Quarterback 2015??

Re: Quarterback 2015??

You do understand that Dunne is a redshirt freshman...correct? I'm as big of a Dunne fan of anyone (love him), but I would not hand the keys to him...just yet.

Because it worked so poorly with Sanders and Kollmorgen?

We all know that Farley will start Kollmorgan after they start 1-4. Because that is how you build for the future.

If Dunne can sling it I would like to have him wear cement shoes, tell him throw it or get sacked but you will not run it.

Re: Quarterback 2015??

How SK or ED are not our starting QB and we end up losing in Ames is baffling. You have two solid QB options and decide to go Plan C with AB? The offense looks good in spring and you decide to go back to our do nothing offense from the past several seasons? This is 100% on Farley and I have supported him all along, but that ends if this mess continues.

Last year we won despite Carnes and it was the ugliest football possible on offense. This year we don't have DJ and won't win without a QB who can throw.

I realize you're half joking, but a QB with some escapability/mobility is a good thing. What's not a good thing is falling in love with the concept so much that you'll start a guy who should really be playing RB or WR. If Bailey doesn't improve, that's what we have.

Jim Nelson just posted this from the press conference today:

@Nelley13
Dalton Demos, who moved to wide receiver last Monday will remain in QB mix at least thru UNI's open week #unipanthers

I can't decide what is more concerning, the fact that Demos moved to WR last Monday and played considerable snaps Saturday or that he is added back into the QB mix...

WGAF what class he is? If our options are run a junior out there all season (and maybe next) and look like crap and waste 2 years or Dunne or play the guy with 4 years to grow and build off while looking like crap, it seems like an easy choice

Agree. The other odd thing with Dunne is that Farley said in his presser before the ISU game that Dunne really raised his game this fall and rose to the occasion of the QB competition as well/better than anyone.

So...great spring...great fall...back to the number 3 spot? Not getting it.

Re: Quarterback 2015??

On Demos...

Farley's comment in his presser today was actually that Demos is...for the time being...NOT in the QB mix since they've moved him to WR. But that could put him back in the QB mix anytime before the open week after Cal Poly if needed.

Re: Quarterback 2015??

I was hoping Rima would talk about this insanity on his show today or at least take calls. He spent the first half hour talking about the men's and women's basketball schedule and Tyler Sash, not a single word about football. He even had women's soccer sound bites. Seriously? It was almost like UNI told him to gloss it over.

The one call he took was some old guy surprised by which QB was signaling plays in. A few Farley sound bites and than more basketball. Not exactly good radio imo. Football should have dominated the hour.

I can understand how you're bummed that he didn't choose to spend the whole hour being all doom and gloom (like this board has been).

Yeah I had the same thought.

Gary used to stay pretty tuned into the banter on PN.com. Guessing he still does. He knows what's on the mind of Panther fans.

Seemed like he went out of his way to avoid the topic.

Whoever plays against EWU will get destroyed and likely benched by games end, so root for the QB you don't want to play the rest of the season.

I have a feeling he was under direction to avoid the topic as much as possible. Gary hasn't tweeted about the game since late Saturday/early Sunday. Even this his tweets consisted of re-tweeting Iowa State's football account about setting return records, a link to a box score, and how "big time" Jack Trice felt.

I get not wanting to be a downer, but he's the voice of the Panthers. He hosts the UNI radio show. After a loss like that people don't give a damn about the UNI basketball schedule, or women's soccer match. I didn't listen to the show, but if he really glanced over the game like that and hasn't mentioned it on twitter it seems pretty clear someone above him in the media department said "don't mention it as it likely draws negative reaction"

Don't really care about winning. If Dunne played and slung the ball all over the place and showed he can make read progressions and hit moving targets a loss would be worth it. Something to build on.

Normally I like Marty and Miller but they had Hawk Talk today at five. People that have financial ties to schools and teams can't tell it like it is, I don't want to listen to a 60 minute commercial for Uni.

No fault of Rima's, his hands were obviously tied and his soccer/women's basketball talk says more about the state of the football program than anything.
