Ouch! Hackenberg currently 126 of 128 in FBS TQBR

Doesn't mean a thing , he's not on RU's roster and was 10-19 (141 yds) in a 28-3 win over RU
Passed for 309 yards (29-44) last year against RU in PSU's 13-10 victory at High Point.

Until RU beats Hack and the Nits, won't point out his faults.
 
I've been reluctant to criticize Hack because the NFL scouts are obviously more impressed with him than I've been.

But I'm at a point now where I just don't get it. He's got the physical size, cannon arm, and QB mechanics that the NFL likes, but he's not an accurate thrower. For every great throw he makes, he makes about 15 horrible ones. I can't remember a college QB who short hops and overthrows on screen passes as much as Hack does.
 
Why is there an obsession with hackenberg on this board?

I can understand hating psu but hes just a kid. He hasnt pulled a ben mauk and taunted us or anything. Hes not an nj kid. Let it go...
 
Don't hate the kid but I don't think he'll make a good NFL QB. We all guess at this stuff and he reminds me of Ryan Leaf, just a little slow with things.
 
I have been posting about him for a while. Best of luck to him but I don't understand the hype. I have never thought of him as a number 1 over NFL pick. He misses too many easy throws. Throw that NFL QBs should make with no problem.

Pointing out his record against RU is meaningless. If a record against ru predicts NFL success than Pat White should be in the NFL hall of fame.

I think most of us see a ton of talent in this kid and O'Brien was able to coach him up as a freshman. Th reason many bring up how bad he has looked last year and into this year is more about Franklin then Hack
