The quarterback IT factor

Wait.... Could it be? That's it! You are friends with Nichols! It all makes sense now. You are incapable of objectivity in regards to him. You should have just said so. Talk about taking it personal :lol:

Yes, we all know that Nichols had great stats. He still doesn't make my varsity "It" team. He's a solid swing man. QBs with that intangible trait will their teams to victory, they don't blame other players on the field, and they ooze that "come with me if you want to live" type of attitude. Meyer has it, BLM has it, Nichols had it half the time.

So it's a personal thing. Okee Dokee.

Not at all. He's never said a mean spirited word to me. And it's funny you bring this up. You get more butt hurt and rush to the defense more than anyone on this board. Gtfo. You can't handle the fact that people have differing opinions than you, so you try to dig up any stat that supports your side, and you do so in a completely arrogant manner. It must be tiresome.

Woopsie! Two replies? Must have struck a nerve. :mrgreen:

Listen, I'm perfectly fine with debating the facts. I started with some stats which you chose to refute by asking if he'd ever won in WGS, and questioning his performances in two playoff losses.

I don't think two losing performances define a career and while he started slow in those games, the stats show he clearly had decent performances. It would be tough to make a case he was the reason we lost them.

Your counter about whether he won in Missoula was just plain and simply dumb. He had big games in a big setting.

Sorry for the arrogance but when I make dumb arguments I tend to take it.

I was never in the huddle with Nichols, so I'll take your word on :

they don't blame other players on the field, and they ooze that "come with me if you want to live" type of attitude.

Neither one of those things are uncommon with leadership. Neither are the style I personally find endearing but they're both present in many great QB's. Or have you never seen Brady bitch out a team mate or think he's demanding?

Matt benefitted from longevity for sure. But being a 4 year starter also suggests "it". Like everyone else he had ups and downs.

Big Sky Conference career records:

Completions
Yardage
TD Passes
Total Yards

All suggest "it" in my book. I'm ok with you logically disagreeing.

Peace. :thumb:

First time poster here. I played with Nichols. To suggest he didn't have the "it" factor is crazy.

Ask any of his teammates - there's not a more competitive person out there, and they layed it all on the line for Matt (best example: 2009 NAU game when EVERYONE, including Taiwan, seemed to be playing hurt).

Not a knock on BLM at all - that kid was ice when it counted, and definitely has the "it" factor as well. All II know is even when we came up short vs Montana or in the playoffs - everyone believed we had a chance when #16 had the ball. That's the "it" factor IMO.
