[@b00biejingles]

@@theunlikelysuccess Facts. First one that comes to mind is Cam...that 2015 Panthers team where he won MVP was crazy. I think most folks will point at the defense for getting them where they got but outside of Greg Olsen and Jonathan Stewart that offense was questionable on paper. Remember their best WR in Kelvin Benjamin was out for the entire season so for Cam to do what he did was a miracle in of itself.

[@theunlikelysuccess]

@@b00biejingles Cam was a unique QB, where to your point, the offense was built around him. His throws missed high a lot so they got tall WRs and leaned into his strengths, it's not too different from what I see Baltimore trying to do with Lamar. Take the advantage your QB is giving you that no one else has and lean into it, it's smart strategy. Cam's problem was once the hits piled up and he slipped past his prime, he was never going to be a backup. Too big of a star quality for that.

[@Hankaholic]

Brandford was set up for failure because the Rams were set up for failure. As soon as Kronke had a controlling stake he went work destroying that team so he could move them.

[@theunlikelysuccess]

@Hankaholic He was really promising early on, but to your point, they did not build correctly during his time with the team. Kronke moving them out of STL was/is a travesty, even if I am still a fan of the team, it's a damn shame.

[@torrencesmith1725]

The award was meant to go to the Best Player in college football. Not the most deserving, best offensive or defensive player, but the most dominant player in college. Most QB'S in college are and were great college players, and that's ok. It doesn't mean it'll translate into the pros. Systems and coaching plays a big role in that!

[@theunlikelysuccess]

@torrencesmith1725 The Heisman association uses the word outstanding. My issue with their selections lies within the fact that they are not truly picking the most outstanding, the most dominant, or the best. They are picking based on story, team, and then talent/performance. It's a timeless award and will continue to be a very important one.

[@DCoop-uo2wq]

It's not shocking that heisman quarterbacks don't translate to the nfl. Most of them are dual threat with more of an emphasis on running the football and if you can't truly throw the football you will not survive in the nfl

[@theunlikelysuccess]

@DCoop-uo2wq It's around a 50/50 split honestly from a dual threat perspective. I do think Heisman voters should make an effort to give it to the best player in football, they tend to pick the best player with a great story on a pretty good team.

[@bryandungee1029]

At this point you don’t blame the NFL staffs??? Quit trying to force guys that have been playing one way their entire lives to adjust to “nfl style” playing!! The O Coordinators are paid way too much not to build around some of these talents IMO!!! No way Eric Crouch doesn’t even get a shot with his electrifying style, he could have been another Vick but we’ll never know because the league refuses to adjust

[@DCoop-uo2wq]

@bryandungee1029 yeah no he was basically a running back lol, the year he won the heisman he threw 7 tds to 10 int. With like a 45% completion percentage which is horrendous. Tim tebow is one of the greatest college quarterbacks of all time and also one of the worst nfl quarterbacks of all time because he couldn't throw the football.

[@theunlikelysuccess]

@@bryandungee1029 Vick was a significantly better passer than Crouch. I thought Crouch could have had a solid career as a WR. I don't think he would have made it as a QB, and he probably wouldn't have been drafted as one. I will say that the smart Offensive coaches build around their personnel rather than force them to fit the system.

[@FoxxyBrown1111]

The problem is, all those shiny Heisman and/or "generational" QBs depend heavily on the talent around them + OL... Its the ultimative team sport... Unless you have, right there, right out of college, the arm of Favre, the release of Marino, the accuracy of Warner, or the experience of Brady at 35+, you are replaceable. It doesnt matter if getting picked first, last or not at all. 90% of the top QB prospects are more or less the same. It just didnt got to them NFL front offices/HCs yet. They took decades to understand RBs are over-valued, now it will take them decades until it dawns on them with QBs... Thats the reason you have tons of tons of busts... Having said all this, only one, just one QB stood out in the 2024 class (having the arm and natural talent + athleticism): Joe Milton. But them "scouts" messed it up once more, were more concerned about footwork (which can be teached), instead of seeing the potential (which is limitless, outstanding). Thats it. No more, no less.

