Ummm, he didn't even mention Daniel Thomas as a RB. For that mistake alone....fail.

Interesting split--the K-State O-line was 62nd in run blocking and 7th in pass blocking. You figure Freeman does get some credit for his elusiveness and ability to take a hit and still get a throw off. Both of those things would help sack numbers. But still, that's a pretty big difference.
Prince had no clue how to run the ball. 2006 was so-so...but '07 and '08 were atrocious.
Weren't James Johnson and Leon Patton Snyder recruits that Prince convinced to stay on?

Patton was for sure.
I think JJ was a prince guy though.

I wish I had a decade's worth of play-by-play data. I'd love to see if there were any other first-round quarterbacks who led offenses that ranked 95th or worse in most Passing Downs categories. You look at the top of the Passing Downs Passing S&P+ rankings, and you see most of the top QBs in college football--Mark Sanchez (1st), Daryl Clark (2nd), Colt McCoy (3rd), Sam Bradford (4th), Matthew Stafford (5th), Tim Tebow (6th), Jevan Snead (7th), Max Hall (10th), Zac Robinson (11th), Chase Daniel (12th). Josh Freeman's offense ranked between those of Idaho and Kent State. Not the most sparkling of company.
That's a fun statistic for Freeman apologists. Dude couldn't get it done when it counted most, and the numbers bear that out.

If it wouldn't have been for Freeman, there wouldn't have been any moments that "counted" in the first place.

I'm picturing a guy like Freeman as our QB......
with a running back like J.J. Smith or Darren Sproles..
and,
with our 2002 defense on the other side of the ball.
What would we be saying about him then.?

"Man, I wish this guy would convert more third downs..." :'(
