DenverBisonFan

First of all, RIP Ralph Wilson and Godspeed, Jim Kelly. It's been a bad week to say the least for BIlls fans. I stumbled across this and thought I'd add a few things. I grew up in North Dakota, so I was a Vikings fan. Then moved to Denver in the '80s, and also rooted for the Bills in all their Super Bowls. Thankfully the Broncos finally broke the string of SB futility for me. Now on to Brock Jensen and NDSU. A couple posters on here were talking about a D2 quarterback -- as someone else pointed out, NDSU is not D2, but FCS (formerly 1-AA). Back in Phil Hansen's days at NDSU they were D2 but moved up in '04 and became playoff eligible in '09. There have been a few "notable" quarterbacks in FCS the past few years, including Kurt Warner, Tony Romo, and Joe Flacco. Jimmy Garopollo is overwhelmingly considered to be the best FCS quarterback this year, and he will most certainly have an NFL future. Does Jensen have the tangibles to be an NFL quarterback? Not sure, time will tell. One thing that Garopollo couldn't do, and that was to lead his team to a championship. Jensen did it three times; were it not for some horrendous "prevent" defense by the Bison and a dubious fumble call (in OT against eventual-champ Eastern Washington in the 2010 quarterfinals), it could very well have been 4. Like I said, time will tell on the physical tools; some things you can't question about Jensen are his leadership, calm under pressure, and competitive fire. He's also a heckuva nice young man, from everything I've seen and heard. I think someone will give him a chance, whether it be a late round pick or as a UFA. If you have 15 minutes to spare, take a look at the video of the final drive against Kansas State. Jensen was outstanding in the fourth quarter with a hostile sellout crowd against a KSU team that was supposedly bigger, stronger, faster, and deeper than the Bison and would "wear them down by halftime". You can also get a little look at left tackle Billy Turner (#77), who is projected to be a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Good luck to the Bills this year! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMvobbZlGCI
