FARGO – There is no Merriam-Webster definition for “FCS quarterback,” but if there was, a picture of North Dakota State’s Brock Jensen or Youngstown State’s Kurt Hess would suffice. The similarities between them are striking.

Both juniors are about the same size at around

6-foot-3 and 225 pounds. Both have thrown for eight touchdowns without an interception this season. And both possess off-the-field traits that cannot be measured on a stat sheet.

“He’s a winner and he’s a leader,” Hess said of Jensen. “Look at his record. You can say anything about his stats, but Brock has done a great job of leading his troops.”

Hey, Brock is good, no doubt. But I wasn't just referring to stats alone. Broadous has rushed, passed, and lead Cal Poly to a GW Title last year and a 5-0 start this year. That ain't just stats...

Sorry, Heinicke. He plays for ODU ... 2281 Yards passing this year, 21 TD and 6 INT. Also leads ODU in rushing (237 yards).

23 TD and 1 INT last season playing only 9 games.

Beast. Best player in FCS.

These stats do not include today's game.

I can't remember the last time the state of ND had 2 QB's in the top 10 of the nation.

After today I would say Brock Jensen as the best...unless Marcus throws for 500 yards and 6 TD's with 0INT's against EWU.xsmiley_wix

Holy carp! Those are some eye-opening stats.

The answer is Heinicke.

Try these numbers on for size:

Career: 14 games (essentially one season, plus a postseason game or two): 44 TDs, 7 INT, 69% completion, nearly 4700 yards passing, and 600 yards rushing.

Pace this season is: 50 TDs, 10 INT, 5500 yards passing and 570 yards rushing. That's not including any playoff games.

NDSU would handle ODU pretty easily IMO. ODU's defense is mediocre at best.

I'll give you the mediocre at best defense, but I find it tough to say any team would handle Heinicke and that offense "easily".

Love to see this matchup though.

October 6th, 2012, 09:36 PM
hands down jensen, he is the reason ndsu is better than last year, odu would lose by three touchdowns to ndsu this year. have you guys watched a ndsu game this year they can score at will and slow the game down to a trickle with their run game , couple that with a qb who makes zero mistakes and you have a recipe for success.

Being the best team doesn't mean you have the best QB.

Per SmallcollegeFBfan, who probably knows FCS talent better than anyone, Southern Utah's Brad Sorenson is the best QB in the FCS.

And yes, ODU's Taylor Heineke is better than Jensen, having watched both of them.

Brock Jensen plays on the best team no doubt. He is doing what Roethlisberger used to do for the Steelers. Not make mistakes make a few plays when needed, but mostly don't mess it up for that defense. That is not to disrespect him he is a great player. He is not the best QB in FCS though.

I'll throw my vote in for the ODU kid.

In a couple of years we may be talking about Sawyer Kollmorgen though!

Well, Brock is 19-1 since the loss in Cheney. He is so damn accurate and he's really a great QB with lots of weapons in his arsenal. His poise, confidence, and respect define him as a QB at the top of the FCS world. As good as any I have seen at NDSU. He completed 45% of his passes as a freshman and has been at about 70% completions since, with lots of passing & receiving touchdowns and almost no interceptions or fumbles. Stud in every sense if the word.

I'm an NDSU fan but where do I start. If you've watched a few FCS games you know who is good and who is great. Brock is on the undisputed best team in the nation and he is pretty damn good. Heinecke is pretty damn great if you've watched him at all. Do i think NDSU would beat ODU, yes....do I think Heinecke would beat Jensen in a throwing contest .....yes. Throttle the **** down. I don't post often on here, but maybe keep your comments to bisonville when you are so uninformed.


If you want a quick fact, i'll give you one. A great quarterback doesn't miss a wide open guy streakin down the field on a flee flicker......that's a play a kid in the stands could of made.

by the way, not calling anyone out in particular, just a little disturbed about the fans that think our team is indestructble.

On that same note, I don't think a team can come into the dome again and beat the bison for the next 2 years. Our crowd is to football smart, and it is very difficult for a team to ever audible or try anything from the line.

Brock is very good and with the style of offense we run, he is a percfect fit. Other QBs are going to have 'impressive' stats esp if they have a spread offense but I wouldn't trade Brock for any of them.

Honestly I don't think it would be easy.

