So you're Doc and Green is good in the next couple weeks. What do you do? Bring Green back or stay with Thomson?
Green vs Thomson
- Thread starter BleedsGreen33
- Start date
Stay with Green. AT is gone in two regardless. Green may be here for awhile.
AT improved but unless Green is 100% then I'd give green more time. AT has terrible pocket presence "sense"
He scrambled for at least two (maybe three) first downs today when the pocket broke down.
I am an advocate for Green but as long as Thomson improves and we are winning, you have to let him roll with it.
Thomson is still very inefficient. You won't be successful averaging 6 yards, or less, per pass attempt. He is fortunate that the run game has really gotten going. If we could have that run game with Greens downfield passing game the play action would be devastating.
It is too early to decide.If we play good and win the next couple of games ,we stay with Thompson.If we play lousy we the next couple of weeks ;we go back to Green. I never want to lose so I hope Thompson continues to play like we had originally hoped he would.
His last completion on that out right was almost a pick 6.
I am not worriet about his pass per attempt yet. I saw a more comfortable QB today and will get better. He hasn’t played in a long time and we saw huge improvement today. The more reps in practice and games will help and continue to grow. I like his running ability as well.
But it wasn’t. Now we criticize a QB because he’s able to thread the needle?
Does that make Green fortunate that the wide receivers made plays down field for him?
I don’t think it’s impossible to think Thomson’s presence has helped the run game. Whether it be with his reads or the fact that he’s shown the ability to pull it down get some positive yardage, something has changed with his offense in his two starts.
Both QBs look alright but nothing great. Green is just a freshman so he has a lot of improving he could do. Thomson has more experience and is probably closer to his top end. He hasnt played in awhile so he could get better and I would expect him to get better but i dont see him improving enough to be a great QB. His numbers at Wagner werent all that great so I dont see him coming to Marshall and suddenly turning into this great QB but we shall see.
We have had 4 games to see what Green could do. It will be interesting to see what Thomson can do in 4 games. If Thomson isnt any better than Green after 4 games, we should go back to Green assuming Green is healthy at that point.

The pass had some zip on it and was placed perfectly in a tight window on that play and the DB that could have made a play on the ball was running away from the line looking away from the ball. At least we didn't freaking run the ball on 3rd down and punt like we did in those situations when Legg was OC.
Good lord I hate qb controversy. The next weeks will just be a giant pissing match on here about who’s the right guy
Depending on the severity of Green’s injury, you may not have to worry about it.
I don't care which QB it is as long as we win.
Thomson is good, but I am not seeing the NFL talent. This is a guy being billed as an NFL talent that was looking for visibility at a bigger program to raise his draft stock. I see a guy that won't lose you the game, but not a QB that is going to be lethal to any defense.
That being said if he can just continue to trend up each game and we can continue to run the ball like this the rest of the way out we may be able to squeeze out a pretty good season that could have a division title.

play them both, make a defense spend time on both in practice. Saban does it and Doc was on staff at WVU when they did it in 93.
The only way they beat FAU is to run the ball like they did today, control the clock, and not turn the ball over. You will need to keep them honest with some sort of passing game, but I don’t see how we can win a shootout.
I don’t care who starts/plays but either one is going to have to be a game manager, take care of the ball, and get us into the right checks at the line.

No that pass did not had some zip on it. I’m
Pretty sure it was tipped with the way it wobbled. It should have been thrown to the outside shoulder not inside. We just got lucky
We ran the ball like that against MTSU. That passing game has got to open up.
If we're being honest with ourselves their depth played a part with the score. They closed it to within one score with around 5 to go. Then King burnt them. They lost last weeks game in the 3xact same fashion.
Well, he really hadn’t been outside of the first two weeks and then when the games became blowouts.
Inefficient??? You obviously didn’t watch the same game I was sitting at! Thomson was day and night from last week and made some crucial big passes and his arm was strong as people have previously tried to argue.. Thomson is our future for this season and next, Green is an athelete but needs to sit behind and improve his footwork in my opinion. The sky is the ceiling for Thomson I hope he continues to improve week to week. If he has a big game this Saturday this QB conversation is dead!! GO HERD!!!!

There are his stats:
18/29 182
Ave 6.3.
1 TD
1 Int
59.4 QB Rating
This is out of a QB who has 2 years under his belt at BCS.
The Sky is the Ceiling? Funny to hear people say that he needs more time. He has been a Starting QB for two years. He has had enough time. More then enough time to have a higher then 59 QB rating against a team in ESPN Bottom 10.

If we compares johns’ post to yours, you come off as the one “crushing on” a QB.
Oh please. Come on. He played better but it’s not like we are the 2014 offense or 99.
