Yeah, but his QB rating wasn't that far off of AJ's. Clearly not the runner AJ was - but he was a Freshman and still learning. And he seemed to be more accurate passing. Are we basing our woes on AJ's Spring football results? And I agree, I don't care if anyone gets mad if they get beat out for a starting job. Where are we getting the info that he's AJ 2.0? What is all that based on? HIs list of schools doesn't seem all that impressive (ha!, we're on that list). Again, not arguing - I just was curious re: the basis of his ability. As a side note, both AJ and Rivers would probably have looked a bit better surrounded by the talent PSU has.
I do not mind the questions.
1. I am not going to act like I know how the QBR is calculated. But I would guess that it doesn't account for 700+ rushing yards accurately if AJs was close to MJs. MJ is def a better passer, but that was a very low bar. MJ is no where near the runner that we need in this offense with this current roster.
2. MJ has some off the field issues he needs to get straightened up if he even wants to dress next year. That should not be happening
3. Yes the information is based off this year's Spring.
4. Watch Steven's highlights. It is clear he has a strong arm (no indication on accuracy) and is a powerful runner. He looks like AJ 2.0
5. Jeremy Werner show - Steven's was supposed to be the starter but cannot stay healthy enough to be guaranteed the starting role. If he is good enough to start at Penn State, he is good enough to start here.
I agree MJ would look a lot better with talent around him. But we don't have that luxury yet.
