Nope, so no harm, no foul.
I am just wondering what you have seen in this kid that makes you doubt everyone else on who agrees that Paterno's O and his son's sad lack of coaching destroyed one of the most gifted HS QBs in the last decade?

Interesting bio on Morelli. As a 10 year old he threw the ball 50 yards to win Punt Pass and Kick at 3 rivers stadium, 10 years old!

Joe Paterno called him the most talented QB he ever coached.

And the controversy, Morelli revealed he hasn't spoken to his HS coach since 2003 because he accused the coach of sabotaging his recruitment spreading rumors to colleges that he lacked intelligence or the ability to read defenses.

At a Bowl game he announced to the media that he'd received NUMEROUS death threats from Penn State fans during his time as the starting QB.

Pretty interesting how big football is getting.

We're not quite as bad as English soccer fans. Yet.

Gee, his HS coach saw it before he ever made it to Penn State. Go figure!

As to the death threats...wow. I mean, I call him Moronelli and I'd scream at him when he played stupid, but geesh, it's only a game.

Bzz...everyone else being all the PSU fans that don't like that Paterno and son are still coaching there...that certainly does NOT constitue everyone.

Imagine a QB who throws a ball to the flat without regard for a closing corner, or relies on his cannon arm to force a pass into triple coverage, or makes one of any number of other stupid mistakes that a coach has nothing to do with beyond the basics. Like I said, he's like Plummer...no matter what kind of quality coach he has, he'll always make the stupid decisions.

Did Sam Keller get picked up as a UFA? I don't want the Cards to get him, I'm just curious. Seems like his transfer to Nebraska didn't help him as much as he thought...

I don't care if Moronelli had had Mike Holmgren as his QB coach. You simply cannot coach basic decision making, and he DOES NOT HAVE IT. He's about 200 times worse than Plummer, and he'll make the same stupid decisions over and over and over and over and over and...

Trust PA on this....... He will not last long.


Maybe he can sell shoes.

Tony Temple has not been picked up. Remember the great game he had while everyone was watching Macfadden and Jones. Guess one great game does not make a career.

Nice dig. Wish I had thought of it. I'll use that on the ASu board later. Thanks, Mr. Dibbs.

I think Chucky signed him. Plummer would'nt do it so he got another ASU boy.
