The best college football player EVER?

Featured Replies

:lol:

 

 

 

Career totals from 2003-2005

 

 

444-completions, 718-attempts, 6,040-yards, 44-TD, 28-INT

 

While Matt Leinart did this from 2003-2005

 

807-completions, 1245-attempts, 10693-yards, 99-TD's, 23-INT's

 

 

Flat out who's the better QB?

 

No Way Vince is better than Leinart in college, and no way is he the best college football player ever, IMO not even in the top 10.

 

Where are Young's rushing stats???

Tough question to try and narrow it down. Do you vote your favorite? The best you think you saw? Offense and/or Defense?

 

Favorite

Offense: Earl Campbell, Texas

Defense: Art Still, Kentucky

 

 

Best

Offense: Reggie Bush, USC (He could break it anytime, anywhere)

 

Defense: Hugh Green, Pitt (Dominated teams from DE/LB)

 

 

These are some I thought no one else would list and I thought qualify for discussion.

I just gotta say that Earl Campell is my all time favorite football player. I thought about him but I just think Sanders is the best.

Archie Griffin

Where are Young's rushing stats???

 

 

457-attempts, 3,127-yards, 6.8-avg, 37-TD's

 

 

Still doesn't make him the BEST college play EVER, and anyone who says so hasn't checked the stats of every player to play college football.

Off the top of my head...

 

OJ Simpson, Marcus Allen, Paul Hornung, Tim Brown, Vince Young, Reggie Bush, Brian Brohm (;)), The Four Horsemen, Roger Staubach, Barry Sanders, Ricky Williams

This is more of my favorite then best ever but one of the biggest clutch, big game pressure QB's of the last 25 years was Tommie Frazier. That guy just had the will to win and was a monster from 92-95. Undefeated and 2 national titles in his last two years, he was just dominate during that span and beat the snot out of a lot of highly ranked teams. Eddie George stole the heisman from him.

 

Here's a little refresher for people who dont remember his play.

 

He was one of the first to come to mind to me, but I didn't pick him cause being a Nebraska fan that would had been a homer call:D None the less i think Griffith was the best closely followed by Sanders and the one and only Tyler Rose.

Off the top of my head...

 

OJ Simpson, Marcus Allen, Paul Hornung, Tim Brown, Vince Young, Reggie Bush, Brian Brohm (;)), The Four Horsemen, Roger Staubach, Barry Sanders, Ricky Williams

 

IMO arguably the best college QB ever.

I don't think Michael Vick is in the top 25 either. If you can justify putting him in there then there is no way Vince Young is left out, he won a National Championship. I'd have to question Phillip Rivers too.
