Can Tate Martell be Trace McSorley?

[AustinCane6688]

Not trying to turn this into an appreciation thread about an opposing team's QB, but assuming Tate wins the job, I think this is a realistic ceiling/best case scenario. Their measurables and skillset are quite similar, and while McSorley won 31 of his 40 starts at Penn State, he was a career 59% passer and only finished above 60% once in 3 years. For reference, Rosier was 54% in 2017.

Linked some highlights below, but Joe Moorhead/whoever they had last year put him in low risk spots where he could distribute the football to skill guys that, outside of Saquan Barkley, are inferior to the skill players Martell will be working with. Granted, having an average to decent OL helps, but I do think the template is there for him to succeed.

I'll tell you what I give you major credit for this one. McSorley is definitely a good comparison.

Kid was tough as ****

For starting another f'ucking QB thread, I hope you experience all of this and more...

Do you really want to resort to a dink and dunk offense when you have elite receiver talent

 

[Canesfan1899]

Or maybe he can just be Tate Martel.

The next person who starts a qb thread should get the same treatment as a white journalist captured in Iraq

PSU wasn't dink and dunk when Morehead was OC.

 

[k9cane]

I just hope he throws better than Marty McSorley...

At this stage this is an excellent qb thread.

 

[Shaudluc]

Let Tate Be Tate.

16 YPC in 2016. Definitely wasn't dink and dunk.

 

[blackvern]

I see your Trace McSorley OP and raise you Doug Flutie

 

[jackbenimble71]

I suspect we will have a bunch of low risk throws to get the ball in our playmakers hands and let them do the work.

 

[Cribby]

He’s a faster more accurate Drew Brees.

End thread.

Hahahaha he’s a like Dan Marino and mike Vick had a baby.

Wasn't the Penn State OL terrible in 2016? They were absolute garbage for a few years around that time. They were fortunate to have Barkley mask their lack of talent.

 

[Cane6]

Hahahaha he’s a like Dan Marino and mike Vick had a baby.

What if Sage Rosenfelds and Jay Fiedler had a baby.... then you’d have Malik Rosier

 

[JgDaCane]

**** penn state & the horse they road in on.

You must resort to dink and dunk when your OL isn't even DII championship caliber.
