Look to the Transfer Portal: Discussion thread

The big part is your first sentence. I’m making the assumption he would be used as a slot. I’m not sure how playing qb helps/hinders his abiilty to acclimate in the short term.

I love this kid’s potential. Think it may be a year before he is a major contributor. And nobody will be happier if I’m wrong on this.

I'm just pointing out that as a QB, he was in on every play. When he ran, he took hits. By contrast, a WR may only have 5 or 6 catches in a game.

I'm just saying, he may be more prepared to handle the physicality of playing on the outside. Not saying he can or will, particularly if we land some high profile transfers. But it's possible.

Playing qb shows he has above average football IQ. It's more likely he learns the playbook faster than average, especially with KB as wr coach who is a solid developer. Rb & wr typically have highest rates of early return at the cfb level.
 
Penn State had some freaks at WR.....but their QB can't see them to throw the ball.

Evans is a legit speed guy....listed in the 4.3s so probably 4.4s. Wallace can leap out of the gym. Their corner Cam Miller in the portal as well. He's played a lot of snaps.

PSU has freak athletes across the board at like every position. It's something they heavily emphasize.

Carr I think can play the role of Jacolby George, meaning he can get it done on the outside. In regard to Ray Ray, meh I think he could legit move to RB if needed.

It would be awesome if Carr played to the level of Jacolby George 2024 vintage (putting aside his dumb penalties). This past season Jacolby played with confidence and a swag unseen his prior years. He took it to heart to plant his foot and get up field upon catch. I loved how after he was tackled he would stretch his arms to place the ball above his head for an extra yard (ala Edgerrin James). Here are his highlights from 2024:

I don’t think Carr will play to the level of JG, BUT he can play the same position. George is severely underrated by the fan base because he’s a bonehead at times
