All Mark Farley Team

Re: All Mark Farley Team

Jeg I couldn't remember if Marlus Mays was during the Farley era, he would replace Sinkfield then.

I can agree with you on Hoambrecker and Frost also but I still remember the one year that Brook Black punted for UNI it seemed like everything was downed inside the 5.

There have been many great O Lineman, 3 of them have spent significant time in the NFL, and I think Kruger could as well, Stiechen was a good center that is why he was placed on the list.

Jeg any preference on the long snapper should be?

Jon Hubbard. No doubt.

Re: All Mark Farley Team

David Horne was the best RB. David Johnson is nipping on his heels and will probably surpass him next season.

Danny Tripplet LB

Benny Sapp is better than any of those other DB's listed

It does appear that these are more recent players. Lots of good players at the first part of Farley's career.

Absolutely false. David Horne couldn't hold DJ's jock strap.

Horne carried us to the 'ship. He put up damn good numbers, while splitting carries with Freeney. DJ is a stud no doubt, but Horne was as important to the 2005 run as Sanders...

Horne only played one year here. I'll take DJ every single time...

Horne ran behind a NFL caliber O-line. The line DJ has to block for him is nowhere close to our 05 line, yet he still manages to put up crazy numbers.

Absolutely. Stephen Hawking could've run all day through those holes.

Stephen Hawking only uses worm holes.

On that note, my brother ran in Corey Lewis at mojo's after a game and was talking to him about the game. This is what he told my brother, "even a white boy like you could run for a 100 yards behind that line!" My brother is 6'5" and about 185 lbs and not very quick on his feet.

Not sure if this is in the Media Guide or not, but Chris Parsons has to hold the school (if not FCS) record for Career Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalties. Back of the napkin math, probably averaged 2.5 per game.

Sonie had to be close.

When your team's tight end is a starting tackle in the NFL you had a good line.

I know this is going to sound crazy to even remotely question Eric Sanders as the best of the Farley area, and he is, but, if IF IF IF it wasn't for a last minute drive by Iowa and two shanked kicks, mixed in with a last minute drive by Richmond and three missed kicks, Pat Grace is our best QB of all time, no question.

Correction: best 1 1/2 qb of all time.

Agree completely, Pat was bigger faster and stronger than Eric, with a better arm, but Eric had that "it" factor.

Isn't that like saying the operation was a success but the patient died? Even granting all the "ifs", most successful doesn't equate to best. Sanders still holds that distintion. I personally think Petrie did more with less than any of them, but I don't expect anyone to agree with me on that.
