Comments about ‘4A state playoffs: Was Riley the better of the Logan Nelsons? D.J. may think so, but the numbers may not’

Riley is playing and D.J. won't be when he hits college. Enough said on this subject.

Your statement is so Ludacris! The kid puts up over 600 yards and you still hate on him. I guarantee you hated on Riley before he came in and beat USU. DJ will be a better QB than Chuckie...

What a lame article.

And both Nelsons always give most of the credit to their teammates, O line, receivers, etc. It would be fun to put their numbers up against each other side by side. Touchdowns in a season? Yards accounted for in a season? Riley had a loss to Alta his championship year. Riley won it in 3A. None of the comparison matters to the brothers, and none of it matters at all to any of us unless or until Logan takes care of East next week. Why all the hate from Stang08? Did someone from Logan do something to wrong him years ago? He should jump on the wagon. It's a fast and exciting ride, but you need to hold on tight. The brothers are awesome and I mostly love the support and cheers Riley gives his little brothers.

Hey DJ, BYU Would love you have you as their quarterback if you ever change your mind. What an incredible player.

I haven't had the opportunity to see DJ play, but I was able to try and stop Riley in the '05 Semi-Finals when Logan and Hurricane played. Riley was amazing and if DJ is as good if not better than Riley, that's pretty impressive. I hope he succeeds at the next level.

tiger06,

Classy comments. I watched Riley dismantle our Pine View boys the following week, and have nothing but respect for him and the rest of his family. I know them well and they are exemplary people.

Not sure what Stang08's deal is. So filled with negative. Not a healthy life choice.

I've never personally watched a better high school football player than Riley Nelson, but his little brother may be just as good. It's not just the athleticism, but the understanding of matchups and numbers and the ability to see it on the field and exploit whatever defense the other side puts up. Those kids not only watch film, they learn from it. Kudos to Favero for being smart enough to get out of the way and let them do their thing. Just incredible.

D.J. is having a great senior year with a fantastic performance in the playoffs, but at 5-9, 160 lbs., he's too small to play QB at any Top 75 calibre program.

@LonestarRunner
Flutie, Tarkington, and players like them have heard that before it just drives them to "outperform" the competition. It will also take a college coach, not afraid of athletic politics, to start him on the D1 level.

they are both quality Division II qb's.

Now that is a very Humble Quarterback! Very impressive, and even more impressive play by him. I predict another blow out for the Grizzlies!

Both Rileys play their hearts out and play without fear. A tremendous attitude goes a long ways.

I agree, he seems to be an outstanding athlete and a lot of fun to watch. but at 5' 9" 160, he will not be playing QB, maybe RB or DB. Unless he gets a lot bigger.

Hays and Wynne are both quality JC QB's.

Indeed they are jarka but one of those d2 qbs blew out your war kittens. Have fun watching your dominant team fight it out with the mighty idaho vandals lol
