Ramsey and Taylor are tough as they come and I have no reason to believe Penix is any different. They might be athletic & tough, but they have to play smart.

hoosiertildeath Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Good RIDDANCE !! The joker got BEAT OUT by a damn good QUARTERBACK in Payton Ramsey !! When one door closes another opens !! Reese Taylor will get a decent shot now !! I'm loving it !! Go Hoosiers !! MUCK the smellermakers ! P.S. IU's current #2 QUARTERBACK-Michael Penix,Jr. , ain't too shabby either !! IU also has FOUR other Quarterbacks in their depth chart ffor QUARTERBACKS !! I'm not losing any sleep over the IU Quarterback position !!!!!!

Just last Friday night I had a conversation with my daughter who was disappointed in not getting into her middle school soccer game that night. After our discussion, she understood the concept of working hard to get better, being a good teammate, and taking advantage of the opportunity when her time came. If a 12 year old can understand that..... A great life lesson for your little girl, I hope she gives it her all. But this kid left UofA to play his last season at IU. What we dont know is what he was told during recruiting. I have no issue with a kid leaving or a kid being made to leave. He has one year left in his life to play, i hope he finds it.

"At the end of the day, I want what is best for Indiana football,'' Dawkins said. "Whether that is me being out there on the field or me coaching the guys up as much as I can. You know I'm never going to be salty about not being in the game. I want to be in the game, but it's not my decision. Whatever the case may be, I want to be able to help in any way I can. "I didn't come to Indiana just to be selfish and worry all about me. I wanted to come to a new team and do whatever I can and make the most of it. Bottom line is I just want to win games.'' Dawkins said best in his own words in an article from the Goshen News.......^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Those words he originally spoke sure don't reflect what he actually did. Guarantee there were no promises what so ever, especially with Allen as the head coach. Dawkins knew coming in what was on the table including an honest dog fight of a QB competition. I don't think he expected the other QBs to be such good competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no different than going for a promotion at work, you tell your supervisor you will be just fine if you don't get it and stay in your current role with glee. In reality, getting turned down for a promotion usually leads to that person going to look for another job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he expected the other QBs to be such good competition. This is my take. I really think he was going to waltz into Bloomington and be the starter. He got his feelings hurt at 'Zona......and he did here as well. To me he looks like a bad team mate. Wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know Ramsey could have done that exact same thing.. but nope... that kid is actually tough, hes actually someone I want as my QB, hes someone that wins over a locker room (he already did that).

Leathernecks Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 I'm a lot more excited about Ramsey now than I was at the end of last season. From all reports, he's put in a ton of work. I think the games he played last year were invaluable to show him what he needed to improve upon. I have been critical of him in the past and even called him a net neutral player for this year (won't win games, won't lose games...see: Orton, Kyle. 2005 Bears). From what I've been reading about him the last month, I actually think he might be a decent QB this year. It obviously won't be known until the season starts, but I think he's progressed more in the offseason than I expected. I've been impressed with his make up as a QB too. He seemed to take the extra competition of Dawkins and Penix and use it to push him even harder. I expected him to take until his junior and senior year to really be a QB that can go out and win you a game, but I think he might be pushing that this year. I'm sure he see Penix in the rear view mirror, but Ramsey seems determined to not let him catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierJax Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Take this for what it's worth but a coworker of mine is working on the construction of the football stadium that is finishing up and he has been able to catch glimpses of practice over the last couple of weeks,in one of those glimpses he said Penix rolled out to the right and with the defense in his face he was able to throw an off balance pass of at least 40 yards in the air for a completion...said the dude has athletic ability with a good arm..could unseat Ramsey if he don't come out strong and struggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say I think it's easier to throw rolling right as a left handed QB than it is rolling left.. nonetheless that's a tremendous throw and cool your buddy got to see that. I wonder how well Penix has picked up on the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we will find out Saturday...he enrolled in January and got to go Thur spring practice from what I have been told...plus fall camp,so he's had to take in a good bit of the offense I would think.
