I’m not even sure if Reil is looking to play at the next level. This is the only year he has ever played QB. Heck, he’s probably just happy to be playing this year. But what a year it has been thus far. Reil sat out last night’s laugher vs. Castro Valley, as did most of the seniors.

A look at the box score and you see no mention of familiar names Reil, Alvarez or Taft, and their leading tackler Prenot sat out as well. Sarmenta ran that first punt back for a TD and caught 1 pass, but was out of the game in the 1st quarter. The junior class (and soph call ups) picked up the ball and ran with it without skipping a beat. Washington had 2 carries for 88 yards and 2 TDs. Ezaburio had 74 yards and a TD, while Soph call up Karris Johnson ran for over 100 yards and a TD on over 10 yards per carry. Junior Kevin Farley also filled in amirably at QB.

Reil is a tough kid, great competitor, but I cant see him translating to the next level. Slow release, average strength arm keeps him back.

Last line – great stats in a great offense or very very good stats in a so so offense. Sorry about typos.

The most important QB stats for determing personal acheivement are TDs and passing as percentage of total offense. Reil had most TDs. He clearly had he most help other than Houston, but hard to argue with 25 TDs. He should be first. Who had the highest percentage of offense – Kline. No question he should have thrown more TDs But his comp percentage and yards would have been top 1 or 2 without all the drops (look at Danville patch articles about the games – several mention the drops) – and he was a bigger part of offense than others. Look at the passing stats above compared to total offense. Lockie had a better stat season but had an awful lot of help too. The best thing for a QBs stats is a good rushing attack. Who had that? Houston and Reil and Lockie. Put Kline in the Cal or MV offense and you get better stats. Better than Lockie or Reil did- who knows. Put Reil and Lockie in SRV offense and they have worse stats. Would they have then done better than Kline did. Again who knows. But they were the class of the league. They either had great stats on a great team or very good stats on a so so team. At DLS here were so so stats on a great great team. I think Reil #1 based on TDs and Lockie and Kline next in either order based on which you think is better – great stars in a great offense or wry ops stats in a mediocre offense.

I think a good route for Reil might be JC. He needs a little bit more experience starting, but I think he has some good tools and Kravitz was great for him. Size isn’t great, but enough that I think he could play at the next level. He’s definitely got the ability to play at the FCS level maybe a Davis or Cal Poly type kid. That’s the route Blake Wayne went and now he’s at Fordham playing.

The EBAL will never be lacking for good QB’s. There is always going to be a discussion about who the best is. I thought they did it right last year giving both Mannion and Nottingham the award. I’m not one to advocate for ties, but there really was no way to distinguish one over the other last year.

I believe that lockie is the best out of the three quarterbacks. He has the most yards by 300 and the only reason Houston is getting any recognition is because he is playing for the “Green Machine.” If he was on any other team in EBAL he wouldnt be even in the running. He is nothing without Dunne and his offensive line.

64 i agree with everything you said except i think lockie will go D1. A potential match-up between Cal and MV in the Semis with both QBs playing at there top level will answer a lot of questions about both QBs future.

So Lockie out plays Kline last week who is going D1.

Lockie did not look good against Cal— the reason– the whole MV team played badly.

Ok, Lockie plays in a system where you throw a lot, it either works or it does not. Meaning the QB either gets the ball where it can be caught or he does not.
Lockie did.
Next yr will be fun to watch, Lockie, Houston and Kline.

No McGovern at MV next yr but many talented Jrs from this year to catch the ball.

SRV has many talented Jrs this year as does DLS.

Buckle up as we finish this yr and get ready for next yr!!

EBAL All-League QB is one of the closest competitions in years with 3 clear high achievers. Each utilized all the available weapons effectively. The most effective lobbyist (coach) will win this one.

Houston – proven winner developing strong leadership skills, but needs to develop a touch pass, probably D1.
Lockie – throws the best deep ball, but did not look good at all against CAL, probably D2.
Reil – throws ball-control passes in a ball-control system, deep game is not his strength, probably D2.

That was alphabetic…would like to see Reil win it, but won’t be surprised if the MV-factor plays in.

david i am not sure if i mentioned it earlier but i do downgrade lockie for his system because you have to take into account the conditions a player is put under and how it effects their play.

If i were voting for all east bay, i would take into account how each qb would preform if they were put into another situation. So what would happen if reil played at mv or dls. What about if lockie played at dls or cal. What about houston at mv or cal. Or how would they all do at AV or Livermore. this way i feel we can get a better understanding of how good a player is and who actually deserves first team.
