I wish they’d stop saying Dungey was impressive

[Scooch]

Agreed, the kid is talented but will take some beat downs this year for sure but lets hope it isn't versus Wake and some of the bigger names on the schedule

GOTTA beat Wake.

 

[OrangePA]

he was.

Has to make a big difference.

And makes Dungey's performance more impressive.

 

[GoSU96]

Last week was the first game of the 2016 season.

This is a development year. This year the program has the ability to build around young skill position guys and develop them for the following three seasons.

And that's why Joe Adam is on the clock. If OL replacements aren't prepared for next year a golden opportunity for a big leap in this program will be wasted.

 

[Millhouse]

One of his TDs the WR should get 100% of the credit. it was a diving catch on a 45 yard throw - better catch than the one Cornelius dropped.

Dungey's numbers could've been better if Cornelius makes a catch. The overthrow was on Dungey; that's not impressive. He makes the throw then...

UVA is on our schedule most pundits predict us losing to them.

Dungey played good and has great potential. I don't like using the word impressive for him just yet.

10-17 for 114 yards and 2 TDs. If he' goes 28-35 and 351 against anyone else on the schedule we'll be building a statue.

and then covering it up and not letting anyone ever see it

 

[AAM62]

I think what's impressive is that Dungey wasn't expected to play until mop up duty, was not practicing to be the starter, and still looked pretty poised and would have had even better numbers if not for a couple blatant drops. Plus, obviously he didn't get the same chance to sling it because we got up big early and just ran the ball down their throats.

how dare you quote game script!

you must be lost

 

[AAM62]

I will say that I just saw the wake vs elon highlights and wofford actually looked impressive. Luckily, regardless of who we played, our defense WAS impressive.

 

[Chip]

GOTTA beat Wake.

Yes, and I could care less about style points from here on out. Win is a win is a win.

(I did want style points on URI, and we got them).

 

[Orangetradition44]

the Syracuse beat writers. This is NOT a diss on Dungey. He played well but I think it sets false expectations. UCLA started a true frosh at QB against Virginia. His performance was impressive, going 28 of 35 for 351 yards and 3 TD’s, 0 ints. 12 different receivers caught a ball. That's impressive.

Dungey get WAS impressive when compared against most of the last decade and a half of QB play at SU. But I get your point.

Man, these Syracuse beat writers. Always such biased homers. I know this board always says they wished the writers were more balanced and measured with their takes, but now I really see it.

Better than saying he absolutely $ucked. I'll take a true frosh qb getting props any day, versus the alternative!

I agree at this point in time he appears to be a weak link.

Like the beat writers my headline was simply click bait.

hey, he now has a half and all week to practice.

all bets are off...

P5, in-conf, must win week...

get ready son...

 

[Briancuse]

The UCLA kid got most of the 1st team snaps in practice. Dungey's getting those extra reps going forward should help his development.

That said, Rosen certainly had a nice debut.

And also, and this is no knock on dungey, but he is doing it against a bad fcs team. The Ucla kid did it against an acc team, and a John Tenuda defense.

He's better than Hunt good.

 

[chakka3421]

But once in a while lightning does strike - our program really needs to catch a break for once with one of these new QBs.

Really looking forward to the Wake game - can't wait to see how he does against P5 level competition that's similar to our level.

Go Orange and Go Mr Dungey!

 

[BKCuse]

Dungey was impressive in my book.

The kid was thrown into action 7 minutes into his 1st game as a freshman. He made a lot of good throws (AC's dropped TD was best) and didn't make any costly mistakes (but overthrew Erv on ez TD)

This kid was in HS 3 months ago. That's impressive.

the UCLA kid was Unbelievable!

Why negative about Adam? Every one of our position coaches has young talent in the ranks and the opportunity to build on what we have in 2015, prepping for 2016.

Adam/Moreland have Conway & Roberts, both of whom played well when the second OL was in the game. Palmer, a junior, looked much improved. Right there you have the 3 building blocks for next year's OL, with Evan Adams competing for a role.

The difference is that some of the young kids are forced to start (the safeties), or rotate in early, for lack of senior starters in the units.

 

[orange_in_VA]

While that can certainly be true - we could also say...if Erv doesn't make a nice 1 handed grab and do all the work, he's 9-17, 1 TD for roughly 85 yards. I thought Dungey was good, but I'm not going to form a real opinion until after the next 2 games. I sure hope he's everything we think he can be, but it's too small a sample size to get too excited yet.

At least Dungey gave Erv a shot to make a play. Hunt would have thrown it 10 feet over his head.

the last time 'impressive' was thrown around here and in print regarding a Syracuse QB...the QBs name was Long.

just sayin.....

Longs play vs FSU (#1) on short notice with a new OC was impressive.

Dungey may well fall short - but I think his mental game and raw tools (size, touch on throws, running ability) all make him a more intriguing guy than anyone on the roster since Nassib.

 

[Halfmooncuse]

He stinks! lol rather haha

I expect Dungey to play a lot like Long did last year but I think Dungey has more tools than Long does to rely on. Quicker release, much stronger arm, he is 2-3" taller and while slight he's certainly bigger than Long

at long's size you better be incredibly fast, but he isn't

 

[SWC75]

Rosen was great. Dungey was pretty good and will get better. Comparing him to Rosen doesn't reduce my evaluation of Dungey.

It's like comparing your girlfriend to Miss September.
