Farely crazy smart, or just crazy?

Re: Farely crazy smart, or just crazy?

This definitely is an improved Bears team compared to past years (although, in reality, that means very little). They were very much in the NDSU game until the 4th qtr and should have knocked off Western Illinois. Even K-State didn't take them behind the shed like we did, so I think the changes absolutely showed that this team was every bit capable of being undefeated if Farley had loosened the reigns and committed to Dunne earlier. We saw it in the Montana game that Bailey was not a guy who could win games for us against any decent defense that wanted to make us throw.

Re: Farely crazy smart, or just crazy?

I think it's easy to like AB. He's a phenomenal athlete and everything i hear is great guy, great leader, hard worker. Unfortunately not an accurate passer and teams took away what he did well and the results this year are what they are.

I think the the difference in game plan wasn't that the staff put in something new. I think all of these sets and routes were there (as it looked similar to the offense that UNI ran with Sanders and Grace at QB) but i'm assuming that the staff didn't feel like those plays were a fit with AB's skill set. Which lent itself to Read Option and play action. Dunne allowed them to be balanced and diverse.

I'm looking forward to what will be a very tough NDSU game.

It wasn't just the numbers.

I keep trying to tell this to people, too.

It was nice to see the young receivers running all over the field for 20+ yard gains.

Yes it was! Honestly, the athletes have been there and a mixed playbook makes the line look just a little bit better too. Dunne is the real deal. Forget the 400 yards passing, he has patience, accuracy, and touch. You can't teach touch to a QB at any level.

Dunne also has the physical characteristics of a draftable QB; very excited to see the next couple years of UNI football all of a sudden!

Re: Farely crazy smart, or just crazy?

Bailey will start on Saturday. Everything came up roses when Farley rolled the dice and used Dunne against Missouri State. Future looks great with Dunne. Playing against the Bison will be a different story. The Bears haven't been anything to deal with for years. Everything worked out perfectly last Saturday.
This Saturday will be a different story. Farley knows it...Chris Kleiman knows it. Bailey is too much of a known threat against NDSU. We all know he is not much of a passer but when he wants to run, he is a real threat to deal with. Saturday's game against NDSU pretty much sets the tone for UNI for the rest of the season. Lose Saturday and looking at who is left coming up, Western Illinois and SDSU, UNI can pretty much forget about the playoffs. Too risky I think to put Dunne out there in a starting role. Let him start against the Sycamores and get some more experience. Start Bailey this week.

I agree. You have one play book and two quarterbacks that definitely have different strengths. Same plays but a different presence in the pocket with Dunne.

Farley should be fired at halftime if Bailey starts. I will go back outside and tailgate if he starts. It would be insane.

Why not see what Dunne has against real and stronger competition? I'm pretty sure he'll have to face NDSU and SDSU the next two years so let's see what he's got and how this offense works against them. If UNI loses, at least he's then got some valuable experience to prepare for those teams next season.

UNI needs to run the table again, and I believe that odds are better with Dunne and his skill set rather than Bailey to do it.

Re: Farely crazy smart, or just crazy?

If he starts Bailey we can eliminate crazy smart.

Re: Farely crazy smart, or just crazy?

Dunne, outside of being a complete and total disaster against NDSU, (unlikely) unequivocally has to take every meaningful snap for the next 2.5 seasons.

He has played a grand total of 1 game as a starter and in that game our offense hummed like it hasn't for the entire last decade and he was named conference and national player of the week. This isn't even a discussion.

Start ED...put your foot down on the gas pedal for the rest of the year...and whatever happens happens.

ED is the future of the program.

If you start AB and we lose it will be too hard on the team and the fan base. Ride ED as far as he'll take ya.

AB is such a dynamic threat as a runner that he's led our offense to 1 offensive touchdown in the last 7 quarters. CAN'T WAIT to see him shred the defense of a 5-time defending national champion

Play yes. Start? Start what? Riots? He needs to touch the field but not start.
