Trebor Pena transferring to PSU

[wfschrec]

I came on this thread looking to read how Drew Allar is the next Josh Allen. That’s what my brother in law keeps telling me and says Pena made the right decision.

Well at least he is an in-law … can’t blame the stupidity on genetics.

While I disagree about him not being a G5 calibre QB or even an eventual P4 level starter, to be fair...

-HS ratings are hard given the level of competition.
-HS ratings are often based on potential.
-His HS evaluations identified many of the same issues we are seeing now. He hasn't overcome them and met his potential.
-LSU recruited over him pretty quickly.
-Fran was in a big QB hole and needed to take a shot.
-Fran decided he needed Angeli.


I think at this point he is a project. If this were the 90s where people didn't xfer out and Angeli did not get hurt, I would still have hope that he would develop enough to be QB1 in 2027. But in today's world he is not likely to still be here in 2027. So all that really matters is what he can offer us today, and not tomorrow.

1. He’s started one game.
2. Everybody recruits over everybody

No actually, you heard wrong.

He actually was set to come back (provided his waiver was approved, which was uncertain and arguably unlikely), and Fran told him that he had an opportunity to be drafted and he needed to go (since the approval of his waiver was uncertain).

I added some additional context to get closer to reality, assuming he wanted to stay. Because people saying he should have stayed never address the waiver issue.

It wouldn’t shock me if he wanted to gamble and hope the waiver got approved, but he got advice that was an incredibly bad idea. But “He should have assumed the waiver was going to be approved and stayed!” is substantially different than what people keep saying.

Sure, I’ll trust my source on this one

Let’s just say, they knew the result of the waiver

He knew Collins was going to hurt his nfl value.

and Drew Allar isn’t?
