A QB leader emerges ..

[KRAM1]

I'm not sure I know who Derrick is, but I do know who Derek is...

Thanks...my bad...fixed it in my orginal post...guess I know too many Derricks and not enough Derek's. ha! Anyway...good news here for this fan!

[KRAM1]

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

yep...they really should be crucified...it pretty much is up there with the fall of Rome ... historically speaking. At least the haters seem to get the spelling correct. That's something i guess. My error...sorry.

[GoMeanGreen1999]

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

McNulty is my guess. Followed by the Freshman and then BB.

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 have never seen LEADERSHIP complete a pass...

The fact that it took Thompson, a 2 year starter, Senior, Team Caprain, to the 2nd scrimmage of fall practice to emerge as the starter says enough.

This QB race is wreaking havoc on people's ability to type.

Could not of said it better myself...

Is it not strange that UNT was to good to offer Scotty a scholarship, while he's the starter at LA Tech, our #13 rated QB is on the bench... I thought recruiting wasn't going to be an issue??

Nothing wrong with that, just an observation I noticed.

Anyways, why do we have to be haters? I don't think he's a good qb but he plays for us so I support him when he's in the game. Just because I'm not a fan of his game doesn't mean I want him to do bad.

[BillySee58]

McNulty is my guess. Followed by the Freshman and then BB.

That's what I'm thinking. If Mcnulty is number 2 then I doubt anyone else sees snaps against Idaho.

[H-towngreen]

I hope they wouldn't burn DJW redshirt if he is the 3rd string QB.

[Mean Green 93-98]

I hope they wouldn't burn DJW redshirt if he is the 3rd string QB.

Agreed. Not unless he is forced into playing by injuries.

[SilverEagle]

I'm all for him from 20 to 20. After we get inside the red zone, someone else needs to take the wheel.

I am afraid come Oct. 19th we will look back and really wonder why we didn't offer.

Oct 19th? I'm afraid of feeling like that Aug 31st.

Glad for DT and trust the coaching staff with this decision #hit6

[meangreener]

I don't even care. Just freaking win.

ok that bridge looks 15 ft tall.

Friends of yours?

Suck!

Friends of yours?

It may be 15 feet but there's a roadway that is really uneven and can really hurt landing the wrong way...

good god everyone is whining on here...

from what it sounds like, everyone who has been watching these guys has Thompson begged as the better player at the position right now... you guys sound as if youd rather have a different qb in there just because his name isn't thompson

DT has had flashes of brilliance, and hopefully this year, he can get into more of a rhythm early in games, have receivers he can trust throwing the ball too and also not only be allowed to pass when it's 3rd and 8-10

you got this DT, set some records and get us to a bowl game this year

"Flashes of brilliance"

Uh...might want to tap the breaks on that one

[El Paso Eagle]

Trying to follow the bouncing ball

Most thought that BB was going to be the man …

The last few days DW has been the next great thing ….

Now we seem to be back at DT ….

Look, I realize I might get blasted but sorry I cannot find a pair of glasses with green enough lenses to see why things will be any different this year with DT. This is not a case where DT raised his game (I can’t remember reading where anyone commented that DT’s making better throws, better reads, etc.) it looks like what has not worked for the past two years is still the best we have.

I HOPE MORE THAN ANYTHING THIS TURNS OUT TO BE WRONG

Brief flashes.

But he beat the other guys out so he should be starter.

[UNT90]

I bet you we run the ball on the first 3 first downs against Idaho. Same QB, same offense, unfortunately.

And that isn't DT's fault, by the way.
