Per RandBall:

Bill Belichick had Tom Brady in New England. Fleck had . . . Tanner Morgan at Minnesota?

This a bit of a fun stretch when we talk about comparative skill level and accomplishments, but these are the plain facts: Belichick has a .774 winning percentage as Patriots head coach with Brady as a starter and a .460 winning percentage without him.

At Minnesota, Fleck has a .702 winning percentage (33-14 record) with Morgan as a starter and a .444 winning percentage (16-20 record) with everyone else.

The "everyone else" starting QB category includes Conor Rhoda, Demry Croft, Zack Annexstad and Kaliakmanis. Others like Seth Green and Vic Viramontes (remember Vic?) were hailed as big-time QB options but couldn't lay claim to the starting job.


Go Gophers!!
