Five Great Quarterbacks...2004 Season (A TCY/FOF2004 Dynasty)

[WussGawd]

OK...what the heck, it's Saturday night, ain't got much else to do. Let's get this party started.

[WussGawd]

For those of you a season late in joining us, the first season of the dynasty is here. (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~fof/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17372)

Five Great Quarterbacks traces the story of five young men, the top 5 high school quarterbacks as rated by national agencies. Last year, we witnessed their senior year of high school, and their entry into the recruiting wars. To reacquaint ourselves, here are our five young men:


Joel McDonald

Joel was the #1 Rated QB prospect in the nation last year out of Glynn Academy in Brunswick, GA. An All-State Selection at QB, Joel was recruited heavily before committing to eventual National Champions Florida State.


Byron Huntley

Byron was the #2 QB prospect in the nation last year from Green Valley HS in Henderson, NV, where he was an all-state selection. Byron was heavily recruited from across the country, but chose to stay close to home as a UCLA Bruin.


Willie Jennings

Wille was considered the #3 QB prospect in the country last year from Owosso, Michigan. An All-State selection from Owosso HS in Owosso, Michigan, Byron was heavily recruited, narrowly deciding to forego offers from Michigan and Ohio State, among others to become a Clemson Tiger.


Norbert Clark

Norbert was considered the #4 QB prosect in the country last year. An All-State selection at QB from Savanna HS in Savanna, OK, Norbert made it clear early on that his heart lay in Oklahoma, and quickly committed to the Sooners.


Emmanuel Harris

Although he was considered the #5 QB prospect nationally, Emmanuel was a Parade All-American at QB, as well as an All-State Selection from New York. Emmanuel took a while to make his decision before settling on the Michigan Wolverines.

2004 NCAA Football Training Camp

As a good way to start in on our dynasty, I figured it would be helpful to look at the status of each of our quarterbacks as we head into the regular season.


Willie Jennings, Clemson

Willie spent most of his summer either lifting weights or watching film. He added 8 lbs (from 201 to 209) to his 6'2" frame and solidly established himself as the third best QB in camp (Clemson has 3 QBs under scholarship, but 5 total including walk ons). Unfortunately for Willie, Clemson's Top 2 guys are well entrenched, with the starter, Gary Staton being mentioned in the same breath as Heisman Trophy. It appears that Clemson will redshirt Willie.


Joel McDonald, Florida State

Like Willie, Joel bulked up in the offseason, going from 6'3" 204 lbs. to 6'3" 218 lbs.

Surprisingly, Florida State has only 3 quarterbacks total in camp, with only two on scholarship. The bad news is that both of the other QBs in camp are just about as talented as Joel, and have more experience. Joel won't be redshirted, but he may not see much, if any action this year. Deion McElroy, Florida State's starter, is one of the best in the country.


Emmanuel Harris, Michigan

Emmanuel lived in the gym, and has added 20 lbs to his 6'1" frame (218 lbs).

Unfortunately for Emmanuel, there are five pretty good quarterbacks in Michigan's camp, and right now, Emmanuel is fifth on the depth chart. He will be redshirted.


Norbert Clark, Oklahoma

Norbert also added a few pounds in the offseason, going from 6'2" 186 lbs. to 6'2" 201 lbs.

Like Emmanuel, Norbert may have to face the facts that he will be buried deep on the Sooners' depth chart for a year or two. He will be redshirted.


Byron Huntley, UCLA

Byron added 11 lbs. over the summer, and now packs 207 lbs. on his 6'2" frame.

Byron's situation is the most intriguing of all. UCLA has five QBs on the roster, none with a whole lot of big game experience. Going into the season, Byron is clearly the third best, though UCLA is intent on redshirting him.

However, Byron has the potential to be better than any of the rest, and with a hard year's work could contend for the starting job as early as next year.

Hey guys...I'm going to put this one on hold for a bit until Jim gets the Current vs. Future Potential bug fixed in how the AI sets depth charts. Don't want this to mess my guys too heavily for the dynasty. Sorry. :(

Washington at #1 Florida State

The Seminoles's home opener was played in stormy weather conditions with a temperature of 64 degrees before a sellout crowd of 82,000.

Unfortunately for the Huskies, this one was only competitive briefly. After a Washington punt, the Seminoles took their first offensive possession of the day to drive for a touchdown. A Washington field goal on the ensuing possession cut the lead to 7-3, but that was as close as it got. After an exchange of punts, the Seminoles punched in another touchdown, and the rout was on. Florida State went on to win 48-10.

Seminole starting QB and Heisman Trophy candidate Deion McElroy played the whole game. Joel McDonald saw no action.

Look for game summaries tomorrow evening.

