Also, the "What a silly decision" after a pick-off sounded as if the announcer wanted to drop an F-bomb (it was that bad) - as I have said, Mr. Todd was a Dick in name and performance.
Nah it's Jeff George for me. Dude was absolutely lights out throwing the football and had whole stretches where he looked like the second coming of Dan Marino - but he was a total head case. But he was so talented that he teased about four franchises by himself. He made A LOT of money. Ultimate QB tease.
Jeff is right at the top of my extended list alongside Scott Mitchell (definitely number one), Richard Todd, Tony Eason (he stunk up the joint in Super Bowl XX and was benched before halftime), Mark Malone and Rick Mirer.
I could not have been more wrong about Jeff George, when he came out of college, I thought he was going to be THE GUY in the NFL for years to come, a quarterback who could put up the stats of Dan Marino and have the winning pedigree of Joe Montana. George had all the god given talent an NFL quarterback could ever want, but he was completely uncoachable. Nobody could tell him what to do because he already had all the answers. Jeff George may be the biggest “what could have been” player in NFL history.
My favorite part of this list is right at the beginning for #10. Joe Benigno gets asked how he would describe a QB tease, and he immediately says Sanchez lol. Like, doesn't even wait or think to answer.
I would put Matt Cassel on this list. He was great when he replace Brady when he went down with ACL injury in 2008 and had a better year with the Chiefs in 2010 and he just fell off a cliff after that.
Boy that was a dark time as a chiefs fan. 2010 season dude was serviceable and Him.and Bowe were solid but then that 2011 and 2012 season was just dreadful as fuck ..
@@raycasta10 nah. Sanchez was more of "the guy" than Cassel was, plus made back to back conference championship games in his first 2 seasons. He was legit looked at as the skies the limit and he just fell of the cliff. I'd say he was a bigger tease than cassel.
I'm assuming they put Sanchez #10 because of the fact he still had potential for a comeback at the time. He is ABSOLUTELY the first guy that comes to my mind for this category. Also if I ran this list I would have a spot go to "Every Single Chicago Bears Quarterback" but that's just me.
@@walker1984 I don't know. I never viewed Mariota as more then a milquetoast passer in Tenn and the same in Atlanta. Every team he's on feels like it needs to hide him with a run game, and you're often waiting for him to take another hit that costs him time on the field. Winston feels like the classic strong armed passer you fall in love with measurable wise who more often then not points the gun at himself. When you bring a guy like Arians in to "fix" a QB who has a track record of Big Ben, Carson Palmer, Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck of QB's he's worked with and he produces that type of eye popping statistical statline TD/INT/Passing Yards that's pretty wild. A horse who can't be broken in.
Being a Bears fan, Jay Cutler was always going to be a tease. Close to breaking out, but never really put it all together because of injuries and inconsistencies.
My extended list of QB teases has an entry for all Bears starting QBs since Sid Luckman (retired in 1950), excluding Billy Wade (1963 Championship winning QB) and Jim McMahon (1985 Super Bowl winning QB).
It's kind of creepy how similar they are to each other. Both ideal QBs on paper with cannon arms, but both major league headcases who don't know how to lead teams and who have barely any playoff games to their credit. I think both of them have only one playoff win each to their credit. George wrecked more teams than Cutler did, however.
My ultimate qb tease was Clint stoerner in 2001 vs the giants. He was the 4th qb to start for the cowboys that year and starts out 8-9 for 119 yards and 1 td leading them to 17-0 lead before I go to church. I come home and he threw 4 picks and handed the game back to the giants (27-24) before getting benched for Ryan leaf. Yikes.
Could still make the argument, but would have to bend the rules a bit foles won a SB, yet he didnt start all 16 games but his playoff run was one of the best ever for a QB. He showed flashes of being a Franchise QB jags took a chance on him and you know how that went now hes on the bears we'll see how that goes
So weird how that one guys said Vince Young paved the way for qbs like RGIII and Colin Kaepernick: Both of whom I would consider bigger teases than vince young
Culpepper was a guy that preceded Vince Young, a big strong QB (Culpepper was 6’4, 260 lbs) who was a dangerous threat on the ground too. And he could be considered a tease too. The knee Injuries messed him up.
