I bring this up because Peasley really climbed the ladder for me this year. That final drive-opening laser he threw in Tucson before collapsing on the turf was pretty special, and really emblematic of the kind of style he's played for Wyoming the last two years. His week-to-week consistency was the biggest question mark, but when he showed up, he really willed the team to some important wins. I'd like to thank his wife for suffering through this season with us, worrying week after week about whether he would get back to the sideline (or home) under his own power. Thanks, Pease...
I still hold Josh Wallwork up as my favorite Cowboy QB. So efficient and tough, and of course surrounded by some real talent. And his independent personality and style resonated with me. I'll put Brett Smith second, but he could never be my favorite after his ill-advised early entry into the draft. Oh, what might have been..... On a side note, the play in Laramie way back when where Toledo bent Brett over backwards down the sidelines and knocked him out for a game has always stuck with me. From where I sat in Tucson Saturday, their defensive culture looks the same. Even on the play where Pease was helped off the field, the tackler had a forearm on his facemask. There are punishers and there are tacklers. I prefer tacklers, and so do neurologists.
