Absolutely. Carey got it all wrong evaluating what he had. But I cut him some slack when people say he didn't get the next great NIU QB. Recruiting a Lynch or Harnish is purely dumb luck. Developing and evaluating what you have is skill. Not an easy skill when you have such a mixed bag like Graham, Santa, Childers, but a necessary skill none the less. And it's the main reason I say Carey needs to go. He's failing in the one area you just have to succeed at.

Why is Toledo able to recruit stud QB after stud QB? Is it that they have better luck than we do? Or is it that we spend more time looking for a QB who may not be the best passer but is a good runner?

Can you list these "stud" Qbs? They had woodside and Gradkowki. Those were studs. Between them they had Owens(who's numbers are almost identical to Hares passing, just more attempts, and far less running. And Hare was not a stud) Dantin and Opelt. None of those 3 are studs. Unless I'm missing someone, they've had no more luck than NIU. I can't think of any MAC team that had more than 2 studs over the last 15 years.