[WussGawd]

Washington at Oklahoma

It looked like a long day for the Huskies early on. The first two times an Oklahoma player touched the ball (a 95 yard kickoff return and a 65 yard run off of left tackles) they scored touchdowns. It was 14-0 before some of the fans even reached their seats. Oklahoma made it 21-0 in the third quarter on short drive after a couple of trades of punts. Washington tried to rally, but fell short in a game that wasn't as close as it appeared. Oklahoma 28, Washington 14

Norbert truly has been redshirted, so we won't cover further Oklahoma games this year, unless OU's QB situation becomes so dire they remove the redshirt.


Clemson at Tennessee

It was a wet, cold day in Knoxville. For the Tigers, it would also be miserable. Early on, however, this didn't look to be the case.

After the Vols opening drive stalled, the Tigers marched methodically down the field, mainly on the strong legs of their TB, Baumgartner. 7-0 Clemson. Later in the first quarter, after an exchange of punts, Clemson had a promising drive killed by a fumble after the catch. Finally, midway through the second quarter, Baumgartner broke through with a 78 yard touchdown run to make it 14-0 Clemson.

On the ensuing possession, Tennessee quickly marched down the field on a long run and a long pass and cut it to 14-7 at the half.

With the opening second half possession, the Vols methodically moved the ball down the field, tying the game up 14-14. After a Clemson punt, the Vols then went on another methodical length of the field drive to take the 21-14 lead. After Clemson fumbled the ball on their own 45, the Vols ran one play off right tackle to extend the lead to 28-14.

Late in the third quarter, Clemson's QB Stanton got something going, and early in the 4th, after a long drive, Clemson cut the deficit to 28-21. Tennessee's next possession was killed in Clemson territory by a costly interception, but Clemson could do little with it and punted from their own 40. After an exchange of punts, Clemson again marched down the field, this time on the strong right arm of Staton. Clemson tied it 28-28, where it stood with less than 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

The game stayed tied for two plays. After the Vols' took a touchback on the kickoff, Tennessee's QB Foerstel hooked up for an 80 yard touchdown strike, making it 35-28, Tennessee.

After a three and out by the Tigers, Tennessee added another touchdown pass by Foerstel to ice it, 42-28, where it stayed.

Like Norbert, Willie Jennings has indeed been redshirted. Unlike Norbert, however, an injury to Stanton could change this, as Willie is the third best QB on the roster. A long term injury to Stanton would almost certainly result in the removal of Willie's redshirt. However, until then, there isn't much point in game summaries.


Arkansas at UCLA

On a warm, sunny day in Pasadena, the Bruins hosted the Razorbacks. Arkansas took the opening drive and scored quickly, mainly off the passing of their QB, Hartman. However, a missed extra point took a bit of shine off the drive, as Arkansas led 6-0.

After a 20 yard strike by UCLA's starting QB Hernandez, Lewis Castillo began his amazing game by busting a 41 yard touchdown run straight up the gut. The UCLA extra point made it 7-6.

After Arkansas went three and out, Castillo busted another long run, this time of 54 yards that was squandered by a Hernandez interception in the end zone.

Arkansas again marched the length of the field, this time converting the extra point to take a 13-7 lead. The lead didn't last long, as UCLA countered with a long touchdown drive, consisting mostly of runs by the brilliant Castillo, who capped it off with a 22 yard touchdown scamper off the right end. UCLA scored to make it 14-13.

After an Arkansas punt, UCLA again scored, this time on a series of Hernandez passes and Castillo runs to take a 21-13 lead, which was pretty much the ball game.

Castillo wound up with 399 yards rushing, adding a third touchdown on a 63 yard scamper (one of his five TDs was a pass completion from Hernandez), and a 13 yard TD run capped off the UCLA scoring. Arkansas added a meaningless touchdown late to close it to 35-19.

Byron Huntley has indeed been redshirted this year, and is far enough down the depth chart that nothing short of a catastrophe should see him taking game snaps this season. No more UCLA game summaries, again, barring a barrage of injuries.


Texas at Michigan

Before a capacity crowd of 101,000+ in Ann Arbor, Texas used an opportunistic defense and a flurry of field goals to ralliy from a 21-7 deficit and upset the highly ranked Wolverines 23-21.

Emmanuel Harris is buried fifth on the depth chart, redshirted, and won't see playing time this season, period. No more game summaries for Michigan unless the injury bug bites them at the QB spot, hard.


Middle Tennessee State at Florida State

There's nothing like a game against a directional school to break in a Freshman QB. The Seminoles made it clear this would not be a tight game early, scoring touchdown on their first 6 possessions to make it 42-0 at the half. Second string Florida State QB Hitchcock (McElroy was pulled midway through the second quarter) piloted a second touchdown drive early in the third quarter to make it 49-0, and our boy Joel McDonald finally came on with 5:37 left in the third quarter.

Joel was spectacular in his opening drive. He completed his first two passes, including a 21 yard pass as Florida made it 56-0 on his first drive as a college QB. On the next possession, after a MTSU punt buried the Seminoles at their own five, McDonald picked up his first college passing touchdown in spectacular fashion, a 95 yard strike to Bert Sellers, a backup WR to make it 63-0. McDonald would later pace Florida State to its final touchdown.

