QB is the strongest. It seemed thin after the season, with ALL the transfers. But this is the most talented room we've ever had.*

*Conventionally....no disrespect to the freaks that were Harnish and Lynch.

There’s some crazy upside talent in the qb room. But in practical terms, Bowers is the only guy who has thrown a pass at the FBS level. And as much as I’m a Bowers’ believer, his QBR at Cal was 122 and at NIU it was 122. Plenty of qualifiers to explain why it’s that low, but for now that’s what it is. Same thing at RB...talent,, no proof. Not saying the WRs are great...but Richie and tucker are pretty darn good and proven. Then there’s some highly ranked recruits behind them.

Guess we will know more tomorrow! Finally!!

Speaking of the WR depth - how about Dennis Robinson holding on and not falling totally off the chart? He was totally ineffective out there last season - but he has room to grow in to a role at WR. Some guys are late bloomers, so good for him not falling in to oblivion.

At 6’ 5” he’s a target size QB like to have. We don’t get many that size KG, Brescasin about all I can come up with.

His time is now.

I’ve been enamored with Robinson’s size since he got here. But admittedly I gave up on him last season. I really hope something has clicked for him and he comes on strong.

I think the easiest/most likely route to us sitting here in 6 weeks talking about NIU being better than is expected is 1. Bowers staying healthy and 2. him taking a huge step forward in year 2 of the offense. There's enough talented pass catchers with the two you mentioned in addition to Tucker, Crawford, and Rudolph that there's high upside there. I also think Collins should be able to slide right in at RB.

If Bowers can stay healthy, that's how NIU surprises.

All I could think was, "hey he has some pretty good run after the catch ability, too bad he can't catch a cold!" I will be ecstatic if he is able to finally overcome that obstacle and contribute!

I'm 100% done w Robinson. He must be a all-world practice player. In the games he underperforms. Catch the ball is your job. Do that first then run. ( i hate talking negative on guys but I just want a guy to make a play and can't recall the last time he did and I soooo want him to be successful. )
Next man up.