@@cityhawk nah he nearly won MVP in ‘04 when Moss was hurt most of the year…put some respect on Culpepper he was making other shitty ass WRs besides Moss look really good in MIN
@@cityhawk Fun Fact: The Dolphins had an opportunity to get Drew Brees but were fearful of his shoulder problems so they opted instead for Culpepper. I'm not sure if Miami regrets that shortsightedness.
I have an interesting one for honorable mention: Jeff Blake. Riffle for an arm, and at times, gave the Bengals and Saints hope. However, for whatever reason, didn’t have a better career for the ability he had. I liked him a lot and expected more from him.
TAFARockWarrior97 have you seen his win total though? Not to mention he played great for a while, but when he faced Green Bay, he became an interception Magnet. Sometimes he threw it right to the defender where he was wide open. That and his albatross contract extension killed it for me.
The biggest tease is the journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick every team he's ever went to you just knew at some point he'd manage to start and when he did he ALWAYS started off as hot as a QB can be and then eventually by about 4-5 week's in he'd implode and throw 4 picks and get benched. The FitzMagic is very real
Fitzpatrick is a cross between Norm Snead - a good-not-great QB on some bad teams - and Brett Favre, who was the ultimate gunslinger. Favre's cojones but only Snead-level talent. Not a tease. He's better than that, as was Snead.
Fitzpatrick had too much magic for too long. He’s beyond a tease. He’s too exciting. The face mask pass was too brilliant. Fitzpatrick was kind of his own thing.
The fact that Joe burrow won the bengals not one, not two, but 3 playoff games in one postseason and leading them to the Super Bowl, it has aged this list perfectly with dalton being on here 😂
Andy Dalton was an ok player, but shouldn’t have been looked at as a franchise quarterback. He didn’t play well in most of their playoff games, but was solid outside of that, certainly not terrible. Burrow on the other hand is very good and from what I can tell deserving of the label of a franchise quarterback.
I dunno. He's more of a "just good enough" than tease. At his best he could win enough games to make the playoffs, but always seemed to lose once he got there. Also, lost the games on primetime.
@@dbotton1045I looked it up, Technically Andy Dalton has the lowest passer rating of anyone who threw 25 pass attempts in a game since 2004 (2.0). But he can’t hold the record for lowest passer rating in a game because he never had a zero passer rating in a game. I stand by what I typed. Decent player overall, but not a franchise quarterback.
carson wentz is probably #1 for me. in 2017, in only his second season, he probably would have won mvp if he didn’t get hurt, and despite a couple decent seasons he just never put it together again and is a journeyman stopgap starter now. its very rare and strange for someone to be that great, that young, and not go on to have a storied career.
Jeff George, quarterback All big ten quarterback for the 1989 Illinois Fighting Illini Number one overall pick by The Indianapolis Colts in 1990 Also played quarterback in the 1990s & early 2000s for the Atlanta Falcons Oakland Raiders Minnesota Vikings Washington Redskins Seattle Seahawks Chicago Bears 🐻 in his 13 year NFL career (1990-2003) Only three playoff appearances (1-2 record) 1995 Falcons 1999 Vikings
Kordell Stewart was a QB tease 3rd round draft pick by the Steelers in 1996 Led the team to a conference championship game in 1997 & 2001 But he had 3 intercepted passes vs Denver in the AFC championship game (97) He was intercepted by Patriots defensive back Lawyer Milloy in the final seconds of the 2001 AFC championship game 77 touchdown passes and 81 intercepted passes in 10 NFL seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers Chicago Bears & Baltimore Ravens (1995-2004)
I don't think anyone looked at Stewart as any kind of long term QB. He was basically Taysom Hill. If used right he could have been downright dangerous.
