UNT QB Situation post spring

Let's hope it is Issy! That means he is better than last years Qb and is 3-4" taller!

If you take out the Florida game, Fine's completion % was a little over 62% for the year. Not bad for a true freshman. Still, he needs to improve, which he should, if we are going to be any good. If someone can beat him out, all the better for UNT.

Ok.

I'll disagree. His running skills aren't great, besides scrambling. Shanbour and Means are better runners. And special teams and defense? I thought we were saying he couldn't handle the hits?

I think we're all on the same page of "let the best players play", but I'm not sure the incoming QBs have unseated Fine just yet.

Here's some more interesting stats while I'm at it:

Fine's completion %

Own 1-40: 60.9%

40-40: 58%

Opp 40-1: 57.5%

vs Conference: 64%

vs FBS non-power 5: 63.6%

So how do we decipher this? I think as they march down the field, his and Harrell's rookieness show up as they march closer to the endzone. Against conference foes, he fared well (4 out of 5 complete games vs conference he was above 64%). He slung it a total of 72 times against UTSA and LaTech for around 69% (nice).

Statistically, he had some very good games, and some bad games and one awful game. He played like a roller coaster rookie.

Punt and kick returners do not take as many hits in a game as a QB, especially in a pass-based offense. He's a fearless enough player that he'd make a great returner.

Your stats show that his completion % decreases as we get into enemy territory. This makes sense when you factor in that he threw less than a touchdown per game and never threw multiple TDs in a game.

Up to three or the five wins last year occurred because Wilson went off in the 2nd half of the games. If we could have a QB that is consistent throughout an entire game - for an entire season's worth of games - we'd be tough to beat.

I just don't think that QB is Fine.

Same as it ever was.

If there's not a QB on the roster that, even at this point, appears to be lights out, head and shoulders better than the rest, then we're in very familiar territory.
