I never had a problem with Bean's arm, to me he threw a better ball than Aune, not sure if his decision making was the best, but i think he got an unnecessarily bad rap here.

Man, this is a crazy statement. He was nowhere near as accurate, I guess you could try and say his ball had more zip on it, I disagree, but who cares how far or hard you can throw it when it’s not accurate??  
 

Like was stated earlier, unless Bean was out of the pocket with no one in front of him, he couldn’t hit a deep receiver to save his life. He always had happy feet in the pocket.  
 

That being said, that’s also on our coaching staff for not doing a better job of moving him out of the pocket. IMO, almost every play we ran with him in should’ve been a Zone Option Read/Pass. He should’ve been outside the pocket where the threat of his legs might’ve opened up some receivers. 
 

Much like UT did early on in VY’s career. (I know he is nowhere near as talented)

Ummm he was the starter at the beginning of last season…and Littrell kept trying to put him in until he realized he just couldn’t. It takes some SERIOUS revisionist history to think Aune was the

Finally, we have the junior transfer from North Texas, Jason Bean. Even though he doesn’t have any experience with Kansas football, he appears to be the one in the quarterback’s room with the most col

What’s the status of the Quarterback room

Even though the first game is only a mere four days, Leipold has yet to name a starting quarterback for the season-opener.

Although the Jayhawks return redshirt senior Miles Kendrick and sophomore Jalon Daniels, North Texas transfer redshirt junior Jason Bean has thrown himself into the mix for the starting job. 

“It’s always possible that you could see multiple quarterbacks,” Leipold said recently. 

Although Kendrick and Daniels lacked consistency last year in the Jayhawks’ winless campaign, Leipold has seen improvements from all three. 

“For them to slowly get understanding and command with confidence, to help people get lined up and what motions were doing and things, let alone the reads and everything that’s happening, we are starting to see those things happen…” 

Leipold went on to say that he has been impressed with Bean over the course of the spring into the summer. 

“[He has a] better understanding and confidence in the huddle,” Leipold said recently. “He’s getting more confident in seeing things, his accuracy has improved, he continues to show his athleticism with his feet.”

The Jayhawks are set to open their 2021 campaign Friday, Sept. 3 at David Booth Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

I think it would be great to see Jason light it up at Kansas if he gets the nod.  Once a member of the Mean Green family, always a member (unless we meet on the gridiron, of course).

Thanks, Keith…ugh. I planned on turning my frown upside down in regards to the quarterbacks because it’s game week and then you post that. 
 

In fairness I looked up Fine’s first year comp pct and it was 59.4. So maybe Aune can show improvement as well.

So our part-time starter will possibly be KU starter. Highlights the state of KU football. 

I gotta say...  I'll keep my eye on him up there.   

I think we all doubt any success at all in Kansas, but let's see.   If he balls out and has a great season up there, I'll be happy for him.

Maybe we misused his talents here? No QB coach, no OC…

Not saying it is the case but we should consider the possibility.

I hope he does well. Not sure what type of team he has supporting him

Maybe...but it seems whatever coaching he received at NT put him in a good spot to step right in and compete for a starting job.  Doubt he does that at KU right out of high school.

I always leaned toward Bean over Aune. Now, I just hope Aune has improved his ball placement.

Fine's % was partly in due to his Romo-esque run-around and throw it up style early on. Aune sometimes struggled to put it within reach on a screen or a hitch. If I see the same struggles this weekend I am gonna need to speak to a manager.

So we have the top Offense in the conference, we do have an OC (Mike B) and Seth.
Maybe the problem JB wanted to put JB before the team

You will, but some simply can’t get past their initial assessment and secretly wish bad things on a young man (and crap on KU football) because it’s easier than “I may have been wrong”

Not sure his success or failure at KU equates to anyone here being right or wrong.  Players often transfer and find success at their new school.  
 

I agree that’s it’s pretty bad to wish him failure.

What's bad is those same folks will overlook his on-field play, which was decent, just to zero in on his sideline demeanor after being benched, like they wouldn't be pissed about it too.    The kid's a competitor.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      If everything will go the way you think it will go then why do we play the games or even schedule games with spreads over 14 points? The underdogs in College Football are in a perpetual no win situation. Get the upset there in the regular season are a ton of excuses and devaluation of what your program accomplished. Close loss then the naysayers devalue that also (SMU vs Clemson and the push to shoe in Alabama a team that lost to the Tennessee team that got blown out by Ohio State). I want teams to prove it on the field. And since the big brand teams have always been invested in scheduling the easiest path to the post season. NOT EVEN APPEARING in your conference championship game should be majorly punitive. So I don’t give a crap what people think Alabama (or anyone else would do). They lost to Vandy and a bad OU team. And they could have scheduled a decent FBS team instead of home scrimmages against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Or they could kept a SEC conference membership where they play more than half of the teams in the conference in a season. The worst aspect of boxing that killed it popularity was the ranking organizations a chicken hearted scheduling. I hate subjectivity in sports that have easy scoring rules. And putting in a team that didn’t appear in their conference championship game in a better playoff position than a conference champion or championship game loser is 100% based on subjectivity if the teams did not play head to head and have the same win/loss record. Maybe I will be in the minority of College Football fans over 35. But I will have no interest in the opening round of CFP if they start routinely subjectively punishing Conference Champions over teams that failed to appear in their conference title game. Go look at the SEC standings; even arguing Alabama over Ole Miss getting that spot is subjective garbage. Both are 9-3 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. But almost universally people are lamenting Alabama not being included. The stupidity and greed of the SEC had border state rivals in the same conference not play each other this year. 🙄. To me that is the outrage. Maybe if they had played each other we one of them would be in the playoff and SMU fans couldn’t have had a reasonable protest if that happened.

      I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not. Edit: I posted before seeing this which is definitely good news.

      Only 2 of our 22 starters from our last game against Temple are in the portal. The high school guys who Morris have signed have pretty much all stayed, except for the guys who weren’t getting any playing time. Out of the 2023 and 2024 high school signees signed by Morris, Tyler Mercer is the only one to start and hit the portal. The other 2023 and 2024 HS Signees who have played extensively, Braydon Nelson, Brian Nelson, Evan Jackson, Landon Sides, Miles Coleman, Wyatt Young, Jaedon Langley, Taylor Starling, Quinton Hammonds have all played extensively or started as underclassmen the last two seasons and all seem pretty committed to the program. It seems your chances of keeping a starter is far higher if that guy is someone your HC signed out of high school. It’s a stronger relationship.
