if CG did not throw pick 6, If CG did not miss easy field goal, ... CG Wins easy. Both sides could If all day long. At the end of day Cathedral QB Had 126 yds passing and 2 yds rushing

He also didn't throw as many passes in the 4th qtr because they were protecting a lead and running the ball well with Jake Langdon. I just gave a better picture of the scores of those games, comp percentage, TD's and Int's. Shows a better picture of why he may have only thrown for 123 yds compared to some other QB's who were chucking it up because they were down 35.

Not sure why we are even having this conversation.  Was Steele defending those 17 passes McCahill threw?  Too many in-game variables (mentioned above) to try to use the transitive property.

I'd ask what Steele's stats were against Cathedral but it does not matter because McCahill wasn't playing defense.

This isn't an NFL promo where folks are tricked into tuning in for Brees vs Brady.  In fact it's Brees vs Brady's defense and vice versa.

Ding Ding winner winner chicken dinner. What did Carson Steel do against Indiana's #1 Defense CG? We'll never know because he never played for the mentioned teams.

But Mr. Football isn’t, or at least shouldn’t, come down to one game. McCahill’s overall body of work against the likely hardest schedule in the Midwest is better than Steele’s.

I’m still on record in saying that Steele wins the award.

Center grove coaching staff did nothing to help Steele out in the stat game.

cg total rushing plays 607 Steele 264 

Example: Steele Rushing: Att 4  yrds 46  avg 11.5 tds 3  Recieving: Att 1 yrds 41 tds 1

Second RB Daniel Weems Att 7 yrds 32 avg 4.6  tds 2

Why would second RB get more attempts than number one?

Because a great team isn't about stats, nor is the game of football. So if a coach see's a team loading the box with 8 players and you have the top RB in the state, do you run it or do you hit a quick pass. Likely that game what the defense was giving was running plays that were better for Daniel Weems because they were taking away the run plays that could go to Carson Steele. In jest it's not about getting a player stats its about winning the game and what plays can get you to that. As many yards as Nate McCahill had, a lot of it was reading what the defense was giving. Be is it on the Zone Read or Run pass option. McCahill had very little rush yards against Zionsville. Zionsville took that away placing focus on stopping him run. So in turn he handed to Langson who ripped off 136 yards rushing and they turned to the air more where McCahill passed for 300+.

I also must note that the QB is not always about passing stats, it's about leadership and no one led their team better than McCahill.  His coach even stated that Nate was almost like another assistant coach on the sidelines.  He had a lot of intangibles that don't show on a stat sheet.

Playing the other side of the coin, how many other RB's could you plug into Center Grove's system and they equaled or bettered Steele's rushing numbers?  Hell, you might not even have to go to another team.  Steele averaged 6.3 yards per carry this fall and Daniel Weems averaged 5.6.  Not really a significant drop off.

Sure.  Because defenses were all keying on Steele.  There's much more to it than stats.

No basing it off him being the best skill position player on the best team. 

"No basing it off him being the best SENIOR skill position player on the best team." 

Fixed it for you and think this should be considered.

Steele's QB has SIX offers from power 5 programs...

How many of those QB's were down by multiple scores in the 2nd half and needed to throw to play catch-up and abandon the run? Did McCahill have his best game against CG? Nope. Did he have a terrible game? Nope. It was 13-10 Cathedral with the lead with 1:19 in the 4th qtr. We all know what happened from there the Irish decided to go for it and selected a play Coach Peebles admitted he wish he would have picked a different play. How many teams had Center Grove on the ropes with 1:19 left in the 4th in an eventual 17-13 loss. McCahill did nothing to lose the game had no turnovers and played well enough for them to win.

By the way McCahill was 12 of 19 for 123 yds. 63 Comp % and 10.3 yds per play 1 TD 0 Int's.  

Love the McCahill kid. Great HS dual threat QB. I will say his stats are inflated due to their Jet Sweep being run as a "pass" in the statbook. Makes those TDs, yards passing, And completion % appear way better than reality.

Why shouldn’t it be? Steele is a fantastic player playing on the best/ most loaded team in the state. Put him on another team is he as dominant? I think that Fisher would be the same force regardless of where he is playing. 

He was on some of the least talented CG teams that they had in the last decade and was the best player since his freshman year.

This is ridiculous. Steele would be a force anywhere. When he was out last year with an injury the young Trojans struggled offensively. Then we he got healthy they got going. There is a reason no linemen win the Heisman or NFL MVP. Get a clue.

It’s an award for the best player. Not a popularity contest. If mr Steele was the best player in the state surely his collegiate offers would match that namesake.
