He can still be the best we have and not good enough to get us wins.
Thorne has blown leads, thrown pick 6s and fumbled games away. Its not like he is playing well and gosh darn it, couldnt get us over the finish line

You understand how none of this actually means the backups are necessarily better, right? Again, the two things aren’t mutually exclusive. We are hoping they somehow are, but that’s all it is.

We need some QB packages with Sam Jackson.

Could Hank have led us to a win in the second half of Arky? We will never know. But what we do know is that Thorne came in and blew the game with more picks and terrible Qb play.

Thorne isnt in the right offensive system to play well. Too much emphasis is being put on his arm and not his RB. Thorne and Jarquez playing in sync against Kentucky was no mistake.
As for the picks...Thorne has thrown 7. Beck has already thrown 12. QB mediocrity is here and in many programs but at least we didnt have to give a lamborghini to get it.
The only coach that impresses me with their QB recruiting is Lane. He grabs portal QBs to compete and then other QBs to compete for the backup job. He knows QB recruiting gets his bills paid.

I’m not arguing for or against playing the backups, I actually said I think Hank gets the start. Just pointing out how illogical this argument is:
None of your statements actually mean any of the backups are better than Thorne. It is based on hope. That’s fine, it’s just illogical.

NO HE ISNT If Thorne gave us the best chance of winning, and all we do is lose, how the frick can you come to that conclusion?

That’s fine, it’s just illogical.
But keep on parroting the line, Thorne gives us the best chance at WINNING!

Thorne played flawlessly as well. I dont care who runs the ball or individual efforts. Just run the ball and let Thorne manage the game. We have three great RBs, one good receiver, one mid QB, and we force the pass. That's beyond retarded. You DTHB weirdos are the mouth breathers that wont see that

Beck certainly has more help all over the field than Thorne.

Well he threw three interceptions, no titties, and 175 yards and still beat Texas by two titties
Thorne completes 18-30, 1 TD, no interceptions, and one loss and yall are begging for a bum behind him.

Their OL for starters.
They have 8 players on offense that have already been named to All-SEC teams.
And get this: you only think Beck is good based on even better talent from last year.

I’ve not argued this once.

He still might, even given all the points you made. You’ve yet to actually make any point as to why any of the other players actually give us a better chance at winning. The fact you can’t understand how that is a possibility is baffling. Your whole argument hinges on the hope that the backups are somehow better than him, with no real proof to back that up.
Thorne is awful, but it is still perfectly plausible he is the least awful we have. And again, I’ve already said I think Hank gets the start and I’m fine with us going with someone else at this point. Whoever we go with still could be worse than Thorne and not give us as good of a chance to win. Simple as that.

Dont know. Ask Bobo and Searals. They have had injuries too. I know for a fact we wanted Tate Ratledge and Dylan Fairchild.

Sure, if you believe throwing an INT into triple coverage and several dump offs to the RB are impressive.

He said “he’s the best we’ve got”. He didn’t mention anything about winning.
But we now have 3 games without him at all so we will see.

WHAT LOL?
What an absolutely bizarre interpretation of that game.
The team scored ZERO (0) points in the half of football that Hank Brown started. They scored 14 points (all of their points in the game) in the half of football that Thorne played.
I don't know man, do you think the team is going to win any games by scoring 0 points? Oh, maybe Hank brown would have done better had he played the 2nd half? Have you considered that had Thorne played the 1st half, they have a higher probability of winning...considering that he was the only QB of the two who scored ANY points in that game at all? Why would you assume that the QB who scored 0 points would go on to win the game?
"Thorne came in and blew the game" - who do you think you're lying to? If you truly think that this is a reasonable take, you need to find something else to do because football is a little too complex for you. This is a sub-70 IQ take.
