Better than Brungard, Ryan, Zetts and Hess? I'm not ready to say that yet, but I sure hope you wind up being right. He needs to work on his ball handling skills, but I am very impressed with how calm he is in the pocket. Will be interesting to see how he responds in his first road game, and now that teams will have more film on him.
Wick250:
Wells has been very impressive, but let's not place this kid on a pedestal only to complain about him when adversity strikes. The reality is we have three extremely difficult road games left, and we must win one of them to reach the playoffs. It is unreasonable and unfair to expect a true freshman quarterback to excel in those environments. If we are going to pull off an upset somewhere, we will need a complete team effort: the defense playing as well as they did against MSU and SIU, the offensive line dominating like they did on Saturday, and the special teams improving dramatically. Solid coaching would not hurt either.
jjysuwin:
I don't think it's fair to make Hunter into the best QB in YSU history.
But for Paladin to blast the kid and say he's terrible and we're lucky we won, is flat out stupid!
We dropped a TD pass of his and had to settle on a field goal. He doesn't bring up that.
As I've stated several times, Paladin is not a YSU fan. Not a season ticket holder. Not a Penguin Club member. Does not cheer when we win.
Someone who does not contribute financially or with emotional team spirit, is not a fan. He's a tire kicker.

I hate to say this, as so many things can change; but as of right now: After WIU's loss this past weekend ...we probably need to win 2 of those road games. Unless we finish in first, once of those two wins needs to be a team above in conference standings & coaches poll.

Brungard's last year was 1994 correct? I thought about that but Ryan and Zetts were small and couldn't see over the line. Ryan would try to force passes that got picked in big games. I just really like this kid's release and poise in the pocket. His ball placement has been incredible.
