Banks led Iowa downfield to a game winning TD against Purdue.

Vandy threw a shitting game ending pick versus ISU.

I don't think we want to review performances vs. Iowa State. Fumbly McFumberson isn't going to come out looking good.

Seems like you could just mention a number of other games.

That's not an 11 win team with Vandy. No how, no way.

This.

Banks fell into the perfect situation.
:rotf:
:rotf::rotf:

With the talent that Iowa team had, I could have played QB and put up decent stats.

I think the real answer will come in April?
This misconception about Banks drives me crazy. Did he have a very good supporting cast? Yes. Would that team have been undefeated in Big Ten play with a QB other than Banks? I don't think so. Our offensive prowess that season was in no small part due to his rushing capabilities. But even more important his decision making.

I really can't believe that this is even being discussed. It's laughable, really. A better thread would be a Jake C and Vandy comparison.

It hurts my brain. Kyle McCann redux, with less poise.

I wish you caught a horrible disease and posted daily about the painful symptoms, but you are correct here.

Well this really is an unwinnable debate on both sides. The question is which guy is a better "quarterback". That can mean a lot of things. Some people cite wins (lol), stats, big plays, game winning drives, etc. For me, the question could be answered if jvb gets drafted and/or makes an nfl team. As good as Banks was, nfl scouts sure didnt appreciate his skills as a qb. We will see if they like jvb.

The NFL scouts didn't like Drew Tate either, but I sure as hell would take him over JVB.

So, the question of whom is a better college QB primarily boils down to which guy NFL scouts prefer? I think that warrants a big, fat LOL as well.

I see you added "college" as a descriptor, which changes things a bit. Now youre looking at tons of factorslike the ones i mentioned above. I have no problem saying that banks and tate are better college quarterbacks. Im not even saying that jvb will make it in the nfl. But if he does, then hes the better qb.

So, the "better" QB might be one who wins fewer games, and moves the ball less effectively, with the exact same teammates and in a similar ("balanced") scheme? Sounds retarded.

Seems to me like Monster is projecting JVB as to his potential, not what he has shown.

Banks had touch, poise, mobility and was clutch. Seriously, Monster, do you think JVB has shown anywhere near the amount of traits Banks did? We would be 5-0 with Banks in there this year, even with all of the other issues. He made plays, particularly when it counted.

No, I'm asking you to imagine they did, and to speculate as to results.

Kyle McCann was a better QB JVB. JVB is the 2nd worst QB in the KF era, just ahead of Jake C. Yes, I'd also put Scott Mullen ahead of JVB.

No. But i think jvb is a better pro prospect.

JVB's best prospects include asking if people would like fries with that.

/Monster likes fries.

Might as well say you think Vandy is taller and can throw the ball harder.

Is that really all it takes, Gus? Youre tall and throw really hard. Why arent you in the nfl?

I keep trying to envision Vandy on the last TD pass against Purdue. He'd shit himself and gun it to a receiver standing at the three.

The Big Arm guys in the NFL (and Hounded) throw it 10-15 yards further - and probably 5+ mph faster - than me. Plus, I'm a shade under 6'2" - slightly less than ideal.
