Best Nederland Qb Ever?


Recommended Posts

brad sullivan was very good.dustin hood too.

Brad Sullivan was a impressive big physical looking prospect. His senior season, I went to see Nederland play WO-S. I was awed by him. By the time they met PNG he'd faded a little. He still was a great prospect.

From pure athletic ability, probably Brad Sullivan. The was fast, could run with moves and had a very good arm. He was simply an awesome high school quarterback. From a speed standpoint (especially for a quarterback), if you ever let Sullivan have an open lane, he was gone. There were very few people that could catch him in the open. I don't think he had the size to move on to a major college but for high school he was tops.

Dustin Hood had about the best passing arm that I have seen in the last twenty years in Nederland. He didn't have the run ability but from a drop back passer, he was almost unbeatable and had huge numbers to back it up.

Under the current spread type offenses I think Sullivan would be great with his more complete package of speed, running ability and passing ability.

Both were just very good athletes and were equally adept at baseball. Possibly Nederland's best ever quarterbacks got Div I scholarships...but for baseball.

The best I've seen, and yes, this topic has been covered.

I don't know about best QB ever, but someone must have been pretty good to lead Nederland to a State title 50 years ago.  Who was that quarterback that lead us to our only State Title?  Betcha Bum and McKenzie remember!

In the mid-60's, before that 20+ year drought to PN-G and 30 years before our present playoff series run there was Steve Stuart that took Big Ned deep into the playoffs and signed on at Baylor.

  Don't forget these Black & Gold Ghosts from the past.

I was at that game! when he took off up the middle on that long run I knew the game was over.

ryan would have been a good one, just got a bad break.

Brad Sullivan or Dustin Hood , that's a difficult decision. Dustin was such a great pocket passer, accurate and cool under pressure. Brad was just an excellent athlete who had a rocket arm and scrambling ability.

I can't choose one, but I know one thing they could shine on the baseball diamond.

Barrow was terrible, weak arm, weak mind and couldn't run out of sight in a week.........................

I think they were referring to high school, not today Hogan.

How could he have a weak mind with a head like that???

Yea you right Rider Mr. Barrow must have been very proud sitting in the stands.  You couldn't miss his son, he was the one that looked like Jack in the box's son.

    • Regardless of the offense, kids need a reason or purpose to play football. Normally, for most kids, football is something they genuinely enjoy playing, because most players won’t be suiting up on Saturdays. At the end of the day, the most successful teams have kids and coaches that genuinely love the game and get joy and fulfillment playing it.  Vidor’s two current biggest issues are the lack of appeal to play the game and a lack of community support. The offense has been the same for years, and Mathews did a great job of getting the kids and community behind his teams year in and year out. Vidor’s whole identity was being a team you hated to play because you knew you were in for a long physical night. That made the game fun for the kids who played, and they took a lot of pride in it. Currently, I would argue that the toxic attitude of the community towards the offense and Dubois in general is the biggest thorn in the team’s side. The need for instant gratification from fans is what is fueling it all. When the players go home or out in the community and hear: how bad the offense is, how bad the defense is, or how bad the coaching is, the players will begin to lose pride in the program, and the game is no longer fun. This leads to discipline issues and players quitting. Vidor has lost their identity and Dubois and the offensive scheme isn’t the culprit. The Vidor community needs to leave their objections of who they hired at the door and let the man work if they wanna be successful in the future. 
    • We will see i heard they pretty dam good 3 losses but all to great teams
    • Yes. May have been Jimmies. What I’m seeing is a lot more teams going back to more ‘traditional style’ offenses. These things go in cycles, and it’s very difficult for all but mega schools to consistently find QB’s who can really be effective with a true spread type offense year in and year out. I’d venture to guess most schools have an outstanding QB that can win a game almost on their own only every few years if that, and that’s what you need for the ‘high flying’ spreads. So coaches go for the O’s that they can groom the majority of kids to be successful running, and take advantage of the superstar’s skills more within that O when they get them.
