Offense:
Quarterbacks: Senior Carson Coffman came out of the spring as the starter. With his helmet on, he looks like Screech Powers out there. Can throw the ball a maximum of 28 yards, so if K-State fans are looking for the long ball to one of their unexperienced receivers, forgetaboutit. Couldn't win in 2009, and won't win games for the Cats in 2010.
Samuel Lamur might appear to be the best bet as QB for the Snyder Offensive system, but this guy couldn't even start at JUCO. I mean cripes, my next door neighbors kid went down to Butler CC and backed up their QB for 2 years and he didn't even play organized football until his senior year in high school.
Collin Klein was injured in the Spring and didn't play in the spring game. Played WR last year; so that should tell you just how polished of a QB this kid is.
GRADE = D-
Runningbacks: Daniel Thomas is a stud. Was a QB @ JUCO. Had to learn on the fly. In 2010 he'll probably get injured in the first game against UCLA -- that's the luck of the Cats. As far as backups, nobody has played any significant downs, so their pretty much high school kids wanting to get out there and play.
GRADE = B+
OFFENSIVE LINE: 4 starters back from 2009. Well, in 2009 these guys sucked, so that's not good news. It's like saying "I remember back in 8th grade when Susie Carmichael was average looking. Over the summer she stayed average and in 9th grade, she'll still looked average"
GRADE = C-
RECEIVERS:
Everyone is pretty much new out there. Yeah, yeah, Broderick Smith and Chris Harper played receiver @ their other schools. Combined they caught like 10 passes. Yippee. At least Lamark Brown transferred. That hikes up the grade a level. And who the hell is playing tight end this year for the Cats? Does anyone know? We'll just say Tightee McTighterman is going to start. I'd guess Tightee has better hands than Lamark Brown... given.
GRADE = D+
