The situation is bad but nothing actually needs to be burned.

Looking forward to starting the season off 1-3

Don’t forget about Gilmore at QB. I would expect him to be at least close to a similar level as Bean and Aune.

Word on the street is he is not the player we were hoping he would be.

Doubtful.

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

Yeah, I keep hearing Gilmore is not the guy. There's a reason Kentucky put a receiver in at QB before him.

Brune and Mitchell said he looked pretty good in practices and they think he’ll be around as good as them. I don’t think that Kentucky argument is a good enough evaluation on him. He was a redshirting true freshman and they went with getting the ball in the hands of a legit NFL talent. I don’t care if he wasn’t good enough to be an SEC QB as a true freshman. Two years of developing, can he be an adequate CUSA QB?

Check the dates. They won’t be our first 4 games.

[meangreen11]

Could Gilmore possibly play another position if QB does not work out for him here?

Or Bean for that matter.

He's not gonna have Darden to zero in on every play next season

Something tells me we might start the season off 1-3 regardless

I have heard from sources that this isn't true.  Guess time will tell.   Who is the NFL talent that he was stuck behind?

Don't get me wrong.  I hope they are all great, including Gilmore.  Just passing along what I have heard.

Wii be shocked if Gilmore is not the starter. 247, 2019, ranked 42 pro style qb. Picked Kentucky over Tennessee. "He is a gym rat , loves to lift, loves to work out." Per his HS coach. GMG

Lol maybe so. Hopefully not, because with the current state of this conference that could lead to a very ugly season.

Who is your source? 

The NFL talent was Lynn Bowden. They were 6-2 with him at QB running for 171 yards/game, so it wasn’t like any QB with a pulse should’ve been playing over him.

I don’t expect Gilmore to come in and win it, but I would think he would be good enough to at least nudge his nose into the race, more than Martin. If not, no worries as I think Drummond is our guy long term anyways.

I’m hearing Gilmore is kinda josh greer-ish 🥴

Not in a position to reveal as I was told this in confidence.

Lynn Bowden threw like 70 passes that year and was a converted wide receiver.  He did play QB in high school but was listed as an Athlete by recruiting services.  When you are highly touted, a converted WR should not be jumping in front of you.  Look, I hope he breaks every record at North Texas, but I will be surprised if that happens.

If Drummond starts before his RS Soph year I will be shocked.  No knock on the young man, but I just think it is a huge jump from Pawhuska to D1.  I also think the our history with Fine has people thinking this will be a common occurence.  

I don't care who starts as long as it is the best person for the job and they were all given a fair shake.  I just want to win.

Yikes. I played Greer in high school and couldn’t believe he had won the starting job. Thought maybe something major had changed. It hadn’t.

I’m sorry man, it was a joke. I know you’re not supposed to give sources, but you like to ask other people so I was just poking a little light-hearted fun.

Yeah I’m fine with Aune and Bean for another year, then if they still are completing 55% of their passes, give Drummond a chance. Also fine with Drummond taking over when he’s a redshirt junior. Anything Gilmore gives us is just a bonus IMO, but I don’t expect him to be completely hapless. Guess it looks like he might be, but at least we’re not too reliant in him.

I am still befuddled (thought this sounded good) on why Seth cannot attract a higher level QB through the portal or recruiting. He has shown that his offensive system can put up numbers and also a willingness to leave the QB in to be able to put up good numbers. Surprised we can't get a top talent FCS player, a good P5 who plays behind a "star", or another G5 who is at a school where they don't pass enough.
