Trebor Pena transferring to PSU

I don’t begrudge him leaving but I certainly don’t understand why anyone would defend him. He’s a mercenary. He left. Screw him. He’s the enemy now.
Completely agree. I put him in my Johnny Damon level of "he left he sux" now mentality. They are professionals now. Let the vitriol fly if they leave the coop. Just like when we get mercenaries. I assume their prior program hates them for coming to SU.
 
I don't get why people get upset when fans rip on players that are on other teams. It's sports. It's what's we're supposed to do. And when a player leaves us for a team we fans hate, the reaction should be stronger. Sure, in the past you could argue these are just college kids, but not anymore. Now they're pros, and they get to have everything that comes with that fame and money. "Don't criticize a guy for doing what was best for him." Why not? He's not family or a friend. I root for my team. If you jilt my team or oppose them, I will root against you.

That being said. Thank you, Trebor. You had a heck of a year last year, and when you bolted, it allowed Fran to upgrade with Cook.
Yeah, I don't hold any personal animosity for these guys. Like I always say, I don't begrudge them for working the system to their benefit.

But the old "I'll root for them" nonsense is a relic of a dead past. Sports wise, screw 'em.
 
Meanwhile Trebor Pena was Penn States leading receiver last night with 19 yards.😂😂😂😂 “he made the right choice” you guys are something else lol .
I hope he ends up like Bubbles from The Wire.

Yeah he might have got 20 yards yesterday if he had stayed.Probably a little lighter in the bank account though.

More like 6 for 66 and nearly 500 yards for the season. That’s more than double what he has now … so yeah much like rooting for Rutgers it’s a dumb $)&*%^ decision.

I’m sure he tosses and turns thinking about how he messed up and that Ricki Collins could of been throwing him the ball.Geeez!

Well if he is making less and not putting up numbers he should be but I’m sure you function well without a conscious so it would be easy for you to sleep . You leave a notoriously pass happy offense for a team that couldn’t complete a pass to a WR in a bowl game. Great choice though because they are top 10 … oh wait. And to top it off they have 93 passing yards against Iowa LOL. I’m gonna go back and pour over all that film of Pena making catches at PSU …

Why would you think he is making less? Didn’t Fran tell him to leave because he wasn’t going to give him the kind of money he was being offered?

What he asked for and what he received can be two different things. It has been mentioned on this board by insiders that he didn’t get what he thought he would. So you think PSU coughed up $2 million? LOL … wow. If he did have a firm offer why the Miami trip as well? His plan blew up in his face and here we are.

Get a grip Chief, nobody said anything about 2 million. Fran said he couldn’t pay what he was being offered and he needed to move on.

That's what happened with Maraad Watson. Pena was set to get 800k from Cuse, asked for more and got told to pound sand, and got 300k from State Penn. He took a half million dollar pay cut to be be trash in State College... Watson got 2 mil from Tejas

He was probably going to be a UDFA after he graduated from Syracuse and given the utter lack of offense at PSU, will probably still be an UDFA. The serendipity of NFL roster formation will determine whether he has a pro career or not. I appreciate his efforts at SU but he has been 100% replaced by Johntay Cook.

One positive thing to say about Pena is he is a great evaluator of QBs. Literally left town after 15 practices with Rickie Collins.

Not so great a read on either Allar, the PSU QB#2, or the PSU O.C. though.

So he took 500k pay cut to goto a worse QB situation... not sure he's a great anything evaluator on that evidence.

In his defense Miami (fl) "allegedly" had been kicking the tires on him and pulled the rug out from underneath him which left him scrambling for options. A year in Coral Gables is an understandable move despite Beck also being dog plop.

Regardless, he gambled and lost. Doesn't make him a bad person, just could have been handled better.

That decision will haunt him for the rest of his life. If he had a great senior year at Cuse he could have became a mid round pick at worse but now he will be lucky to be a udfa and pray he makes the practice squad on some team lol.

It’s ok he is an RU fan … not too bright.

He was always going to be an UDFA. Look at the really good WRs we've had that didn't get drafted. He's not better than them and he doesn't have eye catching athleticism.
 
18 months ago he was a nice kick returner who was lightly recruited and always injured and who half of us thought was named "Trevor." He had a hell of a season with McCord last year. Realized his window to get paid was short and Rickie Collins sucked. Tried to chase money and it blew up on him. Not many other Dino recruits earned themselves a 63 page post.
