He played the game with a style and gusto rarely seen. A lot of people here didn't fully support him because he wasn't a Dino recruit. l will always love him.
Spot on, we can thank coach Lester for finding ED. We were looking for a qb late in the recruiting cycle and TL sifted through hundreds of hs qb tape. ED caught his eye as a track star and 6'3, 190#. Loved his athleticism but thought he was super raw as a qb having only played the position a few years in hs. That year, Tim Lester found Syracuses most sig and impactful recruit since DM.
Without ED the last 3 years, DINO is most likely on the hot seat and we , as a fanbase are ready for the bridge. ED was a huge game changer. I mean look at the 17 vs 18 team. Why , how do we win 5 more games to reach 9 from 5. Sure, i get it, the schedule sea parted for us and we did luck out. More importantly, we saw that crack in the schedule door and busted it open and walked through. But still, how do we go from 4-8 to 9-3???? Its schedule, and the improvement of both lines sig. We hit and pass protected with the big boys all year... but after losing 2 record setting wrs and a stable of very good lbs and not coming close to replacing their production...well, its ED staying relatively healthy that is the answer. He is..as the killers would sing... THE MAN!
