Pyne and Buchner are close friends. Pyne is aware of Buchner's progress level as much as anyone. In general, a starter doesn't lose his spot just because of an injury, and Drew Pyne has done as well as he can, but he has hardly "lit things up". The coaches know exactly what each can and cannot do.
Not at all. Makes bowl opponent have to prepare for so much more.

- 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

- 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

- 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

- Pyne Has proven he’s a big-time team player I don’t think he cares [NT]
- 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 you [NT]

- 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

- In all fairness to Pyne, he's had more of a chance to cement a starting job than Buchner. [NT]

- 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 older [NT]
- 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
- Buchner's far better. That's why he is our starting QB and Pyne is the backup even though he's older [NT]

- 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
