There is a culture at NIU now that upperclassmen play no matter what which is a little concerning to me because it reminds me of the Lovie Smith era with the Bears. At some point talent has to matter.

I don't think anyone thinks Graham is the answer. Unless the question is "who is the QB least likely to be a complete disaster?" Graham is my last choice because he's the worst fit for the offense. Can't run. Can't throw deep. But the guy isn't a complete dumpster fire. Hes faced a really tough schedule. And he could still improve. Maybe..don't want to count on it. But just for reference..this is the first 230 pass attempts for Graham and another Mac QB who won a MACC recently.

Admittedly that's not proof of anything other than I can cherry pick stats if need be.

Ok, I'm too lazy to solve this puzzle. Is it Lynch? If so, we're missing the stat representing Lynch's biggest talent. May as well compare me to Walter Payton in that case.

Zach Terrell. Who is somewhat Graham like physically.

Better comp than Lynch, although I think the offense would need to be changed to fit Graham if he is the guy. I don't see that happening, so hopefully they go with Santa or Childers since they seem to be able to run a little.

And Childers can at least pass too which imo is still important for a QB. NIU is said to be a run dominant team this season, but other teams will be focusing to stop that and I think it will be a tough haul for NIU to be consistent. We need a QB that can throw too which is why I hope it's Childers.
