competition. He was a major topic of discussion this spring and fall and all indications were that the coaches were very high on him and what the offense can be with him. He clearly has the physical tools and ability to do the job where we know Pyne does not. We don't know if Buchner can stay healthy. But if he is healthy and he is asked to do as little as Pyne is being asked to do, I'm confident he'd be able to do that easily and far better than Pyne's abilities allow.
To be clear, I don't think Buchner is God's gift to QB'ing. I think the 23 and 24 recruits are better. Also, it's probably in part a consequence of Pyne setting the bar so freaking low in terms of QB play. It's also that I think the rest of our offense is really good and if we got even reasonable play from the QB position it could be awesome.
