Bucky had a throwing motion that makes Tebow look like Peyton Manning. Guy was a freaking stud running the option though and was a true leader on the field. The fact he was able to hang on as a QB in the NFL for 5 years when he easily had the worst arm in the league is both a slap and a complement to him. He made the most of what he had.

Bucky was a freaking God when I was in school and is still an A&M legend. I still have a 12th Man towel he signed for me. He was the definition of a LB playing QB, dude just loved to hit people. His attitude and play style were a perfect fit for our power run/Wrecking Crew D teams of that era. Injuries also hampered him. He also led 2 of my favorite all time A&M Bowl wins in the '88 Cotton Bowl over the Tim Brown led Notre Dame and the '90 Holiday Bowl blowout over Ty Detmer and BYU.

My old high school faced Bucky his senior year in the playoffs. My brother was our QB, I had graduated a couple years before.

He did everything for Broadmoor. I mean everything. Even did all the kicking duties. They won 19-7, but the game was a little closer than that.

True story. Broadmoor had a third and goal from the 5, and Bucky went "The Longest Yard" on a play that lasted over 20 seconds. Only, he lost 35 yards on the play, and they ended up punting.
