That's your thing. "I disagree"

You are reaching hard here with no evidence. Seen it in person and its been reported by many that have that Mayden is at least as good of a passer as KT right now. I love KT. Im pulling for him but Stevens is probably better and he will start if he comes here. KT has done everything right and has done nothing but win, but the best player has to play. If that's KT then great, but there's a reason Moorhead is taking Stevens and its not bc he doesnt like KT.
Not to mention that we do have the room, anybody that is against taking Stevens is either A. Moorhead hater or B. Willfully ignorant
The fact that Moorhead wouldn't even give KT one series at LSU, one of the worst QB'd games I've ever seen at MSU, tells me a lot about the confidence Moorhead has in KT. That being said, I don't know enough about Stevens to know if he would be better than KT or not but I'm trusting that JoMo does.
Love how you totally disregard KT's running ability. How many rushing TDs he got again? Yards? Etc... and no I don't want Stevens cause it'll capsize our entire built up Qb depth once everyone else bolts and were left holding our dicks 6 months from now.
The only one that would possibly bolt is KT and it would be understandable. Where did I say KT couldnt run the ball? He can run it, but he is struggling to throw it. How many times have we been down the road of not being able to throw the football at all? Keeping the status quo will result in that happening again in 2019.
Stevens is a 1 year player and will bridge the gap for Will Rogers or Shrader. My money is on Rogers.
How the hell can you say that McSorley and Fitz are in the same ballpark? McSorley is a FAR better QB. And that?s nothing against Nick. I will go to bat for Nick any day of the week because he put it on the line every time he put on that jersey, but with Trace McSorley as QB last year we are an 11 win team
Dak completed 62% as a redshirt freshman. KT is behind where Dak was after 2.5 years here. That doesn't necessarily mean he can't get there, but to say he's on pace is silly, especially when KT's lesser stats came against Sirmon and FCS.
McSorley did beat him out, barely. And he has waited for his turn. Where are you getting the other QB was named the starter this season? Stevens was injured and it was still an open competition. Penn St believed he would be the starter this fall but there are issues with how all of that was handled, especially his injury.
Lol you know who has a great completion %? Sam Bradford. When did that guy win anything in the NFL? Completion % ain't the end all be all. KT threw away 6-8 passes vs SFA. Like intentionally threw the ball out of bounds. That kills your completion % but it doesn't get you sacked and it doesn't get you picked. He also threw for like 360 yards but none of y'all ever mention that only "coMplTion peRcEnTage"

I wouldn't bank on Stevens being some prolific passer. The risk isn't worth the reward here. He's only got one year left, he's not gonna be that much better throwing it than KT and he's at very best equal to KT running it. KT has two years left and you run the risk of chemistry issues within the locker room if you bring in Stevens and he expects to start immediately without earning it.
No he didn’t. Watch every pass. Even some of his big completions that would have been picked or knocked down in the league. Oh and we play college ball. Bradford won a lot in college. Including the Heisman. Ridiculous comp.

So are you going to go ahead and admit that you think you know more about our qb situation than Joe moorhead? Instead of calling me a genespage homer, Just tell the world that you are arrogant enough to see a player 3 times in 3 years against terrible competition, watch no practices in 2 years, and know that we should not be getting a transfer qb to take his spot. Come on. Tell us. You have a quarter of the information and run your mouth like you have any sort of clue. There is a difference in giving an opinion on our qb situation and stating things matter of factly like you are doing with no evidence to back anything up. This Stevens kid may suck. I have no clue. I do not pretend to have all of the answers when I do not have all of the info though.
And no, we would have won the Egg Bowl if we would have not had 5 turnovers. Blaming that on the defense is more ignorance. When you give a team 5 extra possessions, your defense is going to crack.
High level mumbo jumbo? Sorry you feel that way, you'd understand it when you have no choice but to understand it. Since when is a sophomore expected to beat out Fitzgerald (a top 5 all-time MSU QB)? Nobody was beating out legacy Fitz. Sophomore Dak woulda sat behind senior Fitz. Moorhead was always going to start Fitz no matter who was the backup. Remember him calling him and telling him to clear out space for the Heisman?
Obsessing over completion % is so damn stupid. A QB can complete bubble screens all day long and have a glorious completion % while also never winning anything.
A high completion % does not make someone a good quarterback. A completion % under 50 % does make someone a shitty quarterback though, which is the entire point.
I dont get what's so hard to understand...Moorhead has seen and called plays for both. Practiced and played with them more than anyone on this board or in the fanbase ever will, EVER yet you still pounding the table we shouldnt take Stevens. If we are taking him its bc Moorhead knows he can at the very least make it a competition. Competition will make everyone better. And no its not bc Moorhead doesnt like KT. Its a good move for both parties if we take him. If KT decides that he wants to leave we should wish him the best and be grateful he won us some games and was a great representative of the program
Ha, you must be smoking some prime shit. This just popping into you head. Joe would start the best, why not? Every one and their Brother said Fitz was miles ahead of KT. Not even close, but for some reason you seem to be all knowing. Are you a legend in your own mind.
That means Moorhead is potentially losing two years of a starting QB if KT transfers to add one year of maybe a slightly better player. Maybe. Stevens hasn't been in Moorhead's QB room for 18 months now while KT has been neck deep in it since Joe arrived. I actually seriously doubt Stevens is better than KT at running Joe's offense right now. If he is then KT has just been flat out lazy at learning the system and working on his accuracy and I don't believe that's the case for either.
Penn State didn't change offenses when he left. If KT leaves, he leaves. Then we go get another QB. But you can't assume that he is going to leave especially with a coach that is known for playing two QB's and KT not really having a ton of options unless he is way ahead academically that I am aware of.
The perfect scenario would be that Stevens is actually better than KT right now and helps us more this next year while KT redshirts and then KT ends up better off for it the next two years as our starter. That's an awfully big pride pill that KT would have to swallow but if that's how this all goes down than I could be on board for that. I am just anxious to see KT prove to everyone he's as good as I think he is.
good post ree lardo. KT need to swallow the pride but he better get on his horse cuz shrader and mayben are a coming on strong
We bring in Stevens- I'd transfer to LSU and win that job in 2020 if I was KT
