Comment: I've watched all of these guys play football. While all of them
do a great job for their team, I must honestly say Scott Buisson's #1!
If you haven't seen him play, then you have definitely missed the best
quarterback of the four mentioned.

Best Quarterback: Nathan Brown
Comment: Hands down, NATHAN BROWN. All you have to do is look at Nathan
Brown's career record at Central Arkansas and his career stats. Brown
is a legit NFL prospect and has the scouts following his progress this
season. After seeing him play in the Southland Conference the last
couple of years, the kid is VERY good. First full year in conference
play he led the Southland in passing 3,084yds 26tds and 10 ints.
Through 5 games this year he has 1,458yds, 14tds 0ints. Any of the
others match up?

football with him among other sports. He may be small to most critics,
but he has the heart and work ethic of a lion. I've never seen someone

Comment: In that order. I am an ASU Wolves fan first and they would beat
the other three teams in a series this year hands down but Brown is a

Best Quarterback: Nate "Superman" Brown
Comment: Every Quarterback listed deserves all the credit that they
receive. Well, except C. Dick that is. I do not have a negative thing
to say about Buisson or Leonard, but Nate Brown is the man. If you
factor in both football stats and football IQ, he goes straight to the
top of the list. I could go on and on about all of his college
accolades, but I can't wait to see him take a snap in the League. He
may not "Joe Flacco" it because he doesn't have the prototypical NFL
size, but I fully expect to see him do his thing on Sundays sometime in
the future.

Best Quarterback: Corey Leonard
Comment: Leonard is just a JR, and is a field general. His WR's are
decent at best, but he still puts up nummbers consistently against 1-A
competition. Leonard runs a 4.5 40 yard dash, and is 7th in the Sun
Belt conference in rushing, to go with his passing stats. Of his 2 INT's
thrown this year, one hit his WR in the hands and deflected right to a
defender. Corey may not have the height to play in the NFL, but as far
as a college QB, you can't go wrong with stAte's #1!

Comment: Nathan exemplifies teamwork, field leadership, skill and the
ability to read defenses, very quickly. His command of the game is far
superior to Dicks, Leonards, and Buisson. If you haven't witnessed his
accuracy, his ability to elude the pass rush and his lightning fast
reads, you haven't seen what the pro scouts are drooling over! Comparing
the other QBs to Nathan is a joke! Compare oranges to oranges and Nathan
is a national leader at his level of football. If he played at ASU or
uaf he would lead ASU or uaf to Bowl games with ease. Anyone who has
seen him play knows that Nathan has the "it" factor..something the other
three just can't come close to and NFL teams crave so much! Nearly 9000
yards and 80+ TDs..the stats speak for themselves..Go Nathan!

Comment: I have watched Nathan Brown play at UCA for four years. From
his first start as a freshman he has
been a team leader and a team player. Nathan has
never cared about personal stats as long as the Bears win. Although his
stats are the best ever in
the state of Arkansas for a quarterback, he is still the most humble kid
you will ever meet. Nathan is a winner on and off the field. No
disrespect to the other QBS on this list but I would pick Nathan Brown
every day of the week and

Comment: Nathan Brown has consistantly put up the best numbers of all
the QB's while running a very complex offense, and playing against tough
competition his entire career at UCA. He not only produces gaudy
numbers, but is a strong leader of his team and has garnered the most
attention of the four from NFL scouts. I believe that Brown will be the
only one of these four QB's to play on Sundays. Also, I think it is an
extreme discredit to the Sports Writing staff at the ADG if you actually
all agreed that Casey Dick should be included in this debate for his
performance on the field. I can only assume that he was included because
he is the starter for the flagship program of the state and you felt
required to include him. He is awful.

Comment: He has led a drastic turnaround by a team that finished last
season with only four wins. The team is now the only Arkansas team
getting votes for the top 25. This quarterback has been leading the
conference in rushing, averaging over 130 yards a game, by over 50 yards
a game. He is the first player and only player in NCAA history to pass
for over 400 yards and rush for over 200 yards in the same game. The
only other guy that came close rushed for 121 and his name is Steve
McNair, NFL MVP. Statstics can't possibly tell you what this QB is like
on the field though. Let's just say there is a reason the national
media has nicknamed him "Houdini".

Comment: What else can you say but his name? Scott Buisson. Even his
name takes his credentials. Scott is an old English name meaning
"painted warrior." This kid is truly a warrior. Anyone who can pass for
over 400 yards and run for over 200 yards against a very good Henderson
State football team is truly the best quarterback in the state and maybe
even the best quarterback in the entire division II football league. He
is a beast to be reckoned with and I believe that he will be even better
in the years to come. Yes, I did say years because this kid is just a
sophmore. He still has at least one more year to play great football for
UAM. This kid could not only be the best quarterback in the state now
but he could be the best quarterback in state history. He is on his way
and if he continues playing like he is now, he could surpass even the
greatest from the natural state. Don't be surprised to see this kid on
Sundays in a few years!