I remember someone saying on an NFL pre-game show that Jeff George was so combative w/the Raiders the players threatened to throw him off the plane at 30,000 feet. Still I always liked watching George play-cannon arm.
"You pay all your money, you invest all your time, the girl dances for you, you go home broke and frustrated" - that sums up a quarterback tease pretty nicely (though I would add that the beer was terrible).
He was drafted to a team loaded with talent, routinely did little to nothing after mid November, and played like crap in playoff game after playoff game
As a Cardinal fan, the biggest QB tease for me was Timm Rosenbach. He was one of a few scrambling QB's of the era and in his one and only full season, he was Jake Plummer before Jake Plummer ever was. While he didn't have a spectacular 1990 season, he had a respectable 3,100 passing yards, 15 TD's and 17 INT's behind a porous offensive line(he was sacked 43 times) but he also rushed for almost 500 yards. His future was bright. Then in the pre-season of 1991 he blew out his knee and it totally destroyed his psyche and he was never the same. He was out of football by 1994. We had to wait 3 more years before we drafted Plummer.
@Fries they were improving. They won their first 2 games and were 3-2 after 5 weeks and this was with Tom Tupa at QB. I'm not saying they were a contender buy more than likely by 1993 they would have been a division contender overtaking Washington and being up there with the Giants and Cowboys. But losing Rosenbach began the futile project of finding his replacement and names like Stan Gelbaugh, Chris Chandler, Tony Sacca, and Steve Beuerlein weren't going to get it done.
@Fries oh, just to add I don't disagree on the NFC East of the time but I believe it could have been a 5 team race had Rosenbach stayed healthy not to mention that the Eagles were on their way down as was Washington. Dallas last hurrah came a couple of seasons later.
The Matt Robinson story in itself is a fascinating slice of Jets history. He went 6-5 in 1978 and Walt Michaels named him starter for 1979. But before the first Gabe he broke his thumb in a roughhousing incident and lied to the coaches about it. They taped it up and when it looked like the Jets would beat the Browns he takes the tape off. But the Browns tied it and in overtime his thumb swelled in pain and he threw a second pick. Walt Michaels (Who was deranged to start with) benched him then traded him to Denver.
He was pronounced to being the designated starter for the Denver Broncos and played pretty well at times but he didn't fulfill expectations in Denver. He wasn't quite as good as the publicity he generated. But he was a good football player.
In my opinion, not only do the NFL Network people struggle to understand what a "tease" is, but the commenters here on YT do as well, all due respect. A "tease" typically refers to a girl who makes you feel like you're getting some, then completely backs off. So, a "QB tease" would be a QB who shows flashes of greatness but never reaches full potential. People seem to confuse "hype" with being a "tease." A QB who is supposed to be great but never pans out is like one of your boys saying a chick will get with you but when you meet her, shes just ice cold. Is that her fault? No. Its your boys fault. To be her fault she has to lead you on AFTER your boy set it up. Same for a QB. Its not their fault if they are hyped but never pan out, they have to show flashes to be a "tease." That being said...I do think that guys who were NEVER even supposed to be good, yet show flashes at times, can not really be considered a "tease." That's like a girl who is just naturally flirty, but never gives overt signals. Those QBs are nothing more than overachievers. Jarmarcus Russell a tease? He NEVER showed flashes, he was always bad, just hyped. Ryan Fitzpatrick a tease? He was NEVER expected to be a franchise guy, just good at times in spot duty. To be a TRUE QB tease you have to be touted/expected to be a franchise QB AND show flashes, period...
Drew Lock belongs on this list. He looked promising at the end of 2019, but was exposed the next year (even though some Denver fans still support him). Also, Mark Malone is a good candidate. In 1984, right after Bradshaw's retirement, Malone led the Steelers to the AFC Title Game. The next year, he opened the season with five TD passes against the Colts. After that, he really didn't do anything the rest of his career. Also, George had a decent career, but starting out close to home didn't work. His mother spoiled him. The Colts went 9-7 in 1992 in spite of him, and should have traded him a year earlier.
