Does Buck Pierce resemble Dunigan or DD?

He's a little of both I'd say.

I lean to the DD vs MD side of the argument.
Matt was a great player but if he played more like DD he'd have lasted longer as he really took too many hits. I am a huge fan of all 3 of these guys.
Buck may be a bit confusing to pin point now as he came from an option O for 3 of 4 years and the stories of his toughness and running 50 yards with a broken ankle and playing with a separated shoulder sounds like Matt Dunigan. Right now he is looking at how DD runs the O and when I see him at the practices I see DD out there in BP, not Matt so much.
What a nice comparison to be making.

I have not seen enough of BP to make a comparison of anyone else but DD. Now if Buck throws a pick inside the ten yardline in a WDF I may change my mind.
Really if you watched both in TC, you were hard pressed to know which was throwing.

Dunigan did it right and did it in a Grey Cup ... 8)

That is the one. Besides BP won't be making runs with his head the same way Dunigan did by leading with it.

I too lean towards Dave Dickenson

If you're reading this Buck, I saw you with Paul Walker at the OB. heard your new `favorite game is Botchie Ball.

Lionheart says Bucks gameball is in California from the Hamilton game. Crazy P did the right thing or face the wrath of Sec.17. BB

The way Pierce stands in and just exudes confidence and poise, has to remind you of Diamond Dave.

I would say stature and number resembles Matt Dunigan.

Pierce was 9-of 12 or 75 per cent tonight with the game on the line. On the season he's now 12 of 15, or 80 per cent. There's only one other quarterback who can put up those kind of numbers.

He can thank JC for hanging onto a couple of those, but you are right the 75% mark isn't Dunigan's style.

Wow, you guys are comparing a guy who's thrown 15 passes to:
1.The best QB in the league today.
2.One of the all time league leaders who holds the single game passing record of 713 yards.
Perhaps we shouldn't get too far ahead of ourselves??

Thus the word "resembles" is being used a lot.maddeep73 wrote:Wow, you guys are comparing a guy who's thrown 15 passes to:
