He was literally on track to break the passing records of the guy currently with the second best odds to be the NFL MVP. Not at all a wild claim that another solid season would give him a good chance to make the NFL.

How do you know he would have a solid season at Iowa State? There’s no evidence that he would.

I obviously don't know that. Clearly there's no evidence of a hypothetical scenario that will never happen.

All I said was that he was having a great career and had NFL prospects that would have continued with another solid season, not that staying at ISU guaranteed him one. Enjoy your new coach and team.

I know that’s all you said, but you said it defending the notion that going to Penn State somehow cost him an NFL career. Your comment does not exist in a vacuum, it’s part of the larger conversation and you clearly said it with that context.

And yes, I know there’s 0 evidence for this hypothetical situation, that’s my point. But yet you’re arguing with me instead of the guy pretending he does know how that hypothetical situation plays out.

Enjoy your new coach and team as well.
