I read on the other site Bear was third string.    That’s very disappointing in itself.

If you mean that being designated as third-string QB is disappointing to HIM, then I get it. But that often happens to entering freshman QBs, at least until they prove themselves worthy of being designated as second-string or even first-string QB.
   
If you mean that his being designated as third-string QB is disappointing to YOU, then I don't see why you feel that way. Do you think he should have been designated as first or second string QB before playing a single down of college ball as a QB? 

Please clarify what you mean.
