He has already redshirted.  So the fact that he wasn't the automatic 3rd QB after Quinn doesn't look good for him.  I think the 2 guys who played today are better.  They showed their inexperience today but I think you saw the raw potential from both of them.  It is unfortunate that Guyton stopped on that route that lead to an interception.  I wanted to see a little more Bean.  Also that give up on the last drive made me sick.  Live action snap are priceless.  And you should try to end the game on a positive note.

I thought Bean and Martin both showed a lot of promise.  Big shoes to fill when that time comes but those were critical snaps for both.  I really really like Pearson a lot.  I prefer his personality to Martin and Bean but his skill set doesn’t appear to be what we need.  At Qb right now we need pocket mobility more than anything else, then quick release, good running ability and toughness.  We will see how it plays out.  I trust the staff but we’ve got to remember that a Mason Fine comes around once in a lifetime.  He’s our Major Applewhite, Johnny Football, Case Keenum and we’ve got to make sure he knows it.  Man is legendary.

Mason is an awesome player. And he very may well be once in a lifetime/generation. I do think we need to see a couple more QBs play in this system before stating that conclusively. It’s unlikely we find another QB that presents the type of awesome story Mason does.  Maybe I’m in the minority, but I’m not willing to resign myself (yet) to a reality where we will never find someone that can match his production, as impressive as it is.

The fact that he became a starter the 2nd game of his true freshman season will make it incredibly difficult for succeeding QBs to match his career production.  And hopefully we're getting to a point where we have enough confidence in our QB room that we don't have to throw true freshmen QBs to the wolves like that anymore.

Agreed. 

We run a system offense. Once an accurate QB gets his timing down and his confidence up he can produce. 

I will never concede that this is our peak. If it is, this is an anthill of a peak.

For sure. I don't care about career stats. Year over year production is what we need. I think either 5 or 17 can eventually provide said production.

Totally agree on career production. But there is absolutely no reason we cannot find another game changing QB once Mason moves on to bigger and better things.

One bright spot in this bowl game was Kason's play.  He looked promising and poised for a true freshman.

I think both young guns showed that can throw accurately, but both also showed that they don't always have the timing and all of the vision yet. I liked Martin a tiny bit better because he seemed more poised, but I'd say it will be a healthy competition that both can win. Not sure where Pearson is on that totem pole. With yet another talented QB coming in who also will be given a shot, and then likely another one in the class after that, he may have to transfer or move position. There may simply be to many numbers in the QB room  and there will be talent even after MF leaves and one has to wonder how many QBs you want to have on scholarship. Yesterday I would have gladly traded a QB spot for another OL recruit with a chance at developing.

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      Tim Pernetti's (new AAC Commissioner) remarks regarding exploring more corporate involvement seems interesting and innovative, sort of. Getting some heavy-hitter businesses on board with their big advertising/public-relations budgets. They get to splash their logos all over the AAC venues, ceremonies, uniforms, etc in exchange for some NIL type moola. I don't know, it all just feels weird and uncomfortable to this old fat guy.

      We have complained for years about being left in the dark. The Mean Green Club was promised quarterly meetings that never took place, now there is little to no coverage of the spring practices, player movement is constant so the days of watching a last second scholarship player developing in to a Hall of Fame performer are long gone ala Johnny Quinn, there is little to no fan engagement, etc... It just keeps getting worse and without a push to really involve the fans, I foresee a bleak future. They, the AD, has to create excitement around the team/program or Apogee will just become a waste of money, the new basketball arena will never happen and future adds like baseball will just be an idea that came too late. The days of the G5's are on their way out. It will be whittled down to the top 40 or 50 programs as D1. We might as well go back to our D1AA days and play at the FCS level. I am just about done with sports from a financial commitment position. The greed has ruined it for me. Their is zero loyalty towards the program by the players. It is all about them and how much money they can cram in their pockets and it appears our basketball coach encourages the lack of loyalty. I will watch on television, but that's about it, much like pro sports have become. I have no interest in attending a Cowboys' game live once the prices became ridiculous, same with the Mav's and Rangers' in that stupid new ballpark that was a waste of money. I had arrived at a point where I was only willing to invest in watching North Texas live, but the current situation has ruined that as well. The future of all of college sports is a disaster if some type of control isn't put in place. It is ridiculous and very sad. Guess I will end up spending my money on golf, fine food and drink, drugs, etc. and become a more interesting person.

      SB at Memphis (4/19-21/24)

      Opportunity to beat up on one of the worst teams in the country in Memphis (5-34, 1-17). Really can't let them steal one like UTSA did a few weeks ago. This could help solidify a top two seed (top two seeds would only need to win two games in the conference tournament to win the title) if Tulsa takes 2 of 3 from Charlotte this weekend.
