jayhoxx axed me to post it so here it is in it's entirety for those who cannot "enter the phog"

this thread is amusing concerning the QB position. It's not even close in terms
of talent.
But let's look at the numbers more closely...
STARTS only. I really don't care what Freeman did as a true freshman coming in
as a relief pitcher early in the season.
Freeman went 4-4 as a starter( 4-3 in Big 12 play).
Meier went 4-4 as a starter (2-3 in Big 12 play).
Freeman had a much tougher schedule as a starter.

1st year head coach and offense - Meier - No Freeman - yes
Bowl - Meier - No Freeman - Yes
Bottom line is that Meier had a solid running game and an offense surrounding
him where there were experienced players both as starters and in an offensive
system under a head coach who had been there for 5 years. Freeman had an
inconsistent running game and an offense surrounding him where there were
INexperienced players in the new offense under a first year head coach. And he
had a receiving corps that was banged up throughout the year.
Meier did throw more TD passes by virtue of a weaker schedule. Congrats to
Kerry.
