- If Buchner can play, I think the coaches go with him in a heartbeat. That they are looking for a tr tky21 8:22pm · 11/23/22
  - I don't get the love for Buchner. Fact is that neither are very good. NDQuebec 7:32am · 11/24/22
    - Tend to agree. Neither are good. Haven’t seen enough of Buchner to say which is worse.NT Frank L 5:59pm · 11/24/22
    - Buchner is our starting QB. Coaches clearly think he is far better, not only running but tky21 9:19am · 11/24/22
      - Correction, Buchner 'was' the starter, now Pyne 'is' the starter.. Chrisb 1:26pm · 11/24/22
        
        No, Buchner is our starting QB (or QB1 if you'd rather) but is injured. The backup (Pyne) starts in tky21 4:00pm · 11/24/22
        
        You are so far off the mark here, it's pointless even trying to reason with you. Chrisb 7:40pm · 11/24/22
        
        No, I'm not. If your QB1 gets healthy and is a major upgrade, you play him. Shouldn't be a tky21 7:56pm · 11/24/22
        
        "As for next year, I'm in favor of them competing." That's what I've been saying the whole damn time Chrisb 10:13pm · 11/24/22
    - Thank you WoodstockIrish 8:40am · 11/24/22
      - I agree 100% that our QB's are poor, overall. But Buchner is far better. He is not so short so he tky21 9:22am · 11/24/22
      - Amen. The level of delirium and excuses is mindboggling. I'm not even sure if the supporters watch oldirish 8:49am · 11/24/22
        
        Delirium is thinking Pyne is anything but a very poor FBS QB. Everyone sees it. It's obvious.NT tky21 9:28am · 11/24/22
        
        8-1 with a win over #4. That's all I can say about that.NT oldirish 10:02pm · 11/24/22
        
        Delirium is constantly proclaiming Buchner like the second coming of John Elway WoodstockIrish 8:09pm · 11/24/22
        
        Thank you. Just a general reminder. This John Elway we have is 0-2. Just a reminder.NT oldirish 10:03pm · 11/24/22
- What a slap in the face for Pyne WoodstockIrish 12:44pm · 11/23/22
  - What he's proven to the coaches is enough for me. He's the starting QB. He should play if healthy.NT tky21 9:56am · 11/24/22
    - What has he proven? WoodstockIrish 10:08pm · 11/25/22
  - Re: What a slap in the face for Pyne skiptomylou 8:07pm · 11/23/22
  - Brilliant! Now defenses have to prepare for two QBs who can’t throw accurately!NT LanceManion 7:46pm · 11/23/22
  - Maybe they’re just needling Pyne.NT TakethetrainKnute 5:58pm · 11/23/22
    - Barking up the wrong tree and going out on a limb?NT WoodstockIrish 6:35pm · 11/23/22
      - Just a bunch of saps, right?NT murph78 9:06pm · 11/23/22
        
        That's a straw man argumentNT MarkHarman 9:34pm · 11/23/22
  - Should Pyne be gifted the job because the starting qb got hurt? D2 4:29pm · 11/23/22
    - Correction. Pyne has excelled at leading the team to an 8-1 record. That's all. Hard to argue that. oldirish 10:04pm · 11/24/22
    - Funny, 19 passes weren’t batted down WoodstockIrish 6:37pm · 11/23/22
    - You don’t win much with ordinary WoodstockIrish 6:36pm · 11/23/22
      - The next game that ND wins because Pyne is the QB will be the first D2 6:42pm · 11/23/22
  - Pyne Has proven he’s a big-time team player I don’t think he caresNT KWIRISH 4:11pm · 11/23/22
    - He's getting to live his dream these last 9 weeks and good for him. He shouldn't be a starter again tky21 8:14pm · 11/23/22
  - I’d like to see both play. Will also be interesting to see how Pyne does without Mayer.NT Shadow_of_the_Dome 3:50pm · 11/23/22
  - Why? Buchner is our starting QB. Why wouldn’t he play if healthy??NT tky21 2:18pm · 11/23/22
    - Because when he did play (include last year pls), he was not very good.NT NDQuebec 7:33am · 11/24/22
      - Last year he's a true freshman who hadn't played in years. He's our starting QB. He should play.NT tky21 11:09am · 11/24/22
      - Thank youNT WoodstockIrish 8:42am · 11/24/22
        
        Others have to intentionally not be looking at these facts.NT oldirish 8:51am · 11/24/22
        
        If he gets healthy and plays in the bowl game, a lot of Pyne-lovers will be eating crow.NT tky21 11:10am · 11/24/22
        
        Please tell me what Crow? He's 8-1 and they've scored 40+ points in 5 straight games. The first time oldirish 10:11pm · 11/24/22
  - Not at all. Makes bowl opponent have to prepare for so much more. BaronVonZemo 1:19pm · 11/23/22
  - In all fairness to Pyne, he's had more of a chance to cement a starting job than Buchner.NT WestCoastIrishFan 1:03pm · 11/23/22
    - In all fairness. Buchner looked bad and we lost. Pyne has looked bad at times and we still won. The oldirish 8:54am · 11/24/22
      - Buchner's far better. That's why he is our starting QB and Pyne is the backup even though he's olderNT tky21 10:08am · 11/24/22
        
        Pyne's play has the coaches to actively start looking for a transfer QB midseason. Enough said.NT tky21 10:09am · 11/24/22
    - Correct. And the result is ND looking for a transfer so they won't have to go with Pyne next year if tky21 8:16pm · 11/23/22
  - Buchner did win the starting job, you think it's fair he loses it due to injury?NT iairishcheeks 12:57pm · 11/23/22
    - A slap in the face would be making Buchner pay the price for shitty Oline play.... NDavenue 1:55pm · 11/23/22
      - Agree.NT iairishcheeks 2:41pm · 11/23/22
  - Why? He didn't say anything about TB starting, he said he might be able to play. Irish_Demon 12:48pm · 11/23/22
    - Packages? We need him throwing the ball too. We might not be able to run 75% of the time and win.NT tky21 6:24pm · 11/24/22
    - Exactly. Pyne has been adequate at best. If he has Frank L 12:52pm · 11/23/22
      - Let the bowl opponent have to prep for two different QBs. ELP 1:09pm · 11/23/22
        
        There are two reasons why it made sense for Freeman to make that statement: b2runn 3:00pm · 11/23/22

        True about Navy. The key is to target Frosh or Sophs. 3rd year students are a no go. NDavenue 5:12pm · 11/23/22
