Why didn’t Mahoney start?

[OburgOrange]

Being a senior and all. What did I miss

What was the issue? Anyone? Bueller?

Rex had a few ridiculously poor throws. But all in all, I liked what I saw.

The year was lost already. Have to see what Rex can do if he's called into a situation where's he needed. He's very raw, but showed glimpses.

How about the fact thats i think 1-8 as a starter? He's a senior and not around next year. Dungey cant make it a whole season, and we have no one on the roster who has taken meaningful snaps. Why not give Rex the start?

No need for us to know.

Now that it’s over, I’m not giving any info to opposing teams. I’m pretty sure dungey is having knee surgery Monday as well.

Exactly screw Senior Day. This team is about the future we need to see what Rex can do. Zach is a great kid but is gone and we already know what he could do.

No shock I heard he had multiple injuries.

Appreciate the info.

Jeez, hopefully not a knee surgery that has a huge recovery time.

Two silver linings today:

1. Culpepper played the whole game.

2. The Dome sells beer.

Maybe it’s later today or another day, but Eric was in classes today. Still had the boot on though.

He had some throws - and releases - that honest to god reminded me of Dan Marino.

He had his problems, but I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw on Saturday.

Agree, way more good than bad. Especially for someone at his place on the development curve.

We should have given him an RPO on either 3rd or 4th down on that drive that ended the 3rdQ. And stopped calling those under center quick throws, you knew BC would jump one. Turned a 14 point loss into a 28 point loss.

Whoa! Really, in another thread i asked the same question and was told he had a foot injury. If he was indeed healthy, thats a poor job not letting him see the field.

I agree with giving rex the start, but ZM has to see the field on sat, if healthy.

He had some good moments, his delivery reminds me of phillip rivers'.

Why?

 

[OrangePA]

Yes, that's what I saw.

A short, quick delivery.

 

[Ish88888]

Why?

Why? A laundry list of reasons , again premised on the fact he was indeed, healthy :

1. ZM is a senior and earned a series or 2.

2. RC isnt that good and hasn't beat out ZM in practice and the 2 deep. I understand wanting to see wgat we had with RC and I liked the idea of playing him to see what we have. But, no way you don't give ZM a series or 3.

3. It was a blow out and RC made plenty of mistakes. ZM deserved to see the field his last home game in orange...well, blue.

What are you talking about? It quotes Dino as saying Zach wasn't completely healthy.
