You could tell he was the better QB against FAMU.

Also seems to have done better against MD even though he did not get any full first team reps last year for that game or prior too...

 

On what earth and what game were you watching to come to that conclusion?

There are no numbers that show Bench being a good QB.

He has had plenty of opportunities.

There are plenty showing he could be servicable and that is what we need.

What do you suggest we do?

 

At this point, I'm going to just chalk it up to you being a relative of Bench's.  

 

There is absolutely nothing in his history that shows him being a serviceable QB. This isn't Kean we are talking about where we don't know what he is, we know what Bench is. He's had far far far more of an opportunity to prove himself than Flowers and has failed miserably in pretty much every single chance.  

 

Wow, I thought at the very least that the best thing that would have come from the debacle on Saturday is that we wouldn't have to deal with this absurd line of thinking after watching that disastrous Bench drive.  You guys who have been moaning and whining for the past 2 weeks got exactly what you wanted, and as some of us others predicted, it did no good (in fact caused far more harm).  He was able to impressively somehow worsen his career completion percentage to an absolutely impressive 46.9% over nearly 180 pass attempts while adding another INT.  Nothing about that says "accurate passer".  If we start Bench, we are giving up on the season.  He's had more than enough opportunities, and at this point of his career, he is what he is.  Atleast with Flowers you should continue to see improvement.  

 

Oh, and last year Bench + White combined for a total of 12 TD's last year.   Flowers has accounted for 7 already in 3 games.   This years team has more problems than just QB play.

Maryland changed QBs.  From a guy that could run but not throw well.  To another guy that can throw but isn't known for excellent decision making.

 

Guy threw three picks, and 4TDs.  And Maryland destroyed us.

 

I think there is a lesson there...

Plus Bench had one rushing attempt against MD for 17 yards, the guy's not like he's in a wheel chair. He can run

Did you see the run? He fumbled the snap and ran up the middle behind his running back though a wide open hole. Flowers would have gotten a touchdown if he had that hole.

Flowers would have been sacked, again.

It was a designed quarterback run, or at least it wasn't a pass, so there was no way he would have gotten sacked, and unlike bench flowers can handle bad snaps.

Flowers has no arm. Yes, sometimes he gets the ball in the general vicinity of the receiver, but it's such a wobbling beachball duck of a pass, typically the DBs can recover, and the WR has to make the decision- short arm a pass that's only going for 7 yards on 3rd and 12 anyway, or be decapitated by a safety because the throw just lays him out over the middle. 

 

Bench is the best of 2 very bad choices. QF can run around, but that's what RB's are for. Flowers is like Honey Boo-Boo in a calculus class, neither can pass.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
