NC State Wolfpack: Progress Report on the Quarterback Factory
NC State Wolfpack
The result of all that mediocrity was that I spent a lot of time gushing over NC State.
“Of all the North Carolina area teams, it would seem that NC State is the closest thing to a quarterback factory that we have. That starts with Roman Gabriel, who played so long ago that I have a better understanding of his acting career than his football career. Then there is Erik Kramer, who looked really good at times for the Lions and Bears, but could not seem to stay healthy.
These days, State is well represented at the QB position. Philip Rivers is still playing solidly for the San Diego Chargers. Rivers, who was once recruited by some teams as a tight end, now makes regular appearances on Pro Bowl teams.

Mike Glennon started for Tampa Bay last year and is still thought of as the quarterback of the future there. The guy who former Wolfpack coach Tom O’Brien let go in favor of Glennon hasn’t done too poorly either. Russell Wilson won the last Super Bowl and is likely a fixture in the league for years to come.”
Glennon is no longer the future of the Bucs and now State can add Jacoby Brissett to its list of quarterbacks in the league. State now has a quarterback from each of the last three coaches there.
Dave Doeren went out and got Brissett and his system has a lot of quarterback involvement, so there could be more in the future with good recruiting.
