What's wrong with Thompson?

[UNTcrazy727]

Playing really bad tonight. No sugar coating it.

[Got5onIt]

I remember him playing this way most of last year. Slow release, average arm, & inaccurate. Yes, I'm not sugar coating it.

i agree, not as strong as normal. He seems to play great during big games and average against lower tier teams.

[BadKarma]

This is ominous.

[CaribbeanGreen]

He's currently 9-20 against a defense that Prairie View SHREDDED. No bueno.

Also, Brown is an absolute drive killer tonight. 1 yard PC. Looks worlds behind Byrd and Jimmerson right now.

[Greenhorn]

Looking from the stands he appears to only see recievers once they are open and not before..he does not throw them open. By the time he throws it, its to late. Although he did miss to recievers in the end zone on back to back throws. I'm pulling for him though.

[H-towngreen]

He had some absolute ducks tonight, could've thrown 4 picks against better competition

[smoothfresh]

Not a good night for DT. Has to check down and not key in on the primary receiver. I'll stay positive but this can't occur in conference play.

[H-towngreen]

Everyone still so sure that DT is the sure fire starter next season over Berglund?

[foutsrouts]

The two throws to Chancellor in the end zone were definitely over thrown, but the 25-30 yarder to Bynes in the 3rd should have been caught, because it was a perfect pass that Bynes apparently didn't see. Not a great night for him overall regardless.

[MDH]

Tonight he wasn't the best QB we could've put out there, this is the DT I remember. I'm not sure what happened with that Troy game last year where he looked so good.

[MeanGreen01]

i'm a DT fan since he is the best we have right now. i'm also very excited about having Burgland though. He seems like the perfect QB for Canalas's offense. It will be a battle come next spring that will only make them both better. This is what Coach Mac said we needed, depth and competition within the various positions. Good stuff

[golfingomez]

DT was off pretty badly tonight... As excited as I was about the loss against Lsu, I am disaappointed after this win

[CaliMeanGreen]

A win is a win... Most of the second half we played a lot of formations without a WR. We have a really solid OL and 3 new RB's. Get the experience. Beat KSU. Either way.. DT did not have a great day. He will battle back

[cl_1_2008]

He had a rough day. Give the guy a break. At least it came against a team we were going to beat regardless. He'll correct the mistakes this week and come back strong next week. And yes H-Town, DT is still the sure-fire starter next year. Berglund couldn't even beat out a JUCO scrub and you just wanna hand him the offense? Get real.

I have faith DT will get everything squared away.

[James329]

Very discouraging. This can't be ignored. This is a game where he should be able to build confidence. He was so bad they pretty much had to abandon the pasting game, either to not hurt his confidence, to not show too much offensively, or to flat win the game. The kid is a leader and he will battle, but that's disheartening from a junior QB on a young team. This team will need a lot better than that if they think they will even sniff 6 wins.

[foutsrouts]

He wasn't all that bad. Those two over throws to Chancellor in the end zone just stood out like a sore thumb. Well, a couple of others also, as well as the ridiculous pop fly throw away, but I'm thinking that he will get it together. Don't exactly know why I think that, except that I've seen him play a much better QB in the past.

[James329]

To his credit, DT started slow last year as well. The LSU game, like the Bama game, didn't really allow DT to do much...besides that awesome slant and a few throws. However, this is a game they didnt have on the schedule last year where I think he could have developed some chemistry with his receivers and gained some confidence heading into 2 tough games. Just expected a better showing. He was definitely off.

I think Berglund could manage 10-22 against TSU. But he adds in the other dimension with the ability to run that Canales loves. Look back at his USF days with Matt Grothe and BJ Daniels

Well, that's great that you think that. But I'll reserve my judgment until I actually see him play. If he was half as good as some of y'all seem to think, he probably could have won a starting job at a junior college. And it's not like he got beat out by some stud that couldn't qualify for D-1 schools. Thompson had a rough game, there's no denying that. But the rush to replace him with a guy we know nothing about (other than he was a highly rated recruit, which we've seen time and time again means little to nothing), is flat-out comical.

Berglund has not played one down of college football and you want to hand him the job?

DT will be the starter next year.

He had a bad game. Sadly, against bad competition. Hopefully he learns and improves.

[GrandGreen]

If you are going to have a bad game, this was the game to do it. The wind seemed to be a big factor for all QB's, and frankly the wrs for the most part were not getting open. Delgado and Bynes both looked slow and were not getting open. Chancellor was pretty much taken out of the game by coverages which should have left the other wrs more open.

Thompson definitely had an off game but I am more worried about the wr position.

[trussbussdad]

And dont forget the kid coming if from south texas....Sure DT is a great leader...he neads "mechanics" help....slow release and throwing off his back foot ..leaning back. Looses alot of velocity.

[Texas Stranger]

A bad game complicated by a case of playbookitits. We can't recall one screen pass the last two weeks (RB or WR). Overheavy on the run the last two weeks as well. That won't continue.
