That's probably a fact. Lol

 

[Sett1997]

They would be on the bench behind "Threetras and out too." Lol

Don't quit your day job.

 

[Sett1997]

Don't quit your day job.

You convinced Petras is better than the first two qb's off the bench for OSU?
If so, you probably shouldn't quit your day job. Lol

No, I just think you're bad at trying to be funny.

 

[dadster]

So comforting to a Hawkeye fan.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

I don’t think vedral is that bad

[SDHawkDoc]

Petras at 11. So they're predicting improvement from him. That's nice.

 

[Sett1997]

No, I just think you're bad at trying to be funny.

Wasn't trying to be, stated a fact. The lol was sarcasm.
Our qb situation is definitely not funny.

“Threetras and out” was the dumbest and worst attempt at humor I’ve ever seen.

And nowhere in this thread have you stated a fact.

Otherwise ur doing great.

Message boards are mostly opinions genius. The two OSU backups riding the pine behind Threetras is a fact.
They would be.

You’re still not funny and still don’t know what a fact is.

Just stop.

 

[Sett1997]

Just stop.

I'll stop because it's a pointless conversation.
You started the personal attack, keep that in mind.

 

[MeetTheFerentz]

I'll stop

Finally you typed something worthwhile.

 

[Sett1997]

We see who the child is in the room.
Go to bed Mrs. Ferentz.

[farina1]

Those two kids were pretty impressive for true freshmen. They could possibly be 5 and six on that list. Now we know why NIL Ewers transferred.

 

[HawkLogic]

You’re still not funny and still don’t know what a fact is.

Just stop.

Threetras is smarter than thinking Petras is a worthy starter

 

[Hawktagonapus]

Petras at 11. So they're predicting improvement from him. That's nice.

I take it you didn't watch much of Rutgers, Northwestern, or Illinois.

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

So an unnamed QB at Michigan is #5?

Okay.

 

[Hwk-I-St8]

Threetras is smarter than thinking Petras is a worthy starter

You can think "Threetras" is stupid and still not be a fan of Petras. Some people try to hard to come up with demeaning names or whatever. I'll laugh if it's clever and well-done. Threetras is neither.

 

[Frosty7130]

Petras has not done anything deserving of childish name-calling, regardless of on-the-field performance. That's akin to people booing Adam Shada on senior day.

 

[David1979]

I would have Clifford higher up. Tualia sucks. He is way too high. But overall that is just a bad bunch of QBs.

I would disagree regarding O'Connell of Purdue. That dude is the most accurate passer I have seen in a long time in the B1G. We will struggle to control him next year even without Bell. The guy can play the QB position.

 

[wolve1972]

2 and 3 are probably on the osu bench lol

Probably but that OSU offense will be - more than likely - the best in the country in 2022. It's their crappy defense that has caused them all of their problems in 2020 and 2021. Fix that and watch out

 

[BoilerN]

Be curious to see if O'Connell can make it in the NFL. Obviously not saying he is Drew Brees, but I feel like he could be a similar style player. Thing that will hurt him is his mobility. Quality backup I presume? If David Blough can make it as an NFL backup....

For as good as O'Connell is, Purdue fans are equally excited for their incoming freshman.

 

[IACub]

I remember when Mertz came out to replace a hurt Jack Coan and hit like his first 19 passes and looked like Joe Montana. Now not so much. Yet still better than what we got.

 

[obfuscating]

Can't really do worse.

Purdue will have yet another WR that torches us...

1. Stroud, agreed

The next group of 4 (2 thru 5)
- Oconnell, Thorne, McNamara, Clifford

A little separation to the next Group (6 thru 9/10)
- Tua, Morgan, Mertz, Petras/Alex.

A little more separation to the final group of 6.
- Bazalek, Thompson/Purdy, Devito, Vedral, Hilinski

Petras is to low. Where is Alex? Tua is to high. Nebraska 8/9, really?

I'd take O'Connell over the other 3 in his group and it isn't close.

I know that mobility is a concern for Oconnell. What is the returning o-line look like for PU?

Verdal-RU is no longer the starter at Rutgers.

 

[BoilerN]

Shouldn't be worse. Lose their LT (didn't play in bowl) and RG. Basically played 6 guys all year. Lose two. Brought in a grad transfer I think? Plus 2 freshman they played vs Tennessee they really like.

I don't really think it drops off to where the offense takes a step back. I'd guess the oline is actually a tick better with more experience. Maybe that's gold colored glasses though.
