What an incredible achievement!! For Adam Weber to surpass the 10,000 yard career mark for passing yardage as a Gopher QB, I offer my heartiest congratulations to him.

As a fellow Minnesotan, I'm both very impressed and proud of what he has accomplished.

Even more amazing is the way in which he has conducted himself, both on and off the field, over the past 5 years. Always humble, always classy, always articulate, always deflecting praise to players and coaches around him...

And unfortunately, always having to take a big bite out of that enormous $#!T sandwich he has been served since his redshirt freshman season at the 'U'....whether it's all the booing from the student section, or getting ripped on line, or the steady stream of offensive coordinators and ever-changing playbooks and coaching philosophies he's had to deal with.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

"Let's spread it out...no, I mean...let's pound the rock...no, I mean let's do this...no, I mean let's do that...":rolleyes:

In a few years, when the passage of enough time softens the harsh, local criticism that has been directed at Weber, we will all be proud to see him being introduced in the starting line-up on Monday Night Football..."ADAM WEBER, Quarterback, UNIVERSITY of MINNESOTA"...:)
 

I agree with everything you said with the exception of that last bit.

While I respect and love how this guy has taken his lumps with class.. He's simply not good enough to be playing any sort of ball on Monday Night Football unless it's on Madden.

Oh, and congrats, Web!!! Here's to hoping Horton calls more passing plays for you.. Would love to see you get closer to Brees' record..
 

I would also like to congratulate Adam on a 15-31 record as the starting Qb and soon to be 15-35. A record that MAY stand the test of all-time.
 

I am not so sure he can't play in NFL. He has learned four different offenses. He looked good passing to Decker, now put all the receivers at this level or above. I think he would be drafted in the later rounds , but I think he will get a shot.
 

Turd

Yes,
I too want to say congrats to Adam Weber for having the highest amount of garbage time stats in the history of college football. How many touchdowns and yards has this turd thrown for when the game has been out of reach and the other team is playing their 2nd string offense? I will never in my life say that he was one of the greatest Big Ten quarterbacks or the best quarterback in Gopher history. He is lucky he had Brewster as a coach and went to the University of Minnesota, because any other coach or team would have benched his a** and found someone else. Weber you are brutal and will never be an NFL starting quarterback.

A lot of that wasn't Weber's fault. He had no rushing attack for FOUR years, he had a subpar defense and the coaching staff changed the offense each year. NOBODY does that. He also had coaches trying to change his throwing motion with different coordinators working in different schemes each year. It was brutal - he had a lot of adversity and he came through by throwing over 10,000 yards --- 5th ALL TIME in Big Ten history. You can say what you want, but I think what Weber did here was fairly remarkable after all he went through while he was here.

Also -- I think it's low class to bad mouth the kids. Whether you like him or not, Weber will most likely get a look at the NFL next year.

...........see above comments because that goes for you, too.
 


Do you honestly think Weber is a good quarterback? If you do, you know nothing about football and should not be in this message board.
 



Dinkything let everyon have a little of what your smoking even the team

Pass that stuff around man because we could all use some of that happy time good stuff to create some cheer and to cheer us up from all of the losing that Mr. Weber has entertained us with. Let's count the W's for Adam Weber. One W in his name, One W in 2007, 7 W's in 2008, 6 W's in 2009 and now one W in 2010.
That is a grand total of 16 W's for his career giving him extra credit for the 1 W in his last name.
That is what I will remember most about One-W Adam, all of those "tremendous" W's and that this is still Brew's crew. That and that Weber gives the Gophers the "best chance to win". Easy to say that when you never give anyone else a chance in a game.

Good luck to him on that Monday night NFL dream, maybe he will make it as a TV commentator on ESPN some day because NFL team's do not hire college QB's with not a whole lot of W's behind there statistics.

Well, he is a lot better than you think he is. What you fail to realize is that football is a team game and when you look at what Weber had around him for 4 years, I think it's remarkable he is going to walk out of here with as many records as he is and he is 5th all time Big Ten passing yards. He did it with a subpar offensive line for most of it, a coach that could not make it through his fourth season, no rushing attack and a subpar defense. Check the stats on all that if you don't believe me. That is a lot of pressure on the kid - I still think he is going to get a shot in the NFL next year.

He has a strong arm, good scrambling ability and is athletic enough to make it if he is drafted or picked up by the right team. He makes some mistakes, but he can also throw some really pretty throws where he threads the needle, like he did on his three touchdown passes today. I especially liked his third TD - that was a nice throw!!
 

This is nothing more than a product of AW being a 4 year starter on a lousy team that got blown out a lot and threw the ball during garbage time. You'll notice the 4 guys ahead of him were 3 year starters at the most, played on winning teams, and got pulled late in games when comfortably ahead.

I will give you some of that, sure, but you also have to agree that it is a lot tougher to pile up the stats when you have no running attack and they are expecting you to throw, and a defense that doesn't get the job done and an offensive line that doesn't give you time to throw -- that really puts the pressure on the QB.
 