Yes, Mark Malone is on my extended list - that 1985 game had Steelers fans convinced he was Bradshaw 2.0. Two other teases from the 1980s are Tony Eason (got the long-struggling Patriots to Super Bowl XX, where he stunk out the place and was benched before halftime - some career highlight that is) and Todd Blackledge (the Chiefs passed on Dan Marino for this bozo? Also, Bill Kenney, who they drafted in the 12th round - which no longer exists - was better). Also, Ken O'Brien was solid on a mediocre Jets team (his games against Marino were top-shelf).
@@MRB16th Ken O'Brien is basically the "meh" QB of the 1983 class. You have 3 HOFers (Marino, Elway, Kelly), 2 disappointments (Eason, Blackenledge) and then O'Brien, who was just okay. He was the Jets starter for most of a decade, made a couple Pro Bowls, made the playoffs a couple times, but never really did anything of note. Good enough to play as a starter in the NFL for a while, but not good enough to make any impact.
Drew Lock is a great pick. People forget just how good his few starts at the end of 2019 were, people really thought they were playoff contenders going into 2020 and instead it ended up cementing him as a career backup
In Richard Todd's defense, that field in Miami was a quagmire that day. I remember watching that game and the Jets receivers like Wesley Walker and Mickey Shuler couldn't get their footing on that awful turf and Freeman McNeil do a thing on the ground that game either.
As much as it breaks my heart to say it, as a die-hard Steelers fanatic growing up, I'd choose Kordell Stewart. He had a great career, but he could never get us beyond the AFC Championship. It legitimately hurts to admit this.
In all fairness, my memory is fuzzy since I was very young at the time but I think Joey Porter could've ended the game in 2001, wasn't on the shoulders of Kordell completely. I do wonder how we would've fared against Kurt Warner that year, not sure if we'd have played them better though the Pats were massive underdogs in that Super Bowl
If this list was updated, I feel like Carson Wentz would be a great candidate. Sometimes he teases you in one game. As a Colts fan, he would look so good for stretches of a game and his numbers would always look really solid on paper (he had 27 TD to 7 INT that one season); yet, the few mistakes he would make would be the single most mind boggling decisions you will ever see. To go on top of this, the man had a truly great year in 2017: Leading MVP Finalist before injury, 33 TD in 13 games, voted the 3rd best player in the NFL on the “Players List.” But since that season you only see enough flashes to keep him on your team hoping he will replicate the same success, but it just hasn’t happened and likely won’t happen at the time of writing this.
Vince Young won an NCAA championship with the university of Texas Longhorns 1st round draft pick by The Tennessee Titans in 2006 2006/07 NFL’s ROTY Also played quarterback with the Eagles 🦅 in 2010 and he’s been out of the game since 2012
His counterpart in 2006, Matt Leinart had nearly an identical career. Incidentally they faced each other in 2009 with Young edging out Leinart on a walk off TD 20-17.
Here's my 2nd list that I'd add on to my previous list: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brock Osweiler, Trent Green, Damon Huard, Trevor Siemian, David Carr, Joey Harrington, Chris Redman, Kirk Cousins, and Jon Kitna
Matt Cassel is a Quarterback tease for me. He had three good seasons and then injuries absolutely derailed him and he never could get back to that Pro Bowl form he flashed back in 2010. Another big Quarterback tease is Chad Pennington. Pennington had the arm and looked to be the next big thing for the Jets but constant rotator cuff tears on his throwing arm robbed him from being the QB he was projected to be.
Oh and as an addendum, another big time QB tease was Quincy Carter of the Dallas Cowboys. That kid was always pointed out as the heir apparent to Troy Aikman and while he occasionally showed some talent, he ultimately was nothing but a big giant tease.
That is a rather tortured fanbase: of course, when your team's last Championship at the time came in 1960, and most of their fans are telling their parents to quit bellyaching about it, you would be taking anything at this point.
