" Oh No! Weee suck again!"

[Green P1]

Yay

[H-towngreen]

Ugh...I'm sorry but hearing this news is a total buzzkill for the upcoming year. The fact that it took him, 2 year starter, Senior, Team Caprain, to the 2nd scrimmage of fall practice to emerge as the starter says enough.

Alright now let's give him some support.I will not bash him again.

So who's number 2? And does he see snaps in that first half against Idaho?

[outoftown]

Hmm not sure. should I feel stupid now for having considered that there may have been something to the coach speak, when probably it was clear all along that DT would be the starter?

[meangreener]

If DT can figure out how to get in the endzone...get it done.

He's okay until we get inside the 20.

5-7 looks promising

We're the NY Jets of college when it comes to our Qb situation

Alright now let's give him some support.I will not bash him again.

He has to show me he can be consistent on GAME DAYS before I can trust him to lead the offense...which I have NEVER seen him do week to week.

I will use a Vito standby...never count on someone doing something they've never done

He's usually referring to freshman and transfers, but I will refer to our SENIOR...2yr STARTER...QB...ugh

Doesn't surprise me. I don't believe this was some sort of coaching ploy, we just don't have a great QB situation.Whoever wins the job is going to have some serious question marks surrounding them.

If that's DT so be it. Nothing says he can't improve and have a good senior season. His past performance won't lead me to predict that but it can happen.

My whole thought process all along was that this wasn't going to be our year and we should get in a QB that was going to be here longer than one more year but deep down I figured DT would be the starter.

It's still a new season and I'll be optimistic.....for a while.

Hello, 4-8!

Great news to see the QB situation starting to settle down a bit leading into the Idaho game. I fully expected this outcome and am, for one, happy to see it take place. I think DT's senior leadership will emerge and we'll all see some more W's this season.

I would, however, not be surprised to see the other QB's get some playing time as well throughout the season.

WAY to go Derek!

Edit: Thanks Dr. Seuss...you caught my big time good on Derek's name spelling...I guess I know to many Derricks! Ha! Anyway...my bad...thanks!

I'm okay with this. Still see 6-6 in the cards. Not great. But it's okay. As long as Mac will open the freaking playbook.

I ain't this optimistic.

I'll be happy with whoever does the job expected and unhappy with whoever doesn't deliver on game day.

So, if he was named starter, it must have been for a reason. He earned it, and that means it is time to get behind our qb.

Way to earn the job Derek! Now, lets do something we haven't seen for 8 years.... Finish bowl eligible.... I am dieing for a trip to a bowl game in December or January! Go mean green!

The ones who are big Derek Thompson enthusiasts usually spell his name like that.
