Really.
Must have missed that?
Bullets points/links to post as to why?
Just very curious.
Combination of a lot of things...
- He's never going to be a polished passer. He's always going to have that awkward throwing motion, and it's only once in a great while you'll actually see him be fundamentally sound when he throws the ball.
- He runs like a pussy... he's Cam Newton's size and he runs like such a little bitch. I've seen him lower his shoulder like 3 times, and every time he trucked the shit out of a LB, but he just won't. He doesn't even juke or anything, pretty much all he does is just run and hope to outrun everybody.
- Poor character guy. Can't take criticism, you've seen how he blew up on Mark May when he was a freshman, or even Herbstreit this year when he called him a "Fake Buckeye" because Herbie criticized OSU. Frankly, not the kind of guy I want representing the school that I'm paying $30,000 a year to go to.
He's never going to be the player everyone thought he was. He'll never be a passer that teams are going to be afraid of. He won, though. He went 30-4, won his lone bowl game start, won 3 straight Big Ten titles, and beat Michigan 3 times. I guess I can't ask for much more.
TP was extremely raw coming out of high school. When I say extremely raw, I mean he didn't even know how to properly execute a j-roll at the Army All-American game, and the coaches were just flabbergasted as to how he didn't even have that coaching, but even they saw the potential he had. He still has a ton of potential... but I doubt he'll ever reach it.