The difference with ODU and all the other spread teams is that they actually have a pretty stout OL. You give Heinicke time and he's going to pick you apart.

NDSU might be solid on offense and not make mistakes, but I'm not actually sure they could win a true shootout. That offense isn't built for that.

When?

I never thought our game with them last year would come down to who could make just ONE stop. That score was 55-48. We never punted, and they were running a fake punt option every time they "punted." That's the true definition of a shootout. I looked several years back and didn't say any scores that stuck out at me like that for you guys. Our game came down to the very last possession.

I didn't think it would go down like that, but then again I wasn't expecting the protection their OL gave Heinicke. It was pretty impressive. We weren't shabby in our secondary last year but give that kid enough time and he'll make you pay.

I'm not saying NDSU wouldn't win, it's definitely a possibility. However it's in no way going to be easy if it were to happen.

We've had some shootouts in the past. It depends more on our personnel, this year we have that ability to spread the field and throw the ball around. We had that ability back in the Steve Walker era as well when we were a top team during our transition. Our offense can operate on a very high level with the right QB. We had an epic shootout with SHSU back in 2007.

That said Jensen has just started to turn into that kind of QB, we had three years of horrific QB play prior to that. Some games we struggled to even complete a forward pass.

The best running QB I've seen this year is JMU's Thorpe. Best passer is Heinicke. Depends on what you're looking for. JMU relies on long drives and ODU thrives on quick strikes.

With as bad as ODU's D is their offense probably wouldn't see the field much, as we would be running the ball and grinding out the clock. I think we would win, but not easily.

To say any QB is the best is of course opinion. Stats are nice but you have to take in to consideration the style of offense the QB is playing in. Some styles are meant for big stats to be success full. While others styles are more balanced which leads to lowers stats in the passing game.
I myself look for a QB that performs at a high level in all facets of the game. How well does he manage the game? Leadership? Good on the field decisions? Cant he make the tough throw when it NEEDS to be there? Can he improvise? Can and will he play hurt and still be effective? How well does he respond in pressure situations? Etc etc. I think Jensen is a very very good QB. To think that there isnt another QB out of the other 100 plus teams in our division who is equally as good is ridiculous and not realistic.

The answer is Heinicke.

Try these numbers on for size:

Career: 14 games (essentially one season, plus a postseason game or two): 44 TDs, 7 INT, 69% completion, nearly 4700 yards passing, and 600 yards rushing.

Pace this season is: 50 TDs, 10 INT, 5500 yards passing and 570 yards rushing. That's not including any playoff games.

How many Big Sky teams has he played against? That's the real measure!

The best running QB I've seen this year is JMU's Thorpe. Best passer is Heinicke. Depends on what you're looking for. JMU relies on long drives and ODU thrives on quick strikes.

11/17 can't get here soon enough.

That game has the potential to be one of the greats - last CAA game for ODU, the potential for each team to have one loss a piece or undefeated in FCS play, the competing offensive styles. I would be shocked if it wasn't a sellout.

With as bad as ODU's D is their offense probably wouldn't see the field much, as we would be running the ball and grinding out the clock. I think we would win, but not easily.

Grind the clock all day, but eventually your drive ends and ODU gets the ball back. What ODU's offense does is put the pressure on the opposing teams to score TDs and not kick FGs.

Not to mention, on days when ODU is not tackling well, you may think you'll need a 10 play drive to move 80 yards on the ground, but sometimes it only takes 3 :)

Brock may not be the best in FCS but I know I wouldn't want anyone else leading my team. Kid wanted to come to NDSU out of HS, earned his spot and leads his team to do things we haven't seen in a very long time. And just refuses to lose. If/when we are down in the 4th quarter in the future, I have no doubt in my mind he is in charge of the huddle and will do everything in his power to win the game. And best of all his teammates have all the confidence in the world in him to get the job done. (a la running away from the GSU team with a 104 temp fighting off the flu)

Stats dont make you the Best Qb. Brock is the COMPLETE GENERAL !!!!

I don't think you can credit Brock with the NDSU success as much as you can the NDSU OL and their defense.

Brock isn't even a top 5 QB in FCS. There are 2 in the CAA, 2 in Big Sky, and 1 in SLC better than Brock. Not to mention 2 in the MVC better than him.

