If just for one game.....

Jarrett Lee 1/9/12

How he didn't sniff the field that night is still beyond me.

Can't believe the biggest one hasn't been mentioned yet.

Tom Brady (GOAT QB) behind Drew Henson at Michigan

Matt Cassel backed up two Heisman winners


Yep. Not an injustice, but a trajedy for Cassel.
It's not like the SC coaches were making a mistake sitting him the whole time.

Jake Coker at Alabama had a similar experience in college. Backed up 3 first round drafted QBs at FSU before grad transferring to Bama, sitting a year and winning a NC.

DW looked like the proverbial deer in the headlights that year vs. FSU.

^^^There's your injustice^^^.

Sitting behind Tebow was poor coincidence of timing for Cam. Seems like Tebow was pretty good back in the day.

Jarrett Lee riding the pine despite Jordan Jefferson looking completely lost in the last three games of the season. Sending him out to take a knee in the SEC title game was insulting.


I would have told Miles to kiss my arse and walked off.

Botch Jones having Josh Dobbs, Nathan Peterman, and Riley Ferguson on his roster...and starting Justin fricking Worley.

And some people wonder why we hated him.

If not for Tom Brady sitting behind Drew Henson, you would have won the internet today.

Jarrett Lee was scared to death of Alabama. In 4 appearances against the tide he had 24 completions and 7 interceptions. Putting him into the game on 1/9/12 would’ve resulted in the game getting way out of hand.

Matt Cassel has a strong case. Has to be one of the only QBs to never throw a TD in college football and still get drafted.


And play like 12 years in the league

To all the people saying Cam at UF - what more did you want out of the QB position in 2007 and 2008 (the only time he was there)?

Tebow won the Heisman the first year and led y'all to the ship the next.

Tua is basically Peyton Manning, Mike Vick, and Tom Brady all rolled into one according to the Hurts haters.

I hope Hurts plays every down left of his eligibility just to piss off the delusional haters

Everyone knows that Jeremy Johnson is the best backup QB of all time and should have started every 2014 game instead of Nick Marshall
