A rocket arm shouldn't be the bar to clear and then you hope for the other things like decision-making, command of the offense, etc.  It's fucking stupid thinking.

Good decision-making should be the default bar to clear, and then you look for/hope for the rocket arm, etc.
Brady, Montana, Manning, Brees, and many many others........EVERY top-5 QB bust had better "arm talent" than them.  So what?!?!

It's weird - racism over the QB position prevailed for so long because it was a "thinking" position.....and yet a rocket arm throws all that out the window?!?  Again, fucking stupid.  The only all-time greats with rocket arms were Favre, Marino, Roethlisberger....Elway....Stafford?  He's not an all-time great, exactly.

The point is, EVERY SINGLE QB BUST had a rocket arm.  Gee, maybe that's not necessarily the catalyst for a great QB.

I think NDs grit is impressive.  They will give Texas or OSU a helluva game.

I expect this ND NC appearance to go about the same as the last one vs Alabama in the 2012 season.

I was absolutely shocked they got aggressive with under a minute to go.  Allar had been awful

Their QB is a one-look passer....if it's not there, he scrambles.  DCs LOVE those QBs.  Spy him with one of your super athletes and they will struggle to score.

All true.  But they put up 27 tonight and won.

pretty much agree but NFL GM/coaches always fall in love with the raw talent and feel like they can coach said QB up to become great. 

As far as great arms go- well Aaron Rodgers had a pretty incredible arm- so put him in there. Aikman had a phenomenal arm- put him in there. I think Stafford should be considered an all-timer. He was stuck on an awful franchise with terrible coaching in Detroit for majority of his career- had he been in LA with McVey his entire career he'd be way up there. Mahomes is already an all-timer and he's got an elite arm. Josh Allen could get there- and that dudes arm is naaasty.

they definitely are tough as nails and have grit...but their QB can't really throw it. If say vs Ohio State Jeremiah Smith goes off vs them early and they are down 14 or 17 points early not sure they have the type of QB who can recover from that...

McElroy kept bringing up Allar not throwing picks.  Its because he never goes down field.  He got picked off on two total jump balls tonight.  They were both good calls, but those were not good or smart throws.  Then he makes a third dumb, bad throw, and its ballgame

Penn State wins if their DB doesn't get juked out of his jock off the LOS.
