The Lions' Pride

You take away his best WR, but you also install a brand new offense that is less predictable. How many times in the last decade did a kid from the other team state we knew what PSU was going to do based on formation. 4-5 times that I can remember. The ceiling line retired last year BTW just in case you missed it, it's a dead term. A new offense, new QB coach, and OC can make a difference. That goes for all 3 QB's up there currently. The flip side to that is there will be a learning curve for the new system, but to say he can't get better is just a cliche accepted by those unhappy with MM. I can basically state PJ will never get it because he can't beat out MM...same exact logic there. If he can't beat out MM, how can you expect him to really do anything at the college level?

This is not the same scheme. It's not the same HC. Nothing about this offense will be the same, but the prophets here know exactly what will happen. I guess there is no need for some to watch PSU this fall. You apparently know who MM/PSU can beat, so why waste your time. We have no idea how this season will unfold for better or worse. It's fine to have an opinion, but try to realize at this point in time it's a completely blind guess by anyone. BOB stated he didn't show off anything from his offense in the BW game, so we don't know anything yet on that side of the ball.

LaJolla, you have to admit the likelihood of McGloin getting significantly better is extremely low. The history of the NFL is littered with bad QB's being bad despite new offensive staffs and schemes. The exceptions to the rule, like Alex Smith last year, are few and far between. And those guys all have good coaching and nothing else, like school, to distract them from football.

As far as the "if the others couldn't beat him out, they must not be as good" argument: Trent Green beat out Kurt Warner. If Green, never got injured, it's quite possible we never hear about Warner, who will likely make the Hall of Fame. Extreme example but the points are bad incumbents tend to stay bad and you never really know what a backup is capable of until they're given a chance.

Heres the Alabama post game where he was a staggering 1-10 for 0 yards.

We. We. We. We. We.

Again Heel, your grasping at straws. In the first interview he actually goes out of his way to emphasize that dropped passes happen and didnt cost them the game and that Andrew's fumble didnt cost them the game. As reporter's do, they ask questions to provoke a response that will make headlines, and they got none. If you listen to the questions being asked, his answers make perfect sense "we". He has no reason to say "I lost the game"

In the second interview he was asked questions specifically about a play he made....why would he say "we"? One question was regarding stnk stepping on Pannell who fell into McGloin and they asked what happened on the play. What do you want him to say, De'Onte fell into us and we pushed him off our leg and...etc etc.

I think your examples are poor. Just a difference in opinion I guess, obviously you have an opinion on Matt and I have another, its obvious we will argue these points and read things different ways. But I dont think those interviews support your claim at all.
