I'm just pointing out that people are over reacting to how awesome Marcus has done probably due to the fact that the QB play has sucked recently and they didn't expect him to be this good. I on the other hand have been always saying that he has a strong arm by NFL standards and more speed than anyone would guess and that his only issue has been maturity. Now that he's mattured its extremely satisfying to see him produce like he has when he could've quit like a lot of people would have. Whoever plays is going to do great, the offense is in good hands.
One thing needs to be made clear, Marcus hasn't played 'lights out'. 54% against sdsu and that horrible pick 6 were not great. He missed some throws that a guy getting this type of praise should make in his sleep. He's also getting a lot of help from his WRs. His legs have been his/our saving grace on third down but we can't count on them all the time. I'm not sure how I've gone from the one touting Marcus and how good he is to me trying to take the red s off his chest but people need to sip the kool aid instead of chugging it bisonville style.
Hanson is better, more accurate, more consistent, and is better at reading and manipulating coverage. He earned the job for a reason. Marcus has played very well and deserves a lot of credit but Braden earned the job because he's better.
per Wayne Nelson, Hendrickson will start this week and Hanson returns to practice.
Looks like the coaches are being smart with Hanson and letting him knock the rust off and strengthen his leg.
The big difference is in the return game. Dressler was great Hardin is good. Dressler was faster but obviously shorter and didn't have the 'go get it' ability of Hardin
Now let's have a defense do something so we can talk about them in a positive light and run the damn ball for some balance that will allow us to succeed in bad weather
That would be awesome if Marcus is able to make enough of an impression to get a look at the NFL. Hanson will get a look so that could be two in one year which would be unheard of.
He is a true pocket passer. Marcus is one of the fastest guys on the team, no comparison as far as mobility goes. Hanson does have very good pocket awareness though
To me it looked like he didn't real it in completely until his left foot touched down out of bounds. Either way, you can't blame the officials for the pick 6 or the running into the punter or the missed tackles.
When a coach says 'week to week, month to month' that is not good at all. That means they have no timetable other than what his body shows them. You'd think his ankle would've healed by now so something must not have gone right.
I have to believe that last night will light a fire under the ass of the entire defense and they bring the right nasty attitude to the rest of the games and punish our opponents from here on out.
