I think we actually have a pretty good history of being able to field above average quarterbacks for the respectful levels of football we were playing at the time:
Chad Barnhardt (1997 - 1998)
Marquel Blackwell (1999-2002)
Matt Grothe (2006 - 2009)
BJ Daniels (2008 - 2012)
Quinton Flowers (2014 - 2017)
Over a 21 year stretch we had a pretty good quarterback on the roster for us 17 of the 21 years. Now, the last 3 years haven't been kind, but hope our offensive minded HC can find someone in that same ilk as the five listed above. There is a reason to be optimistic.
