I don't know how people felt about Klatt, but I wasn't a big fan. I blame Watson partially, but I also just didn't think he was that great. I'd put Hessler and Aunese over him - I don't know of any old school QBs (the 71 team?).
Hagan...#3?
no thanks.
what's the point of having a list if they are in "no particular order"?
I considered many of the older QBs but none had the numbers to back it up for a top 5 list. That All Century team you refer to was compiled in 1989 by mostly fans. All of the quarterbacks since 1989 have torn it up in comparison. So due to the fact that they weren't on that list it's hard to know who would've remained with all of this other talent now. Yes, there were some great QBs back then, I just don't think they make the list.FWIW in 1989 CU did an all-century teams. The QBs were Bobby Anderson, Boyd Dowler and Gale Weidner. Hard to figure how they compare to QBs playing in modern schemes, but it does seem to me that Anderson has to make a top 5 list at some position...
All quarterback discussions begin and end with one name Darian Hagan.
- 1989 DH becomes the sixth player to pass and rush for over 1000 yards.
- Quarterbacked 3 straight Big 8 Championship teams.
- Top 20 in Heisman voting 1989-91 and finished 5th in '89
- 28-5-2 as a starter
- 20-0-1 vs. the Big 8. Read it again 20-0-1 vs the Big 8
- And of National Champion in 1990

Well, at least there was no Robert Hodge on there, so that's an improvement... :lol:
Hagan and Stewart are easy #1 and #2. I suspect there may be some guys out there in the pre-Mac years that belong, but I'd have to think about that...
Duke Tobin has been and always will be the best QB in the history of Earth.
Duke Tobin!
