Why no more love for Bean?

[meangreen11]

He had the start and calmly commandeered three series for three touchdown passes.  He should be given the starting nod for that alone.  I thought he did a great job last night.  You guys are way too critical of him.

[TheColonyEagle]

I actually thought he looked good for his first start. I see no reason for him not to keep the starting job.

And he showed a glimmer of what could be game changing and that's his speed.

He did earn the starting job last night, and the right to not be pulled for Aune unless he just isn’t getting it done. That being said, a lot of fans have commented on how many of his passes last night may have been interceptable against FBS competition.

He has thrown 5 interceptions in 55 career passes now. An interception every 11 passes is not sustainable, so that’s where the trepidation is on the board with him as our QB imo. He definitely looked better than in previous appearances, and his dynamic ability is apparent. I think the trepidation will be there from a lot of the fan base until he shows he can put together solid games while slowing his turnover rate against FBS competition.

Name 3 QB's in the last 15 years better than Bean. Mason is a gimme.  D. Thompson maybe. Anyone else? 

He will suffer by comparison this year, but he is head and shoulders better than almost anything we've had. He will just continue to get better.

I mean, I have a lot of faith in the guy, but if we are rating QBs after one start, then Dajon Williams was better.

Such a low bar with that question. lol

Fine, Thompson, and .....

 

Bean had a fine first start, and I think he did enough to get the start against SMU. But, some of those big throws he completed will be picks against FBS caliber secondaries. He has to be more disciplined, and make smarter choices with the ball.

Way too early for this back and forth but Mason Fine would have been sacked twice last night.

That is actually a fair point.

Yep

I believe he was sacked twice in the opener last year.

I am happy they made a decision for a real starter. I like Bean, but I would also have been ok with Aune. Considering this was his first full start, I thought it was quite nice. The decision was necessary. And unless he starts making many boneheaded mistakes he should be given some rope.

Against a number of other teams some of those throws might have been picks. But they were not in this game, and you can't really punish him for almost mistakes that ended up going for TDs. Doesn't mean  we can't be worried about it.

That said, even Mason threw a lot more picks in his first year than in the subsequent ones. Its just at that time we had been so starved for even decent QB play, we were very willing to forgive. Now the expectations are way different. That is mostly a good thing. But it can be overdone.

Not down on Bean but need to see him against better competition.  Our receivers were too much for HBU. SMUT will tell us a lot.

[MGNation92]

I thought Bean looked good for the most part. He did make a few throws to the flat/quick out that probably should have been picked.

His running ability is definitely dynamic. I think Littrell actually moved fast yesterday for the first time in 5 years. Made Bean's job easier with the quick reads

I am concerned he'll turn the ball over more against FBS competition but I didn't get enough of Aune to really tell if he'll be any better.

I don't care who starts as long as we keep winning

This!

It's one start against a much less talented team with some very questionable throws that would not have worked against better competition.  He did look much better than any other time I've seen him but lets not put him in the UNT HoF just yet. 

[PlummMeanGreen]

Can’t remember the last time we had a QB with Bean’s sprinters speed.
I concur with those on GMG who said they’d  like to see #5 zoom the short-to-middle range passes more  as to prevent Pick 6 interceptions against better FBS competition. 
SMU will be a stiff test—Houston even moreso, but that is what I believe we’re recruiting toward with as good a venues versus those we recruit against.

GMG!

PS:  GrayEagle, I was looking for you where Silver Eagle says your usually sit.  Were you at Apogee last evening?

When he runs, he's probably the fastest guy on the field.  That will help the offense get more creative - GMG!

[SilverEagle]

You obviously looked up the stats before coming up with the number 3.  INMO, the answer is that there are not three, but there is one Giovanni Vizza. And Daniel Meager still holds the single game record for passing yards.......601. And I believe that game was his first full start.

[Cr1028]

Y’all really gotta stop with this. A Mike Canales led offense put 500 yards on them last season. Let’s see if they can produce against a live FBS defense before we crown anyone.

 I’ve seen this show before.

Nope. Just remember how great he played before leaving Dodge's program. Aside from Medoza's defense, those were some great games.

So 220 less yards than last night?

Yes 220 less than UNT put on them this year but also 225 more than UTEP put on our defense last year. I’m sure you and everyone else were very high on our defense last year which is why Ref is still with us. I hope you are catching the sarcasm. 
 

The point is that HBU’s defense is pathetic, even worse than ours was last year. When a terrible offense like Canales’ puts up 500 yards on somebody, you know that defense is trash. Now if wet put any where close to 700 yards up on SMU I will eat my words. Heck, if put up over 500 and win the game I will eat my words but at this point no quarterback on this team has proved anything except that they could be a great FCS quarterback while throwing to FBS receivers. The next game will be the first time we really learn something useful about this team.

I guess I don't understand what we SHOULD have done

900 yards?

what should TTech do next week?
