I can hardly wait for next year so I won't have to see your insufferable posts.

Indulge me for a second. Say Mitch has an amazing year, breaks some school records, breaks all of his previous records, etc. What will you say?

I think they're required to select at least one player from each school to be on the list. Kind of like the way they choose players to be on the MLB All-Star team.

There aren't nearly enough players on the list for this to be true, and many teams have multiple players on the list.

Plus, with only 33 QBs on the list there is further proof the list is only for the elite.

Well break all of his previous records doesn't mean much (for example, making it all the way to 15 tds this season isn't going to mean anything at all). But let's hope Mitch becomes the senior QB that he can be. We still can't be sure we have any receivers that will stand out, so the deck is stacked against him.
 

Always shows you that we are always tough on our own players. Players do improve and let's support that. If you want to be negative, take some trolls with you.

Leidner could complete 30 of 31 passes in a game and he would complain about the one incompletion.
 


Call me Positive Patty on Leidner Island, but I foresee good things from him this year. I'm not saying he'll win the "Maxwell Award" or be the Heisman. But I predict better consistency ...and clock management (cough, Michigan, cough). But, seriously.

Past behavior says he'll improve again. Each year he has been a quarterback his overall stats got better. Hell, they even got better behind the sorta train wreck OL we had last year!

EDIT: Keep in mind I said overall, I understand that certain specific stats may have gone down from year to year, but his overall performance as a QB has gotten progressively better each year.
