Saquon Barkley Going Pro

Saygone!

Thank god.

Penn State will be good next year but nowhere near as good without Barkley. Barkley is like Adrian Petersen. He’s a generational talent and whoever PSU has backing Barkley up is an automatic downgrade by at least 2-3 pegs.

Take those fuckers down in what should be a prime time matchup next season.

I doubt the Browns take a QB at #1 overall, which means Barkley is likely the next best option. Speculation here in Cleveland media is that the Browns opt to go after a free agent QB (like Cousins) rather than drafting another one.

Roasted us just as much as Barkley did last year and he’s gone as well. McSorely is a good qb but he’s losing some major weapons so they should take a step back for sure. Their defense takes a ton of hits to it by graduation

I went to college in PA so a number of my friends are PSU fans.  We've been having an ongoing discussion about how our teams will fare as we finalize this season.  Looking at both rosters, considering Moorehead is gone, and the game is in AA I like our chances, and not just as a fan.  PSU looses Barkley, Gesicki, Hamilton, and Sneed on offense and both DTs, Cabinda, and their 4 starting DBs on defense.  We lose Cole, Speight, Hill, and Poggi on offense and McCray and Hurst on defense...that's it.

 

UM looses way less offensive production and likely improves offensively by getting a year older in a lot of positions and by getting Peters/Patterson as our QB, bringing back both RBs, and all our TEs and WRs.  Hurst will be a loss, but I still think we lose less defensiely than PSU does.  If Simmons, Gross-Matos, and/or Parsons are ready they may have some rush defensively, but I have to assume their back half is not quite as good.  All in all I think we bring back a lot, they lose a lot, and we get them at home.  I like our chances.

Barkley is a monster on the field, and seems like a real down to earth kid. Glad he is going to get paid. Not having to game plan around him, or have someone like McCray attempt to cover him is good too.

In related news, pizza tastes good and the sun is coming up tomorrow.

Have fun in the NFL! Goodbye! Forever!

That is shocking. I am shocked.

No brainer.  I usually root for guys to stay four years, but at RB you only get a few years and you just can't put an extra year on your body for free.  Doubly so running behind that offensive line.

If I am Cleveland I would take Barkley #1 and then w the 4th pick take one of the other 2-3 QB left. Or trade down from 4 to about 8-9 and get the extra 1 and 2 and take the last of the 4 QB's

Cleveland could possible have take. In the last 2 drafts:
Miles, Peppers, Kizor, The TE from Miami
Barkley and Darnold or Rosin.

Not a bad nucleus.

Barkley required a lot of attention.  McSorley is good but more players on defense can stay home and cover the rest of the field with Barkley gone.  This year, the offensive play calling was impressive.  I think PSU drops off significantly next year (significantly means one more loss as we made their season this year).  PSU loses in Ann Arbor and they fall off the map is my prediction/hope.

JoePa knew and PSU should be banished to Division III forever.  I remember when PSU joined the BIG 10 and some pundits suggested that PSU would win the conference championship every year.
