Well we are deep shit if Beale starts. Dude doesnt even look like D2 qb when lights come on.

I’m hoping the shock value of being thrown into action has worn off

Beale has only been put in bad positions/blowouts. He hasn’t had the chance to start a game. He was named as the No. 2 QB for a reason. I was surprised that there were no plays for lunch on Saturday.

I was also surprised that there weren’t any plays for Lunch on Saturday. Kept waiting for it.

Hoping for the best for Beale, but sick of everyone saying his been thrown to the wolves or in bad spots. He practices and prepares for a reason. He has came in as the number one back up in every game his played, knowing at any point he could be in. Hoping that he starts and does really well for us, but don’t agree with everyone saying his been in bad spots. Honestly, his been in the ideal spots if you’re a competitor - chances to win a championship down 7-3 and in FG range already and also to lead a game winning drive in a home opener - should be the dream spot. We’ve scored one touchdown in the last 3 games, hope we can get it sorted and start clicking again this week

He was the 3rd string last year and didn’t start a game. Yeah he prepares but when you are low on the depth chart, you don’t typically practice with the ones that much

Ben went down three weeks before the championship game. He was second string behind only chandler going into the last two games of the season and the championship game. I’m rooting for him, but he was prepared to go in for all the games he has appeared in. I agree that they are tough spots to go in, but you know as a second string you can go in at any point

You do realize that Beale was a true freshman last year straight out of high school. If Lunch was fully healthy last year, he would have been in those games & not Beale. He’s has a full year now so he will be much improved. The holding penalty pretty much killed the last drive against Rice & his last pass was tipped at the line. If the receivers (yes, all of them) would have made catches, we easily beat Rice with the way the defense played.

We were bailed out of the holding backup after Rice committed PI in triple coverage. We still couldn’t get anything going. I blame Des as an atrocious play caller and our stone handed WRs for that.

We had just under two minutes with two timeouts. You had the opportunity to throw in a couple of runs along with passing. Could have had him throw a screen pass to get a little confidence.

I’m going to put it this way. Take it for what you want.

Some back-ups prepare for the big moment and are ready for the spotlight when that opportunity comes. Some don’t and some will never be ready.

Probably time to find out what we have in Lunch. Can he be an above average G6 QB?

Sounds like he didn’t want to answer the question. Not what to make of that. I could make a comment but I will not at this point.

His eyes blinked a dozen times during that statement, he knows, he’s just not saying….and he looks pissed off too!

Beale did not look bad in the limited time he played Saturday

Should we give the start to LUNCH since the OL is less than spectacular? At least he has more mobility. Maybe he could be the second coming of Gauthier or Broadway!
