You get 30 from Brohm and Hornung, I think it can be argued that the Catholic schools have the best players. :banana:

 

 

I was trying NOT to stir the pot TOO much! :eek: :D

Hey! At least I didn't judge them on their basketball skills when making my decision! :D

 

Sorry LMB...couldn't resist! :bunny:

Couch was a better all-around athlete. (not that it matters to most people, but if the situation was reversed I think Couch would do better). Anyways with Couch, Alexander, Horning, Brohm, Bush, etc our state has had some very talented football playerw we can be proud of!

I think Couch might be a bit more athletic...but Brian never had a POOR game in high school...didn't Couch throw 6 picks in one game? That shows numerous poor decisions...I think that he would've beenhighly successful for Trinity...as brian would've with Leslie...but Brian's head puts him ahead of Tim...I voted for Brian...but am thinking now that Bush should be the answer.

You know while I have always felt that Brohm is superior to Couch....I have never been able to specify a great reason why...you just did that for me...awesome...

 

Tim Couch went toe to toe with Tennessee and Peyton Manning his sophomore year. Both had over 500 yards passing I believe. The next year I believe UK would have had another great game with UT, but that was the week after the wreck killing one of Couch's best friends, another teammate, and injuring his center because of drunk driving.

The point Couch never had resources in high school, college, or the pros (before his shoulder went bad) to show how good he may have been.

No...it is the number of kids only.

Did Brohm throw as much as Couch did, per game? I don't remember...

You always talk about how smart Brohm is and what not. But the only time I have ever seen Brohm consistently under pressure was against Rutgers for the last 3 quarters. I remember him making some mistakes in that game and he did not win because of lack of protection. Welcome to Tim Couch and Andre Woodson's world. Not saying they are definitly better, just saying Brohm has had much better resources as far as his team goes.

The issue with your argument is that we're talking HIGH school football player, not college. To pick this one, we can't take into account anything that a player has done since he graduated high school.

I am working on it...though I need to know how many games leslie played while Couch was on the team..

You know that Brian is responsible for his protection calls? he makes them...at Rutgers the line couldn't hear him, thus the problem...maybe just maybe Brian is that much better presnap than during the play.

You need to get something straight. It's not in my BGP contract to bring facts, stats or useful information to the site. GEEZ!!!;)

You never saw his game against MBA or most of his games against X.
