First of all, I hope that Aune and Ruder push one another enough to improve overall QB play. So that if something tragic happens during the season, there is not a fall off the cliff in overall QB performance. I'll have to disagree with Mr. Go about the value of scrimmages. If you are able to attended the non-advertised scrimmages (audiences generally not invited) in the spring and fall, you can get a great opportunity to assess everyone's abilities.......and potential.

As much as I like Torrey as a RB, I think that what I'm reading about what the coaches are doing with him (working him in as a part-time slot receiver) is more ideal. Torrey is absolutely at his best when he has more space to work with. Get the ball in his hands in a one-on-one with a DB or LB and he could be very devastating.......more so than he already is. He could be almost as effective as Darden was.....almost. Of course, he has better tackle-breaking ability than Darden, so maybe he could be just as effective. So I have to rate Mr. Attaway and Mr. Johnson as the most ideal RB's just running from scrimmage.

If the O-line doesn't live up to it's "potential" this year, all this debate about Ruder, Aune, Drummond...and don't forget Martin, is fairly moot. It'll then go back to the old situation of whoever can get rid of the ball fastest, or run for his life and throw on the run best, or just make a few yards running on a broken play.

AND, just as important as the QB situation is the development of the DL this season. I'm just as interested in this.....and just as concerned.

Very good Post!

You’re right, Criswell wasn’t going to get playing time over Howell, he was only going to get more than Shanbour, I mean Ruder. You got me all confused now that I know Ruder is good as Shanbour was. I am glad that you finally put it out there that Mason is every bit as good as Baker Mayfield. I appreciate your commentary. I was a big Shanbour and Mason fan so I look forward to continued mentorship for our other quarterbacks.

So let me get this straight! Your advice to Ruder would be to waste another year of Eligibility at UNC, in hopes that he may or may not get the starting gig after Howell leaves. Got it! Great Advice!

I’m hearing Aune has been with 1st team more this week. My starters predictions are going to change next week

If this is true, then we are doomed, any word on Adaway playing with the ones, or is it still Torrey?

You all have no idea about a lot of stuff and it is quite amusing. The best one will play and that’s the way it should be and nobody that is posting on this board will have any control over it.

😂😂. Welcome to GMG.com! This isn’t breaking news.

So we can expect your final update somewhere in the middle of the first quarter of the game 😈😇

No, my advice is for you to be a Mean Green fan first and a Jace Ruder fan second. Nobody knows who will be better when we get to game time. We just have to wait and see. If you truly love the Mean Green like I do, you’ll want the best person for this offense to start, regardless of where they came from or what accolades they attained elsewhere.

It’s about 50/50. Both should get a ton of PT.

And no we aren’t doomed. Aune isn’t Andrew McNulty, he is a talented player. From what I’ve been told, who I would consider very reliable, Aune has had a great week. Unless he throws like 3 picks against SMU, he’ll probably be the starter for the year.

I bet Amani Gilmore didn't come to NT to back up Aune either... but here we are.

I appreciate your zeal for Mr. Ruder. And you could very well be right, but excuse me for being a little skeptical of our newest poster declaring Ruder the starter over Aune.

They are not connected.

Anyone who even thinks Aune should start or given the opportunity to start should be put to pasture. Id rather roll with Drummond than go with Aune, thats how strongly I feel about this.

Clearly you feel strongly about your this, there are 110 replies to this topic and 42 are from you..

We all want the best players on the field, we all want the Mean Green to win every game, we are on the same page. But calling people homers, starting your replies with LOL, suggesting that people who disagree with your opinions need to be put out to pasture isn't the best way to go about things.

I appreciate the fire! Don't accept the past 2 seasons as normal! Light a fire in people's ass and demand championships!

Obviously I hope we win, and this is jokes, but part of me really hopes Aune goes out and throws a pick six first drive on Sep. 4 just to drive a certain someone in this thread to the brink of madness.

Unfortunately that scenario would drive many of us to madness regardless of the name on the jersey.

I wish Seth would read this and start Kason Martin. Talk about madness

I get it that you like and enjoy average qb play from a former baseball player in a bad division, but you clearly don't get it.
