Sheldon joins ranks of division winning Merchantmen quarterbacks
In the recently finished 2091 regular season, Moe Sheldon posted better passing numbers than many of his predecessors. It was back in 2078 when a previous Merchantmen starting quarterback had a better passer rating than Sheldon's 94.6 figure. With a 10-3-1 record as a starter this season, improving it to 22-19-1 in four seasons for the Merchantmen, Sheldon can claim to be the division winning quarterback this season. With that, he joins an illustrious list, lead by Lester Lowe, the winningest quarterback in Merchantmen history.
