Dungey starts next week

I could imagine it now Babers starts Devito... I mean why not. We have an advantage. We can make them prepare for one QB and then play the other. Let's play having two great QBs to our advantage and just catch other teams off guard with a surprise QB every week
 
Get this foolish crap out of your systems today. We need to focus on getting a win at Wake They played possum with Clemson but look like they have a potent offense and the Orange will have to fire at a high rate to not have a let down loss.
 
I will give props to both ED and TD...they celebrated scores together and discussed plays on the sidelines together in a team centric way. There was no petty bs observed by either guy. That says allot in my book about both young men. Good stuff.
 
Dungey’s our starter and captain but I still sense anti devito bias in a lot of posts on this forum. Whether its due to past posters or not, people need to support all our teams qb’s in success and struggle

IMO - the only anti-QB sentiment vocalized around here has been towards the other guy.

Regardless, doesn’t matter. Love both of them...

Onward and upward.

That’s fair but a lot of the guys openly wishing for Dungey’s downfall, rather than just acknowledging recent struggles, aren’t incredibly reputable posters and I now have many on ignore.

If I recall, Devito won the who should start poll on this board by a nice margin. The majority of bias shown on this board last week was against Dungey not Devito.

My take is both are good players and we should be happy to have them. Dungey is our starter though and I'm happy he silenced the critics last night.

I don’t think that’s “bias”.

That was “Dungey has been struggling and people keep saying he’s playing hurt”. It was concern that his health was holding him back. And Devito had just come in and lit it up and won a big game, so people now have full confidence in him.

Take the assumed injury out of the equation and I’d say 98% of the board would vote for Dungey - he’s a star senior college QB.

Whatever they did to help get Dungey right for that game...keep doing it.

If everyone keeps saying he is injured it must be true. He looked smaller to me must have cut out his lifting this week to improve his accuracy.

Well, we all saw the Florida State game. A guy hopping around in pain clutching his arm after he just threw a pass into the turf...that’s not the norm. Can’t say I’ve seen that too many times.

It’s a brutal sport, at this point every player on every team has something that hurts at least sometimes.

I was a pitcher in high school that had rotator cuff issues and tendinitis issues. Nothing torn, no surgeries. Did things to manage it and some days felt pretty good, some days were tough.

I’m not trying to be a doctor or pretend like my experiences = Dungey’s. Using common sense, it’s entirely possible the kid has been battling through some kind of arm/shoulder issue that he can play with and that there’s things they can do to manage.

It’s not really just rumors and heresay when we all saw what we saw. No need to be condescending and pretend like people are against Dungey and you’re the special white knight in his corner. We’re all in his corner.

Florida st was six games ago. I did see that play but I have not seen one play to this day that I would say wow his arm must be injured.

Bad throws sometimes are just bad throws it happens.

Yes, need to focus on Wake. I would hate for all the posters on this forum to get caught up in this nonsense... lol might uhhh, might uhhh effect the game... and it’s outcome... somehow? Lol super weird
 
I don't get these "proven right" posts. Nobody was proven right. Dungey came out last night and played like he did the first 3 years, maybe better. It still doesn't make anybody right or wrong. The fact was Dungey was struggling mightily, while the other guy came in and tore apart the defense for the 2nd time this season. Many here have been insinuating that it's known Dungey has been playing hurt. I haven't seen bias from 1 poster. I'm sorry but wanting the QB who has been playing better to get some burn isn't bias. There wasn't 1 person unhappy watching Dungey tear it up last night. He did what he's supposed to do and has done for 3 years. It's nice that he got a fire lit under him. It's also not to say Devito wouldn't have come out and done the exact same thing. He looked pretty good his only drive as well. Usually people say if you have 2 qb's you don't have any. That's not the case with this team. We have 2 guys who can win a lot of games. You can tell the competition has brought out the best in both of them. That's a good thing.

As a Bills fan, I can't fathom the thought of having not one, but TWO good QBs on a team :rolling:

Or 2 good ones every couple decades.