Wow you people are complete a$$holes. This kid has worked his a$$ off for the University of Minnesota for 5 years, throws for 10,000 yards, and in the thread COMMENDING HIM ON THAT SINGLE ACHIEVEMENT you've decided to throw him under the bus.

One question do you think he wanted to lose those games? You f'ing pedestrians.
 

almost forgot. Congrats Adam, 10,000 yards is one hell of an accomplishment.

Yes it is, and I am glad I have at least one person on here that agrees that Weber should be saluted and not condemned by Gopher fans!!
 

You guys are brutal. While I agree that the NFL is not in the calling for Weber and that he hasn't been all that good and that he's made many crucial mistakes that you'd hope a guy of his experience wouldn't make ... what's the freakin' guy suppose to do?

"Gee coach, I think the beer bellied middle aged guys on Gopherhole.com are right, I am a turd so I think I'll just bag it so you can put it a different quarterback that's not very good either. And that scholarship you gave me, heck who needs it?"

Bitch at Mason and Brewster and every coach in the program for giving him playing time if you want, but I don't see one thing Adam Weber has done to deserve the crap I see on this board. And that includes his career win-loss record.
 

Congratulations Adam! 10,000 yards--and he's now in the company of Big Ten giants like Drew Brees and Brett Basanez. Truly an amazing accomplishment.

The people who think Weber is a terrible QB don't understand a thing about football. He has had his issues, and he had a particularly rough junior campaign where he didn't play very well. But, his overall body of work is impressive, and he is having a very good senior year.

Today was a good example. Aside from missing an open WR on exactly one 3rd down pass, Weber played a very solid game that should have been enough to get the Gophers a W. Some of those passes were really impressive. Those who think Weber is terrible based on his W-L record are unaware that this isn't Tennis, and there are a lot of other guys besides the QB who need to play well to get a W.

Honestly, I wish we could have an expert use a 'mute' button for those who insist on posting negative comments about things which they literally don't understand at all. I would love for everyone to be given a football knowledge test about concepts, formations, execution, etc. The people like Mr. Vandelay or Todd Mcwhatever who can''t tell a read option from a play action pass would be banned from making ignorant statements about that which is beyond their grasp.
 

Amen, jags.

It is extremely low class to bad mouth the kids on here.

I shouldn't dignify some of the replies in this thread with another post...:eek:

But it's entirely likely that the Brew goes 0-48 if Weber would have transferred when Mason was canned.

I mean...you folks know Weber has been the starting QB...and there really has NEVER been a close #2 Gopher QB during the past 4 years. No one has come close to breathing down Weber's neck!
 

He can't graduate soon enough for me.....watching him underthrow, overthrow and just flat out miss receivers has nothing to do with how many coaches he has had. Yeah, he throws a few nice passes but they are to far and few between. So he threw for 10,000 yards, the bottom line is WINNING! we would have won a few more games if he was a more accurate passer.
 


I understand throwing into triple coverage is a bad idea

Praise Weber all you want. This team was in the football game until that interception into triple coverage and that was a 14 point swing. This QB could go 15-35, it's a team game but he drove the car during all of this stretch and had as much to do with all of the losing as the defense and O-line that consistently get heaped under the bus.

There was no where to throw the ball and the team was driving, live to play another day. Chuck it out of bounds, take off and run anything instead of throwing into coverage with a safety that much over the top of the play. He has a strong arm, then why so many darts at people's feet or late throw's that are 1-2 seconds late into coverage. He is not a bad QB but plays like one. That is what is maddening about him, talented individual that cannot win games or rally a team. Just far to inconsistent to ever be a QB that plays consistently in the NFL. He likely will make a Taxi squad could even pick up a paycheck as a 3rd guy but starting on Monday night a little far fetched.
Point is this team could have and past teams should have won more games and had more W's with this guy at QB and he contributed just as much to the losing as all of everyone else that get's blamed. Four more games until there is a new QB, no more blame and no more games.
 


4 Games

It hurts me to say this because I am a huge Gopher football fan, but I cannot wait until this season is over. Only four games left to watch Adam Weber skip passes to his receivers, throw into triple coverage, throw behind receivers, and make one good throw out of ten so the people on gopherhole can lick his b*lls. You people don't see the big picture. You see his stats on the internet and think that he did a nice job. What you don't see is how inaccurate of a passer he is and how bad of a team leader he is. This is his 5th year and he still makes freshman mistakes. I am looking forward to next season; new coach, new attitude, and most importantly a new quarterback.

Ditto Weber would be third string or a receiver in any other program big deal 5 years to enter the same numbers as others that played for 3!!!!!!
 

Weber getting to 10,000 yards is pretty meaningless. It's a testament to his durability for sure, but not much else.
 

Any of you posters who think that Weber has (1) the arm strength necessary to play in the NFL, or (2) has the accuracy, I would suggest you come and sit where I sit at TCF and watch him play. Further, he has no ability to find a secondary receiver. He locks onto a single receiver and if he isn't open then Weber is going to be throwing into double--triple--coverage. Nice kid, but hasn't shown any improvement since his fresh year.
