Matt Flynn? I don't know how many games he started while in GB.

Anyway, who cares. I'm a Dolphins fan, so we're pretty much banking on your boy. If he brings them a championship, I'll gladly capitulate this debate.

Russell for sure, Flynn maybe, Hodson started a couple games, I know Rohan played but not sure on starting except NFL Europe (MVP I think)


we were a 90's wasteland so that's 10 years of nothing

I was just responded to the poster who implied Bucky had a terrible NFL career. Five years in the NFL, for a QB, is not bad. Not many QBs can do that, because teams only need two or three of them.

Bucky played in the NFL 5 years.






He only threw a pass in two seasons. He got his chance with the Oilers when they essentially tanked. He was terrible. And that was it.

Dude, you are a moron. About 90 guys make an NFL roster each year as a QB. Some of those guys stick around 10 years, 15 years, or even longer. Many make it two or three years. Each year, the draft produces about 6 to 10 QBs who manage to make a roster five years or longer. That's it. Around 8 college QBs each year are good enough to do what Bucky did.

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.
