No way Hack gets drafted.
- Thread starter RU205
- Start date
His O line sucks. This kid can make the NFL throws. Their coach doesn't have an O to use him.
Come on guys...you let PSU off the hook last year...time to beat those effers this year.
Can't remember what analyst said it after the game but said that Hackenberg didn't have a problem making any decisions or throws his freshmen hat under O'Brien. Has had trouble in the "Franklin" offense. O'Brien runs a pro offense Franklin not so much. He will be drafted. Kid has a cannon just going theough the same thing Savage did. Can't throw when your on your back and not comfortable with the new offense
Plenty of times where he has time to throw and still lays out a terrible decision. His arm strength and all that isn't in question, it's his decision making and ability to make throws under pressure - which are obviously huge factors when determining how good a qb is.
Don't say that to soon ...it's their O-line that sucks and I certainly hope it's still sucks until the day after we beat them .
Saquon Barkley with 1 carry for 1 yard. Blacknall didn't even make the box score. Mangiro and Mahon, both Morris County guys who didn't give RU the time of day, looked like they belong at Montclair State instead of Penn State. All drank the Franklin Kool-Aid...
THANK YOU. jeez I've been saying this all last season. This is why I never understood the o-line excuse. On the occasions that he had time he would still blow plays consistently. If he hasn't improved it's only a matter of time before he gets completely exposed.
See David Carr on how a bad Oline can ruin your career, even if you were once good.
He's been traumatized.
RU fans don't need to look past our own team history. Savage was destroyed, in large part, by a poor offensive line and a ridiculous system. He made it to the NFL anyway and so will Hackenberg.
Mike Teel got drafted. Ryan Nassib got drafted. Tom Savage got drafted. Baring injury Hack will get drafted
He will be a solid pro. Can make all the throws. If they have a running qb, they might want to try him. Tom Brady wouldn't thrive in that offense.
Problem is, I bet some assurances were made to the kid for him not to transfer. Problem is, he is regressing to the point that it will take a long time to come out if it. Clearly his stock position is getting hurt by playing there.

Hackenburg won't be #1. He's not the best draft prospect QB in the B1G East, Conor Cook and Cardale Jones are better.
That OL will certainly be a challenge for his mental makeup if he continues to get hit this often.
#1 pick? LOL. I hope the Eagles take him first overall. He can't read a college D and you think he is going to be able to read NFL Ds?? He has regressed significantly and defensive coordinators have figured out what to do against him.
It reminds me of rookie baseball players that make it to the majors and hit a few HRs in the first week. Everyone declares them stars until pitching coaches figure out what pitches they can't hit and they fizzle out.

He had a really bad day. He'll have some good ones before the season is over. He'll get drafted, but unlikely to be in the first half of the first round. Seems to me to be the kind of a guy who gels after 3-4 years in the NFL.
I don't see him being anything special but he sure does have the measurables and played well with guys around him as a Frosh. He will get drafted by a team like Atlanta or KC who can develop him as a backup behind the starter for a few seasons and then they'll see what they got.
It's clear that he has NFL talent. It's equally clear that he's playing behind a really bad o-line that's about as solid as 5 sticks of butter melting in the sun.
Their OL looks bad, but maybe Temple is also that good defensively.
Hack has no feel for the pocket and steps directly into the pass rush, he does his OL no favors.

Their best pass rusher was out that game, most of the guys that were getting sacks were not known to get sacks.
In case you were wondering...
Three points:
-Going into the season, he was projected as the first QB going in the draft.
- Savage went in the 3rd round even with all his tribulations
- Hack is as good as Savage was, if not better; hence this thread is stupid

I don't base my opinions on other peoples projections. If we are only going by projections, RU wouldn't have gone to or won a bowl game last year and they will only have 4 wins this year. Projections are not reality.
I am basing this on his level of play. He can't extend a play, misses open receivers and can't read defenses. Based on what I saw from him this week and last year he is not an NFL quality QB.
This season might knock him out of the Top 10 picks in the 1st round, but he'll still go in the 1st. Nobody would look good playing behind that OL.
Talk about overhyped. Just goes to show stars don't mean everything.
Kid should have decomitted from PSU when he had the chance. Playing there, especially under Franklin has hurt his development big time. He'll get drafted based on measureables but he'll never be a #1 QB. Also doubt he goes first round.
