NDSU move back to FCS

You know what you can’t make up ?

The fact that everyone to play for the Griz and who played in the NFL…everyone of them COMBINED have less total career NFL TD’s than Carson Wentz

Good for Ginger, still a bust.

You are way off on Wentz points scored. He has 159 regular season passing and 11 regular season rushing touchdowns for over 700 regular season points scored. It’s over 900 but still less than Dan Carpenter if you include postseason points.

Passing TD’s don’t count as scored points. The receiver gets them.

So kickers are not important. Got it.

Did Wentz ever beat Montana? Didn't think so.

I seriously doubt Wentz cares. NDSU boat raced Montana in the playoffs and won a National Championship.

Meh….whatever you call him, one player out of NDSU was more productive in his NFL career than every single former Griz player combined (not counting a kicker).

Just curious, but how many games have former Griz players (outside of leather helmet days )started at QB in the NFL? How many games have those players won ? How many touchdowns have they thrown or ran for?

Debatable ? NDSU had won 8 national championships before Jim ever arrived on campus.

Read your quote again. You are using a n of 1, which is isn’t statistically significant. I used an n of 2. No better. There are plenty of programs who would prove my point. Top coaches and AD’s are paid a premium for a reason. They are often irreplaceable or the results they achieved aren’t easily replicated. The program is a program. NDSU will now find out how they were in a sweet spot with recruiting, facilities and competition. They won’t find the success they did at the FCS or D2 level. They will absolutely be competitive. Just another middle of the pack team who will never make the playoffs and hope for some bowl game that might never solidify. College football is changing very rapidly and I don’t think the move up will serve NDSU well in the long run. If Iowa and Nebraska can’t make a splash, NDSU sure as hell isn’t going to.

I’m not saying Jim Kramer isn’t significant, but he’s one person. If Ryan Napoli, who trained under Jim and is using his same training regime, can’t keep up the results, I’ll eat crow.

Surprised you haven’t mentioned Randy Hedberg, who mentored 5 NDSU QB’s who all were drafted in the NFL. I’d argue unprecedented QB play was as equally as important as anything in terms of NDSU’s continued success.

Maybe so….but I won’t be watching NDSU play in places like Cheney Washington or at the new powerhouse program in the Big Sky , Utah Tech, in St George.