[@WillMuny]

@@theunlikelysuccess What about unknown curses, at least to most? For instance the 1995 NFL Draft Curses to the Eagles, Jets, 49ers, and Vikings. Also known as the Sapp Curse or in case of the 49ers the Hurricanes Curse. Now the Eagles were eventually able to lift it and win a Super Bowl but not before the curse did some Major Damage to the franchise. Long story short, rumors were floating around Sapp failed multiple drug tests and even though they were lies, he fell. The Bucs picked at #7 were Sapp was but traded the pick to the Eagles for their #12 pick. This should have been another in the long line of curses the Bucs had suffered through, but fate would smile on them this day, for others they would not be so lucky. - The Eagles would draft Mike Mamula, a bust. The Bucs would eventually draft Sapp and use some of the picks they got from the Eagles to trade up with the Cowboys and draft Derrick Brooks. Those 2 would then lead the Bucs over the Eagles in the NFC Championship game, a game the Eagles thought they had in the Bag. The final game in the Vet was a crushing loss to a Sapp and Brooks lead Buccaneer team. They would also lose the first game in the Linc to the Sapp and Brooks lead Bucs in 2003. Sapp shut down the Vet and then Opened up the Linc. - The Jets would pick at #9 overall and Sapp fell to them. There is the Iconic Video of all the Jets Fan chanting "WE WANT SAPP!!!" only to hear the person they drafted was named Brady, The first Brady to haunt them, but certainly not the last. And in an ironic twist Brady and the Bucs would play the Jets in 2021 and issue them a devastating Defeat. While the Jets had many draft day curses, this one was the worst. To this day have not seen a Super Bowl since passing on Sapp - The Vikings would pick at #11. Sapp had fallen to them. The Current Defensive Coordinator was a guy named Tony Dungy. The Vikings would pick some DE instead. Allowing Sapp to fall to #12 and the Bucs. The next year Dungy would be the Bucs head coach and install a Generational and Legendary Defense that would see the Bucs win a Super Bowl, something the Vikings still has not done. To this day have not seen a Super Bowl since passing on Sapp. - Now the 49ers Hurricane Curse. The 49ers had just won the Super Bowl after the 1994 season, their last Super Bowl win. The Cleveland Browns, who would become the Baltimore Ravens the following year in 1996 held the #10 pick. The 49ers traded up with the Browns, sending a 1996 1st round pick in the deal. The 49ers would draft JJ Stokes. Passing on the Miami Hurricane Sapp. Sapp would go on to the Bucs where they faced the 49ers in the 1997 season opener. Sapp took out Young and Rice and ended the 49er Dynasty. They would also lose to the Bucs in the playoffs of the 2002 season and watch Sapp and the Bucs win a Super Bowl. They would also have to watch as the Bucs blew up the Chiefs to win their 2nd Super Bowl, something the 49ers cannot seem to do, beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. BUT it gets worse. That 1st round pick they traded? The Ravens would use that pick to select, from the Miami Hurricanes, Ray Lewis. The same Ray Lewis that would lead the Ravens over the 49ers in a Super Bowl. Since, in essence, trading Ray Lewis for the right to Pass on Sapp, the 49ers are 0-3 in Super Bowls. The Bucs and Ravens are both 2-0 in Super Bowls since this time.

@hoodiejelo6456 Technically the Browns was a second chance, that's fair, but he was injured in the first game and released after only 5 starts there. I see your point, but my view of a second chance would be real buy in by the team, which they probably had if it wasn't for his injury immediately. By the end of that year, the entire organization was revamped.

[@jfrancis2768]

In Terms of Eric Crouch I personally think they gave it to him because they didn't give one to Tommy Frazier, I'm from Nebraska, and loved both of them, I however do not think what they did in college ever would have worked in the NFL, that being said, im 100000% sure Frazier would have been a much better running back than Lawrence Phillips ended up being, and that's not just because of his on the field activities but, Tommy had alot of issues with Blood Clots vs Eric, still I think they gave it to Crouch because they should have given it to Frazier, look what that 95 team did to the Gators in the 96 national Championship, that being said, that was a hole team but Frazier was what 33 and 3, starting as a freshman, pretty amazing to me

[@theunlikelysuccess]

@jfrancis2768 Frazier should have gotten one. The Nebraska team of 95 is in the conversation for best college football team ever. From a major program standpoint, it's sad what has happened at Nebraska and how they are viewed today vs 20 years ago. Frazier was extremely talented, but to your point not an NFL QB. I think he could have been a pretty good RB also. Phillips career was a disaster even before the NFL, couldn't stay out of his own way.

Joe burrow is the most overrated great white hype ever.

Bryce Young is a bust.

The same thing can be said about recivevers. The best recivevers dont come from the top collegs. Jerry, TO, Tyreek, Moss....all went to either HBCU or non top 5 power conferences. Basically in short just because you're great in collge done mean you gonna Excell in the pros.....Tom Brady(7x Superbowl champ)199th......end of discussion

@tom97009 To be fair, Moss went to Notre Dame before he transferred, but I can think of some high level receivers from big schools also. Brady was drafted into a perfect situation but also turned himself into a 1 of 1.

Lamar? Cam? Kyler TBD…