He's good and should be All-MVC but isn't an elite QB. He had 171 yards and 3 INTs today. The best QB in FCS doesn't throw 3 INTs against Indiana State. Who knows, maybe Jensen read this thread and got a big head this week and let all this hype get to him lol.

Guess that means Perish is the best now.

The best QB in FCS history is Armanti Edwards IMO. I would never put someone in that category until they have 2 NCs, 2 Walter Paytons, and are a 3-time All-American by a recognized media outlet like TSN, AP, AFCA, or Walter Camp as well. And to show how great of an athlete Edwards is he is sticking in the NFL at another position than the one he played in college and won all of these awards from. That's truly amazing and impressive.

He certainly has had a lot to do with NDSU's success but I think McNorton, Veldman, Cornick, Williams, and so on and so on are just as much a part of it. He's had a brick wall OL and very good defense. However, he's not a top 5 QB in FCS. I know the homer feelings. Everyone with a QB who is any good at all and ever won them a conference or national title says they would not trade him but Sorensen, Hess, Mathews, and a couple others don't have near the supporting cast of Jensen. Jensen is a good QB but he isn't close to top 5. If he was the best then the NFL scouts and myself would think he is a legit prospect, the media would be crowning him a 1st team All-American, etc. Jensen is good but please don't over rank him because he plays for your team.

And not to mention, you can't always go by the stats as any professional in this industry knows so have you seen at least as many games of all those I mentioned and any other returning all-league QB to know for a fact that you definitely think he is better? If you have, then please compare and contrast them without using wins as the sole comparison and remember football is a team game. You are giving 1 man too much credit for what 25 men (11 off, 11 def, K, P, RS) accomplished. Winning starts up front on the OL and DL. QBs get way too much blame when a team loses and as NDSU fans are showing they can get way too much credit when they win. You could have Armanti Edwards and that would not guarantee you win a NC if you had an average D3 or NAIA team surrounding them, or even the worst team in the Pioneer League.

The original post wasn't stating Brock was a winner or the best for the Bison. The post was saying he was the best QB in the FCS. That is outlandish and after a game like yesterday where he cost his team the win I don't think he can be in that conversation.

I respect that he wins and you wouldn't trade him. Most winning teams wouldn't, but that is not what this conversation was supposed to be about.

Yes he did but again as I said last year he had a lot of seniors and a lot of players who will end up getting a shot in the NFL. He happens to be on a very talented team. Take your roster from last year and in 3 years count how many of them got a shot in the NFL and were All-Americans. You will see that Brock had a lot of really elite FCS talent on his team and you could argue that 10-15 other QBs in FCS could have done just as good as he did.

With that said, no doubt he is a great leader and teammate and I applaud him for that. If you are saying he is one of the best leaders in FCS then I will 100% agree. He just isn't close to the best QB physically or athletically in FCS, or even the MVC.

When the postseason awards come out I expect Matt Brown will be 1st team, then either Hess or Kollmorgen or Jensen 2nd team but I firmly believe Jensen will be #3 in the MVC when the season is over.

Who are all the NFL prospects that have made Brock Jensen look so good and where are all these Offensive All Americans that I've missed? Cornick on offense last season at right tackle. This year's senior class has no athletes close to that level and I'm not sure I see anyone quite there offensively on this Bison team outside of a couple juniors. Look at any position rankings list. You won't see many Bison offensive players on those. Now on defense, there are a number that will definately garner awards and NFL looks.

There won't be a Bison QB to be considered the best in the MVFC with the current coaching staff. The media look at big numbers and Brock doesn't have and never will have those. Why? The Bison offensive plan doesn't open things up. Grind the ball on the ground, don't turn it over, and wear down the opponent. This isn't a place to load up stats and personal awards. If anyone considers big stats the deciding factors to make the case for "best QB", I can certainly understand.

Well, last year you had 3 go to NFL camps (Veldman, Cornick, McNorton). This year you have 2 juniors who will get strong looks next year. Ojuri, Turner, and others are all very good. Joe Lund is a really good one as well. He's having an All-American season. Defense is loaded with talent and has had a lot over the last few years.

You just described what Jensen is. He's a game manager. Coaches usually give top athletes and big arms the play calls to let them make those big plays. NDSU limits what Jensen does likely because he would not be a 300 yard passing and 100 yard rushing type guy. He's a very good player who does what he is suppose to, handing off to his very talented backs, and protect the ball.

