The top assistant wasn't willing to criticize the head coach while the head coach was still at Penn State. Said head coach is now at Virginia Tech, and the top assistant chose to stay in Happy Valley. So the top assistant is no longer loyal to his former head coach who is now somewhere else.
Just to throw this out there Allars projected RAS score was projected to be 7-8+. Cole Payton's actual RAS was 9.87 to 9.98. That puts Payton at worst 16th since 1987 and best at 4th. People seem obsessed with Allars physicals while dismissing Payton is much better athletically. If we were really going to swing for the fences I would have picked the freak athlete.
Because high degree athletes are the ones who succeed at QB? I look at RAS more for say an Olineman in comparison. Athletic is nice but I want those strong arm pure pocket passers…
