Just looking at your top ten, numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 were all seniors.

Isn't Hall a Junior? If you are worried about 2 years from now, don't. We will have one of our best teams of all time.

Just having some fun here. So I decided I would reevaluate my numbers based on year of playing.

It appears 1 McMahon and 2 Detmer and 12 Bosco and 14 Wilson had better years as underclassmen. A reanalysis and change of the order of the table really made a different perspective. Sark, Beck, Young, Walsh and Nielsen all had better years as seniors.

I wonder if the drop off of the highest rated qbs came because other teams were trying to take away what they felt were the most dangerous aspects of our offense. This has been rather interesting to analyze.

I hope I'm not bringing up too old a post, but here's my two cents. Of those four: Wilson's Jr and Sr numbers are virtually identical, so no real drop off there. Bosco's rating isn't that much lower his senior year, and ya gotta remember, when he was a Jr we won the NC! As for Detmer, his rating for Sr year is quite respectable, and the only real difference from a great soph year was 500 fewer passing yards...this is all coming on the heels of a Jr Heisman year when he threw a lot more int's. McMahon is really the only one up there who saw a significant drop in stats, mainly in yds and tds. Here's to Hall kickin it up a notch every year!

Bosco had a shoulder problem his senior year as well.
