T-Mac's solution to NT's QB problems

[GreenBat]

If North Texas can borrow Denton Guyer soph QB Shawn Robinson for the rest of the season, Mean Green will be CUSA champs.

And the f'd up thing about that tweet of his, is that he's probably right and that's shameful for this coaching staff.

[Mean Green 93-98]

Well, if he's joking, it's kind of funny, I suppose. Which he obviously is.

But seriously suggesting that you could pop a high school sophomore into the lineup and expect FBS-level results is unrealistic. In high school in 2011, Josh Greer threw for 2691 yards, 24 TDS against 11 Int's, and 16.3 yards per attempt.

[Ben Gooding]

A high school QB could have performed better than our QB's did last night. I kind of think that's what he was getting at. He saw we have a good D and weapons on O and just insinuated the statement of "only if."

[Ben Gooding]

There wasn't a worse performance by the QB position in maybe the history of CFB. 3-17 15 yards 4 interceptions does not get any worse. I mean McNulty forced one in there late that was dropped, so it actually could have been worse I suppose. We could have thrown 5 picks.

A better performance would have been 0-0 0 yards 0td's 0int's. We should have just ran those 17 attempts. We would have had over 100 yards of offense bc the sacks would have been negated plus a little more yardage on those 17 attempts. That would have also ate more clock. That would have been a better game plan than the shit show we witnessed last night. Should have went Dickey on them once they realized that our QB's were shittin' their britches.

NT's offense gained more yardage vs. Texas than out next opponent, SMU, did against Baylor.

Hell, I wondered if I could have played better. And my only past history of qb was leading a residence hall coed team to the top in league play. Let's do this!

[Ben Gooding]

I am 27 and in shape. I know I could have thrown for damn 15 yards. If Mac is giving another scholly out for a QB who can't throw I'm available.

UNT vs. SMU might be a 0-0 tie.

You really couldn't have though.

[DeepGreen]

I guess our turnover ratio took a hicky?

i really wish we could set this up... the results would be hilarious

[golfingomez]

i mean... it seems like Mac needs to call up Bill Snyder for advice on how to win games using the QB as little as possible

[Ben Gooding]

No, really...15 yards. Are we respecting 15 yards or something. How dare I say that I could throw for 15 yards. I would have hit my hot route every damn play. On the 3rd &4 when McNulty was in there UT brought 7...Jimmy flared out of the backfield wiiiiide open and MnNulty ate the football and crumpled before UT even got to him. toss that ball up to Jimmy...That would have been 15 yards, if not more. When getting bullrushed that quickly the first thought on a QB's mind should be safety valve instantly...McNultty's first instinct was, "Oh shit. "

could you rush for a 100 yards against Grambling too?

And I can throw this football over that mountain...

Don't preclude the possibility that our defense will score.

I have found something the great Ben Gooding CAN'T DO!!!

Shut up and quit complaining.

lol

We have football alumni, 5+ years removed from their eligibility, running circles around our most athletic message board posters in the GMG.com Spring games.

You can be a straight shooter, and I bet that's fun and all, but this is absurd.

EDIT: Kudos if this was sarcasm?

I am totally sure Ben would stay bravely in the pocket as a 300lb defensive lineman makes a beeline for his chest.

Of all your posts (and 1,526 posts in a couple of months might be a record) this one is the best.

Tried to do +1 and hit -1 by mistake. Can someone toss him a +1 for me?

Got it. +1
