The mystery has always been how all these 3-4k yd passers end up in the MAC and were happy when our QB can hit a receiver in stride. I've never understood our futility recruiting the position.
Look on it that it wasn't TOTAL futility; just fallout from a matter of timing (Edsall)/ bad luck & injury (Casey)/suspect coaching decisions (PPGDL).
We had 2 pretty good recruits in recent vintage.
- Edsall, before leaving) recruited Nebrich..... who had passed for 5K yards (Senior year) in VA high school football and PPGDL sat him, whereupon Moorehead was no fool and brought Nebrich to Fordham where he passed for somewhere between 8 -10000 yards in an uptempo offense. We will never know how he could've faired here??
-Losing Casey to injury we will never know how really good he could've been as he matured with 3 more full seasons (including the season he was hurt...).
Feel very confident we are on the upswing......
