Fine Hype

[SigmaGreen]

So, yes, SMU happened and it was gut wrenching to see our offense be shut down the way they were. Do you think that with all the award watchlist and Heisman talk for Mason that he put an extreme amount of pressure on himself to perform at a higher level?  Therefore with this loss, do you think he recovers and just focuses on the game? I’m not saying that it DID get to his head but rather IF.

He’s human, he had a bad game. He will bounce back from this,  this SMU might put some more fire in his ass.

Lack of blocking protection had much to do with what happened with Fine at SMU.

We do have a retuning offensive line starter coming back against what will be a very tough game vs the Cal-Berkeley Bears this Saturday.

Great point. I like Fine as much as everyone else but a person can have a bad game. When he has a bad game everyone blames the OC or the line, which is fair. But when he has his "normal" games neither the OC or the line seems to get any credit.

He had a bad game and the OC didn’t put him in a good place to succeed.

Agree

Thats why I have a lot of respect for Mason when he blamed himself yesterday and praised his offensive line. I think people go into to fantasy mode thinking Fine is a one man show and in reality it’s not. But QB is a popular position by fans.

This is what I think will happen too.

Not really. He babied the football back there far too long, even on completions. He was not as decisive with the football as he has been and looked frankly confused at times. 

[PlummMeanGreen]

Was going to add that no receptions to his top receiver might suggest something was dreadfully out of kelter. Not even the quick route/quick pass kind of play that defeated UTSA 2 years ago. 

In 1990 it was the short, quick pass routes from Davis to Erick Pegram & others that helped put SMU away at a packed Fouts Field in a game that was even televised locally with Merle Harmon & Alan Stone as the broadcasters.

With all that happened, one thing is more clear than ever  .... SMU still sucks!!!!

[RBP79]

Mason Fine does have bad games/half. Perhaps the Smut game will provide the lesson learned/ motivation to move forward and be competitive.

SL and company ( coaches) didn't set this team up for success against SMU.

[untjim1995]

It didn’t help Fine that SMU’s defense got to come after him as their lead kept building up. Our defense did no favors for Fine.

With all the amount of quarterbacks getting hurt this year, starters and backups, does this increase Masons chances of getting drafted higher? I still think he goes 2nd or 3rd round.  What do you all think?

No way he goes before the 4th round. I say 6th

Let's see where the dust falls after this season. He's got 9 + more games to make his case.

Even with that, aren't there two 4th-6th round draftees who are getting playing time right now? Wild times...

If the Cowboys Dak Prescott went down would you want a Mason Fine with 1 summer of Oxnard under his belt or the 2’nd string guy they have now?   (Keep in mind that the Cowboys have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL).

I really hope someone takes a shot on him, but the odds are that he’ll go undrafted. He’s way outside of the top 10 in most QB rankings I've seen.  

If he was 6-3, he might be a 3rd or 4th round QB, but he’s not. Lots of good QBs in the college game, even if Masons numbers are up near the top.
