Your Expectations for Josh Greer

pastorgrant · August 27, 2014

What is your opinion? I have seen some thoughts about how people think he will stack up to DT, but the opinions on DT here are wildly diverse, so I wanted to take that element out of the equation. I'm looking for what you expect for his career at UNT.

What say you?

It certainly says something that he came in and won the job over a 3 year guy in just a handful of months. I hope that means there's something special about him and not rather that he was the highest on the totem pole of suckage.

UNTDoubleAlum · August 27, 2014

I voted better than average, for similar reasons to what meangreenthirteen posted above. That being said, I really hope he is a World Beater. There is something about having a killer QB that does wonders for a team, and is fun to watch to boot.

at 3:25 and 3:45, I wanna see that all day.

the kid has pop and now some experience. I think he will be solid. Tall, strong, and agile/nimble.

I say win at UT or die. It's pretty black and white with me.

I said better than average

Not sure about my expectation, but my hope is that Greer improves steadily over the next 3 seasons and he eventually becomes a qb we can rely on to not just be a game manager, but rather a qb who we can ask to throw the ball 40 times in a game and score us a lot of points. A guy who can win us a game where the other team has a decent point total as well. We lost 3 games last year where we couldn't out score a team whose point total was in the 20s.

A lot of people are forgetting, Greer is a sophomore and could be our qb for the next 3 seasons. He's the present and the future. There's been a lot of talk and hype about the younger qbs on the roster (Dajon and Means), but if Greer takes care of business those guys will be backups for the next 3 seasons. Also, if Greer takes care of business those two and Mcnulty will be battling for the number 2 job next spring and there will be no qb competition for once.

We have a lot of young talent on this roster who are in prime position to get a lot of experience over the next few years as well. If we can get a qb who can win us games, we could very well be the front runner in CUSA west going forward. Hopefully Greer can be that guy.

No turnovers.

Mean Green 93-98 · August 27, 2014

No turnovers.

For his career? Man, that's a pretty high bar you set.

I say there is no way we can compare him to DT when it comes to success or numbers. We can compare him to style, speed, accuracy, power, technique, etc.

golfingomez · August 27, 2014

at least 1 appearance in the College Football Playoff

laxtonto · August 27, 2014

I said average. That is only because of its his first year and an average QB is much better than we think..

Average would be about 50 to 75 in a ranking on all FBS schools. I we are looking at it from just a production perspective, Ill take that any day of the week.

Harry · August 27, 2014

If people are going to compare Josh to DT they have to use DT's sophomore season as the comparison.

Yep.

And he's expected to appear like an NFL quarterback while playing quite possibly one of the best defenses this year in the big 12.

No pressure.

While many on here assume he will be better than DT first game because DT was a terrible bowl winning MVP QB.

No pressure at all...

Yeah I didn't read closely enough. I have no idea at this point what to think Greer will do yet.

my my my how wrong we all were he was all hype and suprize he was heavily recruited not once but twice by Chico. One career win at starter and only because SMU was a rotting corpse like another team I know of but his passes were high and wide and only completed because SMU corner backs let our wr's run back to the ball. Grate arm smoking fast ball but never could throw strikes. Enter Air Mcnaulty but that's a different chuckle.

Matt from A700 · December 3, 2015

Didn't realize this thread was from before last season at first and thought bad thoughts. Like we had somehow already named Greer our starter for 2016. I was about to jump ship.

sorry I was reading old history and had to mock our plan last year. We don't have a coach yet to set a depth chart . Is Greer returning next year or gone.

UNT90 · December 3, 2015

I would be shocked if Greer returned. I see a transfer to an FCS in his future, a move that would be good for both parties.

with a brand new slate and possibly a better coaching staff, I bet he stays. His dad already stated he has plans to coach down the line, so I expect him to stick around. Even when he us not on the field, if he plans on coaching, then he is working on his other career.

MCMLXXX · December 3, 2015

Expectations?! Don't talk about expectations! Are you kidding me? Expectations?! I'm just hoping we can win a game, another game!

he lacks skills needed for a decent qb if he some how went back to highschool he would have at best a hard time winning the starting job let alone starting for any college Division one two three or NAIA. Mac was wrong about dejon Mcnaulty and Demarcus and might have been wrong about Conner means but was right about Greer . As Randy Galloway " he's KP(KANT PLAY)"