To me, a really bad quarterback tease almost has a Jeff Fisher effect. He does just well enough to not get fired, but you know you aren't going to win more than one playoff game in maybe 5 years. Added points if you pass on quarterbacks in the draft to get lineman and receivers that don't end up increasing his productivity.
Falcons traded Colts that pick for Andre Rison. Later, George got traded to Falcons for a lesser pick. When the Falcons outdo you and it's pre-Dan Reeves, your front office sucks.
Honestly I would’ve left Bobby Hoying off this list as I honestly don’t think he was good enough to be considered a “tease”, and replaced him with Kelly Holcomb. In 2002, Tim Couch gets hurt at the end of the season and Holcomb comes in for the last 4 games, helping them win 3 and clinching the Browns their first playoff birth since 1994. In the Wildcard round vs Pittsburgh, Holcomb throws over 400 yards and 3 touchdowns against a solid Steelers defense in what was one of my favorite football games of all time (in my opinion that was the most exciting day in playoff history because the Trey Junkin 49ers/Giants game happened immediately following Browns/Steelers) and I thought to myself that Cleveland may have their franchise quarterback in Kelly Holcomb. But then the following season the wheels completely fell off. Derek Anderson would also make a good candidate for this list.
2:43 Mark Sanchez. 7:29 Vince Ferragamo. 10:51 Bobby Hoying. 15:25 Andy Dalton*. 17:57 Tim Tebow. 22:28 Richard Todd. 25:59 Jeff George. 30:58 Vince Young. 35:14 Elvis Grbac. 40:29 Scott Mitchell. *= Andy Dalton is still active in the NFL today.
Rick Mirer - ROY and kept the “Montana-esque” tag for a little while .... before NFL journeyman oblivion suddenly came. Kordell Stewart went from QBOTF to the top of PITTs “need to replace” list pretty quickly. Drew Bledsoe - For about a 3 year stretch of NFL Films videos ( prob 3 of their most active releasing years too ) Bledsoe is prominently featured as if he’s already secured a spot as an all time great. A lot of montages that look like this: Marino , Elway , Bledsoe , Young , & Aikman .... ( also in the occasion 1 year stretch of NFL films vids it also includes MIRER in that QB montage ) Jay Cutler - Both the Broncos and the Bears thought they had a golden armed HOFer for a short while. Vince Young - you know .... RG3 - again you know .... Daunte Culpepper - a few years of being on pace to rewrite the NFL QB Record books and then ( due largely to injury ) no bueno any more. Andrew Luck - retired suddenly 40% into his Peyton Manning type career ... only played a couple of years longer than PM despite a much later start. Luck might actually be the most painful variety of tease possible. Derek Anderson 2007 Browns version - A 2nd year QB ( youthful hope ) takes the Browns to a 10-5 record as a starter & makes the Pro Bowl after throwing for 3800 yds 29 tds vs 19 ints. Didn’t “Joe Cleveland Fan” think that their luck had finally changed for the better? It went bad so quickly. Josh Freeman - Also in his 2nd year leads Bucs to 10-6 record. 3500 yards 25 TDS vs only 6 INTs & 5 4th Quarter “come from behind” victories ... also add into that just short of 400 yards rushing , so also mobile too. Pretty soon however the BUCS were back in the draft looking for a new “tease” QB in Jameis Winston. Brian Griese - prob for a Broncos fan only , but in the 2000 NFL season for us it seemed like Griese was gonna be pretty awesome. Baker Mayfield - I hope not , but it’s a possibility the way things are looking. Carson Palmer (Bengals version only) Very Rosy future - Playoff Injury on a dirty play - next thing I know he’s demanding to be traded while dangling retirement papers as an alternative. Rex Grossman - This is a “Maybe” as IDK if the Bears “Faithful” thought he could be “the guy” for awhile? Kyle Boller - Same thinking as with Grossman. I wasn’t surprised by his “quick exit” as a Bronco fan , but did B-More fans fall in love with his carnival arm & 1st round pedigree? I’m not sure.
