Drake Lindsey WILL BE BACK with the Gophers!!!!!!!

Interesting thread. I started following the Gophers in 1969. My admittedly imperfect memory remembered Tony Dungy being better than these stats show he was. He also had to play in a very run-oriented offense......

Dungy ran the veer and he was very good in that role. I saw enough of him live and he was a terrible passer. He didn't have a stellar set of receivers (Upchurch and Kullas excepted), but he threw an ugly ball. Of course, the veer was all about rushing. During Dungy's four-year tenure the Gophers complete 35 passes in 1973, 51 in 1974, before hitting triple figures with 127 in 1975, and falling back to 104 in 1976.

People act like being mobile is the solution to everything. It’s only valuable if the qb can also pass and most of all can make the correct decisions.

I don't see one single person "act(ing) like being mobile is the solution to everything."
I do, however, see people claiming that being mobile isn't a valuable add on for a QB.
Which is silly.

Morgan is better stat wise. Morgan was on better teams though and yes Weber threw a lot more.

I would still take Weber over Morgan

AK's stats are better than Drakes and I would take Drake every time.

AKs stats are not better than Drakes. Not sure what you're looking at.

Even though his stats don’t measure up, Dungy was maybe the most exciting QB to watch of the bunch. No fan was ever nervous when Tony had the ball as he seemed to just get the job done. Morgan had some of that in 2019 when he always seemed to make the right play. And Brosmer had such a confident year. Too bad he was a one and done.

I’ve seen it many times on here that people say we need a mobile QB. It can be a valuable add on, but there’s a lot of good QBs that don’t have great mobility and there’s a lot of super mobile QBs that are terrible.
