Of course they're way behind Walker. Walker's playing and progressing, and they weren't.

If a QB is 6"3" and has "talent", he's getting looks by several mid major FBS+teams.

FCS and D2 are flooded with 6'3" QB's who don't have talent, but have been coached up, which with the benefit of hindsight plays a more important role than talent.

Yea there are exceptions, but let's be real, just because we're NDSU doesn't mean we're privy to those exceptions.

I would hardly consider SDSU QB's "talents". Then again, if they're 6'3", who cares if they can actually play the game. They tall.

So you agree with me.......maybe one NDSU QB recruit could have size and be coached into playing better at the position. Seems that NDSU is willing to do this with one or two of the 6 foot QB's?
I take it you are being a smart ass with the last comment. Those so-so SDSU QB's burned NDSU a couple years ago and led their team to victory this past year.

I don't understand why 6'3" makes them better. I'm sure the Walker height argument has been brought up so I won't even go there.

You stated in an earlier post you didn't understand why Bohl wasn't going after 6'3" QB's "with talent".

I do agree that FCS and D2 are flooded with coached up 6'3" QB's, but I would hardly call the majority of them talented, especially coming out of high school. I also think size is overrated at the QB position in FCS.

Ryan Berry for SDSU last year was 14-23 for 104 yards.

Andy kardoes was benched 3 years ago, and 2 years ago threw for 22-38 338, 2 TD's 2 interceptions in a loss. His stats throughout the year was above average at best. Not impressed by their 6'3" QB's.

Just a FYI. Joe Flacco transfered from Pit. Talent+size like that rarely if ever lands in the hands of a FCS team straight out of HS. I've been trying to tell this for a while now, but NDSU can also get transfers and they don't even have to sign on signing day. Take a chill pill and trust Bohl's recruiting. He must be doing something right to turn in the records he has had the last few years. 10-1 x2 doesn't happen by mistake especially when the list of victories includes 3 FBS teams all on the road.

All I can say is Coach Vigen does a great job with our quarterbacks. We will be fine. Years ago when Mark Speral graduated. Was Mark Nellermoe going to do the job. Yes he did lead the Bison to the National Championship in 1981. Every year you wonder if this athlete will step up etc. I have great faith in this staff. These kids they recruit are great young men and winners on and off the field.

No worries, if Mertens isn't good (I think he will be) we'll put in Parsons and run the split back veer with our 10 RBs!!

Hell Yeah!!:cheers:

How about direct snap to DJ

I'm sure Mertens is 6'2. That's close enough to 6'3 for me! I don't think the height is all it is cracked up to be anyway. I think Walker was barely 6' but they listed him taller. Who cares. So many other things are more important than the height.

Introducing Your #2 Qb!!!!

Jose Mohler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone Check On His Grades Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
