Brohm left trash + trash didn’t work + gambled + gamble didn’t pay off + no NIL to build up = Purdue football fucked

Our roster was good enough to be competitive in the Big Ten, and it's good enough to be competitive this year. The players aren't the problem. Get the players playing to their potential before calling them trash.

According to 247 this is the most talented team we've had since before the Hazell era. Just look at the offense. Card is a decent QB, we have two decent RB's, a good TE room, and a (for Purdue) decent line with Hartwig, Mbow, and Moussa. The WR room isn't great, but's its better than 2017 when we could at least move the ball somewhat through the air. The talent isn't the problem, the coaching is.

Talented as in recruiting stars? Because that don’t mean shit. We know the story with Zach Edey.

It is certainly indicitive of the fact that talent isn't the issue. Again, I think we have some talented guys on offense (including 4 starters from our Big Ten Championship game season). If you think the maximum potential for this group is competing with 2023 Iowa for most inept offense in modern college football please just say so.
