I am trying to keep positive about Childers as he is what we have and he has made some plays, but he is the worst rated QB in the MAC (QBR of 30.9 v. 85.4 for the Toledo QB) and 124 out of 134 in FBS. JL had a QBR of 70.6 in 2013 with Carey as the HC.

That 3 and 4 is a play I'll remember for awhile at EMU, Childers did not have any open receivers (which is about 80 percent of NIU pass plays), he found a way to escape danger and just found a way to get a first down and keep the drive away. Those numbers you list there are a product of playing in a Rod Carey offense, QB has no chance to put up numbers

Lynch did and even Hare did. What's Childer's excuse? Not that I'm a big Carey fan.

I am obviously a huge Carey defender, but if there isn’t a better option than Childers on the roster that 100% is his fault.

The bigger concern as it pertains to Carey is that he does have a better option on the roster, but he can’t identify it or just won’t give them a chance.

Seems to be both from Carey, lack of giving someone else an opportunity and not identifying it. We had to watch Ryan Graham suck as Anthony Maddie was sitting on the bench then moved to WR. Then we had to watch Ryan Graham suck again while Santa was on the bench. The only time Maddie and Santa were given an opportunity was because of injuries to Graham. Do we have to wait for Childers to get injured just to find out what we have sitting on the bench?
