It's part of being a leader which comes with the QB position. Now if Ben plays well in the playoffs and in contested games as he has the last two weeks in non-contested games , he will be in the discussion.

Let’s face it, unless Ben is standing on a podium in Frisco lifting some hardware, this whole thread and forum will be on fire griping about him. Even if he goes 29-30 for 400 yards and somebody drops a game winner as the clock expires, it’ll be his fault for putting too much spin on the ball or throwing it too hard.

And on the other side it's never his fault.

Do you believe he's a top 5 of all time QB at JMU right now?

Does it matter if he’s top 5, top 50 or top 500? He’s arguably a top 5 FCS QB in the country right now and doing a damn fine job, people should get behind him. Obviously there’s quite a bit of glass half empty people out there; those same people need to experience some really down years to appreciate what they have.

No it doesn't matter if he's top 5, top 50, or top 100. It does not really matter if you think he is top 5 in the country, and I do not. It does not matter if you've seen enough this year to have full confidence in Ben, and I have not until I see how he plays in the crunch time.

It's just differing opinions on a message board people should not get upset about. I don't understand why people get upset if everyone does not see things as they do.

What matters is the success of JMU football and we all root for that. The rest is just personal observations and opinions.
