Boy was I wrong on that one. Flynn's got almost a third of JR's career TD passes today.

This is dumb. There is a huge difference between "was" and "is".

Jamarcus was still better in college.

This is true. I always questioned why Jamarcus started ahead of Flynn, in was nice in 06/07 to have Flynn. Its a shame his career was wasted otherwise.

Jamarcus was like a circus act, I remember he tripped constantly on the hash marks. Might have been an early reaction to cough medicine...I also remember his appearance at the 07 Natl Championship game in his pancho and Bama bling what a classless act of representing LSU.

the nfl separates talented passers from balanced qb's rather quickly. his performance against a bad notre dame team and subsequently being drafted #1 (+ $$$$$$) by the raiders was a worst case scenerio for a kid like Jamarcus.

Both were great QBs, 1 in college, and 1 in the NFL.

I've got some spreadsheets that show that JJ is better than Flynn...

Jamarcus had more potential than anyone who has ever played QB at LSU. Once he got all that money, he lacked the work ethic and drive to carry through. Flynn was always a gamer. I am very happy for him. I hope he gets a fat contract with a good team. I hope that his agent deals with a winning program.

He had a lot of things JR didn't.

It's an open question who the better QB would have been in 2007 had Russell stayed, but there is little doubt that Flynn was the better college QB when using average game performance as your metric.
