Nah it's Jeff George for me. Dude was absolutely lights out throwing the football and had whole stretches where he looked like the second coming of Dan Marino - but he was a total head case. But he was so talented that he teased about four franchises by himself. He made A LOT of money. Ultimate QB tease.
My favorite part of this list is right at the beginning for #10. Joe Benigno gets asked how he would describe a QB tease, and he immediately says Sanchez lol. Like, doesn't even wait or think to answer.
carson wentz is probably #1 for me. in 2017, in only his second season, he probably would have won mvp if he didn’t get hurt, and despite a couple decent seasons he just never put it together again and is a journeyman stopgap starter now. its very rare and strange for someone to be that great, that young, and not go on to have a storied career.
All big ten quarterback for the 1989 Illinois Fighting Illini
Number one overall pick by The Indianapolis Colts in 1990
Also played quarterback in the 1990s & early 2000s for the Atlanta Falcons Oakland Raiders Minnesota Vikings Washington Redskins Seattle Seahawks Chicago Bears 🐻 in his 13 year NFL career (1990-2003)
Only three playoff appearances (1-2 record) 1995 Falcons 1999 Vikings
Man, Rick Mirer was a huge prospect in Seattle. Especially with Dan McGwire busting out immediately before drafting him. For pure nostalgia I bought a 1993 Classic autograph of his a few years back.
My ultimate qb tease was Clint stoerner in 2001 vs the giants. He was the 4th qb to start for the cowboys that year and starts out 8-9 for 119 yards and 1 td leading them to 17-0 lead before I go to church. I come home and he threw 4 picks and handed the game back to the giants (27-24) before getting benched for Ryan leaf. Yikes.
