biggest game of the season behind a great performance behind Ethan. If Allar played, PSU likely loses. Thankfully we have a better quarterback behind center now. Great great win for the boys.The hatred of Allar on this board is just laughable

We can only hope. But in this current crazy college football environment, I have no expectations.I’m worried the DL room gets hard to portal but there are a bunch of young guys I like. Kemajou, Blanding, Gilliam, Wafle, Harvey. Throw in Granville, pretty strong. Maybe need a depth piece or two in the portal.
I really hope we can keep Campbell and Rojas. Those two with Tatsche and Wylie? All of a sudden that room looks good again. Need a LB in the portal though.
Young secondary played great today. Dixon is an absolute stud and must keep. Lane, Mack, and ABS at safety is a deep core.
Sleep well tonight . Buckle up for some roster moves ahead . Trust the process .

They won a scrimmageSuck my cock, Lando. PSU won the biggest game of the season behind a great performance behind Ethan. If Allar played, PSU likely loses. Thankfully we have a better quarterback behind center now. Great great win for the boys.
The supporting cast played a large role in that along with the absurd way Franklin wanted his QBs to play. Imagine blaming any pro style QB for not having success with AK's play calling. It's illogical.Hatred is a strong word.
No animosity…but Allar was a complete underachiever in every meaningful game that he played.
Well - the mark of a truly dog poop program. play and coach like complete *** once you get all the momentum. The BGJ dna won’t go away.
Don't know why we didn't use Reynolds more this year. Seems to have some elusiveness and quickness as a receiver. Then again we didn't use Dinkins as much as I thought we would either.Martin and Hayes look like they could be a very effective 1-2 punch.
I was also impressed with the OL play - 4/5 opt outs but Cousins/Shanahan/Donkoh could be a really solid core next year. I thought Boyer held up okay as well, just needs an offseason to bulk up.
If we keep Rapp/Reynolds, then the TE room is in really good hands. They complement each other much better than Dink.
Outside of Howard, we’re going to need to go portal heavy at WR. I know they liked a couple of the FR that didn’t play this year, but I’d imagine we get hit hard in that room to the portal.
That was absolutely not a scrimmageThey won a scrimmage
Grunk >>>>> Beau so it's great Beau left
Biggest game of the season lol
Sleep well tonight . Buckle up for some roster moves ahead . Trust the process .
Enjoy that morning cup of Joe . He flipped back .
How his parents didn’t name him Justin is beyond me.Just sayin.
That’s like saying a pop quiz doesn’t matter because it’s not a test…it still affects your overall grade.It 100% was
Not an accurate comp at allThat’s like saying a pop quiz doesn’t matter because it’s not a test…it still affects your overall grade.
It gives you another win for the season, so it matters some.Not an accurate comp at all
This absurd notion that winning a bowl game matters is laughable and I think you actually know that.
Only to those stuck in the 80sIt gives you another win for the season, so it matters some.
Has Becht beaten such teams?
It's one thing to bring in a QB that is proven at a high level, but from where I sit I'm not sure that Becht is some substantial improvement over Grunk and Grunk has 3 years to develop. And honestly would cost less in NIL money to retain so would allow for more resources to fill holes elsewhere.
Becht is 26-13 as a 3 year starter in the Big 12. Becht has never played defenses as good as this year’s OSU and Indiana defenses period. Look up his stats and you will see he has been very inconsistent and has had several truly lousy games. What exactly is it that apparently has you sold on Becht? He started 3 years under the new coach?Oh, so the good teams on your schedule that you have to beat? Is Grunk beating Michigan and USC next year? Is he beating OSU and Oregon? That’s the next level. Is he the next level.
I’m just saying Grunk hasn’t beaten anyone of note. Yes, he has gotten better as the year wore on. And he was excellent today - against a 7-6 team with 24 opt outs.
I hope I’ve posted here enough that people wouldn’t label me a hater or a troll. I’m just being realistic about the facts of Grunk’s season.
Was I over emotional and critical during the Iowa/OSU/Indiana stretch? Yep, I’ll admit it. But I’m still not crowning him the guy yet. If Campbell likes Becht or another kid in the portal, I’ll trust him.
Oh gee the kid threw a crucial pick in his third ever start against the best or second best defense in the country. He still had them in position to win the game if the defense doesn’t give up a TD at the end of the game. I guess Becht never threw any crucial picks in his career.He also threw a crucial pick in that game…
But you are crowning a kid who is 26-13 in the Big 12. If my math is correct that’s a .667 winning percentage which equates to an 8-4 season. Here’s a clue for you: 8-4 doesn’t get you in the Big Ten Championship game or playoffs.Yes, I guess I am.
The goal is to win the BIG and the natty. The most important position in football is the QB. Based on this year’s sample, do you think Grunk does that? He played well against bad teams and bad against good teams - those really are the facts as of today.
He’s young and has some room for growth - that’s the biggest key. If you can pull a highly rated QB from the portal and pay Grunk to sit a year or so… that may be the best path.
Im not crowning Grunk the second coming based off a win against a mediocre Clemson with 24 opt outs.
