He left the roster unbalanced, but the talent level and development of players he left behind was astonishingly good. If Crowton had gotten to 2006, it's very likely that his team would have gotten to a similar number of wins as Bronco.

Lavell left the cupboard pretty bare and Crowton filled it with a bunch

Did you watch the '02 thru '04 seasons?

The numbers weren't that much different

8/27/15 11:49am

1200 more yards, 12 more TD's and a higher efficiency rating aren't much

Why don't you compare in an apples to apples way?

donnerstag

8/27/15 12:16pm

Sure, let's just make up stats and call it apples to apples.

8/27/15 12:32pm

No. I'm saying you can't compare TDs and yards thrown when there is a material

A quantum leap between his junior and senior seasons? You serious, Clark?

Beck went from a 2:1 TD to Int ratio to 4:1 as a senior

He quit tossing picks, basically.

Left Shark Coug

8/27/15 1:44pm

No. He threw more TDs and threw less Ints

I got you too focused on just the QB. Beck's stats were just the start.

again, shallow analysis. 04 team played the #11 toughest schedule....

if you were old enough to watch games back then you could see the difference

You'd need to compare it to other QB's and see how much improvement is shown on

The production we got from the QB spot was more or less steady from '05 to '09

Left Shark Coug

8/27/15 1:48pm

I meant you'd need to compare Beck's improvement from Soph. to Jr. seasons

kind of dumb, he had nearly 200 more attempts, of course he's going to compile..

The loss at home to unlv in 2004 plus off field is why he was fired.

It didn't help that his long time friend and DC was in love with the 3,3,5

Imagine if he had lost to Nevada or a 1 win uva or 54-10

He did worse than that, he lost to UNLV at home and threw the ball 50 times to

Nothing is worse than 54-10 and Nevada is little bro to unlv

I should stop with your Nevada is little bro to unlv comment. You have no

Wasn't the cupboard bare partially due to his own recruiting?

Bostonblue

8/27/15 1:49pm

That was one position group basically

8/27/15 2:02pm

It was a failure that was one of his major undoings. It made his firing easy.

Bostonblue

8/27/15 2:52pm

They were low on talent for sure, but keep in mind that there were 2 losses

Crowton also brought in David Nixon, Bryan Kehl, Manase Tonga, Harvey Unga..
