I don’t think points per play and turnovers per play are be all end all stats for an offense. Anyway, I wonder why we had so many turnovers...probably not because of an inexperienced quarterback.
I’m not saying these “NFL” guys were all-Americans, I’m saying they were good enough to get at least a cup of coffee in the league. K-State hasn’t had a TON of those guys at the skill positions over the years. Having 5 on one team probably hasn’t happened very many other times.
That you called it the worst supporting cast since 1989 is crazy, and now you’re doubling down. You can just say you were exaggerating and we can all move on.
Maybe those 90-92 teams were crap, I don't know. I do know those freshmen on the 90 team accomplished a hell of a lot more than the freshmen on the 06' squad. I'll hedge, that '06 team was worse offensively than any LHC Bill Snyder team after 1990 and any Chris Klieman team at K-State, including this one.
Well maybe the
team was worse, but I'm not pinning Freeman's freshman TD/INT ratio on Andrew Erker. But the offense had some really good parts, including one of the best WRs K-State's ever had, and also another really good WR, and then another pretty good WR too! Plus pretty good RBs!
Not for nothing, but that 2006 team's starting linebackers were Archer, Diles, and OG Reggie Walker. Plus Rob Jackson and Justin Roland (who I love). That 2006 team should have been awesome.
Without thinking too hard about it, 2015's surrounding cast was way worse than 2006. The leading WR on that team was Deante Burton. Charles Jones and Silmon in the backfield.
Hell, I'd say 2006 surrounding cast was better than 2008 too. You put Junior Josh Freeman on that 2006 team and that offense is salty AF.
