Hawkins vs. Hansen: Was Nepotism the Answer for Colorado?

Based on my QB rating system, unfortunately there was no clear cut answer to the question of who should have started. Except, when playing against Top 25 teams was concerned. Hansen played above his average in these games while Hawkins played well below his average. I put in a projection for Hansen in 2011 too, only a little improvement, but that might be all you need to make a bowl this year.

Cody was the "most improved QB in the country" in 2010?

if you say so friend!

Is that a national blog you write? and you’re writing an article in April of 2011 about Hansen vs Hawkins? Seems a little irrelevant/played out at this point, but thanks for giving our team some coverage I guess!

national in the sense that anyone in the nation can write a yard barker blog.
but thanks for rehashing the memories that we’d all soon forget!

Clarifications

The blog that the Hawkins most improved QB article was posted on, In The Bleachers, is a national blog. Hawkins had the biggest jump in his Positive Impact Factor rating from 2009 to 2010 of any qualified FBS QB. The Hawkins v. Hansen article couldn’t have been written earlier as it was intended to be a retrospective piece on the Dan Hawkins era and because there wouldn’t have been enough statistical data on Hansen. Phil, my YB blog is not the garden variety. It’s on the YB Network. I’m also a member of the FWAA. Does that make me credible? I couldn’t put the article on ITB or my site that is still being built so it went on the YB one.
