Vince young? Putting him with Jeff fisher’s offense is like having a national championship trophy QBing the Aggies. Vince did lose it mentally but things were hard for him here lining up in the I. He wasn’t as bad a passer as people remember and with the simpler ways OCs can call stuff VY might have succeeded. I believe he was better than Hurts

Not really any, unless you're referencing the very recent past.

Offenses are so much more technical now and the skills are so much more refined. It's like saying what 220 lb offensive lineman would be able to play in the NFL today.

Michael Vick came into the league 10 years too soon. Putting him under center and making him a pocket passer neutered his best skill. Had he come into the league in the 2010s when coaches were more open to running spread option stuff, he would have been so much better than he was.

Vick would have been a nightmare in a 2010-2014 Gus Malzahn offense.

Given the number of recent busts who were serviceable to very good with a new team, you have to wonder about any of the guys from the past.

Aaron Brooks might have put some some crazy stats in the right offense but probably would still have thrown a ton of interceptions. À la Jameis.
