Tino apologists, what say you?

ps – we really used him well as a “decoy” last year HAHAHA… good riddance wanny… please give me a new qb who actually belongs on the field with 1st round NFL talent!!!!!!!!!!

Nonetheless, don’t blame Tino because no other QB can beat him out. Remember, Bostick, not Tino, was the 4-star propsect, and even if not given an equal chance last year, he never even came close to appear as a blue-chip prospect. He was slow-footed with a pathetic wind-up, and even with the wind-up, his arm was no stronger than Tino.

And this year, it’s the two redshirt freshmen who were the 4-stars … who apparently cannot beat him out.

I am not alone in saying I will not be pleased if Tino ultimately gets the job.

Coach: Fit the offense to your strengths.

I’m just saying … don’t pick on Tino because the coaches prefer him over 3 other QBs who were rated as 4-stars.

These are 19 and 20 year olds who are trying their best .. quit pretending that they are pros (this isn’t Ohio State)

I think he’ll be just fine in that offense, considering that the safeties are up on the line to stop Charles and Jones, so imagine Baldy in Single coverage against a nickle back his rookie year with no safeties over top… He may put up huge numbers

Baldwin simply had the case of ‘final year itis’ where he was more focused on his draft status than he was on the team. Note that Marino may have suffered from this .. except back then, his poor ar year was blamed all on drugs!

The fact that he was upset tells me he expected more out of his teammates, himself, and his coaching staff.

Maybe he could have handled things a little differently, but lets not forget that he’s only 20-21 years old.

Then he and Ssible discussed a play vs UConn where an interception was caused due to an underthrow and Baldwin just plain stopped and made no attempt to make the tackle even though he was the closest Pitt player to the intercepter.

so there you go!
