Do you really believe that after 3 years with the program Ty Thompson’s problem is that he just hasn’t spent enough time with the 1s? I sincerely hope you’re right, but imho good players make the most with the opportunities they are given. Ty hasn’t done much with his opportunities.droop10 wrote:That’s not obvious at all.

Are you talking about Troy Franklin? The one that played meaningful time in every Oregon game his freshman year and was 5th in receptions? In what possible way can you compare that to Dickey that hasn’t caught a pass all season and has only appeared in 4 games?buckmarkduck wrote:StevensTechU wrote:Tez Johnson could be a #1, I suppose.

Dickey will make a jump similar to Franklin year 1 to year 2.
You left out that he's had 3 OCs in 3 years and that other than 1? snap for Bo last year, all of his reps have been garbage time with the 2s so which opportunities is he actually not doing much with?DuckMastaFunk wrote:Do you really believe that after 3 years with the program Ty Thompson’s problem is that he just hasn’t spent enough time with the 1s?

Yes, you're right. I didn't mention 3 OCs in 3 years. My logic: Bo's also had 3 OCs in 3 years also; I agree it's not ideal, but I also don't think it's that big of a deal. That said, I've never been a college QB.Duck07 wrote:You left out that he's had 3 OCs in 3 years and that other than 1? snap for Bo last year, all of his reps have been garbage time with the 2s so which opportunities is he actually not doing much with?DuckMastaFunk wrote:Do you really believe that after 3 years with the program Ty Thompson’s problem is that he just hasn’t spent enough time with the 1s?

Under Mario he got nothing from those reps and now under Stein he's letting it rip and looks like he knows what he's doing. I also know that people are aghast at 1 throw at ASU where he had the audacity to try and thread the needle. Personally I'm glad he's trying to do that rather than be hesitant as he's also being given the green light to throw in these late drives.
He's 24/31 (77%) for 297 (9.6 avg) with 4 TD 1 INT
Bo is about to break the NCAA record at 78% and is avg 9.7 a throw.
Now obviously if the Coaches can land a QB in the Portal they feel represents a clear upgrade then they will, but my largest point and what a few others are also bringing up is that right now it might be that they do in fact view Ty as QB1 next year so they can focus on other team needs in the Portal and with the NIL. The early stretch is winnable for Ty next year and the tough games are in the middle of the season meaning that a loss or two to UM/OSU can also be regained in the Playoff Poll by winning out.
Until I hear someone give credible insider reports that TT is stinking it up in practices, I'm going with he's clearly shown himself to have improved tremendously under Stein and it's shown on the field.

Not sure why he'd leave Arizona. His best friend is his #1 WR target and they are returning all their star offensive players next season (QB/RB/WR).ducks5ever wrote:.... you can't legally recruit players until they hit the portal.DuckMastaFunk wrote:https://brobible.com/sports/article/was ... er-rumors/

Besides, it would make a lot more sense to go after the Arizona freshman QB than Cam Ward if we're throwing legalities out the window.
Yes, you can’t recruit players, but boosters offering NIL deals are totally ok cause those are 100% unrelated to where the player is and will play, it has nothing to do with trying to entice a player to join the school you’re a booster for.ducks5ever wrote:.... you can't legally recruit players until they hit the portal.DuckMastaFunk wrote:https://brobible.com/sports/article/was ... er-rumors/

They are gonna be scary good on offense next season.
While true, it's also true that Bo improved dramatically once he entered Dan Lanning's development system. Why couldn't the same be true for Ty? Neither his stats nor the eye tests lie -- Ty has definitely turned a corner.My logic: Bo's also had 3 OCs in 3 years also; I agree it's not ideal, but I also don't think it's that big of a deal.
I feel like Tez is best suited as the #2. He's been productive b/c all eyes are on Troy Franklin, the true #1.StevensTechU wrote:Tez Johnson could be a #1, I suppose.