@Fries When you get drafted number 1 overall like Winston was, there are some pretty huge expectations. I remember people talking up Jameis like he was the second coming when he went #1 overall to the Bucs and how he and Mariota were going to change the position of QB. And Winston teases that he has his shit together under center constantly. He also makes many boneheaded errors that make you go "what the hell?" way too many times.
two things: 1. Rex Grossman ain't a tease. He never had the talent to be a tease. Maybe had a good arm but that's it. Horrible decision maker and really was the reason that great 2000's Bears defense never won a ring. If Kyle Orton had been playing in the '06 SB, I think it would've been enough QB talent to change the outcome of the game...especially having been spotted a touchdown early... 2. Did Luck play longer in Indy than Peyton? Is that what you were implying? Because I don't think he did. Peyton played in Indy at least a decade and luck, being drafted in 2012 didn't make it to 2020.
Rick Mirer over Drew Bledsoe is the Pacific Northwest version of the Steelers organization not picking up Dan Marino. The greatest magic trick, and most underrated trade, in NFL history might be the flip Seattle did to get the 11th pick from Chicago (Shawn Springs 13 years ended up being a 1 time pro bowler) while giving up an absolute bust and a 4th rounder. The reports/whispers in that Chicago organization I've read in the past said they wanted Tony Gonzalez to pair with a guy like Kramer iirc at QB.
"guys like RGIII, guys like Colin Kaepernick" welp, this didn't age well lol my vote is definitely for Jeff George, one of these historic absolute cannon arms that went nowhere
Daunte culpepper 11th overall draft pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 1999 Led Minnesota to a conference championship game in his second year in the League (2000/2001 season) but lost to the giants 41-0 His numbers plummeted once he bounced around from team to team (lions Dolphins and Raiders)
The injuries really messed him up. It obviously didn’t help that he no longer had the same receiving core led by Randy, but he tore his ACL, MCL, and PCL at once. He was a huge QB. Bigger than most linebackers
@@maniacmasturbator2411 I remember he threw touchdown passes in the end zone to guys like Cris Carter in 2000 and More lesser known players like Marcus Robinson Nate Burleson & Kelly Campbell in 2004 I thought that Culpepper would be on his way to Canton but as you said the thing that stunted his growth were his knee injuries which he sustained
It's kind of amazing look at the divide between Culpepper's stats before 2004 (his best year) and after. They just fall off a cliff. That injury he suffered in 2005 really wrecked his career.
Can we call Nick Foles a tease dispite the super bowl win? What's amazing is every time he's stepped up from the backup spot he play amazingly but as soon as he gets upgraded to starter the magic gets sapped out of him.
A Super Bowl win disqualifies any candidate for tease status. Also, Foles led the Eagles to their first Championship since 1960, thus sparing the children and grandchildren of the Eagles faithful from years of future bellyaching about their last Championship.
Foles on any team other than the Eagles was definitely a tease. People were expecting Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles, but what you got is a mixed bag that wouldn't lead you anywhere.
As a Ravens fan, I say RG3 is a quarterback tease to me. Cause he had a good rookie season with the Washington Commanders, Took their Commands to the playoffs, got a Pro Bowl selection the same year, but everything went downhill since suffering a leg injury against Seattle.
Todd had two solid seasons in 1981 and 1982, but not much else of note. Unlike Mark Sanchez though, his passer rating was in the top quartile of the league in 82.
Tim tebow got put out of the NFL for the simple reason that he refused to switch to his proper position. Tim tebow would have been a borderline Hall of Fame running back. He never had the humility he claimed, or he would have switched over to running back and had a long and very lucrative career. He has only himself to blame for how things ended. I know for sure that if I could run with the power and athleticism of Tim tebow, and if I had his mind for football, I would have switched instantly to running back to stay in the game.
@Harry Engel Marino had a better release, but George wasn't far behind and his spirals and accuracy were better than Marino. A lot more goes into a QB than an arm though.