Monticello much, but I'm sure Buisson is a fine quarterback.) In my
opinion, Nathan Brown could be playing for a SEC level school and thrive
in the right system. He makes good decisions and few mistakes. His low
release point could potentially be a problem against better defenses,
but he played well against Tulsa. It will be interesting to see how
Dick fares against the same team.

Best Quarterback: Scott Buisson
Comment: To compare Casey Dick to any other quarterback in this field is
just ludicrous. The only reason Buisson came to UAM was because of his
height. We know how critical people are about the height and weight
requirements to make it but you can make it if you are talented. Just
look at two quarterbacks who are 6'0 and shorter in Chase Daniel from
Mizzou and Tod Reesing from Kansas. They just find a way to get the job
done and win. Just like Buisson. Go Weevils

Comment: Brown has Leonard and the rest of the field beat in every
category.
Casey Dick - 2008: 1,189 yards, 5 TDs;
career: 4,459 yards, 39 TDs
Corey Leonard - 2008: 1,110 yards, 10 TDs;
career: 4,666 yards, 34 TDs
Scott Buisson - 2008: 193 yards, 2 TDs;
career: 393 yards, 2 TDs
NATHAN BROWN - 2008: 1,458 yards, 14 TDs;
career: 6,408 yards, 59 TDs
(all stats from ESPN.com)
More total yardage than any other QB in state history at any college -
The choice seems very obvious. By the way, UCA plays Tulsa and
University of California this year - not too shabby as far as
competition goes...

Best Quarterback: Scott Buison
Comment: I have watched each of these quarterbacks this season and I
think that no quarterback means more to his team than Scott Buisson.
Leonard and Brown are both very impressive quarterbacks but Buisson has
turned a UAM team around from a 2-20 record over the 05 and 06 seasons
to an 8-8 record since Buisson became a starter. The weevils are 4-2 and
breaking MANY offensive yardage records this season. My order is
Buisson, Brown, Leonard, and the other unimportant guy(lol)

Best Quarterback: Scott Buisson
Comment: It's clear classification has no bearing - see Casey Dick's 4%
- but it's also clear that Buisson's stats are by far the most
impressive and the teams UAM has faced are certainly comparable to UCA
and maybe even ASU. Somebody
missed out bigtime because Buisson plays a lot bigger than 5-10. And
he's a sophomore.

Comment: Scott Buisson is certainly the most valuable of all the QBs
listed. His ability is top-notch. He's the first player in NCAA history
to pass for 400 yards and rush for 200 yards in a game. He led UAM to an
800-yard offensive effort against Harding last year.
The kid's the real deal.

Best Quarterback: Casey Dick
Comment: You cannot compare the 4. Buisson is in Div. II for God sakes.
Put him in the SEC and see what he does. He wouldnt make the roster.
Leonard is a decent QB who is atleast in Div I-A. But put him in Dick's
shoes and see what he does. He would be our 4th or 5th string QB. Nathan
Brown is one who you could argue for. He is a great QB, for a Div. I-AA.
If you put him in the SEC like Casey has to do every week, he would be a
solid QB. He would be very comparable to Casey's numbers. This poll is a
joke, because your going to have all the UCA and UAM and ASU morons get
on here and vote over and over and over for their man. When us true Hog
fans will do it once to just check it out. We all know who is a more
talented QB. To compare a QB in the SEC, who is leading the SEC in
passing, to a great Div. I-AA QB, a solid Sun Belt QB, and a fluke of a
Div. II QB is ludicrous.

------------------------------------
One way to guage a player is to look at what the team would do without
him in the line-up. If Dick were not in the line-up, no one would
really notice a fall off in talent. UCA and ASU would both be hurt some
if their QB were out. If Buisson goes down with an injury, UAM is in
serious trouble. He is the heart, soul, and talent of that team.

Best Quarterback: Nathan Brown
Comment: Nathan was overlooked coming out of high school, mainly because
he had backed up Landon Leach for 2 years at Russellville High School,
then finally started his senior year, BUT OH WHAT A SENIOR YEAR. He
threw for over 400 yards in a playoff game against Cabot, and he would
have quarterbacked Russellville to a victory over Conway if it hadn't
been for that one-man wrecking crew named Peyton Hillis. But now, I
thank God that Houston Nutt overlooked him, because he would have been
ruined in Nutt's terrible system at Arkansas. Clint Conque has had a lot
to do with Nathan's development, but, if you knew Nathan like I know
Nathan (he's my younger sister's son), you would understand why he is so
successful.

mature progress each year. His game management, accurate arm and leg
strengh has helped him elude multiple onslaughts from opponents. His
desire to be a leader and enormous passion for the game overcome any
miscues that occure. Polls such as this give fans the opportunity to
