Lets cool it we have a chance with this guy & it may make or break big mac with the Jets, get some peanuts & beer sit back & lets enjoy the ride.
But as of today it is in Geno we trust.

Huh?Some have suggested that Hackenberg holds the ball too long, resulting in some of the sacks.
That's a fair criticism, whether true or not.
I'd like to see him get some reps in the pre-season with the 1st team offense , just to see what he can do. He seems to be a really intelligent kid who just needs some mechanical adjustments , mainly on his footwork.Huh?
No, its a fair criticism if its true and an unfair criticism if it isn't.
That said, they had two converted DT's at the OG's and a LT who couldn't block anyone, they might as well have had a tackling dummy at LT, it was that bad. You watch the tape of his games and often times he couldn't even finish his drop back, much less set his feet, before he was getting blasted. In retrospect he made a colossal mistake by choosing Penn State after their scholarships were pulled, and even Bill O'Brien who recruited him got the hell out of Dodge as soon as he could escape, leaving the kid to suffer under the tutelage of that moron Franklin. The fact that this kid sucked it up, took the physical pounding, didn't leave and never complained, is a true testament to his character.
IMO, if we don't re-sign fitzpatrick smith would go into OTAs as the starter in name only.. i can't see bowles/gailey not giving petty & hackenberg a real chance to win the job..Lets cool it we have a chance with this guy & it may make or break big mac with the Jets, get some peanuts & beer sit back & lets enjoy the ride.

petty has had a chance to watch & learn from fitzpatrick & hackenberg ran a sophisticated pro style offense extremely well as an 18 year old..
I am just going to enjoy the ride! Uphill or down hill
So are you implying Geno's coaches made him change what came naturally to him? Put him in a different system than he already excelled in, made him change his footwork, etc? That would be news to me.
To my knowledge there is no precedent set for a player like this -- someone who showed great potential but was then stripped of the ability to maximize that potential. I assure you PFF didn't take that into account, because they can't -- they simply put data into a computer and see what spits out.
Most college players don't succeed in the NFL because a) their game "doesn't translate well to the NFL", b) they don't put in the necessary effort to succeed or c) they simply aren't good enough. It could be argued that Hackenberg passes all three tests, just not over the duration of his college career. Only time will tell if those arguments hold water . . .
Let the games come before we judge him......Just bring head protection if you are in the first few rows
I'm going to give this pick a chance, but this is going to take some time. Even when he had time, this was an ugly performance

well he got sacked 10 times in that game. and who knows how many other times he got hit. so hardly the best game to look at for when he "had time" as he was probably shell-shocked. not sure how many QBs would look good in a game they were sacked 10 times.
If he gets shell shocked whenever he gets hit a bunch of times, that's not good. Again, just look at the throws when he has time. He misses easy throws and looks lost out there

Brutal game. I watched it live at the time. When he threw that pick 6 I was ready to tear his face off. lol
Yeah he got sacked 10 times, 6 of them were on him. When he had time throwing balls into the dirt, or into coverage.
That was the game I no longer was a part of the Hack Pack
