Right now I would say Ramsey because he is playing to well and it is hard to count on Penix to stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdgenhoosier Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Penix. He won the job for a reason. He has done nothing in terms of poor play to lose the job. I also think his arm strength forces the defense to cover more field if that makes sense. It’s certainly nice to have this depth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 I'd still go with Penix. I think Ramsey is best suited as the guy off the bench. He's shown he can come in off the bench and play well, and he is still more limited than Penix. Teams can gameplan to take away Ramsey's strengths easier than they can Penix's. As awesome as Ramsey has been for us, Penix is the future. He should be in whenever he is healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Penix puts more pressure on a defense. In our last 4 games we will be playing two elite defenses, a good one, and Purdue. Ramsey could do nothing against Ohio State, and frankly did little against these opponents in the past I want to see what this team looks like with all our weapons... Penix for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Great question, coach. I am proud of you. Indiana is blessed to have two QB's who can get the job done. Albeit. In each, their own way. I like them both. And I know why Coach Allen said at season's start why he said picking one over the other, was one of the hardest things he has ever had to do as IU's HC. But to answer your question. So long as he is healthy. I have to go with Michael. Just think his arm and legs add so much to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWIUFan Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 CTA put this to bed at the start of the season. Penix is the starter. I LOVE Ramsey. I believe he has earned the Season Game Ball. Without him we are not Bowl eligible. He is also a starter on many other teams. He is very accurate as a passer and totally understands the Offense. However, Penix won the starting slot because he has far more arm strength than Ramsey. This causes the D to have to respect the deep ball and prevents them from loading the box against the run and forcing them to cover the entire field.. CTA said it was the hardest decision he has ever made. He loves both players but has to be brutally honest on behalf of the team when choosing the starter. Ramsey is a coaches son. He understands the situation. He doesn't have to like it but he understands his role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Cannon Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Penix has not played considerably better and it was against weaker competition. We are winning with Ramsey. You go with Ramsey. He’s given us the Most successful season in 26 years. How do you bench a guy that has done that. What message does it send to your teams bench if no matter how well you perform you can’t win the job if somebody else was named starter 3 months ago.

Fiveoutofsix Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Penix expands the playbook and he is good. He has does nothing to loose his spot with bad decision making. He is only getting better. Ramsey is what all good teams have, a next man up, good qb. We are not use to having a stable of QB's, and hopefully we keep all three, invluding Tuttle moving forward. Tuttle has tremendous upside as well. Penix is an arm that we haven't seen in a while. It is elite in the country. His ability to lead is also been a positive. Just hope he can play a longer stretch.

Wait .I thought conventional wisdom went : Hustle beats talent unless talent hustles? FWIW, I think Penix blows that game open yesterday. That is not taking away from Ramsey. If so show me where? Just saying your comment did not pursuade me as I saw no reason in your comment to remove a superior level of peak performance from a job they won and ever since, have done nothing to deserve to lose. Not only that. Why are you trying ti take away from what Penix has done(won a starting job +didn't lose it) ? Just slightly confused why it has to evolve into a controversy every time a back up comes in and successfully backs up ...the starter. Is it a "What have you done for me lately?"-thing that determines who starts?? I mean 2 weekends aint that damn long ago Lol Are you saying if Ramsey became starter and got injured amd missed twp weeks .Penix would just need to go off again to take the job back yet again? I mean , Personally I like higher ceilings on most building projects! Even if it takes a bit longer to round closer to completion. Do you not see how far ahead Penix is at in the same respective career juncture (RS Freshman) - at the time- and how much better potential he has flashed in the toughest B1G game IU played competitively in - 20 straight throws worth- to be exact - with a fraction of as many road starts? So what of he lost his road game debut to a ranked MSU team. That is how I view things though .Sticking to it too! Im drinkin beer but I know what Im saying here.Sort of.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlinedavid Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 We haven't exactly been ineffective with Penix. If he hasn't been dinged each time, I don't think there would be a big drop (if any) in results. As long as these are just short term injuries, Penix stays my starter.

Brass Cannon Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 People keep saying that Penix provides a clearly better product. I don’t see it They have nearly the same yardage. Penix on more per attempts. Ramsey with the higher completion percentage. Penix has played two fewer quarters and has two more turnovers. All while playing one one team that isn’t pathetic. An MSU team that people are saying are going to fire their coach. People keep saying he’s clearly better? Then why hasn’t it shown up in his performances.

That being said, the Ramsey we are seeing includes giving us no chance to be competitive vs Ohio State. We will be facing similar defenses in both Michigan and Penn St. As much as Peyton has done to get us where we are now, I don't see anything in his game that says we'd have a chance in those two games. Let Penix get back in game mode vs. Northwestern, then let's see what he can do against Michigan and Penn St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
