Watching PR against Purdue and I have to say I really like him. But.......I like MP more.
Penix/Ramsey
- Thread starter bang63
- Start date
Tough, and risky call.
MP is makes some weird throws that Peyton wouldn't try...but he completes them for big plays
Still hard to say which way we should have gone...wish we had both.

Still hard to say?? Ramsey is great, gritty kid and doing great at NU, but he does t ha e Penix arm, or upside.
Ramsey is safe. He’s the girl that’s a 7 that won’t cheat on you.
Penix is the girl that’s a 9 that has a history of texting other guys.

Penix is 9-1 as a starter, and his only loss was the MSU game last year where he completed 20 straight passes. It was not a tough call.
It worked out well for everyone.

I'm good either way...but we're not 4-0 because of our QB.
Our defense is the key.
Both guys are 4-0 now.
Maybe we had the best two QB's in the conference last couple years?

If Ramsey wants to get into coaching, I'd sure like to see CTA find a spot for him. That's just a great kid.
Agreed. So happy Ramsey is doing well at Northwestern and I wish him continued success (unless they play us in the ninth week) but, in terms of who's the better QB, it's not even close.
We were 1-0 because of our QB.
I said my piece on this last year but will chime in one more time. Some people were acting like the gap between Penix and Ramsey was bigger than it actually was. I've always said Penix is better but Ramsey is also very good.
Yes. PR is getting the well-deserved opportunity to be a clear, #1, every-down, quarterback and Penix is getting the opportunity to lead this program that injuries the past two years have denied him. So far it seems to be working out well for all parties involved. It never needed to be a competition in the minds of some fans that it became. I'm thrilled that Penix is turning out to be the star we all thought he could be, and I'm equally thrilled that Ramsey is having such a great year - especially at a program I can root for. I plan to root for him every game this season, with the glaring exception of a possible contest against NU in the B1G championship.
As far as I'm concerned, Peyton Ramsey is and will always be a Hoosier great, but Penix is a special talent. I'm sure the coaching staff would like to have them both, but anyone who really has the kids' best interest at heart knew that one (or both) was going to get short-changed if they were both here this fall. Both deserve to be starting quarterbacks, and Ramsey's decision to transfer gave both of them that opportunity. It's ironic that something that might appear on its face to be a selfish act (Ramsey's decision to transfer) was rather selfless. Maybe PR was simply mature enough to see that Penix was too good to keep on the sideline, and that he didn't want to spend his final year watching from the sideline or waiting for Penix to fail or be injured. It spared Coach Allen from having to make a heart-wrenching decision, it spared the program the weight of a potential quarterback controversy, and it has so far proven to be a win for both programs and both players.
Both are excellent QBs. Both have done wonders for IU.
The main difference?
IU has Penix for at least 1-2 years more than Ramsey with NW.
Those 1-2 years will make a huge difference when their collegiate careers are all done.
Appreciate Ramsey. Salivating about Penix future.

Peyton Ramsey handled himself with class. Even tried to transfer somewhere where he most likely wouldn’t play against us. Terrific kid. He’s going to succeed in life.
Prior to the 2019 season many people on this board were going nuts stating if Ramsey played QB the season was doomed. His arm was weak, couldn't make the throws, yada yada yada.
Prior to this season many people on this board were going nuts because Ramsey left and we had Penix for QB who can't stay healthy and on the field so IU is doomed.
I am thankful both came to play football for IU. Both have been very good for us and are fantastic representatives of IU. God bless them both. But if we play Northwestern, I hope our defense does to Ramsey what they did to the MSU QBs yesterday. Then I will welcome Peyton back to IU as a coach with open arms!
