We will have 4qbs next season! Then 3 the following. With the limited scholarships this year he I would not offer another Qb unless he is just lights out! GMG

Hoping the best for him and his family wherever he ends up. Some info on what they've been through...

Next year: Fine, Isadore, Shanbour, O'Hara, Pearson and Cason

2018: All but Shanbour.

Of course, Cason is a walk on, so if you are referring to scholarship players, then your numbers are correct.

Reports are saying he is looking to go to a pro style offense.

Shanbour is still a walkon who has yet to throw a pass in division 1 game. And it sounds like Isadore is a PWO.

Next two years at QB are not locked down if we could get someone worthwhile. That guy isn't going to be sawyer, though.

Sounds like we've got Fine, Pearson, and three lottery tickets. If we're lucky one of them turns out to be a good backup. There's always room for quality quarterbacks.

Also, Remember it was rumored on here that Augie from last years class is enrolling for the spring as a PWO as well...

Want nothing but the best for us but anyone that thinks we have a "sure thing" is drinking the juice. We need a bit of a reality check when it comes to what this year actually proved at the QB position. If your butt clenched every time Fine threw the football....it's ok....that is a natural reaction to years of bad qb play. He will grow and he will get better (if he stays healthy) but let's not proclaim ourselves as all set at qb.

I would be willing to bet a good deal on Fine. Kid needed a redshirt year instead he got a bunch of games of action. He'll be better that I am sure of.

We can bet on Fine, and everyone should be. But we need to remember we need to play whoever is the best. If that is Pearson, Izzy, Quinn, Augie(if he is here) or Morris from this past year. We also need to remember and believe/hope, that Fine is the worst/lowest ranked QB SL and the staff brings in. No offense to Fine, but bringing in better talent is needed at ever position group on this team.

No doubt. I want the dude who gives us the best chance to win playing.

I agree we should be looking to Fine to take the reigns next year. He started as a true freshman and got a lot of good experience. If we can improve our O line, I think he has a really good year.

MEANGREENCOACH2 · January 4, 2017

Fine is such a MOXY type of player! he has that aurora about him that is completely contagious. I love it. I will be cheering for the young man for the rest of his career at UNT whether he is the starter or not.

Cooley · January 4, 2017

Surely this program should be able to find someone bigger than 5-10. He's not that elusive for someone that small.

UTSA might beg to differ

Until I see him hit a receiver in stride on a go route, I'll remain skeptical.

Didnt happen this year.

Monkeypox · January 4, 2017

Whether or not we have the QB we need on the roster remains to be seen. However, we can't recruit 15 QBs every year.

ttunt1970 · January 4, 2017

Unless Sawyer is transferring here (who cares) start a new thread about quarterbacks on current roster or recruits.

I bet when he isn't fleeing for his life he'll look a lot better.

Plenty of chances to do it when no pressure was being applied.

Never did.

Not once.

**WARNING I ROOT FOR BOTH TEAMS** From UTSA perspective, I agree, he is small and not elusive. He got nailed several times, I was impressed with his toughness. What he does have is speed. A lot of speed. If i remember correctly, he had two big runs and both were speed- one capitalizing on a busted play and another a great play call. This actually brings up a concern. This guy needs some protection to develop as a q.b. I hope line improves to help him.

He isn't elusive? The dude avoided 20 + sacks while taking 30+ sacks where he had little to no chance to avoid. He'll be just Fine.
