...Buchner was anointed the starter after 1 week into Fall camp so Rees obviously saw (in his mind) that Buchner was "da man."

Do you think Pyne triggers in Rees self-loathing? Rees/Crist = Pyne/Buchner - LanceManion - 9:01am 9/30/22 (34) [View All]
- Agreed. Rees seemingly is a carryover of all of Brian Kelly's QB faults. He's made the same mistakes [NT] - oldirish - 2:00pm 9/30/22
- Would Rees have adapted his play calling? - GaSubwayIrish - 10:27am 9/30/22
  - He showed no tendency in that direction through the game when Buchner was hurt. Seems like no. - LanceManion - 11:18am 9/30/22
    - I agree 100% with this. it was frustrating to watch. [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 11:39am 9/30/22
- The idea that Pyne is clear cut better than Buchner is silly - NDNEIL - 10:11am 9/30/22
  - Pyne's QB rating for two starts is 165.6, placing him 10th over the entire season last year - MarkHarman - 7:39pm 9/30/22
  - I'm not touting Buchner as the be all, end all, but at this point we're comparing apples and oranges - D2 - 3:18pm 9/30/22
    - Agree, but haters gotta hate. Neither of them have particularly impressed me. - Frank L - 5:20pm 10/2/22
    - Lots of its and buts in that post [NT] - ColeyO - 10:59pm 9/30/22
    - Better??? Marshall lost to Troy and Bowling Green and our O turned around. Can you explain this? [NT] - oldirish - 9:29pm 9/30/22
    - Pyne looks clearly better than Buchner - WoodstockIrish - 7:58pm 9/30/22

    - I don't see why it's silly. Both are average or less compared to other QBs in college football - NDQuebec - 1:13pm 9/30/22
      - The stats and the eye test aren't with equal variables - NDNEIL - 4:45pm 9/30/22
      - Check out the facts about how a passing QB can make an OL better. Nice! [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 1:48pm 9/30/22
  - Objectively better? Who knows? Better for the ND offense given the talent and OC? Yes. [NT] - LanceManion - 11:47am 9/30/22
    - Not enough data to make that conclusion [NT] - NDNEIL - 4:36pm 9/30/22
  - His passing % is far superior [NT] - whatsamataU - 11:27am 9/30/22
    - Josh Allen completed 56% of his passes in college.You saying Bills should draft Pyne and replace him [NT] - NDNEIL - 4:36pm 9/30/22

      - Please don’t tell me you’re comparing Buchner to Josh Allen - WoodstockIrish - 7:35am 10/1/22
        No, I'm pointing out the absurdity of pointing to a better completion% - NDNEIL - 8:34am 10/1/22
      - Allen was a far superior runner and a big arm. Vast difference. [NT] - oldirish - 9:34pm 9/30/22
        Dat was da point boi [NT] - NDNEIL - 8:35am 10/1/22
    - undeniable fact [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 11:53am 9/30/22
  - It’s 0-2 vs 2-0. Wins and losses do matter. - GaSubwayIrish - 10:37am 9/30/22
    - Sample sizes and strength of opponent matter as well - NDNEIL - 4:14pm 9/30/22
      - Go check who Marshall lost to. Dat is a data point. [NT] - oldirish - 9:45pm 9/30/22
        App State scored 40 in a quarter against UNC. But that's not the point - NDNEIL - 12:41pm 10/1/22