Joel's debut was wildly successful. He completed 8 of 9 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown. He was not intercepted.

I'm very specifically trying to avoid posting ratings stuff in the dynasty, but I have a strong feeling that Joel will be the starter next season for FSU. He seems to be developing that well. It doesn't hurt to have that much talent around you either.

[mtaystl03]

This is an awesome post! Keep it up. I will be following closely. :)

mtaystl03: Thanks for the praise. I intend to. :)

Joel McDonald did not get into the loss against Florida. No need for a summary.

2004 NFL Week 8 Standings & Midseason Report

AFC North:
Baltimore 5-2
Pittsburgh 4-3
Cleveland 4-4
Cincinnati 3-4

After struggling in 2003, Kyle Boller is showing signs of becoming a star. Jamal Lewis has rushed 138 times for 609 yards. The Ravens defense has been rejuvenated bu the addition of Jevon Kearse along with Ray Lewis. Still, Pittsburgh lurks just a game behind.

AFC South
Indianapolis 6-2
Houston 6-2
Tennessee 5-2
Jacksonville 2-5

Outside of a young Jacksonville team, this is easily the best division in the NFL. Shockingly, the Colts let Peyton Manning go to Dallas, and are leading the division with Kordell Stewart at the helm.

For Houston, David Carr has become a star, single handedly willing an other ordinary offense to a tie for the division lead. The addition of Warren Sapp & Eric Brown has bolstered an improved defense.

For Tennessee, another year, another great job by Steve McNair leading the team. 2003 Rookie of the Year Tyrone Calico has given Steve a top rate flanker to throw to.

AFC East:
New England 5-2-1
Miami 4-3
NY Jets 4-4
Buffalo 1-7

Buffalo, last year's AFC Champion, was derailed in preseason by a serious knee injury to Drew Bledsoe, who should be back too late in the season for any good. Buffalo's predicament can probably best be summed up in four words: Rick Mirer-Starting Quarterback.

New England continues to get it done with a good, not great cast, and the leadership of Tom Brady.

Dave Wannstedt may be gone, but Miami will go only as far as a great defense and the running of Ricky Williams will carry them. So far, it's not that far.

AFC West
Kansas City 4-3
Denver 3-4
Oakland 3-4
San Diego 1-6

Priest Holmes continues his great running, but for the most part, every team in this division has some serious problems.

NFC North
Green Bay 5-3
Chicago 3-4
Detroit 2-6
Minnesota 1-6

Brett Favre may be older than dirt, but he's still better than most of the QBs in the league. Otherwise, this is the place where promising young QBs go to die as Joey Harrington, Daunte Culpepper, and Rex Grossman are three of the lowest rated QBs in the league.

NFC South
New Orleans 5-2
Tampa Bay 3-4
Carolina 3-5
Atlanta 1-6

Saints' Free agent pick up Charles Woodson has bolstered a dangerous secondary. Aaron Brooks guides one of the league's best offenses.

Contrary to what it may look like, Atlanta's Michael Vick is developing nicely. But, Atlanta's cap situation is such a disaster they can't afford to put anything around him. Probably their best defensive player, Keith Brooking is out long term with repetitive concussion syndrome.

NFC East
NY Giants 6-1
Philadelphia 4-3
Dallas 3-4
Washington 3-4

Warrick Holdman, a free agent linebacker from the Bears, has combined with Michael Strahan to give the already good Giants a great pass rush.

Even with Peyton Manning and La'Roi Glover, an otherwise mediocre Dallas team continues to struggle.

NFC West
Seattle 5-2-1
St. Louis 5-3
San Francisco 5-3
Arizona 3-4

After struggling out of the opening blocks, the defending Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks have reeled off 5 wins in a row to take the NFC West Lead. Norman Hand leads a talented defense, while Shaun Alexander and Trent Dilfer guide a solid offense.

For the Rams, Kurt Warner has faded into mediocrity, but a great line anchored by Kyle Turley and Damien Woody (picked up in the offseason from New England has given a rejuvenated Marshall Faulk the kind of holes he'd been missing for a couple of years. The defense, however, is only ordinary.

San Francisco has cleared a lot of cap room while remaining competitive, and could make a move next season via free agency.

Arizona, after a shocking playoff run last season, has returned to form this year. Jeff Blake is one of the league's most efficient passers, but the defense is injury-riddled, and there's not enough talent on offense around Blake to make up the difference.

Hmm. I'm thinking you're confusing polls. For the scoreboard, I'm showing the rank based on the Coaches' Reputation Poll. For the BCS Rankings, I'm using the composite of the computer rankings and polls (Overall score).

Georgia is currently #3 in the BCS (behind 1 loss Florida State-a BCS controversy in the making), while they've been #1 in the Coaches Poll for a while now.

With the exception of Joel McDonald, who will enter the season a true sophomore, all of our QBs will be redshirt freshmen next year.

Look here in a couple of days for the link to the next chapter, the 2005 season of the Quarterback Class of 2003. :)
