You could try to argue it for 2002, but he was nowhere close in 2003 or 2004.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 ....well, he did last 21 days....so maybe they sign EJ back......stay tuned......never know with Chuckie..............

LaDexter Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Anyone who actually watched Hackenberg at Penn State and gave him something other than an UNDRAFTED GRADE is a completely incompetent football scout... 1

He also beat out Connor Cook, a former board favorite here last year!!! Dear Lord, Hackenberg must really suck. A guy who looks the part of a franchise qb who never really had the ability. It’s hilarious that people tried to blame James Franklin for his failings. 2 minutes ago, LaDexter said: Anyone who actually watched Hackenberg at Penn State and gave him something other than an UNDRAFTED GRADE is a completely incompetent football scout... They blamed everyone else at PSU for his failings. Thankfully, we won’t draft someone like that!!!
jrober38 Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Christian Hackenberg has plenty of similarities as a prospect to Josh Allen. Pros - big, strong, mobile, "looks" like a QB, good intangibles, smart Cons - questionable accuracy, poor game film, poor pocket presence Hopefully Allen is a lot better, but it shows how low the floor is for boom or bust prospects like this.

Augie Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 I am eternally grateful for each and every draft blunder by our AFCE opponents. This is a biggie! THANK YOU!

A continuation of the mediocrity he showed in Buff. Not sure how one can conclude he is a fine backup? Holds clipboard well? Can wear headphones if required?

I thought the knock on Hackenberg was he's dumb? Wasn't that his issue? He could not read defenses. Didn't he have a low wonderlic too? Edited June 12, 2018 by CuddyDark

JimBob2232 Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Sad story. Think the kid got ruined when Bill O'Brien left Penn State. He had it all. Good O-Line, Good WRs, Good Coach. Then in 2013 O'Brien left and his WRs (Allen Robinson) and several OL went to the NFL. Sanctions decimated them at OL. Kid got crushed. In 2013 and 2014 he had as many sacks per game as Drew Bledsoe did in 2005 (3.4/game). He physically seemed to be able to take the abuse, but it was clear he was thrown off his game. It threw him off and he never recovered. He is one of the main guys who kept penn state together through the sanctions, and i will never forget him for that...but sadly, i think he is done here. Hope to see him get another chance, but i think time has run out.
