Rank Last 10 QBs

[tjamz]

Based SOLELY on their career performance with the Bison. Not entirely based on stats. Many might be based on emotion/memory.

Stick (Jensen with a better arm)
Jensen (Had the will to win)
Wentz (Rode the bench even though he was arguably more gifted than Jensen)
Walker (Kinda set us on the path to success even though he was never playoff eligible, he was FUN to watch though)
Lance (Had he put in 2 full years+ as a starter I'd probably have him listed higher, probably the best QB of the bunch overall)
Strauss
Mertens
Gorder
Noland (possibly a great leader, but not a great QB)
Mohler (was never a Jose fan, I liked him less than I like Zeb)

Brock has pulled ahead of Trey

If my memory is right he was our 3rd string quarterback in the 2000 playoff run. The 1st 2 QB's got injured and Gorder filled in before NDSU ultimately lost in the infamous Kitty Litter game against Delra State in the national semifinals.

I think his first name is Greg IIRC.

I have a very vivid memory of watching two quarterbacks get injured in Omaha. I think both may have been knee injuries?

And then the AD got busted cruising a park lol

My official ballot:

Lance
Stick
Jensen
Wentz
Walker
Stauss
Mohler
Mertens
Miller
Davis

Walker committed to a D2 school but was FBS talent. if you are on your own 20 years line in the 4th quarter with 30 seconds on the clock and no timeout, I want Walker under center.

Only if Heckendorf is lining up wide...

Vraa or Urzendowski could get it done too

I have this memory too. Weren't we down to doing direct snaps to the RB in the shotgun?

And if someone chooses to base their ranking on overall impact to the program, putting Walker over Lance would have some merit. Guys like Walker and Jensen weren't as talented as Wentz, Stick, and Lance but they helped turned things around and get the ball rolling.

Even by that scenario I still rank Lance. He delivered a perfect season and a ring. As I said though, that's no fault of Walker's. Just the time in which he played.

And thank God for those studs who played through the transition. The streak doesn't happen without them.
