Alright, I'm pretty new here, but I'll jump in.....
On the surface, this seems fairly easy, you gotta go Krenzel right? I mean, the NC and all, what's to discuss. If you really think about it though, things are not that obvious. We all love Krenzel, of course, he was clutch, made big plays when it mattered, was an all around good guy, and he and Troy's stats are pretty comparable at this point, and will always be one of my alltime favorites, HOWEVER.......
I went with TS because he is the better quarterback and , I think, in fact in the same conversation as a leader and clutch player. He is a far more accurate thrower (I can't help but remember how many times I screamed at the TV after CK missed a throw). TS exudes a confidence that directly affects his teammates and lead directly to the dynamic offense we've seen over the last couple of years. The 2002, 2003 offenses just rarely seemed confident or dynamic. I'll give you that the philosophy and playcalling change help TS, but I think that Troy's abilities allowed that change to occur, remember JT has always said that he builds his offense around his personnel, so something had to be there that kept him from being more agressive with CK. CK was clutch, and had a great NC game from a running stanpoint (and made the throw on 4th and 14), but I also don't think you can be much more clutch than TS has been over the last 2 years against Michigan and in the Fiesta bowl this year with his dazzling play. Throw in Troy's obvious leadership on the field (on a team that desperatey needed a leader), and I went with Troy.
No disrespect against CK, like I said he's an alltime favorite, but I think Troy is a special player who has directly lead to the offense's dramatic improvement.
