JR didn't really settle down and get revered opening up the 1st overall till half way in the 06 season, when JR realized he could make plays with his legs no matter how awkward it looked.

Before then there were a LOT of Flynn support for starter from his Peach Bowl performances and doing good in mop up duty.

He very well may be. I can't think of a QB I've liked any more.

When he was chunking the ball at the endzone in Knoxville (2001), I was actually pretty confident that someone would catch it, we'd score, go for two, tie it, win it in ot.

I absolutely loved the guy. Other than his maiden voyage against Auburn (99 cigar game) where he absolutley stunk it up/booty came in, I really don't ever remember him having a truly crappy game.

I'm sure he did - but my memories of RD are all about his heart/will to win.

The melt down after this game was quite ridiculous. I remember a prominent caller on the radio asking if we should throw in the towel for the season.

Rohan replaced probably the 2nd most hated QB in the last 20 years, and he tore it up in the process. I don't know anyone who had complaints with him other than a few Evangel nut huggers.

Rohan is my favorite QB of the last 20 years. When he would go in to replace Booty, the team changed instantly. He had a demeanor that was focused on the team and not on Rohan. He was always such a kind, sweet soul when my friends and I would talk to him. You just had to love the guy.
