Steve Mcnair And The Hall Of Fame

After his injury, he was fully healed and ready to play when the coach realized they’re backup quarterback was younger and had a really good game. The coach decided to take a chance with the backup and benched Alex smith. He had to sit out knowing the team that used to be his didn’t want him anymore. Alex Smith’s whole career he threw 128 touchdown passes. He has over 10,000 yards passing in his whole career. I respect alex smith because when his career as a 49er ended he didn’t

Tom Brady is the best quarterback in NFL history because he’s tied for the most Super Bowl wins for a quarterback, he also has two MVP trophies, and is on pace for another MVP season. Tom Brady overcomes the odds no matter what. He was a sixth round draft pick so there was very little faith in his ability as a professional quarterback.

Warren Moon is one of the most influential quarterbacks in NFL history. He was also one of the first black quarterbacks, and without a doubt the best. He is the only black quarterback in the Hall of Fame, however, he wasn’t always well liked by many. When he declared for the NFL Draft, his agent told him that he would probably be drafted in between the fourth and seventh rounds, with fourth being a little bit generous. Teams claimed that he’d have to switch

Michael Vick growing up was always very athletic. He was always the fastest and the best at most of the sports that he played. He went to high school for two years and played College Football at Virginia Tech, where as a freshman he placed third in the Heisman Trophy balloting. He left after his sophomore year to enter the NFL and was drafted first overall by the Falcons in the 2001 draft, the first African-American quarterback ever to be taken first overall. In six seasons with the Falcons, he gained wide popularity for his performance on the field, and led the Falcons to the playoffs twice. During his tenure with Atlanta, Vick was selected to three Pro-Bowls. The Atlanta Falcons made him the first player selected. Vick became the Falcons’ starting quarterback his second season. He helped Atlanta reach the playoffs in 2002 and the conference championship game in 2004 (“Vick”). During that time Michael Vick on

Brett Favre was more than just the starting quarterback in the Green Bay community and organization. He was face of the franchise, and a living legend in the national football league. Before Favre’s arrival to Green Bay, The Packers had only five winning seasons between the years of 1968 and 1991. In Brett’s sixteen NFL seasons with Green Bay, they recorded just one losing season. With the Packers Brett won three consecutive MVP awards coming in 1994, 1995, and 1996. He was nominated

After Newton’s college career, he certainly raised questions about his ability to make it in the national football league. (NFL) On talent alone, he was the number 1 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. But many football experts wondered openly if Newton would be worth the investment.

With the first pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts selected Peyton Manning. Peyton's background looked to set him up for a great career from the start. Manning was talked up to be a great player, and he has proved himself throughout the years. While already being one of the most known quarterbacks in NFL history, Peyton is also considered by many to be the greatest of all time. Peyton Manning is the best quarterback in NFL history because of the following: he's humble on and off the field, he's resilient through neck injuries and surgeries, and he holds a lot of NFL records.

After playing college football for the University of Michigan, Tom Brady was drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft. In Brady's 13 full seasons as a starter (he missed nearly all of 2008 with a torn ACL),[4][5] the Patriots have earned six trips to the Super Bowl, winning four.

Almost all defensive backs look up to Taylor. The way he played was nothing like the football played today. Even today, ten years after his death he is still looked up to. “All the guys looked up to him” said Mike Hans, coach of the Atlanta Falcons. Hans didn’t know Taylor but he’s never seen a safety like him. He was all over the field. Some coaches said he has a “nose for the ball,” he just always knew where it was and how to get there. But when he got there he punished whoever had it. Quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers have all said that Taylor is the hardest hitter they have ever played. You always had to keep an eye on him during the game. Because if you didn’t you would get blindsided. He was just one of those players. He didn’t go out there to make friends. He went to tackle the ball carrier as hard as he

At Norte Dame, Kizer threw for 5589 yards, 45 touchdowns, 18 interceptions with a quarterback rating of 148.75 along with rushing for 1029 yards and 17 touchdowns. With a quarterback class headlined my Michell Trubisky and Deshawn Watson, it comes to no surprise that Kizer was 4th quarterback picked in the draft after Trubisky Watson and Patrick Mahomes. Coming out of college, Kizer was rated high by a lot of NFL Scouts calling him the fourth best quarterback in the

He is notoriously known as ‘Scam Newton’ because, according to ESPN’s associated press, “The documents indicate Newton's father, Cecil Newton, and ex-Mississippi State player Kenny Rogers sought from $120,000 to $180,000 for the quarterback to sign with the Bulldogs out of junior college but didn't ask any other school for money.” Well, this has since gone in along with the other skeletons Newton holds in his closet. On the other hand, Russell Wilson; a man who has earned everything he has wanted in life. He played for the minor league team of the Colorado Rockies, they are better known as the Tri-City Dust Devils. He was drafted out of college after having a stellar career at North Carolina University as the starting quarterback, but after leaving the university for baseball he lost his starting job and was left to start over again at a different university. He was heavily favored to attend, coincidentally, the Alma mater of Cam Newton, the University of Auburn. Russell chose to attend the University of Wisconsin, On Wisconsin!
