Ron Powlus, Jimmy Clausen, and I may get in trouble but i think Brodie Croyle was overhyped.

Maybe it's because I'm getting softer in old age, but I feel bad for Arch.

Not bad for TX, mind you, just bad for him.

I haven’t watched but these are off the Top of my head.

Mitch Mustain
Ryan Perriloux
Shea Patterson
Rhett Bomar
Brock Berlin
Gunner Kiel
Rick Mirer

I see Croyle’s name above and I don’t really disagree if you factor in injuries.

He had a cannon for an arm but was really inaccurate with little touch.

 

[CrimsonTheory]

Drew Henson.

 

[Padreruf]

Pat Sullivan
Steve Spurrier

 

[Joefus]

dj uiagalelei hands down. He wrecked 3 different programs. Truly a disaster

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

Todd Marinovich

This! Poor guy!

 

[UAH]

Pat Sullivan
Steve Spurrier

Why? The fact that Sullivan didn't survive the player bone yard created by Norm Van Brocklin in Atlanta perhaps one of the worst coaches in NFL history!

Spurrier couldn't displace John Brodie with the 49'ers and may not have been a great NFL QB but the Ole Ball Coach had a pretty good career in coaching.

I saw Sullivan throw the football and admit to hold him in a somewhat legendary status. He was one heck of a good human being also.

Interesting that you chose two Heisman Trophy winners.

Brady Quinn
Jason White
Ryan Leaf
Jamarcus Russell (simply because of a lack of work ethic)
Josh Rosen

 

[Cruiser]

Blake Barnett

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

Some recent ones would be

Quinn Ewers. He was an okay college QB but was hyped as much much more.

Nico was one of the first big NIL deals and was mid at Tennessee and has been bad at UCLA outside of one game.

Jackson Arnold was supposed to help OU without Caleb Williams

 

[TDBama78]

Last year's qb, you know the one, the Heisman candidate.

 

[Rocky Mtn Bob]

All I can say is I'm really enjoying the comments. Y'all can be brutal!

(And I mean that in the nicest way.)

As of 5 days ago he was still doing his thing:

Alabama? Hmm, Tyler Watts. he was solid, but coming in he was the next great thing.

Linnie Patrick. Ok, not a QB, and played well, but his billing was larger than life.

Ron Powlus, Jimmy Clausen, and I may get in trouble but i think Brodie Croyle was overhyped.

Didn’t Beano Cook comment that Powlus would win 4 Heisman trophys?

Yep.
