Lost to a team…

Yet had 3 consensus all Americans in the program in that time.
George karlaftis?? He never would have come here for brohm, tiller or anyone else if he wasn’t from down the block.

Oconnell? Ever heard of a guy named Jeff Christiansen you ****in idiot!? He hand delivered Oconnell to brohm when none of Brohm’s recruited QBs have done anything.

Fact. Jeff brohm was 19-25 after year 4.

David Bell. Karlaftis. Charlie Jones.

Fact. Jeff Brohm went to 4/6 bowls while he was here.

I fully understand he’s not walking back through the door but blaming our old coach for the poorly coached team we see week in and week out isn’t the move. I’d argue this team is more talented on paper than last years (except at QB) but the staff can’t get them lined up, have them execute or call plays properly.

Sadly, we’ll still win a few more games because IU, Nebraska, Northwestern and Minnesota are all incredibly down and equally or more incompetent than this staff. We”ll win 4or 5 games and you’ll say we are back!
 
Bench him and then what?

I don't think they have a viable starter as a backup.

We did see him at least throw the ball away after that backwards overhead toss so apparently they said something.

Card really can't handle the rush and the OL isn't at the level to give him a clean pocket consistently.

The coaches have to give him more quick throws, play action, RPO and keep in RB and a TE to block on 3rd and long
Maybe Purdue could sign Nathan Peterman since he's been re-released by the Bears.
EDIT: Too late. The Bears re-re-signed him.

I don't care how many games Purdue wins this year, I'll still expect better next year.

I don’t doubt we can get more talented. Talent doesn’t matter when you can’t call or run a good defense or offense.
Purdue is a buyer in the portal? Go buy spy view. Opposing fans wished card well and had good things to say about Wilson and brown. No one else.
 
I do not understand Purdue fans! During the recruiting season you raved about how great all the recruits were that Purdue had brought in. And many were transfer portals that could step in immediately. The recruiting class had a great rating. But after a couple of bad looking losses, you claim Purdue didn’t have a full recruiting class! The coach brought in a lot of talent! Giving him 2-3 more years isn’t going to improve the level of recruits! The problem with recruiting class ratings is not how much time the coach spends, but rather did he recruit players to fill our actual needs? I wonder how many more DBs are going to be in our current class? It’s nice to recruit great players, but recruiting more than 4 at one position is overkill and leaves other positions weak and short on depth! Iowa was fortunate to find a backup qb and its defense won the game for them. Does purdue have a backup Qb? What would happen if card was lost for the season? Or Hartwig or James! Purdue has 80+ players but has never had any credible depth that could step up in the event of an injry
 
A defense that is set up to stop the run and put pressure on the QB........
I'm relieved that the Iowa game is behind us as we now know where this team stands.......
Fools Gold for 2023.
 
actually Purdue had some bad games with Brohm, a couple i can remember is the Iowa game last year, the TCU game 2019, Illinois game 2019, to name a few, i think alot of people block those games out and want to see more games like the OSU or Tennessee game. While the team is shooting itself in the foot alot, lets see if the coaches and team can learn from these mistakes and start winning more .
You forgot both of the Rutgers games... Yikes!

Purdue fans were "raving" about the recruits? I don't recall that, but I'm old so my memory could be bad. I know I didn't rave about the recruits nor did I expect the team to be very good this year.

agree, who was raving on the last class ( ranked 69th ) ? a coach coming in late and his first class is just damage control, so far like CRW's first real class.

Hard to run a good defense or offense with one of the least talented teams in the B1G.
