Man, I don't doubt your intelligence, never have. Why would I? To be honest, I was joking about the Moggi stuff for the most part. The basis of it was that others misinterpreted what you had said, not that you actually thought another successful period with multiple CL finals was upon us.
I don't see why my excitement over the player needs to be curtailed. First of all, I never said he was anything besides promising and looking confident for a freshman, which doesn't mean I think he's another Matt Barkley. Secondly, the fact that JoePa even started the player is astounding since he NEVER starts fresh QB's. Sure, the competition isn't all that great, but it was widely thought that Newsome would be the starter. And that's not just because Bolden only had less than a month practicing with the team. Then thirdly, the kid obviously has a great arm and in-game thought process for his age -- he chose the right angles and didn't "pass beyond his means", which young QB's at this level tend to do.
The reason why I asked if you saw the game was because this poise, confidence, and overall ability to throw the ball can't always be seen in just a few Sportscenter highlights. I know full well the competition was poor, I know that he needs to show a similar effort against Bama, and I know that he's still got a long way to go. But one thing is for sure, after watching us play Youngstown State for several years, Bolden was better in passing the ball than both Morelli and Clark, both of whom were seniors. So that gives me something to be excited about.
Obviously with Bama's quick defense he's going to have more errors at this point. But if our O-line can protect him in the pocket, giving him some time, he might not do too badly. We'll see, he might be benched for the rest of the season, I just don't know.
But for now, I'll go overrate some other Nittany Lion since I do it so much...