Drew Bledsoe Number one overall draft pick by the New England Patriots out of Washington state -benefitted with a good coach in Parcells and a good defense with guys like HOF cornerback Ty law & pro bowl safety lawyer Milloy & pro bowl linebacker Willie McGinest He choked when the lights shined brights when his team needed him most in crunch time -threw 3 picks in a 1995 playoff loss against Cleveland -choked in SBXXXI against the Packers -got outplayed by Kordell Stewart in a 1998 playoff game between the Steelers & Patriots (lowest scoring game in playoff history; Steelers-7 Patriots-6) -finished the 2000/01 season with a 5-11 record -did absolutely nothing in Buffalo 🦬 with back to back 8-8 records and no playoff appearances
There have actually been a couple of playoff games that had even fewer points than that 7-6 game. Most notably the 5-0 game between Dallas and Detroit in 1970.
Because he refused to refine his mechanics ... the way he'd sometimes hold the ball to his side like an Old West gunslinger mixed with a Bob Dole shoulder slump. He could have been a reliably GOOD QB for far longer. It didn't help that he seemed to find (as opposed to avoid) sacks at inopportune times.
How can you leave out Marc Wilson? Every year he would barbeque at least one top defense, and then get trashed the next week by a mediocre defense. Two time Super Bowl winning head coach Tom Flores lost his job because he kept patiently expecting Wilson to develop consistency.
@Harry Engel Tom Flores definitely gave the impression that he expected Wilson to develop into a standout, especially when he would string together two or three strong performances. Every time it looked like Wilson was going to put his game together, however, he then then fell with a crashing thud!
@Harry Engel Hard to say. I lived in the LA area in the 1980s and was a Wilson supporter. Other fans warned me that I (like Flores) was falling for "fool's gold" every time Wilson had a good game. Most fans probably saw through Wilson by 1985.
Why was Andy Dalton on this list? Dude was a pro-bowl player year in and year out…he was consistent…what did he tease? He was just Andy Dalton, he was just who he was, which was a good, solid quarterback. Why in these Top 10s did the NFL insist on intentionally creating controversy just so we can complain about it? Why not just create a good, meaningful list?
As a jets fan I could write a huge paragraph about the Sanchez downfall but it would bring up some hurt feelings, so all ill say is not keeping the running game as the focal point of the offensive attack destroyed Sanchez.
Johnny manziel, Sam Bradford, Mike Vick, Jay cutler, Vince Young, Kerry Collins, Joey Harrington, Alex Smith, Matt Cassell, brock osweiler, Carson Wentz, RG3, AND ON AND ON AND ON
@Harry Engel Gary Hogeboom had a huge 2nd half replacing the injured Danny White in the 1982 NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME throwing two 3rd quarter TD Passes before throwing 2 4th quarter INTS including one returned for a WASHINGTON REDSKINS TD in a REDSKINS 31-17 victory over the DALLAS COWBOYS which was the beginning of the Hogeboom tease
I see a lot of comments saying that Tebow was never a good quarterback in the NFL which he certainly wasn't a good one. However, I think more of the hate for him comes from people who don't like him as a person which blows my mind. Even if you don't agree with his religious preference, Tebow is an incredible role model, one of the greatest college qbs of all time, and married a super model while doing great work for special needs children and human trafficking's organizations. Sounds like people are just jealous a good guy got it all tbh. Tebow played well at times and showed flashes of brilliance in the 4th quarter which is why he is definitely a QB tease.
By flashes of brilliance, you mean the three times he managed to throw an accurate spiral? Tebow was a garbage quarterback. He gets shit on because when the sports media would finally take a break from shoving him in our face, he'd use the opportunity to shove his almost hilariously over-the-top choir boy faith in our faces instead. But I don't care if a quarterback worships a goldfish as long as they can sling the football. He just wasn't good enough to be a pro. I don't know if all these people clutching pearls and coming to his defense actually think he was a legit quarterback, or if they consider us saying he's awful a test of their faith, but it's kind of ridiculous. I'm sure he's a great guy and does great things. Pro football wasn't, nor was it ever going to be one of those things. 2023, and apparently, this is still a thing.
