and....other than WKU, not so much.  Fine had a PWO to OU.  Fine had better Frosh stats than Mullen

While he did have a good year, the stats were highly impacted with garbage time stats... yes he played well, but he didn't do much to lock up the job for next season. We all love the kid, but he needs to improve a lot and some of that is on the WR and OL but some is also on him.. Throw the ball away and keep it at 2nd and 10.. not 2nd and 16 because of a sack.

Stop using logic. Some people have an agenda.

 

ETA: I am not advocating one QB over any other. I want the best player/s on the field. PERIOD. Seth Littrell has shown the same desire. The bottom line is winning. THAT is all that matters. If Fine is the best then so be it.

I like Fine alot, but his limitations showed up last year. He has a chance to grow and get much better but I'm happy with the 2 guys we have in to compete. If Isadora beats him in camp, Fine should sit and continue to develop. Can Fine be redshirted or did we burn his last year?

These are all things that I would expect a freshman to improve on over his first full offseason.
He took some terrible sacks.

You have 5 years to play 4.   You can redshirt anywhere in there.

I don't see it as being likely at all that Fine redshirts next year.  If Isadore wins the #1 spot, it would make far more sense to keep the experienced Fine as the backup while redshirting Pearson.  Even if Pearson were to win the #1 spot, I don't see putting a redshirt on Fine.  The staff would basically be saying that Pearson is the QB for the next 4 years--putting a redshirt on Fine would just make him exhaust his eligibility at the same time as Pearson.

This is all an exercise in futility.

Both Mullens and Fine had terrible freshman years. Near-worst in the country for their respective years.

The key is how Mullens did afterwards, and how Fine will learn and grow from his first year. 

Questions you need to ask yourself:

  • How did he progress as a passer (technique, accuracy, delivery) through the course of the season
    • He improved, some areas more than others
  • How did he progress as a decision maker
    • Ehh....
  • How did he progress as a leader
    • No doubt the huddle was his
  • How much more playbook did we see as the year progressed
    • Not sure

How will Fine do in his second year? Say it with me: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Your observations weren't futile.   I think the comparison is apt.
If this comparison is futile, so is the 24/7 class rankings between UNT & UTSA because it's all internet fodder (it's not though).

Good points.  Fine needs to improve (along with the rest of the offense to give him more help).  I am glad to have a couple of more arms to compete with him.

It's the comparison of, well this guy that did very well in his career had a worse freshman year than Fine.

There's no way of knowing how Fine will bounce back, and it's just hope we're grasping for. So the rest of my post was meant to suggest observable qualities that we could use to project how Fine could grow. 

Get Mullens out of the conversation, bring Pearson in and let's talk about growth after we watch them compete this spring.

I mean it's fun to talk about how he could do based on how he looked live, but to suggest he either sucks or he's great is both boring conversation and unrealistic at this point in time. Call me Cautious Clay?

Like this. This is boring conversation. (is that you NTAlum07?)

What are the observable qualities you think suggest that Fine won't be able to win the starting job? And I don't mean he fumbles all the time, I'm talking about mechanics, delivery, accuracy, film.

Otherwise we continue to circle the thread-killing drain of "well he sucks".

Because you don't want him to be? Because you have facts to back this up? Until a new depth chart comes out with the new guys on it, our incumbent starter is Mason Fine and his backup is Quinn Shanbour. Maybe that will change by September but it hasn't yet and Littrell loves him some Mason Fine.

Who cares who starts? Everyone should want the best players on the field, period. I suspect Fine will be the man to beat, but I'm thinking he'll get a damn good run for his money from the incoming QBs....

      What is this program missing?

      This part of your argument is just not true. North Texas has claimed 25 conference championships in football all time, tied for 13th most in the FBS. I would say a “signature win” would be the win over undefeated #22 UTSA in 2021. Looking a little further back, are you forgetting about the season we beat Rice and Texas Tech on the road, and also nearly beat Texas at DKR?

      You sound like the idiots on the Minnesota board. One can't always just look at conference affiliation and automatically assume "yeah that team is good/bad" dependent on that alone.

      2025 DC Wish List

      I can’t go back 20 years, but with the last DC we paid a lot for someone who didn’t know how to adapt to his personnel or recruit Texas or have any relations with high school coaches in Texas Then let him hire position coaches that were only GA’s (no recruiting trail opportunities). So we tried not spelling Texas. And you see where we lack depth on defense and it’s all attributed to those relationships. In G5 conferences we have to get THAT guy. It’s important on signing day and the transfer portal. But I can see the frustration. But if I’m wrong it sure not the first time

      If losing to MS is now acceptable we have low expectations.

      They were a better seed (12) in the NCAA Tournament last season than we've been in any of our four previous trips. A good team is a good team, no matter the league.
