All-Time All-EWU Team

[DefendtheRed]

QB is a difficult one, but I'd have to go with the guy that won the Championship game and the Payton the next year.

 

[flyingnail]

Don't know how you leave Chris Powers of that list at Center either ! 2 time All-American, Walter Camp AA, team Captain and 3 year starter for the 2010 NC Eagles !

Not sure how you can leave Bo Levi off this list at QB, since he did win us a National Championship, and the Walter Payton award.

It's no disrespect meant from my list. The problem is Eastern has had a lot of great QBs. Mark Tenneson, Harry Leons, Lance Blankenship, and Vernon Adams also didn't make the list... and every one of those guys could just as easily been included.

Some of my logic for not putting him on was that he had the good fortune of having some great talent to work with. Erik Meyer and Matt Nichols each had a year where they just willed the team into the playoffs. Had Eastern made the playoffs in 2011 with all the injuries, I probably would have included Bo Levi. Obviously, this is purely hypothetical anyway, so no one really knows who'd best who in the fantasy scenario.

Still, I stand by my list as being pretty damn accurate, and I've been around Eastern football for a LONG time.

wineguy would consider it a personal slight if someone thought that Bo Levi wasn't the best at putting on eyeblack.

:lol:

I never saw Erik Meyer or Matt Nichols play. Were they as good at making on the go play adjustments as Bo Levi? Personally, with all the receiving and O-line talent around the quarterback, this is something I would look for most.

Then I like the quarterback list we have. Vernon Adams is a terrific athlete, but the experience just isn't there yet. I'm certain next year he will be on the top of the All time EWU team list, but (hypothetically) we would need someone who can make adjustments on the go to optimize the offense.

I agree...

We only have one national championship winning QB and that counts for something...a lot!

Had BLM been here more than 2 years he would have had some unbelievable stats...

:lol:

I don't care who you are...that's funny right there.

 

[wineguy]

Your right about Bo and the eye black. I have watched him accomplish unbelievable things, like the come from behind victory over NDSU in the playoffs. I don't disagree that Matt Nichols or Eric Meyer didn't make great contributions to the program, with the talent they had around them. They all had good to great WR's.
Yes, Bo is a back up QB in the CFL, and he loves it. Not sure what Eric and Matt's status is right now, but they didn't win a National Championship, and that has to account for something.
By the way, the 'eye black' your referring too, said "Family First", not only to his biological family, but also the family he inherited at EWU. Just saying, he deserves to be on the list.

 

[EWUeag]

Wineguy I'm just giving you shit. Bo Levi would be on my list if I were to ever make one. Even though I was tearing my hair out after his first couple of games

Assuming you want to know what Erik and Matt's status is ... Matt is recovering from the second serious injury in the span of a year:

Erik's career may be done (?) - he's currently a free agent but getting up there in age by football standards.

Wineguy, I don't think anyone is denying the contributions of your son. That 2010 year was magical and the entire roster will be celebrated for years to come. The point of All-Time Lists are that they are just people's opinions... Fodder for message boards and the like!

It's a toss-up for me, but I could easily have Bo on that list. In 2 years, he was the winningest QB in Eastern history, won a National Championship, and National Player of the year.

All things considered, Adams will probably break every record in the books at EWU, but it doesn't make the accomplishments of any of our other great QB's (Bo Levi, Nichols, and Meyer) any smaller. It just means that the bar has been raised VERY high at EWU...and all those guys are part of that.

wineguy,
Glad to see that you are still giving our Fans some hell At least they are civil and polite. If I am not mistaking, Eric Meyers was hired as QB Coach at Central Washing University early this year, he was working with our QBs when he got the call. Coach Baldwin stomping grounds. I am getting over the Flu, Fever, Chills, and very hard cough, sore ribs. I am on some Cough Medicine, makes me feel light headed, so I have been home for about a week, missed all practices this week, their flight out this morning to Cal Poly, I am sure they team knows we were there in spirit. Team should be @ 7-0 BS, 9-2 OA. If we play strong make Cal Poly commit turnovers. Cory is playing his butt off, and I enjoy watching all the Receivers doing so outstanding. Enjoy the ride, I am, and enjoyed feeding the Athletes. take care. Time to Watch MS @ EWU last Saturday, and a complete game. Go Eagles!!!!!Vic Wallace

Matt stopped by Kalm's tailgate this past Saturday, he said he was 100%. He and his wife are doing well. :clap:

E-Rock is QB Coaching for CWU, not sure if he'll continue to play for the Shock this upcoming season. He put up some ridiculous numbers this past year, winning MVP of the AFL. The Shock fell to the eventual Champ Arizona 57-65 in the Conference Championship game.

Probably not a HOFer, but sitting in Jack and Dans right now I had a former EWU OLB who graduated in 1980 come up and ask me about the game today.

Chris is definitely on the list. And you forgot to mention he's an all pro digger! :thumb: :mrgreen:
