This is the best qb that I have seen at UNT in the last 30 years.  If he stays healthy and stays for the 2 years, all records will be broken.

I think Mason Fune, DT and Chandler Rogers would like a word with you.  

DT was decent, but I wouldn’t put him in the same category as the other 2.

DT had a heroic performance in a bowl win; so in that respect, he beats out the other 2.

But generally as a QB, and statwise, he doesn't compare to the other 2.

Yep. He had a bad arm and threw for 439 and 5 scores. I saw it the first game. His upside is so high. Upgrade over last year's Chandler 4 and he was a good QB

I would love to see all those guys have a shot in the Eric Morris offense. It’s really not a fair comparison to just look at stats between the McCarney, Dickey, and even Littell offenses and try to compare them to the Morris offenses. This is such a different level.

Just watching the games so far, Chandler Morris is the most talented QB I have ever seen at UNT. His release, accuracy and mobility put him ahead of all others.

The only question left is how he will perform in big games and can he stay healthy. That is something that has been lacking here for many years (big game performance, not health).

Imagine if our OL was a tad better

To be honest, the OL was really good in pass protection. I think it was just their run blocking and opening holes that was lacking. Luckily it didn't matter.

I'll take heat from this but I mentioned it in previous threads about Chandler Rogers so whatever. That guy performed great when games were out of reach. His greatest performances were comeback attempts that fell short. Electric? Yes. Could he consistently lead and sustain scoring drives early against good teams? No. He put us in huge holes with those first half performances. I can't say the same about Morris so far, minus the Tech game.

I had to watch the game after the fact last night because I am out of town, but some of the calls on our OL were ridiculous.

Chandler is tied for 2nd in school history in career 400-yard passing games with 2, in just his first 5 starts.

Also, since that last pick against Tech where the ball hit off our receiver and got batted up 15 feet in the air, Morris has thrown 88 passes with 8 touchdowns against 0 interceptions.

The outside receiver play has been pretty unreliable with Ward and Aaron out/limited during that time. Really excited to see us get some guys healthy and back to full speed over this bye week.

Morris > Fine 

Mason Fine in THIS offense with HIS receivers would have resulted in a trip to NYC for the Heisman presentation. Not saying he would win, but that would have been a phenomenon.

Now, what Morris is working with at receiver is not anywhere near what we were running out there with Fine: multiple guys who have had pretty decent runs in the NFL.

And the bidding for Chandler Morris next season probably starts at $2M.
Remember he actually beat out a guy who ended up being the Heisman runner-up a few years ago. 
My prediction is CM lands a deal for $3M+ at Auburn, which still has fond memories of his Dad and desperately needs a quarterback. 
But he may be the hottest free agent on the market next season. Which means our next guy should be pretty good too.

That kind Ewers money is big considering  Morris’s his past injuries. Would be a big gamble.

Oh no! We have to endure quarterback play that produces school records and leave the replacing of that QB up to the coach who has developed 2 of the top 5 passers in the FBS right now!

Yeah I don't know that CM4 has had nearly the WR health at X and Z that MF (Bussey, Guyton) or CR did (Maclin). Add Aune to that number as well. It is quite impressive and why I was saying he was a clear upgrade over CR.

Malachi Flynn (Boise St. backup qb/ highly rated coming out of HS/ lost qb battle). I bet he’d want to resurrect his career. Why not come here and let EM develop you in a spread offense that’s had really good results. 

SMU backup qb (forgot his name) who got benched for Jennings. I bet he’d like to get another opportunity to prove Rhett Lashley wrong. Why not in an air raid system?

Maybe you should watch the first half again.

I agree. Feels clear now.

Ward, Conwright, and Aaron is a serviceable outside trio but not much behind them. Hopefully we can give Morris an A+ for playing without two of them for most of these last two games, but also not make him have to deal with that again.

Also I know Morris has one more season of eligibility and I wonder if that could entice a solid transfer to come in and play outside wideout.

      N.O. Bowl: SHSU (9-3) vs Ga. Southern (8-4), 6:00pm ESPN-2....UNT's future Defense on display!

      Difference between the Jack Cassity uses and the "Devil" linebacker we ran a few years back? Looks like more of the same with a different name. About the conversion rates, I found an article from this September but only about run plays on 3rd/4th and 1. The discussion was running out of the shotgun vs under center. Either way, the conversion rate was between 68% and 75%. All run plays, whether shotgun or under center, and RB runs from the shotgun were converted at about 75%. Run only from under center was closer to 68%. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5771435/2024/09/17/college-football-short-yardage-analysis/

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Student turnout is absolutely embarrassing. A Mean Green basketball game should be an absolute EVENT for the student body: even on Christmas break. Most of these kids live in DFW and would enjoy an opportunity to get away from their parents for an evening. An easy connection that has not been made here is with the Greeks. Did you see all the High Point Greek pledges wearing suits to the basketball game when we played them at their place? Why aren’t OUR Greeks competing throughout the season to show the most support for the basketball team/athletic program? The winner gets their letters displayed prominently inside the Super Pit/DATCU, gets their own commercial on the video board and Hell, Mosley should be putting up his own $$ as a cash award to incentivize this. There could be Greek basketball All-Star games at halftime or after our game to encourage attendance and get the whole community out. We gotta find a way to get consistent Greek attendance at these games. And once you have that base of students who are always there, it can turn into a snowball effect.

      I would imagine that against a true double tight end set or heavier formation he has the ability for that Jack to end up being an actual defensive lineman, but in today's game the need to be able to multiple based on formations, offenses etc. Jack LB's end up being the nice in between. Yeah you give up some on 3rd or 4th and short but the idea is that 1st and 2nd down you keep them in less favorable down and distances by having a more athletic guy on the field. I believe last season nationally the percentages on 3rd and 2 or less was like 68 percent conversion rate offensively. I as much as anyone want to see a defense on the field we can be proud of. Just like the HOD Bowl championship defense. The reality is though if you're living in 3rd and short as a defense you probably aren't getting very many stops.

      I hear you, but this is the AD's JOB. It is what they get paid to do to. They should have goals/objectives around these metrics and strategies/programs to achieve them. What are the goals? What are they doing to achieve them? We (the collective fan base) pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $9,000,000 a year in overall AD salaries, compensation and bonuses. Throw in another $4,000,000 or so annually in "overhead and administrative expenses." Fund raising, marketing and promotion is a little over $900K (total for all sports). I wonder how much is going to promote basketball to the local community?

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      I agree overall. Was just thinking out loud. If I'm a P4 school and there's still scholarship limits, I'd probably rather take the high school freak athlete. Now, maybe I could give the other guy an NIL deal to pay for school as a PWO but how many of those guys would be scholarship worthy talents. Don't know why you think it's so improbable. Look at a guy like Phil Knight and Oregon. He could buy a couple pro teams if he wanted to pay 27 year olds to play ball and get bragging rights. The more we remove ourselves from college sports, I think it's reasonable to wonder if guys like him lose interest. Not saying we're there yet. Just saying it's not impossible...
