The Lions' Pride

The quote by Joe doesn't exactly exude confidence in Jones IMO. PJ has been with the program longer than Bolden. Not ready to cast him aside since he is still very young, but you have to wonder ...

Sean, do you think its likely that he leaves?

Personally the fact that he didn't say much about the situation shows some frustration, and if Joe isn't high on him he won't see much of an opportunity until McG leaves.

I don't really care for the attitudes of Jones and Bolden. First sign of adversity, and they immediately start to abandon ship. What happened to worth ethic, and pushing to earn your spot.

Right now, it seems like McGloin is the only one who "gets it." Sure, the other two have more natural ability than him, but they're not exactly filling me with confidence about their mental strength.

Of course you don't get their attitudes. Why? Because they are seriously thinking about leaving PSU and its football program for glaring reasons. If they stay, you are fine with their attitudes, but when whispers come out that they are thinking about it, they are soft; they are babies; they are entitled; they have no work ethic.

The only reason you think McGloin gets it is because he is not considering transferring and could be the lone ranger under center for 2011. If he considered transferring, you wouldn't like his attitude either.

The thing that should not exactly be filling you with confidence is how the position at QB at PSU has turned into a joke. It can't keep high end talent and can't develop it either.

Great we will only lose two highly rated Qb to transfer rather than three

And as far as calling you whatever we want. I for one will not let you getting ANOTHER prediction wrong stop me from doing that

That's not it at all. My problem is that these kids have barely been on campus, and are thinking about (or in Bolden's case, already tried to) quitting because they weren't handed the starting job.

Adversity is a big part of life, and if your solution to it is to give up and run away, well then your life is going to be a tough one littered with loads of disappointment and unmet potential both as an athlete and as a person in general.

And your McGloin comment makes no sense. If he considered transferring I wouldn't like his attitude either? Well of course. Also, if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle. Guess what she doesn't, and McGloin hasn't. Classic case of a strawman argument.

Could you post my prediction and your response? I don't have the gumption to go back through that thread.

Ahh... then it never happened