I'm not saying Jensen is bad but I think NDSU fans are giving him too much credit for these wins. He deserves a lot of it but even more should go to the great OL you have had and the big time defense. Jensen is definitely a top 15 QB in FCS and maybe top 10 but he's not one of the 5 most talented QBs in FCS.

Go read what others say about your players. If NFL scouts, media, and opposing teams feel your player is the best then he definitely is. When the only people saying it are a few fans and those around the NDSU program that should tell you he isn't the top QB. I'll say he is the most proven winner and team leader in the MVC but if I were picking a team of the most talented and gifted players in the MVC, Jensen would be the 3rd QB. Matt Brown has been the best in the league over the last 3 years and he now finally has a lot of talent around him so they are winning more than in previous years. Watch out for Brown. He's not the best in FCS but he's very underrated.

This is the part I mainly take issue with. NDSU has never had a QB that has put up huge numbers in my lifetime. This isn't because NDSU doesn't or can't get great QB's. It's because the football we play here doesn't call for 300 yards passing, and that offensive mindset has worked out pretty well for the success of the program. Brock could throw for big numbers consistently if that is what was asked of him. He doesn't need to do that to win, but he makes big plays when asked to.

Does Tom Brady have the biggest arm and is he the best athlete? Being a great athlete isn't going to make a great QB.

I think this is a great discussion, and like I said, I understand why Brock doesn't get the hype and attention that other QBs receive. It's been the case with Bison QBs since I can remember.

Strictly talent wise. No, he is not an elite FCS QB. But he is a very good QB. Game manager, leader and efficient passer within the style of offense we run.

Could he sit in the pocket and sling it up 50+ times and pass for 300+?? Ya, I think he could in another offensive scheme.

With all these teams that run some type of 'spread' system, there is always going to be QBs putting up huge #s.

Don't be surprised if Sorensen is the first FCS QB taken in the NFL draft when he is eligible. He doesn't run much, but the pros don't much care about that. Needless to say, that doesn't necessarily make him the "best" FCS QB. But he may well be the best at putting the ball where he wants to.

Armanti has been in the NFL as a QB this whole time? What's his stats?

I believe Tracy Ham is in the CFL Hall of Fame for what he did up there. Like I said, Tracy blazed a path for players like Armanti. When Tracy came out of college the NFL wanted no part of players like that. Victim of circumstance really.

I'm not diminishing Armanti's accomplishments by any stretch, just don't think it's clear cut that he's the best ever.

Depends on what teams are looking for in a QB at college or pro level. If throwing on the move is a desired trait then Murray St's Brockman is among the best in the college ranks. Solid in the pocket and better on the move and at creating with his feet. Yes, his big numbers come from the spread, but his INT vs ATT ratio is excellent and he's completing 70% of his passes - good no matter what style you're playing. He's also big and strong at 6-2/220. Smart and a leader.

I obviously haven't seen every FCS QB play, but after watching ODU's Taylor Heinicke on Saturday, I am very comfortable with casting my vote for him. He is 100% legit in every aspect, and the gaudy numbers are no mirage. Still a sophomore too; that is scary.

This is the part I mainly take issue with. NDSU has never had a QB that has put up huge numbers in my lifetime. This isn't because NDSU doesn't or can't get great QB's. It's because the football we play here doesn't call for 300 yards passing, and that offensive mindset has worked out pretty well for the success of the program. Brock could throw for big numbers consistently if that is what was asked of him. He doesn't need to do that to win, but he makes big plays when asked to.

Does Tom Brady have the biggest arm and is he the best athlete? Being a great athlete isn't going to make a great QB.

I think this is a great discussion, and like I said, I understand why Brock doesn't get the hype and attention that other QBs receive. It's been the case with Bison QBs since I can remember.

Good post also.

The MVC has a case for 3 to be strongly considered for top 10-15 qbs

Sr. Matt Brown - 169-274 2,011 yards (251ypg) 16 td 8 int (8 games)
Fr. Sawyer Kollmoregen - 121-199 1,715 yards (245 ypg) 14 td 3 int (7 games)
Jr. Brock Jensen 115-173 1,407 yards (201 ypg) 12 td 3 int (7 games)

I realize style of play comes into account there....Brown has thrown 75 more passes than Sawyer and 101 more than Brock. In fact Brock is actually leading the conference in efficiency...by less than 1 point over Sawyer.

