[untStein]

Bill Brasky wasn't listed.

[SHOSS]

Wasn't Andrew Smith the deliver-er of a bowl victory over cincy? I vote him...or if it wasn't him, that QB...

BTW, cincy could have beaten Ohio State if they could have just tackled craig krenzel at the 5 yard line on a 4th down play early in the season... they won the nat championship that year in 3 OT's against miami...

[greenjoe]

You left the NT quaterback with the best name off the list. Rick Shaw. If he had been a Heisman nominee the catch phrases would have been endless.

But my favorite is/was Scott Davis

[unt88]

Also left off the list was he great Jason Attaway...

[UNT Mean Green]

Maher, Andrew Smith, and Scott Hall were all very good QB's in recent time at NT.

[RamoneArchie]

Most of you guys probably never even heard of this guy, but Melvin Daniels was a special talent at QB. He played football in Florida and was undefeated as a starter from high school through Junior College (Nassau). He went through Spring Drills in 1997, but failed to pass a class during that semester and failed out before he got a chance to play. He was the starter coming out of Spring ball. If he ever had the chance to play, he would have been great!

[Green Lantern]

With the exception of leaving off Matt Phillips...all of Cooley's list were recruited as QBs and originally given a shot to compete there...the others metntioned, Washington, Stubblefield ect were recruited either as athletes or recievers and DBs

And my vote goes to Hiram Gonzales for throwing a TD at Amon Carter

Our lone offensive highlight that day (minus the touchdown early in the game called back cause of holding).

[Dodge2007]

You have to look at the intangibles (along with talent and stats) when thinking of the best ever. I'll take a winner who lays himself out there on the field, than a kid who can run or pass it for stats.

[Mean Green 93-98]

The best I ever saw don the green was Mitch Maher.

[GoMeanGreen1999]

The best I ever saw don the green was Mitch Maher.

I will second that. I watched many of the older guys in the 80's, but I was a kid and don't remember much. You left Tom Nelson's name off that list.

[foutsrouts]

How about Bron Beal? Heard he was selling boats somewhere.

Stories like that drive me crazy!! I can name off about a dozen similar cases without even thinking about it....all that talent and the kids don't want to put in the effort on their studies or get involved with the wrong crowds. A friend of my brothers was all-district, all-state and Texas Top 100 a few years ago. He signed with A&M and was starting his Sophomore year. He got involved with the wrong crowd and eventually got in enough trouble that he was kicked off the team. Now he's working at Pizza Inn trying to support his girlfriend and baby.

Holy crap, talk about your major turning points in life. They call them "scholarships" for a reason. That means you have to be a scholar, you don't have to be a 4.0 scholar, but just enough of one to keep the coaches and admin happy. If they wanted you to jack around and have your school paid for, they'd call it a "jack-around-and-fail-school-for-free-ship."

I'm glad that our players understand that these scholarships are worth more than the dollar amount per semester that they cover. It's opportunities that some people have to pay hard for, or in some cases, never have.

Also:

I forgot about Hiram Gonzales. Didn't he get a few drives during a senior game a few years back?

[Eagle91Gator95]

I don't know about the all-time QB list, but he sure ranks up there on the all-time punt shanker list!

(Oh, and Bron, if you're out there, )

[meangreendork]

And in the related list, on FGs, hailing from the NFL...Mike "Vandershank" Vanderjagt.

[NCMeanGreen]

I thought Scott Bakula looked pretty good playing at Fouts!

[eppy4life]

Give me Scott Hall anyday. BTW, I saw him at the SMU game. He says he gets on here and checks things out sometimes.
