The Lions' Pride

I think his biggest failure as a leader is the inability of the Offense to sustain drives, thus leaving too many points on the field and off of the scoreboard.

His stats are good after 4 games. I believe he needs to maintain a +60% completion average and as long as his TD/INT ratio remains the same we'll be alright against this years' B1G opponents.

Keep in mind that in the first two losses the D gave up 18/20 3rd-down conversions to the opponents in the 2nd half alone! Not to mention Ficken's poor performance against VA. This team very well could be 4-0.

The next 3 weeks we beat Ill and Iowas. NW game is a toss up, but it's homecoming. So like our chances.

Kid is playing within him self and the system, that's all I could ask for of him. He's improved a great deal in minimal time.

Can't be that he needed a real QB coach, could it?

I don't think it's anything more complicated than McGloin playing in a better system. Same quarterback, better system. He wasn't as bad as many thought last year, not sure he's as good as some think this year. Saturday was encouraging in many aspects, thought it was O'Brien's best game of the year by far, and McGloin looked like he was seeing the field better and making better reads. This week's game will tell us a lot more.

Yep. I think the people gushing are comparing it to what was there before (even if some don't recognize that). Kid has made huge strides. Hopefully it continues.

No, I think some have simply seen this before from him and are being cautiously optimistic. He's had great games before against average to below average defenses. We've seen him get WAY too overconfident then and his play eventually reflected that overconfidence. He shows signs of that now (such as the holding fingers up for HIS TD passes), so it worries some of us what will happen when he does have those games again.

He's in a very good system right now that spreads the ball around...he's played some bad defenses at the same time.....but he has done well within that system so far. Credit to him. It doesn't make us bad fans because we are still questioning what he will do the rest of the year.

I still have my doubts this kid will be a great leader when things go bad in big ten play, if they do. He's always been a rah rah guy in good times. Some of us simply don't want to drink the kool-aid at this point just yet.

And to hear that announcer suggest MM will have a chance with an NFL roster next year.....O. M. G.

you a "new-era" alt?

MM is a rehabilitated QB under BO'B's system. He is not doubt the most improved player on the PSU squad year over year.

He also has the biggest ego of any PSU FB player that I have ever seen in my lifetime. I remember the Scott Fitzkee "strut" and he has nothing over MM!

At the end of the day, I'm happy for Moxie's improvement, but the better he gets, the worse he is personally. He's become such an arrogant turd that he's hardly tolerable by the fan base.

Give credit where credit is due. He has never played better than under BOB. He has limitations, but he has never been more productive. Can't wait to see what BOB can do with a qb with a higher skill set.

And when he does we know you'll be here blaming someone else and excusing whatever me-first, embarrassing antics result.
