mrflynn03 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Ramsey has really stepped up and filled his role. I say a healthy Penix starts but he better stay on top of his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Easy call, Penix. I’d say performance wise they’re probably close to being equal, but Penix is the guy long term as we all know. Why mess with his confidence? CTA made the decision prior the season and Penix has done nothing to make that decision look foolish-he’s just been injured.

milehiiu Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 The best thing about this QB controversy is that Coach Allen has never said he plans to platoon both QB's. Someone once said if you have two QB's then you have no QB's. Both of our guys have their own ways to win games. And aside from injuries, should be allowed to win games, without having to come out, just because it was game planned that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the saying is if you DON'T have two quarterbacks then you have no quarterbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe you are correct. And that I messed the saying up. However, in IU's case....I believe we have two QB's that not only we can rely upon. But not fret when either is running the show. Just don't platoon them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderMonkey Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 If Penix is healthy, start him. He was named starter and when healthy has been pretty dynamic. If he's banged up, let him rest and give Ramsey the start. He has proven he can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given that, I believe Peyton has upped his game, due to that experience. Peyton, IMHO is not on the same physical level as Michael ( when healthy) , but as I just said, has upped his game due to more game time experience. I just see a growth in Ramsey's game that I did not see last season. Offensive co-ordinators aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We appreciate what PR has done but Penix is our guy. When healthy he's our starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really like it because I think having 2 good options fight it out is a good thing, but it definitely is a saying. People use it when a coach plays more than one quarterback in the same game. Kind of like when we played Ramsey a few series and sat Lagow at the beginning of Allen's first year. I think what btown said might be a saying too. Two different ways of looking at a similar situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two different ways of looking at a similar situation. Actually, a situation like that is different. Ramsey and Lagow were opposites in terms of playing style. Lagow was a drop back passer, while Ramsey was/is more mobile. Coaches can do that to keep defenses off balance. Penix and Ramsey are similar in style. You don't get the positive benefit of the defense being off balance by switching them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a couple people saying it that year, buy I agree with your points. It worked the year when we had Roberson and Sudfeld too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 I had to laugh this morning watching the tailgate today (Nov 2) on the BTN. As they were saying Indiana has the two best QB combination in all of college football. They went on to say words to the effect that is a luxury that hardly any college teams have going for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officer Obie Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Who was that 3rd string walk-on Irish kid that led Purdue on that 82 yard winning drive against Nebraska yesterday? I'd take him in a heartbeat. My serious answer is Ramsey. He's proven and tough. Penix is great. He is the future. He has 3 years ahead of him at IU.

OLDIUFAN Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Are his injuries old reoccurring ones. That he keeps re -injuring ? Hopefully this break will give him a chance to heal! As great a job as Ramsey has done and I am so happy for him. The offense looks a lot more explosive with Penix as QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
