Isn't Druckenmiller in jail? Or wasn't he?

Coming out of HS I thought Kyle Wright would light it up both at Miami and the NFL. Boy was I wrong.

This one is still up in the air, but I just had a FEELING about Matt Barkley. Stupid, I know. USC QB's blow (hell, USC blows). But when he was coming out I just had this itch that he was going to REDEFINE the position.

So far, still wrong... I would say the fact that they brought in Sanchez means theres no chance.

Ryan Perrilloux
SPINOFF: I thought Cam Newton would be a bust like Jamarcus.

He's got 1 season left to prove he can stay healthy. He was actually very good at the start of last season before his hip injury.

After high school I'd have to go with Garrett Gilbert. Was the #1QB recruit and won at least two high school state championships. National championship game was very worrisome though with the 4 picks. But to be fair to him Mack Brown decided to completely change the offense after losing to Alabama and he worked much better out of the spread. I also thought Xavier Lee was going to be a beast.

In the NFL I'd go with Jamarcus immediately after college, but after 1 year Vince Young. I'm fairly confident he won rookie of the year and played incredibly great. Personal issues completely derailed him though. Jason Campbell is another one that comes to mind.

Matt Stafford. He's not a bad QB, but I thought that he was the second coming of Favre or Elway. I figured if he didn't become Jeff George, he'd be a Hall of Famer.

no not really.

he didn't make that comeback all by himself.

East Carolina's offense went into the tank.

its not like Leftwhich starred on defense for Marshall too.

Michael Vick.
Couldn't have been prepared for 3-4 years of his prime being taken away by his own idiocy or inept NFL coaching.

Just the craziest set of wheels and arm strength I've ever seen.

Thought he was sure fire HOF

why is Leinart getting so many votes? A lefty with limited arm strength and was pretty soft.

Hell, I thought more of sanchez coming out
