Stats may not mean anything to you but nevertheless they do have real bearing on NFL QB performance and potential. All top QBs in the league today threw for >9.0 adjusted Yards per attempt at least 1 year and/or had >60% completion rate overall, usually both. Hack had neither.

How many of these qbs players played under the same circumstances Hackenberg did?

He was basically playing in the big ten with mid major talent

I don't like him as prospect at all but I'm using it as an example why you can't use stats in college to compare prospects or make an absolute judgement on their pro prospects

I dont think there are any quality starting QB's in the NFL that didnt meet or exceed those metrics. Also the 3 year starter/30 games is a big benchmark as well.

Hackenberg and Cooks completion % probably wont improve that much if they couldnt complete 60+ in college. Cardale Jones threw less than 300 total passes in college which would generally make him undraftable if he didnt play at OSU.

Yeah but there was a minor thing in the news you might have heard about some molesting going on over there that created a mass exodus of players transferring from there

And they've still had top 15-25 classes since then. Gonna act like none of those players played with him the past three years?

Who said none? But you have to be fair that team was crippled by sanctions

Yeah, there's no denying that. He still had more talent around him than any mid major and some power 5 schools tho. Penn State's talent shyts on schools like Colorado or Syracuse, even when they were at their worst
