We have separate threads for Leidner and Streveler. Will there soon be a Demry Croft thread?
First time Athan struggles next year there will be people asking about the backup and wondering why we don't play him.I doubt we'll have to wait long for the big Kaliakmanis-Knuth QB controversy.
Come to think of it, do we know for certain which of the two throws a better spiral?

As we all know....the backup is always better.....but the coaches are just too dumb to give him a chance....![]()
And blitz! You always have to blitz!Two things to remember, always:
— The backup QB is clearly better than the starter
— If a play fails, it's because the staff called the wrong play

In Streveler’s case, that might have been true.First time Athan struggles next year there will be people asking about the backup and wondering why we don't play him.

And running up the middle is NEVER a good play.And blitz! You always have to blitz!
Maybe, although he was always more of a great athlete who played QB as opposed to a great QB who was also a great athlete.In Streveler’s case, that might have been true.
Running = conservative, playing not to loseAnd running up the middle is NEVER a good play.
He's in the NFL because SDSU gave him a chance to make the CFL and then the NFL. He improved along the way. He would have never shown those qualities at the U with a run heavy approach, but he might still be where he is today because of this drive to do so.Maybe, although he was always more of a great athlete who played QB as opposed to a great QB who was also a great athlete.
It would have been interesting to see how he could have done as the starter here but my guess is it may not have gone very well. He had to drop down in class to really have success as a passer.
His time at SDSU probably helped him get a shot in the CFL but he has never really been a great QB against higher level competition. Look at his time in the CFL, he got to start some due to injuries but was used more as a change of pace/running option than he was as a true QB.He's in the NFL because SDSU gave him a chance to make the CFL and then the NFL.

I'd guess his life was ruined because PJ treated him so unfairly. Come to think of it, he might have passed away succumbing to the damage his body suffered when PJ forced him to play hurt.We have separate threads for Leidner and Streveler. Will there soon be a Demry Croft thread?
On this forum I don’t even want to get into what I want to know about Demry…We have separate threads for Leidner and Streveler. Will there soon be a Demry Croft thread?
And if you lose or win close it was because the staff played “not to lose”Two things to remember, always:
