...if he was in the game.  Which he wasn't against NC, getting pulled for ineffectiveness and needing the backup to lead an improbable comeback at home against the second worst team in the conference.

This thread is embarrassing.  So many here crying and whining about bias while wearing the orange goggles and chugging the orange kool aid.  That's not to say that there isn't grounds for a legitimate debate about the placement of Finley, Lawrence, or Dungey.  I think a credible case can be made for all three for any of the top three slots.  But the vehemence about how Dungey was robbed is over the top.  Maybe, just maybe, those not dyed in Orange see him a bit more objectively.  They see a QB who could not finish games against FSU and UNC and threw away the Pitt game.  How many first team QB's do you see in other conferences need to get pulled for the backup with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter because the offense stopped moving the ball?

Argue for Dungey all you want - like I said, I think there is a perfectly rational and credible case to be made that he should be first team.  He had a fantastic season in many respects and put up great numbers.  But spare me this whole routine of deciding that any contrary opinion is evidence of bias and nit picking the other QB's while ignoring the glaring weaknesses in Dungey.  We should be better than that.
