Tim Cato looks at the UNT QB situation

[Harry]

Four quarterbacks are on the Mean Green roster, and none of them are Derek Thompson. Although Thompson had clear limitations, he was a bastion of consistency for the Mean Green offense and missed only one start over the past three seasons. He was never beloved, but he will be missed, if only because theres no clear starter behind him.

Junior Andrew McNulty is the favorite, mainly because hes spent three seasons with the program, more than any other quarterback on the roster. Thompson showed the ability to improvise, but he was never a dedicated scrambler. McNulty rushed for more than 1,000 yards his senior year of high school and could give coaches a new wrinkle on offense. He doesnt have a strong arm, but head coach Dan McCarney and offensive coordinator Mike Canales like players who know the system and in theory are experienced veterans.

Actually. I believe these guys step up and perform. We will all see soon enough. Go Mean Green!

We were very fortunate that DT was a warrior last year and played through pain (no better example than the HOD bowl). I'm excited that both Greer and McNulty are getting extended looks. In the event of injury, I feel we're positioned well to absorb the loss.

spare me. We will be better on offense, if we don't look as good as last year it will be the defense that isn't living up to last years team.

We shall see... Check back after game 4 plz

I really do believe we will have a great season but if by some chance we don't I have a feeling it will be from a lot of factors and not necessarily QB play. We lost 3 players fighting for a spot on an NFL roster and none of those 3 played QB.

So Tim Cato looking at the QB situation is about the same as everything we've all said while looking at the QB situation, right?
