I was by no means saying Carpenter is a bad quarterback. I have seen him play and he is great. He is a great leader and a great "Reader of Defenses" as you put it. I don't know about him being the "best in the state" - but he is very very good at it. I don't know if it is North Border's offense or what it is - but you cannot argue that most of his passes are long balls that he throws as high and far as he can. Those two tall stud receivers he has just go up and get the ball. It doesn't matter if he is 100% accurate or not. They just go get it.
Please don't get defensive - I had a lot of nice things to say about this kid. Again - a great leader. when I think Quarterback I think of a kid who can make all the throws as well as being a great leader and "reader of defenses." There a lot of kids out there who can read and hand the ball off - I think when we are talking about the Best quarter back in the state - throwing the ball needs to be figured into the conversation.
Again - I agree that Carpenter is one of the best quarterbacks in the state.....
Personally I think the two best quarterbacks in the state our in Region 3. Seth Nichols and Tanner Carpenter.
Nichols, DP, can make every throw, thrown for over 2,000 and ran for 700 with 50 total td's coming into playoffs.
Carpenter, North Border, don't know his stats, but I can't argue with him being a great, great leader. His team feeds off of him. When he goes, they go. He keeps his cool under pressure. He does a nice job in the passing game, but is also use to melt the clock in the end.

Well actually it would be 57 now that the first round of playoffs are over. On tuesday he was 22-34 with 306 yards passing and 87 yards rushing with 7 total td's. 4 passing and 3 rushing. So now his season stats are around 2,400 yards passing with 800 yards rushing and 57 total touchdowns.

You are 100% correct my friend. I have talked to people who have seen his stats..... those stats are 100% offical.
I would say that the numbers speak for themselves. Best QB in the state.

He could play either one. I think its which sport offers him the best oppurtunity. He is a stud at them both. I personally think it will be football he plays, but it wouldn't suprise me that he played baseball instead.

Yes - He is also a great baseball player. He put up all-State numbers last year in football. Dustin Brend from Central Valley was 1st team all-state - and Nichols had almost identical numbers to him - but at that time I remember hearing that Nichols was talking baseball.
He is definately turning a lot of heads this football season. I have heard that NDSU is where he wants to go.
I have heard the same. With his size and athleticism - no doubt he could play college basketball as well as baseball and football.BballFan1307 wrote:ifoughtpiranhas wrote:pakkyzoo wrote:BballFan1307 wrote:i've heard he's more interested to play baseball in college....anyone heard that?

Olderbaak shouldn't even be considered a quarterback. A prime example is against North Border I dont know if he even completed a pass. But he ran for 145 yards on like 20 carries. Hes a natural runningback playing quarterback.
Nichols probably did turn it over 10+ times (picks and fumbless) last year. But were talking about this year. This year his stats are undeniable. He has stepped his game up. Took care of the football. I think he has 3 picks on the year? Maybe 3 or 4 fumbles?? Were talking about this year's best quarterback. Not last years.