It should also be known that Sawyer, as a freshman, has played the toughest schedule of any FCS QB...and put up damn good numbers.

He's good enough to do it. Team is putting up over 30 ppg this year...but the defense is giving up 25. We've lost every time we've scored over 30 in D1 games.

If we can sure the defense up during Sawyer's run I think we get one.

Anyone still on the Hess bandwagon? I've left this thread alone because there are so many different trains of thought and none of them are necessarily incorrect. Are we talking NFL talent that doesn't necessarily look at "system"/spread QBs (looking at you Tebow)? Winners/leaders? Stats regardless of system? Efficiency? I will say that Jensen has improved drastically since his freshmen year. He had a habit of staring down receivers and it got him in trouble often that 2010 season (like the ISUb game). That being said, Jensen works well for NDSU in their west coast system. He's mobile when he needs to be, and is a threat outside of the pocket (even with turf toe late last season). He has the ability to put the ball where only his receiver can make the play, especially in the short passing game, but can still hit the deep ball when called upon (having Vraa certainly helps...he can't come back soon enough). If I had to describe the typical NDSU QB that is needed for the system, he doesn't have to be a big star on any one given ability, but he better be a complete player and have ability in all facets of the position. His balance in his game is what makes it work.

Brock is many things, ordinary is not one of them.

There isn't one QB in the country that would look like a world beater in NDSU's offense. It is a ball control, high efficiency, rarely go down the field offense and he runs it to near perfection.

Heinicke, might not be the best stats wise this year, but look at him as a freshman thrown into the spot last year... and he has done darn good this year considering the family struggles he faced this year. (not even the reason i choose him, but he did go to my highschool a couple years after me and we have mutual friends) sure did give GSU a fight in the playoffs last year as a freshman

First off, how good a player is also depends on the players around them. Sac State had a QB in camp years ago named Ken O'Brien. The coach told him he wouldn't be too good a player a Sac State because you can't throw when you are on your back. So, he transferred to UCD, and the rest is history.
So, the answer is it is hard to judge how good a QB is based on wins alone. Marino would put 40 points on the board and the team would lose. This is because the defense sucked- NOT Marino. People give Bradshaw too much credit as being a great QB. He was good, but his defense won more games than Bradshaw did with his arm. And, people forget he had a little luck to win too- the immaculate reception. So, it makes it difficult to judge a QB based on his stats and wins. There are other intrinisic characteristics that make a QB great. Joe Namath's stats aren't all that great, but he was wa winner. And, if he had been healthy, his numbers would have been better, IMO.
So, if I was going to pick the skill set I'd want in a QB is accuracy, quick reads, quick release, and feel in the pocket. If the receivers do not catch his passes how can you blame the QB for the incompletions and sometimes the interceptions. A QB may get credit for interceptions on passes a receiver had bounce out of his hands, but the QB gets the poor stat-NOT the reciever.
or a receiver could run the wrong route or fall down during the route, etc.
Stats do not always tell the story. Completion percentage depends on the receivers, the O-line, etc. as much as the QB.

Here are my favorite QB's ...in order. If YSU turns around, I expect Hess to move up. If not ...the order should stay just like it is. I know that you can argue YSU is playing like crap, but their OC/QB-coach already has had 2 QBs go to the NFL ...so it is no coincidence that Hess plays exactly like "Big Ben", and the Steelers regularly scout him. There is a valid point that Harvard does not play at the level of ODU, but there is parity in both conferences. I am talking strictly skills. With that in mind ...Chapple is the most complete package IMHO. I really like Brockman!! Vailas at UNH and Brown at ILS (ISU-red) are the most underrated QB's ...by far. I expect Vailas top be the nation's top QB in two years (or less) ..Brown simply gets the job done.

I guess there's an argument for both, given NDSU's level of success with Jensen. Although Trent Dilfer won a title with a salty defense as well. I'd give the nod to Adams - he's very "Manziel-like" (having seen BOTH play in person).

Oh Red don't pick fights. All players have heart, wanna win etc. But Brock is the only quarterback out of the group with the chance to break a record and be the winningest QB in FCS history. You have to be special to achieve that, and perhaps w Brick it is the intangibles that have gotten him there and not just stats.

