The best QB last season after Hare was moved to WR (Maddie) and four years later and they still don't sound high on Graham.

I love this argument. The coaching staff gets dogged for not developing the bad players and gets no credit for developing the "elite talent" players. Yeah, okay. Disregard every other NIU All-MAC player that was recruited as a 2* player out of high school...those guys must have just had natural elite skills that they developed on their own.

As noted, the QB situation was definitely hurt by the Collins flaking/Ingold bailing. Also, Hare/Maddie would have been a lot more productive if they weren't injured constantly. You could say the same thing for Graham...I have no idea what he might have been without injuries+concussions but I'm sure they didn't help his development. Should they have had more behind him? Yeah. At the same time, people were excited about Santa, Childers AND Hall coming here. Injuries have absolutely decimated our QBs over the past 3 years.
