Let me preempt a lot of posts

No, none of our other quarterbacks would be doing any better.

And, no, I don't miss DT

They certainly couldn't do any worse.

Hell, you could do as well.

I agree on the first statement, but not the second.

AGREED and AGREED!

[NM Green]

I totally miss DT but if we need someone to step forward and play smart.

5th year DT threw a couple pick 6 past season.

Give Dajon time.

[NM Green]

Also got us to 9 wins and best bowl win ever.

Have a high standard and get there.

Not worried about DW. We are just not very good all over the place.

[LongJim]

He's young. Lots of upside to this kid, but it'll be rocky until he gets more games under his belt.

[untbowler]

hard to get any rhythm when the O-Line is not blocking, the fumble was horrible and the Pick 6 was read

[Mean Green 93-98]

Dajon's our guy, duh. But those TO's were game killers.

Of course YOU don't.

But UNT football really really does.

[emmitt01]

Do we practice tackling?!!

[KingDL1]

Do we practice tackling?!!

We ran out of tackling fuel.

I agree with your general sentiment, but as for the game itself, the 2002 win against Cincinnati was probably the best win which was basically against the champion of a "better" conference.

I still think DW is our best option, but he should have been more prepared by the staff earlier in the year. If he had more experience before the Nicholls State game, I'd like to believe this game wouldn't have been a slaughter.

Why? He wasn't physically prepared, missed practices, and supposedly didn't give a great effort to be a starter. I do understand that becoming a father weighs heavy on the mind. I can understand that and certainly don't condemn his priorities. But, I'd want my starter to learn the playbook and be motivated so that he can motivate others. The quarterback has to be the spiritual leader of the team. He can't screw up because it affects the team; or at the very least, the offense. You saw how quickly everyone jumped on Greer.

Although I have no clue what Connor Means might accomplish, I also agree that DW is our best option. He'll have bad days and a lot more good days but he has to learn from mistakes and get back on the horse that threw him. He doesn't need us to make excuses for him.

He, DT, gave us 9 wins?!?!?!?! BWWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....please stop.

[GrandGreen]

Hell, I was wrong with a comment in another tread when I assumed that the Thompson detractors would at least be silence for a while.

[Ben Gooding]

Yes, very. I will not sit here and lower already low expectations by calling a subpar QB a UNT HOF QB like lots of people already do. He did great in Dallas last year and he should be appreciated for it. But people or at least I don't forget what transpired before that. Again, he benefitted from a good defense and great special teams. He still IMO single handedly lost the Tulane game and arguably the Ohio game last year. The years before that...well, you know.

DT was not a "subpar" QB statistically or otherwise. Besides, maybe we should just concentrate on our QB play going forward, eh? From the QB disaster that I saw today, we could certainly use some improvement in that regard.

[Ben Gooding]

3 year starter averages 2400 yards and 1:1. That is below average and quite a bit actually. So he would be nationally subpar. But agreed. The coaching staff need to worry about the current situation, at least a couple jobs are wavering.

According to the comprehensive 2013 NCAA QB stats he was not below average nationally, and he certainly was not average as far as the history of NT QB's is concerned. Enough with DT talk for me. We've got new fish to fry.
