to say it's anything else is a betrayal of the truth. jerk had three go rounds with his relationship with pitt. he spurned the university twice. his talking now-is a load of mouthwash. his handlers told him if he still holds out any, even feint hope to play at the next level-then go where you can. the PR spin in this case makes me nauseous.. what does pitt lose in letting a new arrival go through real game actionfor the future.
jerk, made a business decision

I was able to comprehend everything you stated but this final thought. What does it mean?
Narduzzi is having the last laugh.
"I'll show this punk; let's strike out in the transfer portal so he doesn't have anyone to throw to!"
That's cold, coach. I like it.

I understand how you feel. I am willing to let it go if he leads us to an ACC championship. Otherwise it might be better to go with Viellieux.
The ND decision was the only time he “spurned” IMO. He was not going to come to Pitt while KP was the established starter and incumbent QB.
Everyone knows this is what happened. Let's see how it goes with Cignetti and no top WRs. Likely, this is going to be another case where he ends up hating Pitt and the fans.
You booed him when he threw 3 INTs against ND.
Oh wait... sorry. You guys don't know about that yet.
Former WPIAL football stars return home to accept new challenges at Pitt
Donovan McMillon remembers the first time he was on the same football field with Phil Jurkovec. From McMillon’s perspective, it wasn’t a pretty sight. Jurkovec’s Pine-Richland team beat McMillon and Peters Township, 56-7, on the way to the Rams winning WPIAL and PIAA 6A championships in 2017. “I was a

It wouldn’t surprise me. How often has Franklin’s coaching ever produced a bonafide, stud quarterback? He penned a book pertaining to developing quarterbacks, but he seems to be one of the last people who are knowledgeable about the subject.

I believe it means "What does Pitt lose by starting and playing one of the younger QB's so they gain game experience?"

Oh, like missing a bowl game or having to listen to the trolls scream that Duzz is on the hot seat or something?
Absolutely. But now that he’s made it, he’s out of options. PJ has to make his mark for Pitt and shows he’s pro material THIS SEASON. If not that’s likely the end of the road for him. So he ought to have a LOT of incentive to produce.
Maybe you missed McSorley's run at the coveted "worst NFL season by a Pennsylvania university graduate award" currently held by Peterman.
What is going on? This thread is very confusing....
Jesus Christ I hate most of you.
Perhaps OP should’ve written his post in his native language then we could’ve used Google translate to get the gist.
Correct--and Pitt didn't want or need him at that time. On top of that, he wouldn't be at Pitt now if it wasn't for the relationship with Cignetti. I doubt he;d have been on the prior OC's or Narduzzi's wishlist, and vice versa.
I don't think it's fair to slag on him for being a local boy choosing ND over Pitt for his first go-around. I mean, it's not like he chose PSU.....
I guarantee there would have at least been a competition at the time. And there is a very real chance Phil would have won the job. We are lucky that didn't happen, but Pickett was no slam dunk back then.
I have not been this confused since the 5!!!! --- Epic post of a couple weeks ago.
I mean you guys asking for he PSU kid. He played in 4 games in two years and threw 35 passes. His most playing time was against Rutgers and then it was Auburn, Ohio U, an Maryland. Starr Jurk an give the kid a couple series game. We wont because it isn't what HCPN does

Sort of the whole premise to coming to a message board, isn't it?

Last night, the pre-ordained starter at QB had the audacity to suggest that WPIAL kids should consider staying home. Not sure if it's some kind of epiphany or the kid is just trying to promote his new program but apparently it rubbed a few people the wrong way.
that quote was just head scratching, eye rolling, almost trolling comment to pitt fans.. just beyond ironic, almost comical.
Who gives a crap where a player was prior or where he stood on their depth chart? The only thing that matters is did he win games at Pitt or not.
Fans have to come to terms with the new world of tiered recruiting. The only top echelon star rated guys we’ll ever get again are when guys like this scorch their wings flying too close to the Sun (aka, SEC, B1G, ND) and they have to sheepishly glide back down to earth. It’s nothing personal. Well…ok, sometimes it might be personal (I’m sure a lot of these guys originally think of Pitt like that obese, mentally retarded OL from Butler or whatever did when he cultishly went to Pen St only to fail spectacularly…See? It’s personal).
Seriously, we know many of them think that way. Jurk wouldn’t have wiped his tail with our uniform and he said as much as the time he was in HS. So be it. We have to get over it. We need bodies, and the bodies that want us right out of high school unfortunately aren’t as good even as the flawed, downbeat bodies of these faded, humiliated 4-5 stars.

He did what was necessary with a weak QB room and brought in a plug and play starter that he has coached. It was a smart play on his part. How it works out is anyone’s guess, but it was the right move. I don’t think Caleb Williams was looking at transferring to Pitt.
Although whoever’s currently 3rd string at USC probably is. 😎
