I am done with Drew Allar

[jeemie]

And Penn State should be too.

He has zero confidence left. His throw on the INT was tentative and shitty.

Start the Grunk Era now...it can't be any worse.

[Jizz Mop]

6 for 9, 35 yards and a pick? Sounds pretty good to me.

We will have to move up to get him come draft time.

honestly I am not sure any of the '26 hyphy college QBs are better than Howard at this point

Mendoza's not really setting the world on fire here

Mendoza's played well.

The refs have fucked IU on the defensive line movement Oregon is showing STANDING UP, twice. Also missed an obvious DPI and a few defensive holds.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

what are you seeing in Mendoza today that is better than Howard? Run ability?

Mendoza has an NFL arm. Are you watching the throws he’s making? Will Howard had elite WR’s.

Mendoza doesn’t but his arm looks fucking elite to me and he has enough athleticism to do some things with his legs.

Mendoza has a lot more arm than Will Howard.

Terrible decision on that pick six.

Absolutely terrible decision by Mendoza but now we'll find out what he and this IU team are made of.

[Gonzo]

Whoever calls penn state O plays
Should be banned from football

And btw … in case it wasn’t obvious … James Franklin is an asshat
I am not sure I have ever seen a big time program coach with less feel for the game
Maybe he is a robot

Mendoza answered his huge fuck up with a BIG SET OF BALLS.

He made up for it with a beautiful TD pass.

He sure as fuck did.

Dude can make every NFL throw with very little effort.

If he improves his deep ball, he could honestly be the first QB off the board.

[Who Dee Knee]

Well Mendoza made a boneheaded play on that INT. But I like how he rebounded with the TD drive. I like his combination of smarts and physical ability.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

Down goes Penn State, but on the happy side of things Pitt beat FSU.

Your 2nd ranked team in August is a fraud.

Tomlin of Toftrees looks upset he might have to walk away with 52 million.

Maybe the Rooneys will hire him.

[jeemie]

And Drew Allar's college career comes to an inglorious end.

His pro career is likely up in smoke as well.

I hope he's getting a good degree.

BTW an example of why NIL is right and ethical despite all the protestations.

[CKSteeler]

Rather timely injury. Conspiracy theorist in me wants to say...too timely.

Maybe but I saw the tackle.

His knee was folded.

no conspiracy, just accidents that suck

I'm oddly taking the death of Diane Keaton kind of hard, she was a big part of my teen experience

Love and Death may be one of the best female comedic performances ever

If Auburn went 4-17 against Alabama and LSU what would happen to the coach?

Speaking of which, what is Gus Malzahn up to these days?

[CzechSteeler]

OC at Florida State.

Indeed.

Allar at least has $4 million to help bridge the gap between his ruined football career and finding his life's work.

Although if he had any morals at all, James Franklin would toss in some of his buyout money as recompense for ruining his career.

I've googled her multiple times and I STILL don't know who she was

Not even after the Godfather 3 abortion of a movie? First two were gems…3rd one awful. It could have turned into Friday the 13th without that abortion.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

"I never forgave that bitch for aborting Michael Corleone’s son."

She was sloppy seconds after the hottie in Sicily.

But she played the WASP role perfectly.

In Love and Death, she gave one of the best female comic performances I've ever seen.

For me, I'm tired of hearing big arm and run ability! How is Mendoza between the ears? I watched Howard with Gruden and came away believing that Howard has the mental smarts to read the D at an elite level. That's what I want right there! But that's just me.

Mendoza is on an IU team with 0 5 star players and only 4 4 star players. He has 17 TD passes and 2 picks. Has IU ranked 3rd. Will Howard had elite talent at every position at OSU (Jeremiah Smith and have you seen what Egbuka is doing this year? Carnell Tate might be a top 5 pick this year and he was Howard’s 3rd receiver.)

Will Howard might end up being the guy in Pittsburgh but he lasted until the 6th round for a reason. He has accuracy issues and his arm is suspect. I like the kid. I hope he gets a chance next year but if Fernando Mendoza is sitting there when the Steelers pick, they’d be goddamn fools to pass on him.

Great accuracy. Big time arm and underrated athleticism.

I’ve also never seen Mendoza look as bad as Howard looked last year, in Columbus, vs a bad Michigan team.

I’ll go out on a limb and say you never saw Mendoza play a single game at Cal or even knew who he was before this year.

I saw him at Cal. He looked okay but that team wasn't very good. Dude obviously needed coaching and boy is he getting it.

If Mendoza has no upside, why was he the #4 QB available in the portal (#22 best player overall in the portal) and why did Curt Cignetti want him so bad? Why is he a Heisman favorite now?

I mean, I get it. You don't like Mendoza's game. I do. A lot. A whole fucking lot. Playa just turned 21 years old too. Hmmm....... 6'5", 225 too with a frame to easily add another 10 lbs or more.

All we can do is see how it plays out and where Mendoza is drafted and how he does at the next level.

Looking like a pretty good college QB though. As Larry David would say; "pretty, pretty good."

Oh also, can you point out any inaccuracies in my post above comparing Will Howard and Fernando Mendoza? Specific inaccuracies.

Thanks in advance.
