Name This Quarterback

[Warner2BruceTD]

The only person to ever throw for 25 yards in his rookie season was Falcons Ben Bennett who went 1 for 2 for 25 yards in 1984, but he was a 6th round pick.

So the QB in question here did not play as a rookie.

Oh...I assumed "The first 5 years of his career" meant year 1 = rookie year :\

[Berowsk]

Mike Phipps?

As did I

[Berowsk]

[young2rice]

In that case...H.O.F. Len Dawson

There it is.

He played as a rookie, though.

Thoughts from the peanut gallery on 1st round upside now?

Not rushing a player and throwing him into the wild ended up being a good idea.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Len Dawson was stuck behind quality QB's like Earl Morrall, Bobby Layne, and Milt Plum early in his career.

There is a pretty big difference between those guys and the players Brady Quinn has been unable to unseat (Derek Anderson, Ken Dorsey, Tim Tebow, Kyle Orton).

When Dawson finally got to play, he thrived. When Quinn has played, he's been pretty terrible.

The point is that you don't know how careers are going to turn out. Too many variables. Coaches change, schemes change, players change, etc.

Who were all the quality DE's/OLB's that Jason Babin failed to unseat as he was bouncing around the league?

Thanks for letting me know.

[FirstTimer]

I don't know whether to delete this thread or Berowsk's

And Warner. When Quinn has played he has been absurdly average.

Where did you come up with that? Dawson threw for 25 yards in his rookie year.

BTW, Ben Bennett...greatest Chicago Bruiser ever.

This thread fucking sucks.

Only reason why Babin thrived is because he went to the Wide 9 defense, which guarantees even people like Champ 10 sacks a year. He's a product of a system.
