It'll be really interesting to see how Mollberg develops next year and where he ends up. I know stats aren't everything, but his are not eye popping. 50% completion percentage, 6 ints, 7 tds passing. He had a boatload of rushing TDs and yards. The kid's a heck of an athlete!

I have not seen Mollberg play so this is just an analysis off the numbers for 2010 on his Rivals page. He seems to be more of a run first QB as he only attempted 105 passes and completed less than 50% (57 completions) and had 6 INT (about 5% of attempted passes were picked). That doesn't seem overly impressive for a team in which we all wanted a better PASSING game this season. I do realize he is young and #'s will likely improve next year however he seems to be more of a running style QB in my book.

Edit: I see Hando posted almost verbatim what I just wrote in the other thread.

Isaac Hayes will get multiple BCS offers. But next year in Minnesota is very deep for talent.

One analysis:

Mollberg is a tough dual threat quarterback with athleticism and running ability to not only move in the pocket but make throws on the run and act as a rushing threat himself. As a passer, Joe has one of the strongest arms Minnesota has produced in a decade, a quick release and is capable of making all the throws at the next level. He’ll have to polish his footwork and overall quarterbacking skills at the next level, but he’s absolutely a Big Ten caliber prospect. Joe is also a multi-sport athlete for Detroit Lakes and growing as a team leader.

Man, I hope the Lakeville South QB comes to NDSU. When I watched him, I thought he would be a legit D1aa type QB. He has a strong arm.

[westnodak93bison]

imho, strong arm is over rated. We need good leadership, sound decision making, accuracy and adequate size.