Doesn't make him the best, but it does put him in a field by himself.

I agree that the EIU QB will probably win it just because he's a Senior. But hands-down...huh? Adams has one less passing TD, but has higher efficiency and almost 500 yards rushing. The only area that Garoppolo is really leading is passing yards, and it's not really by that much. Adams has put up those numbers playing against stiffer competition, and has a win over an FBS top 25 where he was basically unstoppable. I'd say it's definitely anything but a "hands-down" decision.

Don't know who those guys are but I'm assuming QB's of the past....point being the defense of the last couple of years would have won titles with about 8 QB's under the helm for NDSU.

In other words, no, Jensen isn't the best.

Exactly, NDSU came into FCS strong, then in 08-09 on the back of 2 VERY average QB's, laid a major turd. Once Brock came in, they came back. I see a lot of good things in Carson Wentz but those years will probably always make me nervous for someone new.

I think Jimmy Girappolo is the best quarterback for the pro level. He seems to have great arm strength like Joe Flacco did for the Blue Hens. If I had to win one game, I would go with Brock Jensen. He has things that no quarterback has. He probably won't get drafted by an NFL team, which is ashame. He has better intangibles and minimizes mistakes the best of any FCS quarterback.

I think it's a tough call this year but if you are putting a list of the best QBs in FCS together I think there are a clear cut 10 names to mention based on either their skill set and/or the season they have had.

Vernon Adams, EWU
Jimmy Garoppolo, EIU
Jeff Mathews, Cornell
Brock Jensen, NDSU
John Robertson, Villanova
Quinn Epperly, Princeton
Andy Summerlin, Samford
DeNarius McGhee, Montana State
Michael Nebrich, Fordham
Bryan Bennett, SLU

Please note that this list is not in order.

Jordan Johnson is close and I almost put him on. His off field and the fact he hasn't had the overall career is why I did not put him there. McGhee has been Big Sky MVP twice and Johnson has not so I went with him. McGhee is not an elite QB and I would not put him in my top 5 or 6 but I don't see how you can leave a two-time Big Sky MVP off a list of the top 10 when his team has been a playoff team consistently under him.

I factored in overall career and skill set in this. If you are just talking about this year only then McGhee would not be in the top 15 and Johnson would be top 10.

I'd take Blake Bortles over Carr, Carden, Lynch, Mauk, or Adams at the very least.

It is hard to tell exactly how good McCarron, Petty, Winston, or Miller are because nobody ever lays a hand on them.

Oh Red don't pick fights. All players have heart, wanna win etc. But Brock is the only quarterback out of the group with the chance to break a record and be the winningest QB in FCS history. You have to be special to achieve that, and perhaps w Brick it is the intangibles that have gotten him there and not just stats.

Doesn't make him the best, but it does put him in a field by himself.

I had no idea that Brock was NDSU's entire team! Holy prairie cow batman!

Fair enough. I assumed you were basing it entirely their performances this season.

Also not sure why a false accusation that made his life a living hell should have any bearing on the quality of his career.

Here's some good highlights of Adams.

Adams orchestrates a near perfect game on offense in an upset of #25 Oregon State. Eastern scores on every possession in the game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rszXQA_GCLo

Last year against Sam Houston in the semi-finals. After being down 35-0 at half, Adams comes in to replace Kyle Padron in the second half and throws 6 TDs. Heart? Determination to win? Yeah, I think so.

No, but the reasoning you used would also qualify every starter on the bison team as one of the best ever at their positions because of the number of wins they have. To say that Brock has the most/best intangibles of any FCS QB simply based on number of wins, is obtuse.

He's impressive Red, but do you guys run the ball ever?

Absolutely - we've run 384 times for 1,990 yards with one game remaining. For not being a run-first team, that ain't too shabby.

A lot of people think EWU's offense is comparable to the "Run & Shoot", or the "Air Raid", but that's not the case at all. Baldwin's offense is based on Dennis Erickson's 1-Back spread offense, which was designed to spread the field horizontally and attack vertically to open up a better match-up for his RB. xtwocentsx

This year we have 4-5 very capable backs, and all but one of them has been the starter at one point or another, so we like to run the ball as much as possible.
