I found Franklins answers to some tuff questions a little peculiar on where his loyalties/dedication lies. I was a little shocked that he didn't say that he was loyal to the university and I think he went out of his way to avoid saying that. Did I read him wrong?

Didn't see it but he's only loyal to himself--that's always been true
Not sure that I agree. No doubt he’s played the game to better his situation along the way, but he’s been a solid ambassador for the university as well. Franklin’s fault - and it’s a big one - is his lack of game preparation. He does a nice job with a lot of his other HC responsibilities (if we’re being fair).

We can definitely agree to disagree here--I don't believe Franklin has done anything that wasn't self-serving.
I also don't blame him for that--he's not required to do anything other than what's best for him.

I’m surprised Lando is still posting. Figured they would be rushing to be with Allar and hug him.

Please note my dig is at Lando, not Allar. Hate that the young man got seriously injured.
Yes, my ability not to blindly hate the QB is a problem--I know actually analyzing things is tough for many people.

He will never, ever make it as a pro QB. Have you accepted that yet?
People said that about Brady and countless others. Like with most QBs it will be about the situation he ends up in and how he handles it. Wasting 4 years at Penn State didn't help...

He also ran a pro style offense and still fell to the 6 round.
Meanwhile Allar's running zone read and gimmick plays so AK can feel smart.
Again Allar should have left. His mistake. He hurt himself by being loyal.
Either way, you have to have pocket presence, you have to be able to see the field, and you have to be able to throw the ball accurately. He can't do those things

He does have presence and sees the field. He's also very accurate--like the one throw today people were complaining about was because the WR didn't sit down in the soft spot of the zone--the throw was where it should have been the receiver was not.
Allar issue wasn't his skillset--it was the skillset in a scheme that didn't work with the players we have. Just like Kaytron Allen might be the leading rusher in the country elsewhere and Singleton would be a slot receiver.

Allar is an average QB. He can't throw his WR's open. He still throws off his back foot at times with no pressure which causes him to over throw targets. He makes very questionable decisions on the field. Hate that he got hurt, he seems like a good kid who really enjoys PSU. Beau Pribula was a better fit for AK offense. Lots of bad decisions, Allar should have left PSU when AK was hired. Beau should have stayed and started. AK offense is built off a RPO and a very mobile QB who pressures the defensive edges

My heads hurts. How can't he throw his WRs open? All QBs throw off their back foot. Watch games the rest of the evening. He rarely overthrows people. Name a QB that doesn't make any questionable decisions?
You don't hate that he got hurt--you got what you wanted. Pretending otherwise is insincere.
We do agree on something--Allar should have left. But really CJF should have a hired a coach capable of coaching his starting QB. Beau wasn't the answer though. He's a turnover machine.

No. The problem is you have no knowledge of competitive sports - especially football. And you are consistently wrong with your predictions and insight. Great comic relief for everyone though!
Don't even know how to begin to tell you how wrong you are here but...some here know just how dumb this comment is

Your predictions are all captured…and they are mostly wrong… and when they are wrong , you qualify them: “well it’s the scheme, or #13 LB got hurt and I didn’t know it would affect the team, there was a meteor storm, my Mom ate my homework!” This means thou were right all along.

Comic relief!!

There's no "qualifying" them. I was wrong because I underestimated the impact of Rojas. That's on me
None of us get everything right--but that also goes to your belief Allar has to be perfect

I only hoped that Allar would be good. He was not. It’s not the “scheme” or anything else. Even amatuers can see it. If you watch a few games and listen to those who know the game, you may learn a thing or two in a year or three.

False, that's not what you hoped
It's 100% the scheme--and, yes, ametuers should see that which proves how clueless you are
You aren't comprehending what you're seeing but I've always not that about you. It would take you decades to get a clue. You literally waste your time watching football.
